When did they start calling CSKA Moscow "Seska"?

[Hibbyradge]

CSKA = Seska

I understand why, but I've never heard them called that before.

[hibee1875]

Had to turn the game off as it was annoying me.

[Juniper Greens]

Noticed it earlier this season. Turned it off too

[The 90+2]

About 5 years ago.

Mandela affect...:)

This is similar to the one I was thinking about the other day. When did The Nou Camp become The Camp Nou

When people realised it was actually Spanish, and the adjective comes after the noun

[brianmc]

To answer the OP , I remember the team formerly known as Glasgow Rangers playing CSKA possibly in the late 90's and some pundits referring to SisKa back then.

About the same time that Aidjax became Ayax.

Ahem..... Catalan for new field which was the imaginative name they gave their new pitch when they moved there.

[Saturday Boy]

I hope that Brexit teaches those pesky foreigners to speak English,


Or something

I have only known it as Nou Camp until it changes one day

Oh and I have always said Ayax!

[brianmc]

I think, for people of a certain age in this country, the pronunciation of the team from Amsterdam was influenced by a well known cleaning product!
For younger viewers... There used to be a well known kitchen/bathroom cleaning product in the UK called Ajax (Ai-Jax).
I'm fairly sure this is why commentators called the Amsterdam club Eye-ax...... Despite the fact any Dutchman I've heard pronounces it Ai-Jax 🤔

Also noticeable that AEK Athens are now "...ike" rather than "...ay-ee-kay"

I thought they were always ike?



Anyway, what harm does it do if more people know exactly what you mean?

Seen a lot about ‘Glasgow Rangers’ but remember having an email exchange with the guy who ran the local ‘ Glasgow Rangers’ supporters site, in 2000, asking how he could get the name wrong as the club were (even then); officially known as ‘The Rangers’

Got a well thought out reply along the lines of.’..well, technically you are right, but the Rangers play in Glasgow,so........’

I'm (reasonably) sure that the name they had printed on their match tickets was Glasgow rangers football club plc....
Wrongly naming clubs is very common all over Europe though. In the UK we regularly say Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, AC Milan, Athletico Bilbao etc etc

Whilst pre match at Old Trafford visiting European teams players often refer to the challenge Manchester will pose!

When Bayern stopped Munchen on the Sebija oranges.

I still think Hibs are way cooler when called "Eebz" in the style of Franck Sauzee.

Way cooler than his pronunciation of Hearts.

Why do we say/spell Seville when the locals spell Sevilla/say Sebija(ish)? I know I come from Edinburgh and they insist its Edimbourg. Somethings lost in translation I think

[BILLYHIBS]

There is a guy stands behind me in the West “Celica! Celica! You come and sit beside me! “ 😂

The first time I heard them called “ike” (more like “ah-ek” really) was from a Greek AEK fan shortly after we played them.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Also, should it not be Bavaria Munich, or Bayern Munchen?

Why do we only translate half their name?!
