Matt Doherty 2513 Days

[thetwistedsock]

Was just looking at the best premier league photos of the weekend and the caption says Matt Docherty had 2513 days between his premier league debut and his second premier league game. Only two players have waited longer, Erik Nevland (3667) and Darren Pratley (2835).

The manager told Nevland he’d bring him on in 10. Man of his word.

Why cant “fans” spell the names of our own players correctly.

This particular "fan" has been going for over thirty years. Thanks mister perfect.

It's one I can never spell so he's always Doc to me & I'm 3 months off going for 50 years

 

[Mugwump]

And he hates being called Doc!

Neil Emblem was great for us.

And he hates being called Doc!

Better call him docatino then.

 

[Mugwump]

Better call him docatino then.

Cant remember where i saw the interview with him where he said it, but even though a lot of people in Ireland pronounce Doherty with a " Doc ", he doesnt apparently.

See the vote on Twitter is bang on 50/50 in whether he is good enough for the premier

Will be interesting year

No one here does. It's always pronounced without the added c.

I'd be more worried about Boly after Saturday's performance.

I know a few Irish people where some of my family are from who use the doc pronunciation, but I know it's not particularly common. Think it may be more a Scottish thing.

 

[Wolves in Bucharest]

Two different names, the Irish name Doherty and the Scottish name Docherty as in Tommy Doc.

What part of Ireland are they from?

 

[Mugwump]

What part of Ireland are they from?

West Cork, from the Beara Penninsula.

 

[Wolves in Bucharest]

We've had this argument before, I'm not disputing your claim but my mother's people are from West Cork, Skibbereen/Baltimore and I've never heard them use 'Doc' for Doherty. As I say above the names are different one being Irish and the other Scottish.

That's why I said it's not common. Could be they have a Scottish mix in their families, I don't know.

Mind you, they are a lot further west than Skibbereen, they might get a bit stranger the further west you go

 

[Wolves in Bucharest]

Good God man, do you not know that Cork is the centre of civilisation as we know it. There is no such thing as a strange Cork man or woman for that matter.

Yep. They are called Kerry folk.

The “Dowerty ” pronunciation on the TV is irritating too. It is a short “o” as (indeed!) in “doc”, but no “c”. Don’t know how to use Twitter but I would add my vote to “good enough “ to make it a majority.

 

[Dudleywolf]

West Cork, from the Beara Penninsula.

Do they hug you at weddings and give away penalties ?

 

[Dudleywolf]

Good God man, do you not know that Cork is the centre of civilisation as we know it. There is no such thing as a strange Cork man or woman for that matter.

Most are called Bob.

Doherty was our 3rd best player, behind Neves and Jiminez, against Everton, according to Opta, with a rating of 7.20.

I didn't see the whole game, only highlights, so I can't comment on the reliability of Opta ratings, and I know they don't always tell the full picture. But they are independent. ans objective and based on multiple factors so they are a decent indicator.

Any rating of 7 or above is good.

Interestingly Ryan Bennett was 4th best with a rating 7.10.

Our Jimmy Ness plays for Scotland, don't you know!

You didn't meet my Nanny and Pampa!!! Loved them to bits but by the power of all that is good and holy, they were odd. When they first came over, they settled in Shoreditch and if they were still alive today, they wouldn't look out of place in that soup of beardy Bo'ho chic...including my nan.

 

[Clifton Wolf]

He definitely good enough to make the step up, he’ll prove that right after a good run of games.

Good interview here

In Northern Ireland it's doc never heard anyone up here call it do
