When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

so I'm sure there are people who use up/down without a thought and probably have an oposite view to my onw. People also differ about whetehr you are going up or dow a street.
Anyway, the way I see it one team (especially when moving from defensive positions) attacking the other team's goal is moving UP the field (=going forward) whie the opposing tewm is moving DOWN to them

oh yes, as you said, "bombing" down (or up) is moving really quickly

Asker, as you can see, many agree it's not systematic as to whether 'up' or 'down' are used and they are basically interchangeable but I think there is a nuance there nevertheless. Tony's comment about higher or lower side of the pitch brings me back to the analogy I used of going up or down a street. But is there a top or bottom to a street/pitch, and if so, where is it? It's arguable:-)
