Correct but in English we don't translate the names of footballers, we do translate the names of countries. Nicolas Milanović isn't called Nicholas Millanovitch in English, but Hrvatska is called Croatia in English.

You get that with some virtue signalling commentators who use the endonym and the native reaction is it's just weird in English and they needn't bother.

I’ve honestly never heard a commentator say Hrvatska before in English. But yeah that would sound cringe. But spelling things right isn't.

Anyway.

Think Olympics or sports commentator by Channel 9 who have no idea about it. Was it Mark Taylor commentating diving at the Olympics.

If Boro keep farting around they could drop to fourth.

So tight in the race for the playoffs too. For example Derby are 14th but only six points outside the playoffs.

In the relegation zone Wednesday are fucked and could be the worst Championship team ever (the lowest points total in history in the Championship is 23 for Rotherham in 2016–17; the Owls currently have –7 due to points deductions). Wolves could also be the worst Prem team ever, they still only have three points (three draws, no wins) coming into 2026 (Derby have the worst total in history with 11 in 2007–08 followed by Southampton with 12 in 2024–25).

I've just got English German keyboards.

How lucky those aboriginal places with stadiums or studios get the naming rights. I suppose we do it with some suburbs too. All a bit ridiculous in the end. They're fighting a losing battle because you can be sure that new migrant groups to Australia couldn't give a shit about any of this. Aboriginal culture will disappear.

You probably need to get out of the city if you think Aboriginal culture will disappear.

I guess aboriginal communities are larger outside metropolitan areas. I remember seeing a massive tour group from SA in Adelaide and it was great to see them engaging in their projects then returning to their communities to implement positive policy.

Go to a high migrant community and tell them it's aboriginal land. They won't know what it means and they'll laugh at it. I wish it weren't the case but Chinese, Indians and other groups couldn't give two hoots while those raised here hope to maintain some kind of relevance and prevelance before it truly dies off.

So many matches the last few days with some big rises and dips. Boro starting to exhaust their insurance policy.
 
Jake Chapman is 25? Thought he was 20. Looked promising for a bit. Our League 1 keepers are all stuffed for now.

Hope Watford can kick on a bit more. Only 2 weeks ago they were describing as trotting alone.

League 1 has 9 place 3 points from safety I heard.

Id expect mcgree and irankunda to get plenty of game time

I'm talking about culture not place names. Though using place names is an easy way to show some respect imo. The culture won't die off. It's still strong. Take it from someone who's been fortunate enough to have experienced it in the Torres Strait, Cape York, the Gulf and Wet Tropics. It's actually a really ignorant comment. I don't think you mean it to be.

Probably a discussion for a different thread though.

It's been a horrible season for our fringe keepers. Chapman, Bilokapic, Maynard-Brewer not even making benches. Gaucis not starting. Glover has ended up in J2. Terrible season for them all.

The standard of our keepers has really alarmed the fa

The one keeper we have with elite potential, dpc, is rotting on the pine during a crucial period of development behind redmayne..needs a midseason transfer to a club unhappy with keepers

I mean that's so bad isn't it. Redmayne isn't better than Peraic-Cullen. CCM usually get these things right but that's bad. I'd have Peraic-Cullen at Victory over Duncan.

It makes the loss of Pavlesic worse doesn't it. Hopefully Beach and Hall kick on.

Yes I thought it was in reference to culture. I have no doubts it's stronger outside the cities and that's already where we're at in regards to awareness. The indigenous are "far away out there'.

I'm referring to more metropolitan regions where I anticipate councils to slowly faze out a lot of the indigenous focus as their communities and representatives change and they demand more or their own things.

Enjoy Redmayne in the game but me how the next gen get hindered.

I was a fan of Cam Cook but he has also plateaued and bloody Oli Sail got the nod ahead.

I guess if Gauci could come in and survive Japan away like that we should be ok having just one keeper.

New year, same Steven Hall playing against kids? Get a loan even to the 6th tier like AMB.
