So it could have been higher. Those were the days, when it could have been true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in your opinion as you have seen more of him than me but from the outside it seems as if his skill set could be better moulded here. Firstly, and most importantly let’s stop with this quarter back position.. We do not need americanisms in our sport, as we don’t want it being called soccer!! I’ve seen very few matches of O’Hare, but what I have seen has absolutely no indication he would make a good deep lying playmaker. He is a harrower, putting people under pressure forcing mistakes. When in possession he looks to make quick passes, little one twos moving into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 'soccer' is an americanism? I thought that 'soccer' and 'rugger' originated in the UK in the 1870's - slang terms referencing Association football and Rugby football.

MaVilla Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I know this is off point as it's the ohare thread, but really Americanism used to he something most people looked up to, especially in times gone by, broadly speaking these days when anyone discusses American culture it's with general disdain, pity really. Of course our culture is also on a downward spiral I think, seems to be a general thing not just in America.

Yes, that's true today. That still doesn't make 'soccer' an americanism. It's a term of British origin. The terms 'soccer' and 'rugger' were coined at Oxford in the 1870s in order to differentiate betweeen Association football and Rugby football. And I believe you'll find that 'soccer' was used in the UK in common parlance even after WWI. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. No doubt we'll have some who see it as some form of bullying. Or, if Callum doesn't make it in his career he'll sue the rest of the team 10 years from now. Such is our world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
