Slightly off topic but the pedophile Edwards is nearly always referred to as Huw in the media. Were Jimmy (Savile), Rolf (Harris), Gary (Glitter), Ian (Watkins), Stuart (Hall), Max (Clifford) etc etc ever referred to by just their first names after conviction? It’s very strange. Slightly? |

Hate it when they use different versions of names as well for players and managers. It’s never Scott Parker, always Scotty Parker. Matthew Cash of Aston Villa, Matty Cash.

Absolutely amazing how easily the slightest thing gets inside some people’s heads.

Remember our Garth on final score getting all tongue tied with Ricky van Wolfswinkel & calling him Ricky Wolf van Winkly.

So it should have been Robert Moore, Robert Charlton, Norbert Stiles, Geoffrey Hurst all managed by Alfred Ramsey? Or are you just moaning for the sake? |

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was one that rolls off the tongue.

Jodi Morris was always used in full by various commentators.

Never understood why Andy Cole suddenly wanted to be Andrew Cole Probably something to do with Handy Andy. Or Andrew Ridgely. Or someone pointed out to him that it sounded a bit like "A dick hole" when said a certain way. Actually I remember a dance tune from the 90s that sounded like (but wasn't) "Oh - Andy Cole, Oh - Andy Cole" - could have been that? Or he copied Andrew Weatherall. |

Just watching the Brighton/Man U match over here on 'Peacock', and can't avoid the 'captioning'.
Fernandes has been translated as 'You know Fernandes'.

Didn't Andy Cole said he was called Andrew all his like and wanted to be Andrew not Andy
Liverpool fans started to call John Barnes, Johnny and Firminho, Bobby which apparently they were never known by.
Why is Joelinton never called by his first name, Joe? Mr and Mrs Linton,his parents must find that odd?
