When did they start calling CSKA Moscow "Seska"?

[Hibbyradge]

CSKA = Seska

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

[hibee1875]

:confused: 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.

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


:wink:

[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


😱😱

Ehm... ehm... Catalan, that's obviously what I meant to write

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

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?

Meelan, Serie Aaah, Seveeyah, Reeyaal, Hoo-vay... I even have a hipster mate recently talk about Serie Che instead of C. The ****.

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 did Seville become " Sebija" ?

And why?

[CropleyWasGod]

When did Seville become " Sebija" ?

And why?When Bayern stopped Munchen on the Sebija oranges.

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

[CropleyWasGod]

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

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

That's how the Russians say it

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?!

[Bristolhibby]

So we are all going to start using Munchen instead of Munich, Paree instead of Paris, Hrvatska instead of Croatia, Oporto instead of Porto.

I get that we are trying to use the local words, but why only some?

[malcolm]

I always wondered why we never hear ‘Bavaria Munich’ but folk say ‘Bayern Munich’ whereas the team is called ‘FC Bayern Munchen’ :confused:

[JXM73]

It all started when ibeefa became hip...

[J-C]

Nestles became Nest Lay over night, suddenly IKEA (eye key ah) is now seemingly pronounced (Ik eh ah)

[calumhibee1]

You mean E-Beats-ah?

Fk Crezena Zvezda seem to get a place in CL instead of Red Star, according to Livescore.

Dukla Prague better still be Dukla Prague or it'll ruin a good away kit.

Going by the precedents set on this thread it’s Dukla Praha.

I think you'll find they're called Bayern München.

I think it's just the commentators catching up with the fans after about 100 years.

[BullsCloseHibs]

Same as Red Star Belgrade, they're called by another name now. Weird.

They are still called that however the current team is s---e in comparison to the auld Dukla. No support either.
