Our sport seems to have some funny sayings that you don't hear outside the game, doesn't it?

Just read this on another board "he's a good defensive coach, but =#00BFFFfor mine, I'd see who is available at the end of the season."

Who says "for mine" normally?

Also, nowhere else do I hear someone "chiming" into something but apparently full backs in RL do it regularly!


Any others...?...

Gerrrr in to um.

That was annoyingly used on thurs night.

Off the island, losing or gaining real estate, He's lost his hips, I've looked every where but I can't find that lost hip shop.

I hear (and sometimes use) "for mine" outside of RL. Same with "chiming in", but only when referring to something verbal, never physical.

I'm fairly sure Jamie Peacock's age doesn't come up even nearly as frequently outside of RL.

I wonder how long before this thread turns into a Stevoisms one.

"That No. 15 for Wire is destroying us"

oh, sorry. I misread the thread as "unheard RL sayings"

back on thread

not so much a saying, more a noun, the vomit inducing "dressing sheds" or just "sheds", the equally sickening "he's pouched it" or field goal

Pretty much anything ever uttered by Ray French

"Hes give him the big see ya laider "

a its s stupid saying, and Brian Noble you are not American so its pronounced ....Lay-Ter with a t in the middle..

but if you can use the phrase "hand off " id appreciate it thanks....

it's over to Phil Clarke

Get him snotted i first heard that at leeds in the 90's

No where else is the first or second half of anything called a stanza . wtf ?

Whitewash & the next (insert as appropriate) is important to both sides.

Haha, good one. We're going through Stevo's vocab here aren't we?

It's not particularly silly but perhaps particular to RL the use of the word club, as in Roy Asotasi has just signed a new three year deal with the Warrington Club as their marquee signing.

In my delicate state of health, shocks to the heart like that could easily tip me over the edge. Why couldn't it have been the 'Leeds club' in your example ?

It's our year!

A new one not silly but give me your eyes, give me your eyes.

I've been to many sporting events over the years but it's only at the rugby that I've heard the word spleen.

I actually hate hearing the older fans at whatever ground shout "Man N Ball"...!!! The strange thing is I don't even know why it annoys me..!

When, and more importantly why, was the 'Up and Under' replaced by the 'Bomb' ?

Come on ! It's not a bomb , it's a bloody rugby ball

Did anybody ever see one explode ?

No ?

A very silly saying, I rest my case

Ha! That was my mum's catch phrase (along with "where's the support!?"icon_wink.gif at Wilderspool, so I sometimes shout it in jest.

Re. Fixture changes and scheduling and people saying "They should think about the fans"

Well, the game sold out to TV a good while ago, and TV will continue to dictate, hence another pointless saying to add to the collection.

And then the "bomb" is "diffused" in-goal!

Ref saying "both feet on the line" to a goal line defence, compared to the number of players that actually do it, yet aren't penalised.

One said on Sky tonight, that gets said a lot is "xx points to the good".

That could be an Eddie/Stevoism though.

Another Stevo one he's brought from the Aussies

"Well, the coach will be doing the rounds of the kitchen"

I've asked people from The Oxford English Dictionary, Wise Men, Susie Dent from Countdown and that "lady's front pocket" Joey Essex, and none of them could come up with an explaination
