wendyredredrobin Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Must be a familiar feeling for borehamwood, winning a game of football against a team not fit for the football league at a ground not fit for the football league either. The whole setup is non league TBH and as for the manager, not only is he a disgrace to the football League but a disgrace to humanity.

That's exaggeration of which even Gasheads would be 'prowed'. Life on earth, if it lasts that long, has but 950m years left. The Sun, having lost around 10% of its present mass, will irradiate to cinder all organic matter, plus remove the Earth's atmosphere long before it itself expands.

If we are being pedantic, then I can point out that I didn't specify 5 billion for life, but for when the sun will potentially swallow the Earth. The second paragraph stated "in the final years the Earth is inhabited" and didn't specify a timeframe.

Major Isewater Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 This really elevates the word ‘ tinpot’ to another level. They are locked into a 1960’s time warp. Watching this video was like watching a football nostalgia programme. From the ikea ‘trophy’ cabinet , passing by the plastic ‘ Rovers’ carrier bags and the team bath it really was a laugh a minute. Any kid hearing the roar of the faithful would become a Rover’s fan for life. On a serious noté their misguided community chappie is a credit to them. He probably deserves better.

Swede Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The very definition of tin pot. Its best to watch the video with the sound turned down. I must've missed the Watney Cup in the wall cupboard trophy cabinet. Must be behind a box of babestation videos. Stark painted breeze block walls to give that homely prisoner cell block H feel, very nice. I am sure the manager feels at home. His "office" looks like a cupboard. All part of the temporary portakabin look. Very 1970's A very revealing view of the "facilities" on offer so any visiting fan who thought it was a shit hole from the outside, we can assure you its just the same on the inside. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see anything about a Prostitute , but the early versions mentions being "too young" Leadbelly 1908; I asked your mother for you She told me that you was too young I wish dear Lord that I'd never seen your face I'm sorry you ever were born The early versions seem to have the "To jump into the river and drown" line , which is the one I heard originally.

A few minor observations. 1 - Why does he have bars on his office window, is that to stop him from breaking out like some junior criminal in borstal, or is it to stop someone from breaking it? 2 - At what point does a graffiti covered toilet door become a 'feature' of the ground? 3 - Clearly there is value in the work of most community trusts yet there also needs to be a degree of honesty about their work, when they take these mascots on to the pitch and hear the roar of '9 or 10 thousand' in the ground, is he talking about when they take kids to away games for the mascot experience as they don't get those sort of numbers for home games. Unless they have a live feed to the car-park of course, in which case, fair-play, but my spidey senses are tingling, and I reckon he is making things up. 4 - It's all a bit Sunday league there isn't it. Get the idea that the fans have been broken down to being accepting of what they get offered on a match-day, but blimey, it really is beyond non-league seeing the state of those changing rooms and the facilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the husband of "Irene" alludes to taking a fatal dose of morphine (drowning himself in some versions) because she might leave him for another man. I saw the late great Dr John live and his version included both the drowning and morphine references. Multiple artists have recorded the song so versions inevitably vary widely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t enjoyed watching you so much since Chesham. Thanks for the early christmas gift from the kings of gift giving. Consider it a gift from me. If you want to reciprocate, Glenmorangie would be ideal :) On 27/11/2022 at 16:01, Wanderingred said: @Miah Dennehy Bristol Rovers are a good side who only concede to the top teams in the division. We’re great to watch and I’d fancy us against anyone at the moment. Harsh! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 7 hours ago, Gert Mare said: Enjoy....The gift that keeps giving I find it quite disturbing that parents subject their children to this type of chastening experience. Pushed through an antiquated turnstile, the gut wrenching smell of steaming urine from the portaloo facilities, standing on some old terrace with a packet of out of date crisps, pushed to the front so that they can't see the hopeless despair of the lemmings behind them. All part of the match day "experience" 1970's style. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have about 6 nice padded seats though. They say that when people are ill the club take them to visit the changing rooms. If they aren’t already ill enough as it is they are then subjected to that ******* dungeon. Poor bastards. I expect they then force them to watch the game from that breeze-block rabbit hutch? Oh yeah….then there’s the roar…”******* Snake” , “Sheed’ead” and some racism thrown in. I bet they can’t wait to be part of that family for life?! Followed by a bit of Babestation, an out of date packet of crisps, a fake fanta and a free ticket for Santa’s Portaloo! The kings of tinpottedness!
