Most annoying cliche?

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

"I can't come up with enough superlatives to describe him"


The Iron hipped chrome dome tonight.

 

[Inferno]

"The boys played really well"

"the forwards laid the platform"

"Yeah the boys trained really well this week" (as opposed to to every other week where they train sh*thouse?)

The phrase Big Bopper is the one that pisses me off the most.

Fox has given Braybrook Super 14 matches for some reason, unless the other dude is absent. It was like a League game with him calling.

I dont why, but I get a bit annoyed when he says "acting half". I've never heard him say dummy half.

True, he does like the acting half call. Super 14? Maybe he resigned from NRL after being paired up to call a game with Freeman once too often haha.

 

[MKEB...]

constantly hearing Peter Ropati and Stphen MCivor (sky nz commentators)
ask "have the warriors turned the corner in season 2006" after every game they win, (not many at that)

 

[kia ora storm]

"The boys have prepared well..."

"We did not show up today"...then where the hell were you ??.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

Listen to Danny Burderus talk next time,he is the king when it comes to cliche's.

 

[Knightmare]

"We've got to take it one game at a time and play the full 80 minutes"
"It was a game of two halves"
"He can score from anywhere on the field"
And a Peter Sterling beauty whenever there's a replay: "If we freeeeze it there..."

 

[Haynzy]

gus gould.....this kid is the best ....... in the game :roll:

 

[Balmain_Boy]

One of the annoying Marshall ones I was going to use to illustrate was used today in the paper "Marshall Law". Very clever...

 

[nqcowboy87]

i for one am a fan of the johns brothers, but here is one from matty thta i just get sick of
matty johns: the thing about andrew is that hes tough/ mentally tough/ thrives on adversity/ a real competitor and so on and so on
plus im not getting annoyed by the cowboys lassoing other teams cliche

 

[jamesgould]

Matthew Johns indeed has no shame when it comes to singing Andrew's praises. If that was me and my brother we would be mocking each other hard-out!

 

[parra pete]

'The pill'

The kiwi commentators only say the pill!
AHHH!

You mean the pull.!!!

 

[parra pete]

Cricket crowd commenting on Hadley during the late seventies.
....Hadlee's a wanker.. (Not an original, got it off the Parra Forum) but it's a classic, and true today as it ever was!!!!

 

[PARRA_FAN]

True, he does like the acting half call. Super 14? Maybe he resigned from NRL after being paired up to call a game with Freeman once too often haha.

He did call tonights Manly/Roosters game so that was probably a one off, but Freeman was down in Canberrra. You're right on the Freeman thing. :lol:

 

[parra pete]

"The boys played really well"

"the forwards laid the platform"

"Yeah the boys trained really well this week" (as opposed to to every other week where they train sh*thouse?)

The phrase Big Bopper is the one that pisses me off the most.

"Helloooooo Baby, this is the Big Bopper calling, will I what, will I what, oooh baby you knowwwww what I like"
Chantilly Lace....aah, thanks for the memory.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Another one, Freeman and his "the halfback has to inject himself in the game".

 

[Azkatro]

How about cliches in headlines that never made it to press?

"Toey Gasnier fires up at critics"
"Rabbitohs violated by Raper and his troops"
"Cowboys spurred on by Brokeback spirit"

Must be more creativity out there ...

 

[RABK]

"It's tray time"

Kiwi commentators.

 

[Stranger]

Shut the Gate, its billy see-you slater!

 

[rugged]

"X has played well since he came on"

Well I'm not surprised he didn't play very well while he was sitting on the bench!
