OK Ellen, point taken. The threads about Association Football do tend to be British dominated and so can have a rather abrasive tone to them, which most regular posters from wherever in the world accept.

I’m surprised at the reprimand, because it seemed like standard knockabout football-thread humour to me. But ISTR from other threads that the C word, even if asterisked out, is a bit more of a shocker in the States than it is over here.
