Quite amusing imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Drag Back Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sorry all. Lesson learned: P&B is NOT the place to discuss the bizarre derivation of a brand name from 150 years ago. Oh well, back to the YouTube comment section I go... PS the most tin pot thing in Scottish Football will always be the supremely naff Scotsport theme tune. It's the musical equivalent of someone shrugging and saying: "This'll do I suppose." And there was a period in the early 2000s where it sounded as if the drums were possibly being played on an actual tin pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 St. Mirren opening a bare minimum of turnstiles for a league derby in 1995, allowing many fans the pleasure of hearing the crowd celebrating 3 goals before they got in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiepiemuncher Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Last time I was at Stark's was about 12-13 years ago. Scottish Cup game. I missed the first ten mins of the game as there were only two turnstiles open (and a big queue behind, right down the hill, hopefully they made it by half time). At half time there was a single (yep, just the one) stall open, and the queue was like one of those snake toys you got in the 80's, all double and tripled round and two wee frightened lassies trying to do their best at the counter. I concur, I too was at that game and that was the Tin Pottiest football experience ever. Thankfully Raith Rovers have never materialised in the big league since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back it was almost as if tv stations would make it as hard as possible to watch football, there was so little on. i remember sportscene once also showing American basketball as well.. the Boston celtics, obviously I kind of associated that more with Scotsport. I remember them featuring curling, indoor hockey and all manner of rubbish. I thought it was more token than anything on Sportscene, but the opening titles there suggest it was more than that. I do recall the odd shinty game where the goalkeeper appeared to be wearing jeans and a jumper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hilariously, there's a Hamilton fan who is going around red dotting absolutely everything that identifies Accies as being tinpot. So much rage, so little self-awareness. The slightest element on self-awareness would tell him that all clubs in the Premiership demonstrate tinpottedness. "What's the most tinpotted thing you've ever seen your own club do" would return the same events, but wouldn't be quite as much fun. I guess if you're twelve, your own club can do no wrong. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Noticed this on Monday... shades of "Darren Mackie: Reading Champion"? It seems unrelated to the subject - and just thrown in there as if reading a book, like starting a fashion line, is very unusual and left-field ! Quote http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42952725 Partick Thistle's Abdul Osman fashions brand to reflect his injury woe Partick Thistle captain Abdul Osman found his first major injury absence so tough he launched a fashion range with the slogan "It's not easy". ... "Our keeper, Tomas Cerny, reads books and I thought, 'I like my fashion, so why not try something new?'"
