Football Teams' Abbreviations.

Was watching a bit of Legia Warsaw v Rangers the other night.
Top left of screen showed LEG 0 RAN 0
would have thought LEG HOP would have been better :-)
Another one which tickled me was
ARS v CRY
at full time ARS(es) was definitely Crying.

Anyone noticed any others or am I just easily pleased ? :-D

[Old_Geezer]

You're just observant I'd guess. Are there many amusing combinations to spot ?

[Ken4155]

Just a few here;

Fulham v C Palace = Ful-Cry
Blackpool v Blackburn = Bla-Bla
Mansfield v Sunderland = Man-Sun
Crawley v Plymouth = Cra-Ply
Newport v Cardiff = New-Car
Newport v Bradford = New-Bra

[aelmpvw]

i look forward to farnborough playing teddington in the fa cup

[1ozzy]

I suppose Arsenal wouldn't play Bradford.
Ars-Bra

[Ken4155]

That would be followed by a denial, ael;
Havant & W v Nottingham = Hav-Not

Darlington v Lincoln = Dar-Lin
Doncaster v Wigan = Don-Wig
Cardiff v Huddersfield = Car-Hud
Carlisle v Peterborough = Car-Pet

[gollob]

don't think they will allow Colchester v Northampton
