Annoying Punditisms

fdsfdsahhertdd · 28-03-2017 8:10pm #1

I don't mean the usual Clichés like 'Game of two halves" or 'Shot on target' or 'gave 110 percent', etc. At least they add something to the point being made.

My real hate is needless nonsensical Pluralising which makes no sense, for example:

"You wouldn't get that from your Mayos or Dublins, your Ronaldos or Rooneys, your Englands or Germanys, your Shefflins or Corbetts, your McGeadys or Bradys ... ".
You get the idea.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

osarusan · 28-03-2017 8:33pm

"I've seen them given"...you coward.

Outlaw Pete · 28-03-2017 8:33pm

Yeah, hate needless nonsensical pluralising too. The pundits of yesteryear weren't at that irritating crap.

Talking about your Ron Atkinsons, your Jimmy Hills, Des Lynams etc.

selwyn froggitt · 28-03-2017 8:35pm

Ron Manager: Cor, Ryan Giggs, you know? Giggsy, isn't it? Mmm? Giggsy- wiggsy? Mmm? Oh! Ryan-y Giggsy- wiggsy ...

The word "GUILE"....

You will NEVER see or hear of this word....ever, except when it comes to RTÉ pundits talking shïte about soccer. Giles, Dunphy, Brady and now Richie Sadlier is at it.

F*cking guile.

Listen, he'll know himself. You won't have to say anything to him after the game. There will be no one more disappointed than coward in whats happened there. And I feel for the lad. It's just one of those things. Jumpers
for goal posts.

"This one is six pointer"

No it's not. You get 3 points if you win. Maths fail!

Nonsensical pluralism indeed

Also, in the entire history of GAA, there hasn't been a game in which the winning team didn't hunt in packs.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 28-03-2017 8:44pm

He's got pace.
He's got power.

He always has the two, never just one of those things

For me - I think that's a great phrase denoting a vitally important match.

gramar · 28-03-2017 8:48pm

A team after missing three chances and the commentator says they should be 3 up.
Had the first gone in who knows what would have happened. The course of the game
might have completely changed. Maybe the other team would have come back into it
and scored three.

Sort of, the bit of space between the defenders and the goalkeeper, when a ball is whipped across from the side.

A kaleidoscope of colour, a cacophony of sound

Mister Vain · 28-03-2017 9:07pm

My personal favourite from Pat Spillane. "Was it a good game? No but bejesus it was exciting."

Zebra3 · 28-03-2017 9:08pm

"He's been a great servant to the club".

No he hasn't. He's been on a hundred grand a week, ffs.

fdsfdsahhertdd · 28-03-2017 9:12pm

@Mister Vain

I like that too, but unfortunately it doesn't qualify as an 'annoying punditism'.

Now - back on topic.

'The boy done well'

What were they thinking making upside down kick +6 on normal hit in season 2? :pac:

Pherekydes · 28-03-2017 9:14pm

Ireland Vs Iceland (or any other country) is NOT the "beautiful game".

It HAS to be played beautifully for it to be the "beautiful game".

ChippingSodbury · 28-03-2017 9:17pm

Look, it bugs the ****e out of me when every answer has to start with "Look, ..."

gramar · 28-03-2017 9:19pm

Oops69 · 28-03-2017 10:05pm

"The big winner today was the sport of football / hurling" and "its the greatest sport in the world ", inevitable every september, Vacuous morons shouldn't do philosophy.

That's just the punditry version of how everybody nowadays starts every sentence with 'so'.

"So, I was going to the shop..."
