Lrrr Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 What we need is an extra time penalty where we're a few goals up just so Marlon can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 So when you add the two most viewed GIF's together you get 3.7 Million hits. Holy crap that is some exposure for the club. Great work by all involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xiled Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Absolute genius whoever came up with the original idea. Perfect for a season when we are scoring goals and winning games - I don't think it would have worked so well at times last year! But, the article did shed light on how much the players enjoy being part of the creative process. And the competition to score is something I hadn't considered before. Anything that brings a group of players together and engages positively with the fans is a good thing. I hope we get a season long compilation of all the goals and all the gifs in May - a great way to celebrate finishing above Wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not make sense but at least whoever reads this now knows. I had often wondered how it was pronounced, and no sooner do I see the Sky video in which everybody pronounced it GIF (with a hard G, as in gift) than you say it should be pronounced Jif. Given that the first word in the acronym is Graphic, I would have thought GIF was pronounced with a hard G, and the dictionary definition ɡɪf,dʒɪf/ seems to confirm this. Whatever, they are all good fun and long may they continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're welcome Although, Why does anyone pronounce GIF with a soft G then? The creator of the GIF image format, Steve Wilhite of CompuServe, when deciding on the pronunciation, said he deliberately chose to echo the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say “Choosy developers choose GIF(jif)”, playing off of Jif’s television commercials. If you hear anyone pronounce GIF with a soft G, it’s because they know something of this history. If the Jif peanut butter company never existed, he would have never pronounced GIF with a soft G. Speaking of Steve Wilhite, when he explains the pronunciation of GIF, he himself has to explicitly write, “It’s pronounced ‘JIF’.” He has to explain it this way because it goes against how it would naturally be pronounced.
