A mate just sent me this link - pretty fun for anyone who's played Sunday League before.

  • I love Sunday league football talk. Cracks me up.

    Cant believe the all time favourite isn't on there though.

    'Turn and face, turn and face' - you have to say it twice for some reason
  • I like the one someone has added to the comments at the bottom -

    "DON'T LET HIM DO THAT!" - to be shouted just after he's done that.

  • Haha love the still 0-0 one.
  • Brillant, love the "Dont let it bounce!"
  • "All Day"
    An utterly irritating phrase (specifically designed to be so) used by smug opponents to declare your attacking efforts as weak and unlikely to succeed, even if repeated. Often said twice in quick succession – as a speculative effort flies into neighbouring allotments – to compound the humiliation.

    so true

    'He dont want it!' when their big lumbering centre half has the ball at his feet

    Quickly followed by three or four people shouting "PUT HIM UNDER" simultaneously
  • 'Come on mate, we've all gotta go to work tomorrow' after a late tackle.
  • "HE'S ONLY GOT ONE FOOT"

  • After some pressure, usually followed with a panicked clearance its always "They're rattled" which seems to rile teams up more ha ha
  • "DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM, PLAY YOUR OWN GAME"

    "THEY DON'T WANNA KNOW LADS"

    heard this a couple of Saturdays ago when our oppo had pulled back from 2-0 down to 2-2.
  • "DAVID JONES, DAVID JONES, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT DAVID JONES. WALK AWAY DAVID JONES"#

    "Get up/out!" when you've hoofed it clear.

    "Line it".

    "Hold the line!" despite the fact you know the dopey bloke you've got running the line will miss any offside anyway.
  • 'REF HE WAS ABOUT 5 YARDS ON' shout from the goalie 70 yards away on an offside call
  • That was originally from this site http://angleofpostandbar.blogspot.co.uk/ . There's some cracking stuff on there all about the clichés used in the game (both playing and watching).
  • 'JUSTICE'

    after a dubious penalty is missed.

    heard this 2 Saturdays ago.
  • Great spot Off_It. Funny as you like.
  • keep him on his left foot, down the outside, over the top , ref your having a laugh and one I used to use a lot why did you send me off

    And that is just from the parents on the touch line
  • @ItsSundayLeague is fun to follow on Twitter - full of this sort of stuff.
  • "TWO BANKS OF FOUR"
  • Overhit throughball.

    "I'm not ******* Usain Bolt"
  • 'IVE GOT TWO HERE!!!' meaning your only marking one but if he scores then you've got yourself well covered.
  • love that one valleygary
  • go straight through him is another one I used to use
  • 'IVE GOT TWO HERE!!!' meaning your only marking one but if he scores then you've got yourself well covered.

    Yep - definately!

    Remember playing for Cray Harriers years ago and an opponent said this after we had a soft penalty saved, the ref booked him for it, and it was a second yellow, so off he went. We ended up winning 3-0, Spankie scoring 1, me scoring the other two :) albeit against 9 men by that stage.

    Brilliant, used that one myself a few times!
