Enjoy the journey! As for your question above, it's highly context-dependent.If a player from the other team has the ball and a player from your team tackles them in some way, you should yell out "Baalllll", extending this to "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll" for when it appears it may actually be holding the ball. If perchance the umpire awards a free kick to your team with a sweeping action of their outstretched arms, it is appropriate to add the suffix "Yeah", so the phrase would be "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll... yeah". Sometimes the tackle by your team will be deemed illegal, in which case phrases like "ducked into it" can be handy.However, if a player from your team has possession of the ball and is tackled the key thing is to have righteous indignation if a free kick is awarded against them. You can express your concerns over the awarding of the free kick in multiple ways (no prior opportunity, incorrect tackle (high/low/in the back), they disposed of it, or some combination of these), and if you are at the game it can best be done by pointing animatedly in the direction of where the incident occurred and yelling. On the rare occasions where the player from your team has hatched the ball so obviously that it is a free kick, you can refer to how similar occurrences were not rewarded when your team had the ball. Either way, it's important that any indignation you express is righteous.One caveat - I've been watching for over 50 years and it's not uncommon for my concerns over travesties levelled at my team by umpires to end up being revealed as good decisions under difficult circumstances a few hours after the game when you see them replayed. It's a real conundrum.Hope that helps.
