Stuff you shout when watching us

[Tommy Cockles]

So I was watching the City game on Sunday (on TV) in my usual stressed out way & during a lull I was thinking about the things I say, or rather shout, while watching us. A sort of match Tourettes if you will

 

Many are the same things I've been shouting for 30 odd years. Many of them don't make sense but they can get yelled 5, 10, 50 times a match, depending on the level of stress, the state of the match & whether I'm in the ground or not.

 

Anybody got any of their own? I could use some new material, as the below basically represents my entire vocabulary (aside from expletives, howls, growls and players names)

 

 

Move for him

 

Help him out

 

Where are we? (a variant of "help him out")

 

Come short

 

Easy balls.

 

Time (as in take your time)

 

Get hold of it.

 

Turn.

 

Get your head up.

 

Get in the box.

 

Our ball here.

 

 

At set pieces or general danger:

 

Wide awake here.

 

On your toes.

 

Get up & get out.

 

Away.

 

Out.

 

Stand up. (as in don't dive in tackle wise)

 

Stay there (as in keep on his case when we are harrying possession)

 

Get tight to him.

 

Get your tackles in here. (a favourite in the few minutes after we've just scored)

[Nerik]

Most of my shouting is reserved for the match officials.

[Swan Red]

I remember once shouting at Partrick Berger to skin someone who wasn't there, like there was no one within about 10 yards of him, skin who from the wag beside me

[cymrococh]

I've been convinced for a some years now that every time I say 'Go on' when a player's through on goal (which I do a lot), they miss.

[JRC]

Give him an option

 

Look for it, Reds

 

Get up you tart (virtually extinct as now unacceptable, but comes out at times still)

 

Man's game, Ref (may go way of above)

 

Bought that one

 

Put him under (the 'Pressure' is implicit, but I secretly like the darker implications of Sounessian violence)

 

Turn and Face

 

Look Wide

[D.Boon]

Carry it.

Sounessian violence - a great phrase

Yeah some good stuff here. Of course "turn and face"

 

Carry it.

 

Nice.

[psl]

'And again'

 

When a further pass to another man in the same direction is on, obviously.

[Murphman]

'I'll go!!' when a pass is over hit.

 

'FFS you've done the hard bit!!' when a player beats a couple of oppos then f*cks it up.

Commendable variety there. For the whole of the Chelsea home game last season, I was sat in a bar next to a fella shouting "Keep the ball", over and over again. Nothing against him, he was alright really, but that got old very very fast.

 

As for mine own part, I tend to suffer in silence, apart from a "_ing shoot" or "wake up" here and there.

[Bogman]

"come in his face" was one I shouted the other week at Skittles I believe. Should have been "get", but it ended up as "come".

 

To the mirth of those around me.

A parallel thread should be started for 'what non football fans say when watching England games down the pub'

 

'SCORE A GOAL!' being my favourite.

[Tommy Cockles]

"He's on his own" is another variant of the "help him out/where are we?" options.

 

I use it when I don't think I am getting through and it's as if I am appealing to their nobler motives.

 

As "you can't leave him there all on his own the poor fella"

MOVE FFS

Back Him Up

 

Get There (when tracking an opponent breaking into space) followed by 'Stand Up' as in don't dive in.

 

Watch the Runner

 

When I first stood on The Kop, early 70's, there was a legendary bloke by us, an ex-Docker called Bert with a fantastically loud voice, but the single-phrase shouting vocabulary of 'Destroy 'Em, (Reds)'.

 

He was both more articulate and (spectacularly) profane when he spoke normally, with the exception of when my Dad brought my Mum along, whereby he was urbanity personified.

[Mike]

Lad who used to sit behind me a the match used to shout, everytime the ball was outside the box ready for a cross on an attack, "Little dink!". Proper para for a while.

Yeah. "Get there" I use that a lot, can't believe I left it off my original list.

 

I have used "back him up" but not for ages, I've gone exclusively with "help him out" in recent years, and "where are we?" when I'm getting exasperated.

I'm not sure I should find this as funny as I do but it's f***ing hilarious

[Falconhoof]

There used to be a fella who liked to encourage Barnes by shouting 'come on digger lad, you f***ing bull's pizzle' I've never heard that phrase from anyone else.

[sutty]

No fouls.

[muleskinner]

f*** off

 

That was never a foul

 

How many times ref?

 

Blow the f***ing whistle

I always like to use players first names when i'm giving them stick as well, i like to think the personal touch means they wont go into a shell.

[Swipe]

"Degen!"

[Bigal]

My dad has the one at the minute, Sahko to Skrtel to Can to Mignolet......

 

"CHRISTS SAKE! STOP f***FARTING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

Carry it

 

Go Forward

 

TURN

 

Hit it

 

Jammy prick.

 

Lastly........ TOUCH
