"Football is a hooligan's game. Follow cricket instead".

Loads of football saying from my dad. I remember once after a match in the shower he said...

"Don't wash it like that... give it here, I'll show you."

Whenever a player ended up injured, especially if he was struck in the g oolies:

"That'll stop his fa rting in church".

Constant and repetitive cries of "Mark your man!".

Every short corner "Such a waste"

Any skinny player "Look at him - he'd have to run around in the shower to get wet"

poor old side.......

It's heavy and falls to the floor quickly no bobbling.

oh ok...I thought it was a bit more technical than that..

" Man On !! "

Shouted with the same intensity as " Hands off the wife ! "

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 "
