When did adding ball to the end of a managers name become a thing?

[WinkieWATP]

We have Beilsa Ball, Ange ball and yesterday during the commentary of the Wolves game they said it will take the players some time to get used to Bruno Ball.

From everything I’ve seen of Wolves so far Bruno Ball is absolutely shite.

 

[Yorkhill_True_Blues]

Its a wanking thing used by wankers.

 

[Madjid Moments]

It’s just a saying short for can’t defend for shite!

 

[Davie2021]

Just another to add to the list of truly sickening modern woke garbage we need to put up with in life . Sick of it and it’s only getting worse

 

[GourockBlue50]

It's a grasping at straws thing.

 

[Thedesolateone]

Bobby Ball will be spinning in his grave at all this.

Woke garbage? Ok Davie. How's the garden?

It's just a wanky term created by wee West end type pricks.

 

[Old man of Hoy]

Last time I'd heard it was 1998 when Alan managed Pompey

 

[WDYGH]

Has Stefan Kuntz ever gone into management?

 

[Davie2021]

Woke garbage? Ok Davie. How's the garden?

It's just a wanky term created by wee West end type pricks.

Agreed people with beards who drink craft beer and wear checked shirts

 

[GazzaG]

Is Alan Stubbs still in football management?

 

[Brian_Fantana]

It’s a real ballgate type scandal

 

[Leo_Ger]

If Michael Ball becomes a manager then they'll find themselves in a Watergate-gate situation.

Imagine he'll just stick to singing and radio in any case.

 

[Est1872]

Imagine Michael Ball became a manager

Edit: Leo_Ger faster with his fingers

 

[alex wright]

I think it’s a play on Moneyball the book/film about Billy Beane.

 

[Theportyunionjack]

Surely it's taking p.iss?

 

[The Golden God]

It’s just a saying short for can’t defend for shite!

This is accurate.

There is a direct correlation between "insert managers name ball" and defending like an under 12s girls team.

 

[The Royal Standard]

It’s a cunts expression

Must be an age thing. I was thinking about Rangers Michael Ball.

 

[Davie2021]

If wee Beale takes over from Gerrard eventually we will be subjected to “ Beale-ball” . I long for the 1980s again when people were normal . Society now is codswallop and sickens me

 

[Angus Og]

Hitler only had one ball.
The other was in the Albert Hall.

Himmler was very similar.

 

[GazzaG]

What if Campbell Money became a manager?

That's how a lot of people would describe your posts on our songbook.

 

[theytriedtokillus]

Get it back to normal and get Georgia may Foote in charge.

 

[strider]

The first manager I heard it being applied to was Sarri. Don't know for certain if that was the first example of it though.

 

[AdiCR2]

When he’s sacked by Christmas it’ll be the bears that are using it as a wind up.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

What if Campbell Money became a manager?

He was manager in the Juniors

 

[Davie2021]

Bother you does it , people telling the truth ? Tough

Feck all to do with us bohemian west enders, its created by poncey gimps analysing games in an attempt to sound like they are bringing something new to show.

 

[blue barney]

Hitler only had one ball.
The other was in the Albert Hall.

Himmler was very similar

And Herman Goering had no balls at all

 

[Devil's Advocate]

Lol we would have Ger-ball. Squeky bum time aplenty.

I'll get my coat.

 

[Cyberniv]

Alan BallBall.
When he spoke you wondered if they'd dropped yet.

 

[kingboyd1]

This. Close thread

 

[Kowloon72]

It doesn't, no. I tend to agree with you on the party tunes in the stadium.

I'm pointing out the irony in one of the most vocal critics of our songbook decrying anything as woke and literally pining for the 1980s.

My understanding was it was in the Kelvin Hall, but happy to be corrected.

 

[20rangersultras07]

remember being at Everton v Chelsea a few years back and the Chelsea fans singing ‘f*ck sarriball’ fist time I’d ever heard of the saying

 

[CaptainHolt]

Why do people get so upset at words people use to describe things?

 

[Rab_bear]

Celtc created it when the signed Rafael Scheidt. Plenty of Shite ball followed

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Has Stefan Kuntz ever gone into management?

About to become the Turkey manager.

 

[Sandy76]

Agreed people with beards who drink craft beer and wear checked shirts

Anyone seen my checked shirt???
2 out of 3 ain't bad.

 

[GazzaG]

He was manager in the Juniors

Junior MoneyBall.

Could be a board game.

 

[ao2]

It's toe curling in its embarrassment, same as TLB being called "Lenny" and SG "Gerro". The MSM seem to be aiming at a 12 year old audience these days.

 

[Pennine Walk]

I still don't know what that Ange ball shite is all about.

 

[Gary Mitchell]

Ffs Jakeball used to be a pelter.

 

[GazzaG]

If Michael Ball becomes a manager then they'll find themselves in a Watergate-gate situation.

[evo14]

Or Raphael Scheidt.

I just don’t see the correlation at all . I’m talking through rose tinted shades about general standards and pre social media PC madness , when common sense largely prevailed . It doesn’t mean everything was perfect back in the day , we all know that not too be the case in real terms surely

 

[DeeCeeTee]

Up there with adding -gate to any scandal.

Watergate wasn’t about water.

 

[mdingwall]

Alan Ball.

West end type. Not all West Ender's are poncey gimps but you know who I mean. The uni accent Ashton lane drinks with the chaps type cunts.
