The "Rabona"

[davek]

Is this the new media sanctioned word of the season by any chance?

I heard this term loads yesterday. The divvies seem to be falling over themselves working it into a conversation about any game that's being covered.

'kin Rabona. Do people actually say use this word?

Ooh, my little pretty one, my pretty one
When you gonna give me some time, Rabona
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
Got it coming off o' the line, Rabona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up, for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, aye-aye, whoa!
M-m-m-my Rabona

Sounds rather badly yewtree, this. I say NO.

The 'experts' explain it away as a trick to confuse defenders by taking one less expected turn, or else it's an audacious demonstration of skills...

...no it isn't, it's a right footed player who's rubbish with their left foot (and vice versa) trying to dump the ball in the general direction of a team mate.

The footy media are made up of public schoolboy halfwits who've never kicked a ball...a round one anyway.

Is that a RABONA? It looks like a RABONA to me. Is it a RABONA?

I'm no expert, but it does look like he's RANOBA'D that.

The first reported rabona was performed by Ricardo Infante in a game between Argentinian teams Estudiantes de la Plata and Rosario Central in 1948

I bet he cut inside onto a weak left foot and thought: "Hola! WTF do I do with this now? I know, I'll try this..."

 

[loooweee]

Not a fan

That's exactly what it is though. As cool as it looks it essentially is saying I have a crap other foot so had to do this.

In commentary they should rightfully say: "Look, Payet's somehow fluked that one to a team mate." But the footy Industry has to flog a new idea so....

Not a new idea though mate. And it does take some skill.

That's what it means? Utter quims, ladbible BBC Text beauts who need a vicious kicking outside the Gwladys Street until they shut up and watch the game and stop making up [Poor language removed] ways of expressing it.
