You know you could write it phonetically to give us a chance tp see which one of you is correct!

Harry Potter pronounces it Dob-e

Whatever happened to the Withdean steward who always elicited "one harry potter" chants? We need him to cover the area of the amex near wherever Dobbie is at any given time. The chants would be genius!

Maybe you could put this in a lesson plan Bof

Hows the teacher training going?

Ha. Yes, that is true.

Funnily enough, we had an afternoon of phonetics on Friday before the game. Well practised for the old skool "You're shit... ahhhhhh".

Very well, thanks. Heading into my placement school a week tomorrow, ready to convert some more Brighton fans. A.N. Other football teams will not be tolerated!

Gus Poyet's surname is pronounced Poy-et, yet we sing Poy-ay.
Stephen Dobbie's surname is pronounced Doh-bee, yet most people say Dob-ee :shrug:

It rhymes with Adobe :jester:

Following the rules of english the double b should make it Dob-e but as with so many names it is how the individual pronounces it, after all it is their name, to say I'm not going to pronounce it the way you do is disrespectful IMHO.
