Football sayings inherited for your dad!

huh?

"...and fetch me a Bovril while you're there", that was another one...

Not from my Dad but a few years back I heard this gem at the Etihad

"Ireland, you couldn't beat a carpet"

when I was a young un the coach use to shout "let the ball do the work" .
ffsf- heard the same from villa fans priceless

My dad's in his 80's & his comments always amuse me. He says things like 'you're a wet egg' or a 'damp squib', and them blames me & always starts off 'well back in my day...'

Dad, you're at the game today...it's still in your day'

John Barnes was always a "fairy on a gob o'lard". Whatever the hell that meant

"I wouldn't pay him in cherry bobs" whatever the fook they are.

Or about the manager...." I wouldn't give him a job holding horses heads"

When a pundit used to try to predict a score my dad used to say "he couldn't tip a sh@t cart"..

He still swears he wasnt a rag-and-bone man in his youth

Missed pens would always provoke "he couldn't hit a barn door with a handful of cow $hit "
