Tommy Cockles Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Most of my shouting is reserved for the match officials.
Swan Red Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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

Of course "turn and face" Carry it. Nice.
psl Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 'And again' When a further pass to another man in the same direction is on, obviously.
Murphman Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) '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. Edited March 6, 2015 by Murphman
fred Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) "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. Edited March 6, 2015 by Bogman
cymrococh Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 "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"

As "you can't leave him there all on his own the poor fella"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 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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.

"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.

Falconhoof Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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.
muleskinner Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) f*** off That was never a foul How many times ref? Blow the f***ing whistle Edited March 6, 2015 by muleskinner
D.Boon Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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.
Bigal Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 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
