    Insipid. It seems the football commentary world has scoured the thesaurus once again and come up with this little gem - it's THE word of season 2011. I wouldn't mind getting a comprehensive list of the most overused words and/or sayings in our great game... so if you're up and about, in and under or just into taking a good hard look at yourself, perhaps you could post some of them here for all and sundry to see.

    A word that I frequently use will now get me a $240.00 fine.

    The word on everyones lips when they show a reaction shot on Tv after a missed goal. Love it! Especially when it's your team. Gets down to a base level and everyone from the pope to the peasant feels it.

    Sub/Substitute.

    The first 6 weeks of the season was spent debating the sub rule.

    LOL so true

    The only supersub at the moment is Jamie Cripps.. 3 times started as the sub and 3 times kicked a goal within 2 minutes of coming on.. the quickest being 25secs!!! (also 7 goals in 4 games being a sub in every game) But unfortunatley he is now out for the year...

    Dont forget Dempster Thunda.... Rossy loves saying Sean plays a role for us! fits right in with the Kosi/Hawkins mould, although played his one good game for the year last week

    On the same theme as Woody above, I think you can also add:

    'career defining' or 'season defining'
