Anyone who's played Sat/Sun park football will appreciate this.

brilliant stuff, thanks for the link.

Very funny & completely true, but they missed such classics as "on-me-'ed" & "square ball" or "squibble" as it's usually pronounced.

When I was younger and fit enough to play park football the favourite phrase of the ageing centre back in the team was "If in doubt kick it out"

[Saint Mikey]

I put on the comments section the immortal phrase: 'Jog it in - rest when you get there!'

'Up `is arrrrsssssssssse!'

Excellent read. Hear everyone one of those phrases at my kids Tyro league games on a Sunday......and that's just from the parents.
