People referring to Ollie Watkins as 'Ollie' as if they know him.
I think it's fair enough. Especially as it distinguishes him from the similarly surnamed and admired Zoe from our ladies squad. :p

I get really wound up when all a software prgram will offer is english (united states ) .

What is wrong with using the version that is correct?????
Is "prgram" a US spelling? Not come across that before.
One thing that does annoy me on a lot of these programs (or should it be "programmes"?) is, despite "knowing" your location, when registering on many services (even Brit based ones) you still have to scroll all the way down the list of countries to paste "United Kingdom" into the required field.
PS: I'll do you a "favor" though, and promise not to mention "color". :p

Oliver seems so formal. He's a nice lad, you should get to meet him.

But why would she be in the Ollie Watkins thread? 😉

It's the same with 'Ethan'. Don't ask me why it irritates me, it just does.

So would you call them Mr Watkins and Mr Ampadu?

He's only called Oliver when he's in trouble with his mum!

What you call every other player...Watkins, Ampadu.

Do you call Harry Kane 'Harry'?
