Monkey Tennis

Yes, I'm getting all nostalgic and misty eyed. The answer has really been provided anyway. The minute he's stopped performing as well, we can all see what it means.

I think it is a bit of a leap to be honest. Dobbie and (perhaps to a slightly lesser extent) Dykes would surely have played all the time anyway, even if we'd had a bigger squad. The assumption about Marshall also looks like a big one - likewise Doyle. I really do have doubts about a couple of Challenge Cup ties having impacted negatively. Fair enough, if one of them had seen Dobbie crocked for four months, but that didn't happen.

They sure were on here. Some posts to wince at.

Burnt out due to playing lots of games? I don't really see why, to be honest. All part of that impressive straw clutching I suppose.

People keep saying this, but I don't agree with it at all. Bennett can be maddening at times, but he plays a kind of game on here. Willy is utterly, terrifyingly, sincere.

A brilliant observation. That whole picture could not have been put together more beautifully.

I think that contemptuous laughter is a good starting point. It's also the place to then visit and also to later wind up at.

I think it does really come down to that. They reserve the right to despise Craig Whyte for his dodginess, yet also to despise those who told them about it, for doing so. A splendid illustration of Orwellian doublethink.

The idea of the Vanguard Bears criticising others on the basis of 'bigotry' is simply delightful. Hats off to those fellas. Their commitment to comedy is utterly unwavering.

It's as if a film director has told a bunch of extras to try to look as beleaguered and forlorn as possible.

It's a crying shame that the weather was so rotten. On a better day, that turnout could have been at least 20% bigger.

I've seen this on other threads, but it is fully deserving of its own. It's a thoroughly joyous event.

I'd call that a reason, rather than a mere 'bonus'.

Yes, pretty frustrating I suppose. Jolly unsporting if you ask me.

Middlesbrough did pretty much die, I think. Their badge certainly had '1986' on it for a few years.
