Thelonius is just the loveliest big guy, isn’t he?

This was also ‘slept on’. Associate it exclusively with Giles Coke for some reason.

That Untouchables kit was made of a really weird material too, it was like a sponge, absolutely boiling trying to play fives in it way back when.

Oh well.

Currently appearing as The Unknown at that Wonka experience. Or hiding out with Kate Middleton, depending on which rumour mill you subscribe to.

It’s a bit like democracy really. What’s that saying - never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers?

I just want to know the real story about Jili Buyabu.

Big Sieb has to be up there - a very good player and excellently hirsute to boot. I would like to add: Colin O’Neill Steve ‘Supersub’ Kirk Said Chiba Daniel Sengewald Abel Thermeus - The Flask Holm Kraska

That’s why it was such a pish partnership, I guess

The problem with Kelly’s current state is that it clearly gives the folk in front of him zero confidence whatsoever. You add that to a defence that is full of players who aren’t naturals in the role they’re being asked to play, and it’s no wonder we are conceding soft goals most weeks. In patches last night (the first 20 mins or so, and when Vale and Devine came on) I actually thought we looked quite useful - some decent passing moves and everything looked quite fluid. We seemed to resort far to quickly to shelling long balls at Bair who only got more isolated as the game went on, you had Spittal and Paton dropping further and further back to try and force things rather than just concentrating on our own game. As many have said, we seemed to shite it from Morton and just couldn’t get over that. In terms of individuals: - Buyabu has a touch of the Gbolys about him - Vale and Devine deserve a start - Butcher is honking - Bair tried hard enough but needs support. That fucking Dougie Imrie song was doing my nut too, I should have stayed in and watched Seinfeld.

Friends is the Oli Shaw to Seinfeld’s Theo Bair.

Eh? Jeez, what the world gives with one hand it rapidly snatches away with the other, doesn’t it?!

Makes sense considering he’s a total weirdo.

The worst thing is those daft wee socks footballers wear now. Theres a definite period that for me lasted from the 1990 WC through to about 2010 or so that just feels like a different world. So much opening up of football with the likes of the Serie A stuff on C4, the start of the Champs League, and that’s before you get started on stuff like Champ Man. The latter is I think part of the problem now tho, too much focus on stats and ‘data’ which I get have a place but it’s the way that this seems to be (essentially) the only type of reporting or discussion around football these days. All the chat about xG or ‘duels won’ sucks all the enjoyment out of it. It’s still 22 guys running about a grass rectangle trying to hoof a ball into a net. Doesn’t need to be over complicated.

Tbf Shaw is probably the only time we’ve actively preferred a player being injured to being in the squad.
