Can’t work out what outrages me more: that terrible offering from Stockport or the use of the word “footy”.

Blimey, a lot of things in the UK and world enrage me at present but the use of ‘footy’ is way down the list! Besides, it’s what we always said growing up in Scunny if we were planning a kick about or off to the OSG, so not gonna be changing now! Merry Christmas to you too 😘

Lest we forget ‘piegate’!

Soccer has only become used more widely as a term to describe football ( footy ) because they call that oval shaped ball carrying game that they play dressed in body padding and helmets in America ” football “. Football came about because it’s a game primarily played with the feet, how American football can be described as such has always amused me but of course when America says something the rest of the world seem to obligingly fall into line. Personally I think when Americans refer to football as soccer during discussions or during commentary they should be told to either call the game football or shut TFUp. Button it Yanks. 😂

‘Soccer’ is never fine, in any way shape or form.

Me and ‘our kid’ were always telling ‘me mum’ that we were off to play ‘footie.’If I’d said off to play’soccer’there would have been raised eyebrows … then scornful laughter … and then, maybe, violence.

Been playing it, watching it and suffering for it for over 60 years. Never has been and never will be soccer.

JI would probably have been forced to lick the road clean with his tongue after working a 25 hour shift darn pit.

Togger was knocking about when I was a kid in the sixties and we used it occasionally but when my mates came round it was usually ” are you coming out for a game of footie ” or even ” a kick about “. Honestly, hardly ever heard football referred too as soccer, must be an age thing but I know the Yanks always use it, that’s enough for me to rule it out.

Scran is much more offensive than footy surely?

Which is the more appropriate term, ” soccer thug ” or ” football hooligan “?
Is it “Millwall fan”?
