According to Google it's about 1 use of "Tadgh" for every 4 uses of "Tadhg".

It's an improvement from the early days, but until recently, one of the biggest culprits was actually afl.com and the Swans site. It seems they *may* just be learning!

The Daily Telegraph still frequently gets it wrong

[ScottH]

Maybe he should change it to something simpler, like Ty, or Tie.

[Ruda Wakening]

I think they should take 10 minutes before the start of the game to teach the crowd how to spell and pronounce it

But isn't it pronounced 'Tige'?

[OldE]

Except that it's pronounced Ti-g (like Tiger, without the r).

[OldE]

Oops, I was trumped

[ScottH]

so its Tyg or Tie-g

[OldE]

I believe so.


Probably best to ask him, though...

[Mike_B]

Yep, in his own words (as already mentioned) its like Tiger without the r.

Tie-g. Isn't that some kind of Chinese martial art?

no, thats wing chun kung fu, or jeet kun do. But I can see how you can mistake that for Tie-g.

A lot of Gaelic, Welsh, Irish names are spelt differently from how they sound. Sometimes you blame the parents though. As for Craig Davis being a wanker, I know people who know him who think differently but he was not an average footballer. He kicked nearly 90 goals as a 6 foot full forward in a grand final team including 4 on a wet grand final day. He also led the goalkicking the following year in a career marred by life threatening illness.
