Is 1-5 a thrashing ? Or is that a bit over the top ? 10:33 - Oct 15 with 2822 views

Been thinking about this in Phil's reports for a few weeks now, not that I am going to criticize his writing, but...maybe I sense a worrying theme.

I would call 3-0 a comfortable victory, 4-0 or 5-1 a comprehensive victory, 5-0 or 6-1 a drubbing, 6-0 or 7-1 and we can begin to talk about a thrashing, 7-0 or 8-1 and it begins to look like a humiliation.

9-0 is obviously a needless and undignified display by a winning team lacking in morals and full of big time charlie show ponies.

I think 5-1 is a justifiable use of thrashing… 6 and above maybe a damn good thrashing…

(just spotted I'd given you an unintentional down vote, so have cancelled that out)

5 goals and above you can start to use thrashing. Although only if it’s 5-0 or 5-1. 6 is into hammering territory. 7 and above is humiliation

depends on which team you're talking about. 1-5 is a proper beating for a pro side - for my crappy over 45s, we'd call that a great result. We've already lost 11-1 and 6-0 this season - last year, our worst loss was 18-2.

Sorry, when you say your crappy over forty fives team are you talking about the one you play for or the one you support ? (Ashley Barnes just looks that way, I think he is still under forty...)

chuckle, he resembles some of teammates, is true! Less of a belly on him to be fair.

The BBC uses the word 'thrash' or 'thrashing' for a 4-0 victory. It really winds me up!

But 10-0 is clearly the mark of a class team especially when it comes in European Competion.
But this only applies when your centre forward scores at least half of the goals.

I think anything above a three-goal margin is a thrashing, a walloping, hammering etc. Maybe not 8-4, 9-5 or 10-6 but I've not had to cover many of them.

Anything up to 3-1 is a standard beating. 4-1 is a concerning defeat, 5-1 and above is a thrashing.

5-1 can be a thrashing, depending on how dominent the other team were.

I've seen 3–0 wins described as "thrashings" before, which is odd.

I would say that a team probably needs to lose by 8+ to be "crushed".

Some of the language used for a few of our big wins in the 21st century:

Ipswich Town sealed their promotion back to the Championship in style - scoring five goals in the first 32 minutes as they thrashed Exeter City at a jubilant Portman Road.

Detailed as ever, that's put some claws into the thread...

So, 3-0 could, feasibly and dependant upon the display, be a comfortable win
4-0 or 1-5 maybe a comprehensive victory
5-0 (or even 6-1) a trouncing
6-0 or 7-1 a hammering
7-0 or 8-1 is where I would start to feel comfortable with a thrashing
8-0 or 9-1 a demolition; and
10-0 a crushing

"...a stonking 13-0 demolition..."
