I usually call it Foot. Now and then foot DOT I-E but I have never called it Footie or ever will.

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I use "footie" if I'm talking to someone that knows the site, and "foot-dot-i-e" if it's someone that doesn't. "Foot-i-e" I can understand, but "foot" strikes me as a bit odd.Originally Posted by pete

If i'm talking to someone who knows the site i call it foot, if it's someone who does not know the site then its foot . ieOriginally Posted by dahamsta
Don't see why really - google is google, not google.ie/com for example.Originally Posted by dahamsta

domain dropped - google, hotmail, yahoo, elevenaside, football365
domain kept - myhome.ie, u.tv, ryanair.com/aerlingus.com/etc, foot.ie(in fact, the airlines seem to push for the domain being kept)

But the ones that you're saying keep it, are the one's trying to sell a service on the sites. They're the commercial sites, and you hear them being advertised rather than joe bloggs talking about them?Originally Posted by Magoo

Good point. The upshot of the advertising is that people do tend to say ryanair.com, etc. though. For organisations people will commonly say the <insert org name here> website, as in the RTE website or the FAI website.Originally Posted by Macy
Would you call boards.ie boards? Or boardsie?
Anywho, foot just sounds silly. Footie i get i suppose but couldn't say it cos that's what i would tend to call the indoor/astro games after work... Foot.ie for me. I agree about the phootball.com being too long winded (even though really it's just one word)
