:rolleyes: Meh. In North America, we have a wonderful, entertaining sport called ice hockey. They refer to the netminder as a goaltender at times. It's not a big deal here and you can use the terms interchangeably without being considered an idiot by a fan of either game.
Don't be a snob.

Not to mention university.
I must say, though, that I've heard goalie before but never goaltender.

It's not really snobery. The English langue has a pretty broad vocabulary, and as such it is pretty prescise. One should always endevour to use the most suitable work to properly convey ones opinion, innit geezer.
Else why not call Strikers shooty guys.
Wingers could be down the sides sometimes shooty guys.
You back four would be you defendlies (remember that classic Zani moment?)
But I digress. Goal tender sounds like someone who would serve me nets in a pub.

Yep, I thought it was the guy that hooked and unhooked the nets onto the posts before and after a game, and probably gave them a wipe down occasionally :)

Surely if you were tending to a goal you would be in the process of making sure it happens?

Did you catch the Nick Hornby short story (it ran on a radio program over here, it was really weird to hear him saying "soccer") about the smallest country in the world playing a WC qualifier, and the nerdy kid who had to play because there were only just enough males in the country to make up a side, and he can't play at all but he notices things and he tells them all how they have to watch out for "the edge man" because every time the opponent passes it to "the edge man" they score? Just free associating.

On the subject of dirty thieving scousers, I tried to have a bet with one yesterday about the scoreline in last years highbury game. First pass was all talk and no bet and it turned out both of us where wrong. What happens is that 2 hours later he approaches with a different recollection and a different scoreline and so positive that now he wants to put 50 on it instead of the usual fiver. Turns out the scouse had rung someone to look it up on the internet for him and then had the front to want to up the bet knowing he had the answer in his pocket. You just can't trust them.

Exactly... it's Nick Hornby.
When I talk about American football (which I do alot) I never say Defense or attack. I always say it the American way because thats how it is. Deeeeefense and Offense. In the couple of games last season where I got MVP I never came home and told eveyone I got man of the match because thats not American Football is it?

You need to have someone bring this sign to your games. That is truly American!!!

I always cringe when I hear the word "franchise" when referring to a sporting club--what is this, McDonalds or Burger King????

That's exactly what they are*. They get regional exclusivity and agree to abide by the league rules set by the commissioner's office. That's why teams are bound by the fines and other rules imposed by the officers. If you look at the history of Baseball, particularly the early years, you'll see just how much power these commissioners have.
*At least here in the US - I'm not entirely certain how the English system works.
