Was going to post the same thing. I've never understood the pronunciation & spelling inconsistencies with that word. It's also one of those English words that just doesn't sound right coming out of an American mouth. It's right up there with "gaffer" as one of the more cringe-worthy things you might hear a soccer fig say. Excuse my blasphemy here, but Stu Holden used to say it all the time in interviews when he was still playing in England and it bugged the shite out of me.

It's a common term used in football and let's not forget Stu is Scottish
