@saintKlopp 1953. How were you then?.

 

Fine thanks.

 

I only knew about this in my Geography class.

 

Was the renaming of that city really that recent?


cool.

 

Yes. The other name is in the bible.

 

Me too. I'm just playing the game. I could have gone the whole hog and claimed to remember when it was Byzantium.
As far as I'm aware, the Turks stopped using the old name some time in the 20's when Ataturk began his programme of modernisation of the country.
I don't know where you got 1953 from.

 

Earlier I think. See above.
I know how much you love music so...

 

do you remember reading about that one in the paper at the time?

 

Do you remember that joke when we were young - Constantinople is a very long word please spell it?

 

Aye.










Tea.

 

Very good

 

.t is an Arabic calqued form of Constantinople, with an Arabic ending meaning 'place of' instead of the Greek element -polis. After the Ottoman conquest of 1453, it was used as the most formal official name in Ottoman Turkish, and remained in use throughout most of the time up to the fall of the Empire in 1923
When the Republic of Turkey was born in 1923 after the War of Independence, Kemal Ataturk moved the capital to the city of Ankara. The city of Istanbul has continued to expand dramatically and today its population is around 15 million and increases at an estimated 700,000 immigrants per year. Industry has expanded even as tourism has grown. It continues to be a city that creates its own history at the meeting point of the two continents; Europe and Asia.
ump to Republic of Turkey - When the Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923, the capital was moved from Constantinople to Ankara. Since 1930, the native name "Istanbul" has been the sole official name of the city in Turkish and has since replaced the traditional name "Constantinople" in most western languages as well.

So ince says it’s sad that Campbell has had to start at the bottom of the football ladder in his first coaching role because he’s a legend of a player.

Thats he type of attitude that that stops people actually getting jobs

 

OT is empty

Anthony Taylor has an entire row to himself

 

For me

A) earn your badges

B) work the youth levels at an academy.

C) get a first team coaching job.

D) work for tv.

Ex players thinking they can manage are dangerous. Most fail.
