tonychang Posted June 7, 2002 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 in the dictionary it refers to rhythm,time,swing,timing interval,beat,spacing.this suggests it refers to music so how does it refer to football. p.s. why is a goal called a door?

Guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Possibly refers to the tempo with which the teams play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Maybe a goal is called a door because it (pratu)is also a gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Since you first mentioned I keep hearing it.My football translation squad tell me it means "ready for shoot" I think it refers to a player in space in a scoring position. (Probably applies to a few on this board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Nice one. Reminds me of that John Cooper Clarke (Mancunian 'Punk' Poet) couplet; 'He makes love like a footballer ? He dribbles before he shoots...' j (score and roar. . .) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trotsky2 Posted July 16, 2002 Report Share Posted July 16, 2002 Although the cup is over, when i was watching my impression and the translation given to me was that the phrase means the player has a good opportunity to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
