I often pine for the days growing up in the 80s when football was sticker albums, grandstand, teletext and ceefax.
----------------------
Before advent of teletext/ceefax if you missed the scores on tv/radio you would have to ring a mate up, or wait for match of the day. And if you missed that you would find out the scores from the Sunday paper.
How times have changed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
do you not remember the sports newspaper printed on a saturday evening when all the results were in. Think they were normally pink.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There was a pink one, the Pink Final, and green one, the Green Final.

No I didn't remember . My parents never bought one so we never had a copy around the house. But now you mention it I do recall seeing the pink paper in the newsagents.

''They've got the bragging rights" – the most irritating and mindless football commentator's term. after 10 years, I'm delighted to say it's on the way out. Hopefully...

North American sports are so much worse when it comes to annoying terms.
"You've got to be kidding me" after a routine play bugs me more than it should.
Talking of Ron Atkinson remember him doing a champions league game one night and a kid was taking a free kick on the edge of the box and Ron said " hes taking a run up like Freddie Trueman" i could just imagine youngsters asking their fathers who freddie trueman used to play for.
And then you get Paul "Socrates" Merson who, when asked what qualities his manager instils in the team, delivered this pearl, "He gives us unbelievable belief".
Some footballers are just better kept away from a microphone.

Classic Likely Lads episode when they tried to avoid the result of an England match all day so they could watch the highlights. The great Brian Glover was in it.

The Americanisms that are being forced into football annoy me. "Clutch" especially.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This. Awful term
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What word would you use to replace clutch?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Final plays”…. What? Is Jesse expecting a touchdown score?
I see it as respect to learn the standard jargon where you are being employed, even when it is in a different language. When I was living in the USA, I thought some of their ‘soccer’ terminology was weird, but just went with it and tried hard to remember! I just reminded the national teams competed under FIFA and CONCACAF when they became too much. Game, set, match.

Take any of the main US sports and seriously they don’t know the meaning of passion. A few years back when we went to New York I took my boys to Madison Square Garden to see a Rangers ice hockey match. I was jumping up and and down whenever Rangers scored while the home supporters barely broke off from their popcorn. Put them in Elland Road and they’d cr@p themselves!

That is hilarious. Some real gems.
First comment for a while. Decided to take a step back after the roller coaster that led to final day elation.
On the OP point - been watching the Lionesses and has been a real joy but the use of the word 'Overload' is driving me mad.
On the point of American Sports, not sure I agree as having been in a packed 'Metrodome' in New Orleans, the Saints fans were very fanatical and extremely loud.
Fenway Park ( Boston Red Sox ) was another very atmospheric Sporting Arena - This was where we first heard 'Sweet Caroline' quite a few years back although not so keen hearing it at UK football matches.
It's been very interesting reading some of the comments on here in recent weeks, talk about knee jerk reactions concerning out's and In's!
Finally a massive thank you to St. Kalvin and Rapha, you have both been absolutely massive for LUFC and deserve every success in the future. ( Same to Jack if he does leave).
