This is advice I have often given to my kids that I think works more often than not and that I have even been known to shout out at QPR.
- Shoot across the keeper
- Follow the shot in
- Go to the ball rather than let it come to you
Would love to hear other people's favourite football-related sayings to expand my repertoire as my family are a bit bored with mine... |  | | |  |

In 5/6 a side - STAY ON YOUR MEN! STAY ON YOUR MEN! STAY ON YOUR MEN!
Basically if you mark well in small sided games (and lose your men while attacking) you're going to do well but you have to keep reminding the lazy c--ts. Maybe I say it too much, I dunno. [Post edited 13 Nov 2020 17:47]

If there's a better strict man-to-man defence in London small sided football than my Monday lot I'm yet to see it. All deep into our 30s now, regularly schooling fancy flick and trick younger teams 1-0 and 0-0 in dour hours of gruel. Conceded less than a goal a game last season which is quite something for small sided football an hour a game. Wouldn't pay to watch us mind. So far this season 2-0, 2-3, 0-0. |  | | |

In our six a side league there's a team simply called "Serbia".
Always a lively one that. God knows what they're shouting but probably best we don't know. |  | | |

The worst one near me is a miserable old sod who spends the entire game shouting
'FOR-WARD' the entire time. Non stop. I have never known anyone moan more than he does, but when we win he does at least look happy.
The 'get out' one is a good one. Every keeper shouts GET OUT or GET IT OUT every time a corner comes over. It just feels like the most obvious advice. I want a defender to just go, 'all right mate, we know what we're supposed to do here. We don;'t shout CATCH IT, CATCH IT at you, do we? Wind it in, pal.'
Don't let it bounce is very popular where I sit too.
I'm a fan of the sarcastic stand up and clap when the ref fails to give a yellow card for a blatant offence and does the old final warning charade, 'well done ref, that'll learn him!' |
I think we sit equidistant either side of FORWARD man. | | | |

Keeper's Ball!
Shoot!
Man On! (always sounds strange when girl and women footballers shout it to each other)
Found myself as a coach on the sidelines in youth football in USA shouting 'unlucky!' at kids who got off a good shot at goal that narrowly missed. I think they were baffled by that.
In my own pathetic football career ranging from Captain of the C team at Burlington Danes to adult football games in California, I found I was extremely talkative keeping up a stream of hopefully positive comments aimed at teammates like 'good tackle!', 'nice ball!, 'well won!' but may have ended up just as irritating as the guy saying the other team doesn't fancy it. |  |

Played in a Saturday morning team entirely made up of Italians, who took playing out from the back to such extremes they were often passing it around behind me, and I was the goalkeeper. They shouted "SOLO" solo solo solo. solo. solo. solo. all the time. I presume it's their equivalent of TIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE. | | | |

I remember he genuinely and without irony shouted during one of our rare big wins, when we were about 4 up. Absolutely incredible man. |  |

I genuinely miss him dreadfully. Allen munching his giant plate of chips through every minute of silence. Gazza other side of the aisle taking the pis out of me. Seann behind me precursing every amazing moment we have by screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOING...." in my ear.
God I miss it. | | | |

“WHO’S ON 10? WHO’S ON 10? WHO’S ON 10?... oh, for fuc k’s sake, Fulham!”
“BODIES! BODIES! BODIES!” Whenever we break, only to spot that the other ten players are loitering in our own half with zero intention of joining the attack.
“ANYWHERE!” The cry that goes up when we get the ball on the edge of our box and we’re defending a one goal lead from about ten minutes onwards.
“HOME! HOME! NOOOO! YOU FUC KING TWA T!” When a defender is shepherding the ball out, but ends up putting it out for a corner or playing the ball into the path of their centre-forward.
I really miss the football. |  |

One for the 5-a-side:
"Half-way line, half-way line"
Shouted at every outfield player to drop in a line and defend from there but really aimed at the lazy striker who pushes up too far deliberately so he can be bypassed and just stand around while everyone else sweats to win the ball back. |  |

Channels! Channels! - Doesn’t have to mean anything but sounds intelligent
I played in a college team who lost every game, though we didn’t let more than 10 in after the first three weeks. My go-to line was, “Never mind the score lads, the next goal’s ours!” [Post edited 13 Nov 2020 19:48]

"You can see what he was thinking"
This can be applied to just about anything.
A bit off topic but we've got a player in our cricket team who insists on telling us that we should be "walking in" for whatever reason.
Any slight loss of concentration - "Walking in, walking in lads"
Ball creamed by batsman flies 50 yards over your head - "LADS, walking in" |  |

I shout all the aforementioned pointless garbage at the telly everytime I watch us play. But I coach my son's team and after hearing Chris Hughton talking about 'playing through the lines' the year Newcastle got promoted, I regularly shout that when we are attacking. I always hope that it will intimidate the oppo coach into thinking that we have a more sophisticated game plan than 'hoof it and run', but the results have been 'mixed' at best.
On the 'out,out' shout at corners;ever since crowds have been banned from games, it is interesting to hear luminaries such as Klopp and Guadiola (or at least their coaching staff) shouting this very advice
For our Over 40's (30's welcome as long as they can prove they were at the same level of unfitness as us oldies)six-a-side, one of my team-mates used to shout 'to your right, Mike, to your right' even if my right shoulder was pinned up against the wire mesh fencing! | | | |

Have to confess I'm also a "triangles!" blurter. On the few occasions I've watched a televised Rs game with my Dad (not a big football fan) he tells me I enter into an animated trance-like state where "triangles", "someone move for him" and "it's a simple game" are the most uttered phrases.
