Weekend Football

[niko_cee]

Dig up man! Up!

[bruhnaldo]

I'm just saying it makes perfect sense to me so I'm going to continue using it as such :)

Thanks everyone as always for their continued commitment to correcting every single, solitary mistake I make :)

[Pepe]

If they correct 'every single mistake you make,' how can the mistake also be solitary?

[bruhnaldo]

I hope you stretched before making that egregious reach.

[Pepe]

Triggered.

If I take something and I send it to you I've shipped it.

We took the ball and shipped it 6 times passed the keeper.

Don't really see how that's wrong.

Different use of the word, the usage in relation to goals in football is more akin to a boat 'shipping' water ie letting water in.

It's footballing parlance, much like wingers aren't actually on planes and strikers aren't actually taking industrial action.

To ship a goal is to concede it.

Normally I wouldn't bother but in this case I wasn't actually certain who had won, I had to look up some American football results and I really don't think anyone else should have to go through that.

Except I said we "shipped a goal past*" someone. Not that we shipped goals.

[bruhnaldo]

Apparently I'm not the only person in history to use it like that either.

I googled "shipped x past" with the x being different numbers (3 thru 5) and tons of people have used the phrase like that. :drool:

Winning!

[Boydy]

I don't think anyone's winning here.

[John]

So what you said was 'we conceded a goal past...'

You're welcome to use whichever words you want, just know that you're talking garbled nonsense.

No, what I said was "we shipped (v.) past tense - "transport (goods or people)" 6 past New England", as in we took the ball and transported it into the net by means of head and foot.

[Pepe]

:D

[bruhnaldo]

Plenty of people pretend like definitions of words are irrelevant if they also belong to certain idioms. What's your point?

'Shipping' also means taking on water.

If you're committed to this thing though you should say 'shipped the ball', not the goal.

[bruhnaldo]

You're right, words can sometimes have many definitions. :)

Ship
verb
past tense: shipped; past participle: shipped
1.
transport (goods or people) on a ship.
"Orlando City shipped 6 goals past New England"
2.
(of a boat) take in (water) over the side.
"New England shipped 6 goals at Orlando City"

Words are fun! :)

[Giggles]

They're really not in this instance.

[bruhnaldo]

I'm having a great time.

[Pepe]

Me too.

This are the substitutes for a Europa League side tonight. Name the team.

[Danny]

I thought Akpom was still at Arsenal so them?

[Boydy]

BATE Borisov.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm pretty sure I've released all seven of those on FM at one point or another.

[randomlegend]

It's times like this it starts to make sense how an ostensibly civilised, advanced nation elected Donald Trump.

[phonics]

I'm not watching the match due to a work do but BBC are making it sound like Wilshere is having a worldie :drool:

[Foe]

Playing around 18 year olds and against goat herders will do that for you.

Because we understand dictionary definitions of basic words?

[Disco]

Like passed.

*rollercoaster*

[-james-]

Everton have been horrific here, at home to a mid-table Cypriot team. Don't think they've had a shot all game apart from Rooney's goal which was a through ball from an opposition defender past his own keeper.

[Waffdon]

They desperately need pace and width.

[-james-]

Rooney, Klaasen and Sigurdsson in the same side is basically netball.

[Pepe]

GTFO you two, we are discussing important stuff in here.

[phonics]

I saw this post while was still out and was waiting to get home before skewering this argument. Then the second goal came up on the highlights, then the third. Yeesh. Didn't this lot beat Pep, mate's Barcelona?

David Ospina seems unable to catch, kick or come out for a ball which considering his average position is behind his own goal line, seems a flaw. At least Sczxcxcxny was likeable while being shit.

[Adamski]

In all seriousness I’ve still got no clue whether Orlando City won or lost.

[Gray Fox]

Twitter sez Aguero was in a car crash in Amsterdam last night and is looking at months out with broken ribs. Peps going to be seething.

[niko_cee]

Fuck Pep, this is a fantasy crisis.

[Mazuuurk]

Already acted. Scared of the insane price drop.


Sooo, don't worry. He'll be fine and score a hattrick this weekend.

[Mazuuurk]

Also someone sort out a new fucking thread here. I mean what the actual fuck.

[niko_cee]

Price can't drop until the update, right?

[Mazuuurk]

Dunno, I never understood how that works actually. Sometimes it just seems to drop or increase over the week.

[Bernanke]

Östersunds FK now have 6 points in the first ever european apperance, the season after their first ever top flight appearance, winning their first ever domestic cup, six seasons after they were in the swedish fourth tier.

It's like an FM-save.

[SvN]

Get on them to win the Champions League by 2020

[Shindig]

It's like an FM-save.

It was an FM save for me til it crashed. Mo Barrow was just hitting his stride.
