This is like when Wahl asks a question and then spends the rest of the time telling everyone they're wrong.

Hang on a minute...

How would you label these following players positions / roles

Mahrez - right-forward
Sane - left-forward or left-winger
Dembele - left-forward
James - No.10 mainly
Di Maria - Nowadays mainly CM but used to be a right forward often
Douglas Costa - left winger

So we're saying a player can play in the left but be a right sided player because he's right footed? That's ridiculous.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m not saying that, no.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was referring to RDD.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. 'Sided ' is a reference to the players preferred foot, not his position.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, 'sided' refers to which side of the pitch.

Is this the lingo where you grew up?

Remember a Beckham in his early days being interviewed and being asked if he was "volatile" because he was getting booked regularly.
"Yes because I can play in the centre or on the right or left".Priceless!

Also remember him saying, "My parents have always been there for me, ever since I was about 7"

What about Norman Rightside? He had a great left foot.

If a player was described to me as left sided I would assume he was on the political left.

If a player was described to me as a left sided forward I would assume he played on the left side of the pitch along the forward line

His middle leg.

This is an absolutely ridiculous debate really.

A left sided midfielder is called that because they play on the left of midfield and not because they're left footed.

I write with my right hand and I'd never describe myself as being right sided when writing. It'd be right handed jo matter where I write.

I would describe them as wingers but that's not really the point.

That's cricket unless he's Jake the Peg

Giggs could play midfield too.

Dexter refers to right side.
Sinester refers to left side
Therefore all left-sided players are sinester. So to clean up the game and rid it of this evil influence cut both sides of the pitch and only play down the middle.

It’s a term the players tailor uses when they sit for a yearly fitting of their kit. It’s to avoid any embarrassing inadvertent touching.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm sorry but this is a worrying display of ignorance which cannot be allowed to spread unhindered.

A gentleman's tailor will always ask 'Does M'Lord dress to the left or the right' at the first time of taking a fitting for said Gentleman, after which it is expected he remember such preferences for future engagements.

If a player is described as left or right sided, it would mean the side of the pitch they play on. Thinking anything else would be wrong, and you don’t have any friends so don’t lie.

Yes when Ron Atkinson was manager.

Since then the inverted stuff Clockwork mentioned kicked in and changed the world forever
