Any auld guys getting the new players' names wrong yet?

[tazzabear]

Everyone at Sky Sports seem to be calling Colak Cholak despite there being no H in his surname

Does that count?

That’ll be a FAIL!

 

[ItsInTheNet]

Well I got the name right but I posted a picture up of Tillman on here a few days ago thinking it was Matondo edit, thought it was Lovelace

 

[heresto55]

Andy Wanker called Tillman Tavernier

 

[Bumplittledipper]

To all you young smartarses:

40 years ago a handbook that you got when buying a car gave you instructions on how to adjust the valves. Nowadays they give a warning not to drink the battery acid.

Here endeth the lesson.

 

[Gers72]

My auld man passed away 10yrs ago but he was murder with the foreign players names. He Used to call Zurab Khizanishvili, Kishcanvilli. Fkn murder, just wanted to slap him when he got players names wrong. It’s almost if some guys get over the age of 60 they become embarrassed to say the name properly

For us guys over 60 we struggle to keep up just speeding up the conversation. We sometimes need help and patience surprised managed to live this long with all the things we do wrong

 

[rangersno.1]

The airfield one I can get because auto correct on iPhone is a bastard

 

[Arkanoid]

Someone on here said that is how his name is pronounced in his home country

It’s definitely still Dayvid Ginola though however they want to pronounce it in his home country
I remember Roddy Forsyth persisting with calling Albertz, York Albertz

 

[Thewandofpedro]

My granda used to have a nightmare with big Ugo.

We had all sorts like Ehheogoo and Eggioggi

 

[ForzaLaudrup]

That’ll be a FAIL!

Aye

That’ll be me an auld guy despite only being in my 30s

I’m off to look for stone wash jeans online & buy one of those flip cases that doubles as a wallet

[bud_light]

It was bad enough playing in the 3rd division and then folk lost even the will to use the names.
“The Greek, The Frenchman, The Brazilian”

Most just called them the donkeys

 

[Wordy_Rappinghood]

My dad is insistent on calling Colak Cokal.

 

[Trigga34]

What age do u need to be?

 

[Fourladshadadream]

Andy Walker said Tav missed a sitter and should've burst the net.

Hess meant to be sober and a expert on fitbaw.

 

[TheFantasticNinetiesFox]

Really like the look of the lad Malik Yilmaz and can’t wait to see Ridvan Tillman in action. It’s a shame wee Matunda picked up a knock so early on too.

On a side note, anyone know when to expect Morales back in the team?

 

[CamBluNoo]

For us guys over 60 we struggle to keep up just speeding up the conversation. We sometimes need help and patience surprised managed to live this long with all the things we do wrong

But I bet you can complete all the players of this team. Ritchie, Shea... -there will never be another team in our history that will be known by everyone of that era, 60 years later.

 

[Moodiesburn Blue]

I would have to say that the older generation are far from alone in this and having heard horrendous diction at the game today from the young team on player’s names I don’t think there is much room for anyone to slag anyone off.

 

[The Mols Turn]

Archie Macpherson would probably be locked up for his pronunciation of Darcheville these days..

 

[jimcornette]

At my age all I can say is thank God the shirt numbers are in white as last season I hadn't a scooby.
Everytime I see or here Tillman I think of a Cat Stevens Album.

Watch passes from the Tillman
Goals from the Buff
Tackles from big Goldson who from England did come
Ibrox sing your hearts away
'Cause while the others chase, the people play
Oh Gio, how they play and play
For Davie Vos and for big Roy Makaay!

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

Archie Macpherson’s “darkie-vee-ayyy” takes some beating.

 

[theryesider]

Can remember every player practically from early 70’s now sometimes it’s a struggle.
Also getting rid of Bassey effed up my tatooed song reminder.

 

[The Blue Iceberg]

Must admit I'm getting tired of cheeky wee wanks who should be out getting their Nat King Cole instead of swotting up on all the the new Rangers players names and then disrespecting their elders.

Grumpy auld bassa loyal.

Ritchie Shearer Provan Greig McKinnon Baxter Henderson McMillan Forrest Brand Wilson what a team Baxter had the ability to be best in the world unbelievable talent.

 

[Hawftimepie]

This OP has gave me a cracking laugh. That's aw.

 

[Loyal72]

Don't know about the new players, but there are at least 2 threads about 'Airfield' this afternoon

Airheads writing about Airfield

 

[Talktalk]

Nobody in my WhatsApp groups can spell Souttar.
Doing my head in

That’s mental A’s Soutar has been about for years

 

[JimmyBuffetloyal]

Life is too short to bother about these things.
If there is a way to corrupt any name my Da will find it.
Last week he had 'the Covis' ,so anything is possible with players names.
Let it go and have a laugh at some of their efforts.

 

[scobie1873]

Marcus De Beasley!

 

[TheSandMan]

My da is still partial to a "Tavinerr" and a "Mirellass" after all these years.

 

[Bluebeard]

Marcus De Beasley!

My old man was unbearable with this one in particular. So bad in fact that to this day I get it wrong myself because I heard so many takes on it from him. He’s now well into his 70s and it isn’t getting any better with the names.

Fifteen years ago he signed and it’s as if it was yesterday - “ he’s greased lightning that wee De Beasley” . No da his name is DaMarcus Beasley. I swear he went through the following -

“ Wee De Beasley”
“ Wee Doo Beasley”
“ Marcus Da Beasley”
“ The wee Beasley”
“ Wee Mark Beasley”
“ DuMarcus DooBeasley”
“ Mark Beasley “
“ Peter Beardsley”

I can actually feel my blood pressure going up as I post this. He basically called him everything except his actual name.

 

[Euro Scooter]

It's not an age thing, it's a lazy c*nt thing.

 

[esemsea]

Me, huvnae moved on since “Kitchenbrand”

 

[55degreesnorth]

Watched the game in the boozer with my da.

Commentator mentioned Montano getting ready to come on (to replace the boy who should've been sent off). He goes I thought Montano was injured? Is he coming on for Wright? That's fucking Matondo, da.

Then in the 2nd half Tillman was getting Tielemans, the Leicester player, from the guy next to us. And despite me answering several times, he also kept saying "I don't know where he's meant tae be playing".

Then my da rounds it off by asking the whereabouts of "wee Yarmez" or some other fucking abomination.

Game was a hard enough watch without that pish!

Snap. My old man is balloon d'or material for this. Morales obviously must be an age thing and not just confined to super.

 

[Stoorie]

Put him straight then. Tell him how much it upsets you. Tell him you had to tell FF what he’s like.
Old people like your ‘da’ should be told that they annoy you when they don’t understand something.

It’s nothing to do with age - it’s lazy ignorance.

I wasn’t born then but know that team, despite, so I’ve read, that they didn’t actually play as an eleven all that often.
Surely though, most would know our team in Barcelona in 72.

 

[temperance]

plenty of folk on FF in their 20s and 30s unable to spell our players names correctly never mind the Auld guys getting them wrong

Eventually someone gets it right.

 

[Ruben Sosa]

Some belters on here but to be fair the "Airfield" one is an autocorrect.

And on that note, I wish big Katie all the best, now that he's been told he can leave.

Reads to me like they were tag-teaming to wind you up!

My dad used to call Dado Prso, Dado Parookso or something mental.
