Always thought it was an English thing? Like calling Gallagher - gallakerOk. Good. I was watching a game on Sky or BT 2 or some other of the English speaking channels (not American) and the commentator pronounced it Dockertee or Dockerty. Glad he did it wrong, sounded really strange.

It's being reported on Sky that he will miss City game due to 10 day isolation.Whilst everyone is farting about with pronunciations is there any truth that Doherty has covid and misses the Citeh game ?
Why would they get it though? More worried about Kane, Dier and Winks after Thursday's game.absolutely beyond ridiculous these games are being played! the only positive that could come from these now is if kdb and werner get it too.

Thanks GMIt's being reported on Sky that he will miss City game due to 10 day isolation.
Again..... What is the point of these internationals.
Wonder how long he's had it? And do the entire England squad now need to be tested after the game on Thursday against Ireland???
What a complete shambles.
Totally, but we now know he's got it, so those that have been around him the last 4/5 days will be at even greater risk.
Saoirse = Sershia, how, how, how is that pronounced like that!Because the Irish don't give a feck, and pronounce things how they feckin want!!!
How else did they come up with Siobhan or Aisling? ....both pronounced completely differently to how they're spelt!!!
Doherty is positively Phonetic by comparison!!
Hell my name is spelled Aaron, yet apparently pronounced Asshole.Saoirse = Sershia, how, how, how is that pronounced like that!
Very true. I might add that there is a lot of pressure from nations themselves to hold the games as a sort of political pressure-release valve- rally the peasants around the flag and build rapport/identity together while unifying against "the other". Bread, meet circuses...
Yep. He probably caught it from Ludicrous then passed it on to England.Whilst everyone is farting about with pronunciations is there any truth that Doherty has covid and misses the Citeh game ?
Not when he isn’t eligible!
Same with egypt.Saoirse = Sershia, how, how, how is that pronounced like that!
