Absolute sitter

[Imsriram]

What is the word "Absoluter sitter"? I heard this in a commentary.

Hi,

Could you explain the context of this remark. In other words what was the commentator talking about?

It is from football commentary I'm guessing, where someone missed an easy goal chance.

"It was an absolute sitter" means more or less that the ball was just sitting there waiting to be put into the goal, with not much effort from the player.... and he still missed.
