    FWIW, FCD is not an acronym. An acronym is a 'word' formed from abbreviated letters, such as FIFA, UEFA, NATO, etc. Things like EFL, BBC, RAC, and FCD are simply abbreviations because each letter is pronounced individually. :)

    Stop using acronyms. It’s not an episode of Line of Duty

    sweet jesus mary and joseph and the wee donkey. Purpose of language is to convey a message. If we all understand it, a bit of shorthand does no harm

    Also, what's the problem? I don't remember anyone complaining about abbreviations for other players such as ROD, AOC, POC or BRE.

    It's actually pretty easy to read FCD as an acronym ;)

    Finn played the whole match in yesterday's 3-2 defeat to Scotland. Ex City loanee Glenn Middleton scored the winning goal from a penalty

    It's good.

    However are we saying now that Liverpool under 18's is better that Bradford City first team?

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57252595

    Conor Bradley plays for Liverpool Under 18's at right back and isn't near the 1st first team but hes be called straight up to the Ireland senior squad.

    I'm hoping this season Bradford City use the loan market well because some talent out there that are clearly better than what we have even at under 18 level.
