Whitey Grandad

Standing in an offside position almost on the goalkeeper’s toes is an offside offence. Whether the goalkeeper might have saved it is irrelevant. A beautiful header though.

What defending?

Strange, that. Did we rescue a point from a losing position?

And Portsmouth lose 1-0

Just tell the ref that your name is Sid.

"Play a big role" In a good way? I look forward to seeing that.

Did they? They could have just run down his contract.

Oops. It hasn't been called that for years. The correct description now is 'unsporting behaviour' and has been for a long time. Apparently it was because the player might not actually be a gentleman.

It’s classed as ‘ungentlemanly conduct’ if it’s thought that it might cause an opponent to leave the ball. It’s better to use a name instead such as “Whitey Grandad’s” or even “Ex Lion Tamer’s”

I take everything at face value until proved otherwise. Even people.

Oldham v Southampton 8th May 1993? It finished 4-3 with MLT getting a hat trick. https://www.premierleague.com/match/457

No. You’re thinking of printed signs, and there weren’t a lot of those. If any of our competitors had sold a lot of product I might agree with you, but they haven’t. Even the static sign companies have struggled. Besides, I am not a close friend of a government minister

‘Framers’

If one of our goalkeepers was injured we would need to get someone in to cover. In this instance they’re not injured, they’re just not very good.

That’s very presumptuous of you.

Nope. Because everyone was staying at home.

Shame. I fancied a home draw.

Didn’t Franny Benali break his arm sweeping up leaves, or something?

Electronic public information displays. Basically, anywhere that lots of people gather and need to be informed. Our main product line is captioning systems for theatres, which had of course been closed for over a year.

Why not? Do they not count towards our goals for at the end of the season?

My industry. I’ve had three on furlough but two of them have now been made redundant so they are no longer on furlough now that they’re on notice.

Oh FFS 🤬 Why, oh why, oh why??? We could have had two proper keepers next year instead of a bag of nerves and Alex McScaredshitless.

There's a Danish island called Romø just north of the border with Germany where people park on the beach. There are also a couple of Danish lads with a 4x4 and a long rope who hang around waiting for the tide to rise. They charge to tow stranded vehicles to safety. As the tide rises so does the price. If the driver is German the price is even higher.

Julius Caesar had the same problem when he did his first armed reconnaissance of Brittania in 55BC. As a Mediterranean he was surprised by the height of the tides off Walmer. His beached warships filled with water and his anchored transports were driven against each other.

They were ordered in plenty of time but like anything electronic coming from the Far East there are horrendous delays. First Covid and now all the transport problems.
