Reply | Andy Sinton celebrate 10 years as club ambassador

At 15, I always had nicknames for everyone in that squad - Macca, Bards, Willo, Ray (no nickname there son), Ollie, Royston, etc.
I went to a hospitality game and there was Andy, getting involved. I told him exactly what I've put above and he says (in the most lyrical Middlesbrough accent) "Well what did you call me?"
I goes "Sinners" and 35 years I'm not sure if he's happy or not 🤷♂️
Probably the best winger I've ever seen at Rangers. |

Always liked Heskey as a striker, good hold up play, knew where the net was, hard as fùcking coffin nails. Very much like Helgusson was for us. And he scored against Germany in the 5-1 win ( although I reckon most posters here would have got a couple in that game).
Anyways, Tony Daly. Possibly the fastest, most untalented man I've ever seen at Loftus Road (you're getting a massive hall pass here Tony Scully). |

Comes with permanent on-site security staff you can get Jody Morris and Des Byrne over to help you bottle if you're feeling bored. |

So utterly unmemorable I thought this was going to be about the late Northern Irish comedian whose catchphrase was "It's the way I tell 'em!"
Will achieve more fame as the answer to a pub quiz question. |

Can't say I agreed with all of his views but he was a cracking thriller writer. Would put "The Fourth Protocol" and "Dogs of War" down as my favourites but whatever he wrote, it was engaging, well-dramatised and meticulously researched. RIP |

Thanks for confirming. Next time you're chatting with him can you ask him if he prefers Valencian or Marinera paella? |

And on that note, I don't normally do this on here but it's football and it's local so if anyone feels they can spare 5 minutes to support Samurai FC, you get my undying gratitude and a virtual pint (redeemable for a physical pint, in person, at QPR's next Champions League final, terms and conditions apply, always read the small print).

I've worked with the BBC in a technical capacity on and off for more than 5 years. Like any large organisation, there are good people working there and bad people. However, unlike many other larger organisations, there's a pervasive level of institutional arrogance. Senior management throw around phrases like "national treasure" and "the nation's broadcaster" and fall back on royal charters and the infallibity of "the trust" (invoked with a reverence usually associated with a religion). When defunding comes back on the agenda again, pearls will be clutched far and wide but I'm almost tempted to say "fùck 'em, let's see how long they last against the streaming giants" (in my opinion: not very long).
And yet... I always row back from that because without the BBC (specifically the regions), the small voice that local communities have becomes no voice. The club one of my boys plays at is being evicted by Ealing Council and made the news yesterday - and that, that right there - along with community news from Essex, Newcastle, Liverpool, Bristol, Luton (ok, not Luton) - is why I pay my license fee, not to see some sequined cùnt prancing around a ballroom in Blackpool.

It's a reasonable line of defence that would almost certainly have seen him acquitted if he was playing for Luton. |

Reply | Valuing old football boots - Specifically Adidas Accelerators 1998
at 08:15 3 Jun 2025
I picked up a pair of adidas boots for a song, like £20 when everything else was £120 and played quite happily in them for two years before someone pointed out they were rugby boots and almost certainly illegal. Made no difference whatsoever to my game as all my passes go backwards and my shooting is always over the bar. |

You can't tell me a tournament pitting giants of the game like Ulsan Hyundai against Mamelodi Sundowns F.C or Botafogo against the Seattle Sounders is a joke. I'm mildly offended my son's U15 side that finished bottom of the HML 3rd division weren't invited. |

Apparently there was a list of roads that would be closed and the road it happened on wasn't one of them. Simple course of action is don't get in the car though. |

He did it abroad as well at a time very few players went overseas. Something like a goal every other game for Barcelona. |
