Professionalism and Experience are euphemisms used to justify cynical, negative play. Summarisers (especially those who were no-nonsense players in their own careers, such as Andy Townsend) will remark that a player has ‘shown a bit of professionalism’ or ‘used all his experience’ when he does one of the following: - Prevents a free-kick from being taken quickly by kicking the ball away, holding onto it, or hiding it somewhere and telling the referee ‘seriously, I don’t know where it’s got to’. - Administers a severe blow to an opponent’s ribs during a scramble after a corner.
