There's an awful lot of tosh spoken by 'experts' and puntits desperate to sound more informed than the next man. This breeds jargon.
I read the article below which blamed the knuckle ball for foxing the Celtic keeper. A ball is hit without spin yet it deviates at the last moment as though the striker has super powers.
The ball can only change direction if forces are acting in it. Modern balls are so stupidly light they will be subject to very slight forces such as a gentle breeze, or eddies from its own turbulent wake.
When would was a little kid playing with really light crappy plastic footballs, every shot we hit would he called a knuckle ball today, and we all thought we were Zico.
It's right to blame the ball, it's wrong to laud praise on the striker.
What other pseudo technicalbubbles are chatted about the game?
