Dindeleux Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Albert mongoose is a fucking bellend and one for the watching. Always starts off with animal cruelty. I have saved two wee mice from death in the jaws of my cat in the last week. One of which was about 10 mins ago. Both scuttled away with some badly broken legs though and I found what I'm guessing was the mum dead outside today (or a rat with a wee tail).Living next to a field I should probably just let her do the work or I'll end up with them in my house but you can't just sit and watch a cat kill wee mice.Unless you're Albert Mongoose of course who would probably have a wee chug whilst he sat there like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to do with some Hibs numpty on twitter constantly tweeting the Hibs correspondent at Edinburgh Evening News in an overly familiar way asking for signing updates.

NorthernJambo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'm going to point out the obvious and say my guess is the guy that composed that tweet probably isn't of full mental capacity. Right, now that's out the way, who is Dudu Dahan then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) What does NLGAWA mean? And why does Red Rob the angry *** keep putting a wee Bulgarian flag at the end of his posts? Edited August 5, 2017 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarballs Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not sure if it's a P&B thing or just a phrase that hasn't made it this far north to the Highlands but what does 'sand-dancer' mean? Have worked out that it's an uncomplimentary term to describe a player, other than that I'm uncertain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it meant a guy who could do lots of fancy dribbling tricks, but didn't have any other football skills in his arsenal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 On a similar note, whatever happened to Aiden McGeady? I know he's at Sunderland, but he used to be P+B's resident bête noire, but I've not heard anyone bitch about him in ages. What happened? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have worked out that it's an uncomplimentary term to describe a player, other than that I'm uncertain I think I heard this being explained on Off The Ball before... IIRC, it's basically used to describe those players who wouldn't look out of place doing all the fancy flicks and tricks on the beaches of Brazil, but who would be utterly hopeless in an actual game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, that does sound familiar, I think I do remember that. I can vaguely recollect Tam saying "Ah've heard sand-dancer used in a different context..." before Cosgrove cuts him off with his usual faux outrage. Petty and ill-informed - and pish on a number of levels - I do enjoy Off The Ball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
