Hi Gabe, I recollect from decades ago, hearing older kids playing football saying "poskotto futtlo/ or, futtlo poskotto." Referring to the bladder in the football having burst! The place must have been Siridao, or a ground closer to Batim. My memory is quite peculiar considering that I did not grow up in Bombay, and spoke my/our limited Konkani outside Goa, and in my head. Memory!
