Without using Google, that makes it too easy, how is your knowledge of football club nicknames? Arbroath are nicknamed? Montrose? What’s theirs? Who are the Villains? Who are the Tigers? What are Clyde known as? With each answer you give, pose a new question. Red lichties,hull city ,Aston villabully wee ,,no sure Montrose?

In other words, I don’t think the team is known as the Arabs. Dundee United team to me known as the terrors. When I was in training in the Navy, a guy who came from Dorset, said his Scottish team are Dundee United as they had the same nickname as his hometown team.

In other words, I don’t think the team is known as the Arabs. I think the origin of “Arabs” is supposed to be a report of a game on a heavily sanded pitch where they “took to the surface like Arabs”. So logically the term should apply to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
