The Commentator

Often heard by commentators during big European, international or nighttime domestic fixtures during midweek, ‘Under the Lights’ is a term that refers to matches played under artificial floodlights. When compared to regular weekend, daytime matches, ‘Under the lights’ is used to describe the big-match feeling and excitement that accompany such matches and the bright lights and colours that are on show.

A chance so easy that missing it is inexcusable. Open goals, simple one-on-ones, headers from two yards out. When you miss a sitter, you hold your head and your teammates look at the floor. The origin of the term is said to have stemmed from Cricket, where a "sitter" would describe a very easy catch so simple that the fielder could practically "sit down" while making it.
