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.

    "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

    After some pressure, usually followed with a panicked clearance its always "They're rattled" which seems to rile teams up more ha ha

    "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.

    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).

    'IVE GOT TWO HERE!!!' meaning your only marking one but if he scores then you've got yourself well covered.

    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.
