It goes to intent. If you’ve drawn it up for a player to make a run through the box and leave the pass for a player running backpost it is a dummy run. The run pulls the attention of the defenders and opens space in behind. That said, the interviewer had no idea what any of this means

Treble is three trophies, correct (so technically, three domestic trophies would count or three trophies could count). But unless it's the UCL, League Title and Major Domestic Cup, I wouldn't be going around claiming my team won the "treble" (and I'd say majority of fans would think the same).

Indeed. Apropos of nothing, mis-use of "bottled it" took me out of an episode of 'The Boys' way more than Karl Urban's "Cockney" accent ever did. Maybe the meaning is drifting in some parts/among younger people.

[@jasondalton1980]

It derives from the phrase 'he's lost his bottle' ,meaning the courage and ability to do something, especially under pressure, has gone. That's where bottled it comes from, not from fans chucking beer bottles. bloody seppos! lol

[@mark314158]

@@jasondalton1980 Bottle was 19th Century slang for courage or nerve.

[@Beaveski]

ive seen a couple sources say it could come from the cockney rhyming slang of "bottle and glass" meaning "arse" and so 'to lose your bottle' is literally to lose control of your arse and shit yourself because you are so scared. eventually over the years its been shortened from 'lost your bottle' to just "bottled it"

There are few definitions of Treble. A domestic treble is winning all of the national competitions the League Cup, FA Cup and League A European treble is winning the FA Cup (the higher of the two domestic cups), the League and the Champions League There are minor variants by winning any three competitions also, Side note: England and Scotland are the only countries that can have domestic trebles, because they have the league and two domestic cup competitions, other countries only have one domestic cup competition

[@snowdenwyatt6276]

I wonder if the whole "bottle" thing originated with football. I've become familiar with the general term through various British shows I've watched over the years where "bottle" relates to having the guts or competence to do something: "you've lost your bottle" (lost your courage) or "you've bottled it" (screwed it up). One of the many reasons I've watched BBC shows with the subtitles on...

[@caseyquirke9903]

I'm English and I've just discovered the origin in football, my assumption is that we then used it in these situations too, I doubt we were saying it them ways pre early 1900s. I could be wrong but that's my gut reaction

That's not where the term 'bottled it' comes from. It comes from the rhyming slang 'bottle and glass' meaning arse (or ass) So if someone's bottle goes, or they have no bottle, or they bottle it, it basically means they've s*** themselves and it applies to many different scenarios (shying away from a fight in particular) and isn't just limited to football.

[@oscarramage95]

[@shahzadirani]

Winning 3 trophies in a season is great but the proper meaning of a TREBLE is when a team wins their League title (example Premier League or La Liga), the highest cup competition in their country (FA Cup in England or Copa Del Rey in Spain) and the Champions League/European Cup in the Same season. Examples are Manchester United in 1999, Inter Milan 2010, and Bayern Munich 2013.

[@phoenixfire6559]

A treble is winning any three competitions. Your definition is of a continental treble as oppose to a domestic treble.

[@shahzadirani]

@@phoenixfire6559 agreed but when the term was first used in football, it was because of THE Treble (the three main/big trophies) won by Man United in 1999. For example even if United won the EFL Cup, Europa League, and FA Cup this season, fans would have called it just winning 3 trophies (or joke that we’ve won the Mickey Mouse treble). A Treble winning season is winning the 3 main trophies.

[@thingswelike]

Yeah - I thought that was cricket - a slow bowl along the ground

[@GeezehV]

a daisy cutter is a low highpowered shot with no spin (so low and powerful it would cut the heads of daisies in a field) A pea roller is a low rolling shot or pass. the difference being the power.

[@phoenixfire6559]

As Tom said, they're completely different shots. A daisy cutter is actually a good shot. Its as the ball travels to the goal, it travels just above the ground (literally a few cm above i.e. the level of a daisy). To maintain such a level, the ball is usually struck pretty hard and basically rockets in without touching the ground but being very close. A pea roller is a very weak or tame shot that rolls along the ground and just gets to the goal. So you can see the daisy cutter does not touch the ground and is hit hard versus a pea roller which can/ does touch the ground and hit tamely. Both terms are rarely used by commentators these days.

Like "aluminum" in the sense of "That's just how they say it" but _different_ in the sense that "aluminum" and "aluminium" are two different words for the same thing, not just different pronunciations of one word. "Fun" fact: Humphrey Davy initially called it "alumium" then quickly changed it to "aluminum" - so the US way was actually what its discoverer called it FWIW. Later on that same year in the UK the consensus among book/magazine editors etc. became to change it to "aluminium" to make it more consistent with other elements (like lithium, sodium, potassium etc.) so we switched whereas the US just stuck with "aluminum".
