Relax Tan
If there’s a contrary position to be adopted and defended at all costs including insulting people and their ancestors. It’ll be found on tfk.
In fairness to @Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy football is the normal word up North. I always called it football when I was growing up in Monaghan and I’ve only started calling it soccer now on TFK all the time.
It’s one of the TFK words that I say all the time now, along with “muldoon” “ivermectin” and “fanta pants”.

So it’s Tan slang?
So we’ve confirmed it’s football in British plantations. Thanks for bringing this shocking development to the debate. In Ireland it’s soccer, bar the few soupers who were happy to take the queen’s pound and be called paddy for a few years.

Soccer seems to be the term in cricket counties.
You’d never hear rustics here refer to it as football.
On the odd occasion it might be on the telly in the pub there was generally a loud interjection like:
“Turn off that fucking soccer” followed by a stream of profanities generally aimed at innocent youths who may inadvertently be sporting (insert club) jersies.
For the purpose of the discussion it’s possible that “fucking soccer” may be the appropriate term.

I proved before that salt of the earth corner boy, gah hating died in the wool association football types like Brian kerr and Johnny Giles even called it soccer. This football/soccer thing in Ireland is completely imported from England in recent years. Its the equivalent of league of ireland fans chanting in an English accent.
Just look at the calibre of poster that has voted for football here. If you’re not part of this TFK clique then you may as well hang up your eboots right now

Soccer in Cork .
Exactly… A few lads trying to hide their Muldoon roots and a few double (wum) accounts.
The Lumerick poster there is either a liar or more likely chose based on what others said
NOBODY in Limerick calls it football, nobody

Yeah, as usual, he’s playing up to his ‘heroes’ to be edgy 
I remember before an u14s game, over 20 years ago, this bould cunt went across the field on a push nike roaring and shouting how “they let me outta jail to play soccer” , more than half off his game,
He wasnt a bad player in the first half and he wasnt lying,
Its definitely soccer.

Leftie from southill? He couldn’t kick a ball out of his way
