[/quote]It''s not a ''potential banana skin''. The concept of the banana skin in itself expresses the potential, in that if there is a banana skin on the floor, there is a chance you might slip on it. It would only be a potential banana skin if, say, Paulton Rovers had been drawn against Manchester United and we had been drawn to face the winners: there would then be the potential for a match that had the potential to cause an upset: it would therefore be a potential banana skin. As it stands our tie against Paulton is just a banana skin. The question is, will be slip on it, or will we avoid the embarrassment? And, by the way, has anyone actually ever seen anyone slip on an actual banana skin in reality? I''m not sure they''re as dangerous as they''re made out to be.And don''t get me started on ''stonewall penalty''. What the hell does that mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquid_football 0 Posted October 25, 2009 And place your bets on how long it will be before we get to see a replay of that Ronnie Radford goal on TV [:p] I am fully aware that the concept of a "potential banana skin" in this context doesn''t make sense. As already pointed out, the majority of footballing clichés don''t. Never seen anybody slip on a banana skin. I too am doubtful of the danger that they pose.

Bovril 219 Posted October 25, 2009 the pitch being a leveller is a classic...one that is also absolute nonsense, there is a reason the players are at a higher level, because there better!It doesn''t matter what pitch your on, if both teams play on the same surface then the class 9/10 will shine through, this has nothing to do with the pitch but the attitude of the players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquid_football 0 Posted October 28, 2009 herman - close call their with that effort. As commendable as it was, it wasn''t exactly spot on.
