My money would be on Mrs Shandon Par. Yeah, what sort of kick to the pie could you administer wearing "shoes" like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Without wanting to sound like too much of a heads-gone merchant, when choosing a loafer I consider how they'd perform in a tear up. Need to be light and grippy. I think they're better than trainers for two-stepping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Anyone that chooses their clothes based on how easily they adapt to violence deserves a red dot from life. Idiots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I train/spar in a pair of running shoes and the spongyness definitely doesn't help. Might rock up to the gym next time in a wee pair of suede loafers. Added bonus that my mate is likely to drop his guard due to intermittent laughter fits. Had these Ted baker driving shoe things that simply had two stiff rubber patches as the soles. I could skip about like Billy Elliot in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 How in the name of blue buggery did we go from discussing red dots to Shandon Par's choice of footwear and (admittedly lovely) ankles? I'm still chortling at Bairnardo's mate's brother who used to choose his night-out clobber based on his ability to fight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started going out in Falkirk it was regularly a battleground. Specially Friday nights. Grudges held over weeks and months. One of the other things that I have seen more than once is someone turning up for a night out wearing old clothes, purely because they were going out with the sole intention of settling a score. Mental when you look back. Growing up in Dunfermline (and getting into regular scrapes with Dundee hoolies who'd come to St Andrews to beat up students) conditioned me into being a bit that way (conscious that there's always a chance of some headcase starting something). I'd never dream of looking for trouble but I still always think "what if" so dress to keep light on my feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental when you look back. Thinking about it, I know quite a few boys that were like this. Wouldn't wear the new white shirt or jumper they bought in case. Or would wear an older of timberland boots as trouble was expected. Thankfully all in past days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have a mate who was from a family of heads-gone merchants. When getting ready for a night out his brother used to put on a shirt, then throw a couple of shots to ensure it wouldn't rip or otherwise hamper performance. That's brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a moron. Read the thread earlier and he came across as a right arsehole. Will miss his 'sources' telling him all the wrong info though. Was always good to rule out who was going to be a new club manager etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 From greeting about dots, to sizing up what loafers to wear for fighting. Only P&B is that a smooth (70 odd page) transition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a P&B "Last Man Standing" contest some time. No way am I going barefoot though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
