Jirki88 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Both Baldeep Singh as central midfielder... How do you shout to them for not both of them to answer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGLiverpool Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I would love to meet a guy called Subhashish Roy Chowdhury (greyed out player) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I would love to meet a guy called Subhashish Roy Chowdhury (greyed out player) Agreed, you'd have to offer him a contract tbh silva_gunner, welcome to the forums. . Are you sure thats right though? I have a sikh in my year at school with the surname Tattar, is it because he lives in England? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezequiel_Lavezzi Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe they are all related? I knew a guy called Gurubaskuran Subranihiaman, fondly called "guru" or "*sshole" as he was just that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkstier Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Haha. Yeah there's actually 2 other guys named Singh above those and also a couple of the backroom staff are named Singh. It's completely ridiculous, in a funny kind of way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenArsenal Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Singh is a common Sikh name. It's like Mohamad for the Muslims. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurz123 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I would give all players nicknames, I can imagine what the matches are like... 'Singh in possesion in mifield ... across the park to Singh, on to Singh. Singh coming forward ... Great cross from Singh ... Singh heads it ... off the bar! ... Singh on the rebound ... WOW, what a goal by Singh! A great passing move featuring all ten of their outfielders!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spurz123 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 That would make a tad more sense tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilio Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 My mate married a Sikh girl. He had to have Singh added to his name, his name is now Rory George Singh Edwards, as opposed to Rory George Edwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Major Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Agreed, you'd have to offer him a contract tbh silva_gunner, welcome to the forums. . Are you sure thats right though? I have a sikh in my year at school with the surname Tattar, is it because he lives in England? I'm Sikh, but I don't use Singh when I tell people my name. Some sikhs use it some don't. It's not like a surname, but a middle name give to Sikh boys, it means lion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamweesel Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Being half Indian,we have a lot of variations in surnames.Singh is just a common name in Punjabi's(Sikh's).The aforementioned club is JCT Mills,which is based in Punjab itself.We have a non existent transfer market,and our clubs rely on youngsters,and 90 % of the locals are Singh,so there you go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkstier Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Tbh I haven't done much with the save yet. Just felt like giving it a shot, managing a team in the Indian league as well as the Indian National Team to see if I could make any progress with them. But yeah, the quality of the players is pretty bad, but I do have a couple kids that look like they've got some potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So you've established that Sikhs are all names Singh. What nobody's pointed out yet is that JCT is located in the Punjab, the homeland of the Sikhs. The players all have common solid Punjabi names. It's a common name for Hindus too. Nb. Do a search - IIRC there's an Indian player named 'Bungo Singh'! And yeh, the quality of football is truly awful - which can make it a great FM experience!
