Is get go not start/beginning?

It is, but that didn’t really work!!  It seems to be used a lot in the “hitting the ground running” context so I used a bit of poetic license (potentially another Wanky Phrase?!).

Definitely ‘hole’, as in the hole between midfield/attack. 

 

Brian Welsh (ex United and Hibs) is now running a ‘soccer school’ in America and one of his trialists turned up saying his position was a ‘hybrid 6/10’. 😩🤷🏼‍♂️

An 8?

I’d thought it would be a “box to box midfielder”.

I'm not going through 30 pages to see if it's been posted, but the now apparently standard response to a good result by players / managers / journos of

"we/they need to kick on from this".

Does ma box in big time!

That was Welsh’s understanding of it too. Followed by something along the lines of “If any player had said that to Wee Jum back in the day he’d never had kicked a ball again.....”

Track - it's a song

season - it's a series

pharmacy - it's a chemist

lunch - it's dinner

dinner - it's tea

supper - only if you're a greedy cunt

Agree with all except the lunch part. It’s not dinner, it’s denner.
