For this week’s football phrase we’ll explain one of our favourites – top bin/top bins, a phrase that describes a shot, or more correctly where the shot ends up or finishes. If a player strikes the ball with power and it flies into one of the top corners of the goal, you can say he or she put it in the top bin. An excellent example was Dominic Solanke, the Liverpool youngster’s effort against Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend ( 13 May 2018), when he smashed the ball fiercely into the top right-hand corner – he smashed it into the top bin! This is an extremely casual phrase – a kind of slang, – which you won’t often see written in a football report; definitely one for fans talking about a great goal. Some fans also like to call this part of the goal the ‘ postage stamp‘ as it is like the top corner of a letter.
