    I'm 58 years old ...... I call them the reserves, I call a number 9 a centre forward not a striker, I call the South Stand the 'Roker End' and an assistant referee a linesman.

    I'll do exactly as I ****ing please and, if you don't like it, I couldn't give a ****.

    If that clear enough?

    BTW, what you actually mean is 'try to get it right' ..... if you're trying to correct someone it's best not to **** up so badly yersel <doh>

    Like smug said, folk get in to a habit of calling things by their old name, no biggie, if any thing 'reserves' is quicker to type than 'back up players'. We all know what they mean. It's just splitting hairs init.

    I couldn't give a **** what you want to call them ....... every normal person knows they're not Poyet's first choice so he has them in reserve for matches like today.

    You can call them the Starlight Express or Poyet's bumboys for all I care, I'll call them reserves.

    Not everyone has been brainwashed by Sky, thanks all the same for the 'education' <doh>

    So how do you quickly distinguish the current squad members playing in the first team from those who aren't?

    It's a bit of harmless fun mate, can people not take a joke?

    I'm being told, repeatedly, how I have to refer to our reserves on a chat forum ............ sorry if I choose to respond.

    You could always learn from your own signature <ok>

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority ......... I'll call the manager the manager, not the 'first team coach' & the team the team and not 'the group'.

    I'll call the linesmen the linesmen not the 'assistant referees' & the reserves the reserves ........ you can call them by whatever politically correct name you wish.

    End of subject.

    You know, that has to be one of the stupidest things that you could say.

    Of course I believe I'm always right ....... why would I, you or anyone else post opinions they believe to be wrong?

    You believe you're right about everything otherwise you wouldn't post it.

    If not can you tell me which of your opinions, of yours, are wrong?
