He may be Scottish, but that's no excuse for the Telegraph's football writer, Sandy Macaskill, nor for his editors. His report on Sundays's match between Aston Villa and Everton included this howler:
"If Dunne and Warnock were crucial as the game wore on (as was Collins) it was Young's inclusion which paid off first, when Marouane Fellaini miss-controlled a pass in the ninth minute, the ball flicking to Ashley Young in what the rugby buffs term the pocket."
Please, Macca, no rugby – stick to football, if you have to … and bookmarkKicktionary .

They definitely need a sub & the tooter the sweeter, I say.....
Scots is a language (or some would say a dialect); Scotch is a magnificent drink; Scottish is an adverb. And to miss-control means to keep your woman in order, doesn't it?
