We’ll probably get so fired up for the game, Rhyan Grant will be sent off for a dangerous tackle in the 8th minute where he wins the ball cleanly, but one of his leg hairs brushes the back of Barcellos’ calf, cause him to stumble violently up and over the advertising hoardings, forward roll into the Masterfoods inflated sauce bottle, which deflates onto the Mariners cannon, causing it to go off in dramatic fashion and start automatically firing.
Barcellos’momentum will carry him up and over the boundary fence, cause a multicar pile up on the Central Coast highway (causing yet more potholes) and splash down in Brisbane Water, where a stunned Bull Shark will mistake him for an old tyre from a 1980s Ford Falcon that the shark accidentally ate whilst swimming under the Rip Bridge.
20 minutes in and Brattan will be sent off for back chat to Alireza Faghani, and deemed guilty of serious unsportsmanlike behaviour for telling Faghani that its not Hey Hey Its Saturday when he goes to the moniters to inspect a potential handball that last longer than the Lord of the Ring trilogy back to back.
With 9 men yet again, We’ll somehow even the ledger through a late JK screamer,only for us to go down to 8 men, after Redmayne handles so far out of his box trying to sweeper keep, he’s actually on rhe Mt White interchange home.
We’ll concede the penalty, and the Mariners will go on to lose to Wellington in the final.
That’s a silly use of language. Given I was drunk at a party for the Macarthur game I just figured that all this inverted talk was Grant on the left and King on the right and I missed that detail. Because that’s what inverted wingers means.
If we refereed to them as the fullbacks attacking in the channels instead of the flanks I’d totally understand it! Or coming inside the forward.
When it comes to our CB’s. We have Matthews, Lacerda (maybe JGR if he can) and very much the option of JCP as well (with King as LB). Even Grant can slot in if needed with changes during the match, if we bring in De Jesus on the bench.
In a team numbered by position the fullbacks are 2 & 3 which started out as the defenders in front of the goalkeeper. They were pushed slightly wide by the dropping of the number 5 from centrehalf to the centre of defence and pushed to the flanks by the number 4 dropping from right mid to RCB.
The fullbacks retained their name and the centrehalf and and right half changed their names to centrebacks. Although the use of the term centrehalf in place of centerback is not uncommon. This is a reflection of wear the number started from.
You compare that to taking a term like inverted which when used with wingers means a specific tactical ploy with inverted fullbacks which now means another, completely different tactical term and you have room for that being a bit of a silly use of language.
When the “centre half back” went back, they should have become the “centre full back”. Retaining the term “full back” to describe wide defenders who often bomb forward, while other defenders and even midfielders stay back behind them, is incredibly silly.
Meanwhile, “Inverted” makes perfect sense and is logically coherent. An “inverted winger” comes inside from a nominally wide position and joins the #9 a half-line ahead of them. An “inverted full-back” comes inside from a nominally wide position and joins the #6 a half-line ahead of them.
No. Not exactly. It’s completely logical and rational. There is a reason why the name exists.
There is no logical or rational reason for calling a fullback or comes inside to the channel to be called an inverted fullback. It suggests that a right sided fullback is being played on the left side and a left sided fullback is being played on the right.
A fullback is a position that got moved wide and a centrehalf is a position that got moved back. And it is connected to numbers representing positions instead of players.
And inverted winger plays on the left instead of the right, or the right instead of the left.
If inverted means, as you are suggesting that it is a winger who cuts inside than one of is confused as fuck and we have a bigger misuse of terms than the infamous wingback problem.
To my understanding, Joe Lolly is an inverted winger because he is a left footed played playing on the right side.
Holy fuck, I just had a google. “Inverted Wingers” is a completely fucked up term that does not mean what it suggests. It is someone that cuts inside. That’s is fucking ridiculous naming.
