It really shouldn't be hard for someone to just ask the guy how to say his name and then for all of the journalists to say it properly.
Mind you, in the whole time Artur Boruc played in Scotland, hardly anybody bothered their arse to say his name correctly, so it's hardly a new issue.
Barry Davies would always ask either the player or a journalist from that country to help him get the names of foreign players right. It did lead to him being the only one to call the new Man United interim manager Solks-shaar-ah or something for a while, as Motty and the rest just went for Sol-shar.

Do clubs not produce media guides? Either way, it’s shameful on the part of the commentators, but hardly surprising. Pat Bonner can’t even pronounce the Scottish players’ names.

Michael Stewart playing crowdwank with Livingston fans. It’s fucking Christmas, you privileged oaf. Anyone who is travelling to a game at this time of year is worth praising.

Think it was Allan Preston and the rest of the chimps joined in. 

268 is a good turnout for us in Dundee.

Either way, know your place.

 

Ha! Actually listening to him after, it sounds like he was being genuine in his praise before the rest hopped on it thinking he was being sarcastic.

So you were probably right and I should know my place.

Bonner knows about Celtic but it’s hilarious when he tries to talk about other teams. “And yer man you know wee thigmy he’s had a shot there but it’s deflected off da big roight back, yer big fella dere, da numba tree dere and den da keeper in da broight hi-vis ting dere, he’s just given it a tremendous boot up de park, so he has, powerful stuff, so it is...”

Was listening to the commentary on the bus on Wednesday and there were a couple of times they endorsed cheating with the old 'entitled to go down' because there was 'contact' bullshit. This was Miller and Dodds and they went totally unchallenged on it.

Similarly: 'George' Albertz

Not to mention His Majesty Rudi Skacel.

It's 'Skatsel', folks, not 'Skachel'.

I suppose he had years and could have put people straight and it didn't bother him enough to do so, such is Rudi's grace and generosity. But it is weird that such a prominent player can remain for so long with nobody, absolutely nobody saying his name properly.

Weirdly, when Rudi first moved to Scotland Archie MacPherson said his name properly. But then changed to be wrong with everyone else.

His pronunciation of Jean-Claude Darcheville's surname wasn't so clever.

I hate how they talk about how 'Scottish football is back' and how 'Scottish football is in a stronger place now' etc. 

It's shitebag talk. What they really mean is that a version of the old Rangers are back. Scottish football has been strong for years though. When trophies were being shared around they actually talked it down when in reality it meant the game here was stronger than ever.

When Aberdeen were challenging for the league they never talked about a title race.

Even now when teams have the same or just under the points that Sevco do they don't include them when talking about a title race.

To them a title race is just Sevco and Celtic. But they don't have the balls to say it.

Cowardly wanks.

Glasgow bubble shocker
