'unplayable' is fair usage tbqh

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:07 (1 year ago) Permalink

the one i hate the most of late is people saying "unplayable" to describe a player who is so on form that you can't credibly compete against him. feels more common lately.

this is pretty bad, think it has a lot to do with drogba

no i wouldn't have slated hoy hoy, i actually believe my further argument in this case, hence why i don't think there was any great disagreement with number none.

i just think it was fairly pedantic even by ilx standards, not a big deal.

there are times when drogba does look like hes impossible to contain and the term sort of makes sense

most of those times involve william gallas tho

to me "unplayable" is wrong just because it's a negative term, like the match was "unplayable" due to adverse weather conditions. or he's "unplayable" due to an injury or something. it's passive, the thing it describes cannot be played, surely? for a player to be "unplayable" surely that would mean he was suspended or injured or shit? it's a really ugly word anyway...

syntactically it means play is transitive wrt to players, players can be played like for example if torres rapes vidic then it means vidic has been 'played'

yeah i guess in the modern sense of "play or get played" it does mean something, not sure your andy townsends are invoking this though.

messi is pretty unplayable.

I haven't heard "meat and drink" (or variants e.g. "food and drink") so much lately, which is meat and drink to me

iirc "unplayable" came from Triple H of WWE and the lyrics of his theme song "The Game" by Motorhead

Penny for AVB's thoughts after that show of guts and character from Chelsea. Some of the old unplayable Drogba there tonight.

Many would have paid more than a penny for the thoughts of Villas-Boas if he was watching this game while the wounds heal from his sacking. He may have wondered how he could have failed so spectacularly to coax a performance on this scale from Chelsea during his nine months at the club.

nice to know he successfully refashions his twitter insights on the big stage, nult is unplayable at the business end of things

i may be misunderstanding youse leadig lights- it is my steez tbf- but i think the 'play' in playable (or otherwise) simply refers to 'having as opposition'. 'we're playing x next week', sort of thing. 'unplayable' just hyperbolises the concept of the difficulty of doing this with drogbascent opposition.

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

The key figures were Drogba, Terry and the indefatigable Lampard.

indefattiable more like amirite

I guess darragh, just unplayable surely used to describe waterlogged pitches or whatever.,,

― I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:52 (1 year ago) Permalink

has it been used in like cricket or something like a really good delivery?

― Rosie 47 (ken c), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah i know, but we've just got to allow this one uncertainty into our vernacular, we've got to take on the challenge of deciding whether the word refers to a cresting beast mix of power, pace and technique like drogba or whether it refers to a lumpy, cut-up, soggy mess that the ball seems to come off at unlikely angles like luke chadwick

― diafiyhm (darraghmac), Wednesday, 18 April 2012 13:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

naturally I also dislike 'unplayable'

I have a bit of an instinct that it really needs a dulling preposition beside it, like 'against' - a bit 'unlistenable [to]'
but I think I may even be wrong about that.

“John Terry for me is the best defender technically I’ve ever seen. I used to say to him: come out with the ball.

"But English football always encouraged him to be more aggressive, play on his power and determination. We should have tapped into his technical ability. He could control a game in same way Beckenbauer could. But that wasn’t the English way.”
