Never, ever use that word on here again!Modern football at its best
I learnt all the best words at football back in the 1970's
Never did me any harm. Load of soft ****s about now who shouldn't even be at a soccer game. Thankfully a lot of them wont be when we get back home
Never, ever use that word on here again!
S*CCER
IT'S FOOTBALL, FOR FUCKS SAKE!
"Soccer" has been in use in England for a century at least.
Rugby football - rugger.
Association football - soccer.
I'll grant that it's a posh/establishment term, but there's no reason a self-respecting Brit can't use it.
Edit: To keep on topic, I will fight anyone who disagrees.
You play it with your feet, therefore football.
This is as diplomatic as I can be without upsetting a load of Americans again tbh.
I don't know about that historical angle tbh, but I can pretty much guarantee that most people take issue with the term because it's viewed as "American". Never mind that it's actually a handy name when it comes to differentiating between different rule codes for various forms of football (Association, Rugby, Aussie Rules, Gaelic, American are the ones I can think of - are there more?).Didn't Posh twats used to use the word as a way to look down on the working class, to belittle their sport. I think that's why a lot of people take issue with it.
Really?It's pretty much only insecure Brits who get their knickers in a twist about this tbh.
Really?
We're THFC not THSC.
End of.
I don't think its really anything out of the ordinary, there's easily a bunch in here that I would have no problem beating the shit out of. I'm not your friend because you support Spurs. We have an affiliation, that's it.
