PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[GortonBlue62]

No, there was a mag right up to the 70s called, iirc, Soccer Monthly.

Probably went out of business 50 years ago because nobody wanted to buy a mag with that outdated title.

I hope the 0.01% of football fans who didn't know that, will overlook your patronising tone and just be grateful for the new information.

For the last century or so, it's been de rigeur over here to regard anyone who uses the word 'soccer' as a complete arsehole. Right?

I remember soccer being quite widely used in the 70s/80s in England. There was “Granada Soccer Night” and “Soccer Six” on telly, and magazines and annuals with it in the title.

Did the socceroos dominate the Ashes or something at that time?

It used to be the case that competing businesses objected to planning or licensing and were successful. So an off licence would object to another shop applying for a license, saying there was no need for it. Often, they would win and block a competitor. Bonkers.

That's not planning law. Nor licensing unless the council thinks the market may be saturated.

I know it’s de rigeur to say the word “soccer” as a denigration of American Soccer, but you do know it was the original nickname of the sport in England first, right?

It’s a truncated form of Association Football from when Rugby Football was the name of that sport. Once Rugby Football became simply Rugby, Association Football became just Football…but it had been called soccer until then.

Apologies, I was too subtle and I think you misunderstood as a result, my point was more about listing a football business in New York.....I assumed there was the potential for investor confusion as football in America isn't soccer.

Anyway, no worries.

My reference was not about now, but years ago. But even currently the amount of shelving given over to alcohol in a large shop is subject to planning. If a shop changes that, it needs planning permission amazingly.

Do we have some “115/6 Made Redundant” posters made, as well?

Maybe in Didsbury when the tennis courts were full and you had to play the round ball game.

In Gorton it was always football and always will be.

The word soccer only still exists for our American cousins. I write software for the virtual gaming market, our American products are relabelled 'soccer' but for the rest of the world it's football.

Just checked on the OS, still says Manchester City Football Club.

It's soccer in Ireland because we have Geaelic Football. I presume it's the same in Australia. So it's not just the Americans.

"Football better than soccer" = "Liverpool - it means more" imo. Corporate generated fantasy bullshit dreamed up dickheads in the media since the PL was formed imo.

It's a sport to play. The people playing can call it what they want. The rest of us are just hangers on.

This wasn’t Didsbury mate. It was England in the past. Soccer was widely used as a nickname for the game. I’ve given examples which you conveniently ignored so here’s a few more for you to ignore.

I’ve never heard a single person in this country use the word soccer in real life.

Thing that winds me up with Yanks and football.
It's not there national sport that's rugby with shoulder pads and rounders.
So don't fuck about with football.
It's not soccer and never will be

Didsbury tennis courts were the source of balls for dog fetch then lost balls, the staple for playground games and football in Wythenshawe.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

The bored close season arguments about nothing. No news on the topic title then? I was hoping they might have bad news to bury in an Ex American President assassination attempt or is Soccer an acceptable term to refer to football whilst playing tennis in Disbury.
