The "Press"

I never realised how to activate so many people's buttons, then I discovered the press.

To me this a new term in football which I don't remember hearing until the last few years.

OP. Have you never played a game of organised football? You know, with nets, refs and dugouts?

yeah I don’t understand this article

I blame the press. If the press didn't keep producing articles about the press then we would have pressed on with the much more succinct "running after the ball" as it was called in my day. I'm not impressed

like those lady reporters with the badge on their chest that says "press"

Talk about a come on

Nobody has answered the question yet. I played for my school, college, pubs and town back in the day when we had real footballs and the only press was what you did with the iron when it was your (or your Mum's) turn to launder the kit. To me "The Press" was a laundry cupboard.

It's just goes to show how little some people know about football to think the press is just about closing down quickly.
