It was called the Coca Cola Cup by Pardew last season i still call it the league cup. everyone knows what you're talking about unlike keeping up with the latest sponsor which can be mistaken for one of those comps only for the lower leagues.

RR15 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Does anyone know when that clapping rhythm started? You know which one I mean on matchdays, can remember it since I was a bairn, just wondering if anyone knows anything else about it, the history of the clap, etc?

NG32 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Why is the manager actually called gaffer? Isn't that the guy doing the lighting on film and theater? Gets used across all sorts of lines of work to describe a boss or gov. In colloquial British English gaffer means a foreman, and is used as a synonym for "boss". In the UK, the term is also commonly used to refer to sports coaches (football, rugby, etc.). The term is also sometimes used colloquially to refer to an old man, an elderly rustic. The word is probably a shortening of "godfather", with "ga" from association with "grandfather". The female equivalent was "gammer", which came to colloquially refer to an old lady or gossip.[2] In 16th century English a "gaffer" was a man who was the head of any organized group of labourers.

joeyt Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Always thought it started for Luque Do goalkeepers have to choose one side r the other for goal kicks?

Belfast Mags Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Could an outfield player choose #1 if it wasn't taken or wanted by the keeper/s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Realist Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Could an outfield player choose #1 if it wasn't taken or wanted by the keeper/s? Interesting. I can't imagine the convention being broken up but in Great Britain yes, in Spain no, if all three keeper positions are used on a roster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squad_number_%28association_football%29#In_club_football In the Spanish La Liga players in the A-squad (maximum 25 players, including a maximum of three goalkeepers) must wear a number between 1–25. Goalkeepers must wear either 1, 13 or 25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
