Honestly never heard it used in that way. Usually when the commentators say a side is going direct they bring a big lump on and whack it long.Red_Army wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2019 2:36 pmNope, not at all. Direct football is fast paced football where the ball is moved quickly forwards. Long ball football is when the ball is moved from back to front quickly using a target man, usually.gshaw wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2019 2:02 pmGenerally interchanged terms meaning the same thing, route one front to back and at lower levels that is hoofball as defenders don't have the accuracy to play 60 yard balls onto a pinpoint spot.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2019 1:48 pm
