Junior_Arab Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 3 hours ago, Jacky1990 said: I know this is Scottish commentators/pundits so I already know the answer, but do commentators and stuff not get briefed on foreign pronunciation at the start of the season? I'm sure I've read/heard somewhere that the English commentators get a quick brief on how to properly pronounce names so they can be as accurate as possible during commentary (not helped by having dimwitted c***s like McManaman and Ferdinand obviously). Surely the Scottish commentators do similar? I’ve heard Richard Gordon say that when Celtic signed Rafael Scheidt they had to phone a BBC office somewhere that checked pronunciations of foreign names, places etc. And they were told in no uncertain terms that Scheidt was definitively, unequivocally, absolutely pronounced “Shite”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this surname on the official line ups but first name/nickname on shirt. Not everyone's conversant with all players. I think team lines would surely have to match exactly the name on a player’s registration. Which presumably has the player’s “proper” name on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'WellDel Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 2 hours ago, well again said: These fuds think her name is Taylor O swift. Can't see Taylor O' Swift being a Celtic fan tbh. Her vast wealth and the freedom it allows her to do whatever she likes sets her too far apart from 99.9% of their support who love to constantly remind us of the fact that they're all O' Pressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us nasty Protestants are oppressing them so successfully their team has won 26 of the last 39 domestic trophies. It's very hurtful. Tbf, if I was actually oppressing the whinging gits myself I'd be aiming for a higher strike rate than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
