Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[The Jovial Forester]

If I have to read 'PC gone mad' one more time I'm gonna come down there and bash your heads together.

I've got no time for sub-Daily Mail curtain twitchers either but there really is a crap school of official anti-racism that does more harm than good, all the while turning a blind eye to more serious problems like black managers getting a fair shake etc or the thing Aber gas mentioned with the women's team.

That'll be handy for the brawls.

From PC gone mad to elf'n safety gone madder.

Those things will restrict views even further.

 

[DontBringBertie]

The same way as bringing race in to a selection process by the 'Rooney rule' would also be racist.

 

[Aberstone]

Being given Barnet's team coach today is true tinpottery from the coach operators we use.

Doesn't work as an insult unless you tell them to get a new nose while their (sic) at it.

What a big nose cock. Fancy posting factual information on twitter. The nerve

The flamboyant boss of a football club faces a possible driving ban after pleading guilty to speeding.

Glenn Tamplin, the owner-manager of Billericay Town, admitted breaking a 50mph but was not required to appear before magistrates in Chelmsford.

The 45 year old, of Abridge, Essex was driving a Bentley 29GT on the A282 Dartford crossing in April when a speed camera recorded him doing 66mph.

Tamplin who faces magistrates in December said a ban is possible.

He told the BBC he already has nine penalty points on his licence but said he hoped "the judge will be lenient... If not I'll have to get a driver".

He added: "Of course I regret breaking the limit but there's nothing I can do now. I don't want to break the speed limit in the first place but I can't guarantee it won't happen again.

"I haven't been done driving over 100mph, I haven't been done driving recklessly.

"Speed limits are there to be adhered to but it's not like I've gone and broke the limit by double the speed or an excess that would mean an immediate ban."

Mr Tamplin is also facing another speeding charge for an alleged offence in May when he was recorded driving at 44mph in a 30mph zone.

That case is due to be heard by Chelmsford magistrates in October.


or is there a Billericay thread?

Newcastle Benfield have decided that because we are a massive club they need a trailer for our FA Cup game on Saturday.

So he's asking the judge to be lenient because be 'didn't break the law that badly'? What a prick.
I knew a rugby league player who had 20+ points on his licence. Money gives you a bigger allowance, apparently.

Maybe he could lend Torquay some of them?

Could have picked a more upbeat tune. Good one pools for equalising so late on

 

[Soup Ladle]

Equalising!? It was a winner! We beat the mighty Barra with an undeserved last minute winner! Get your facts right

Are you sure about that?

Some going that, losing at home to Maidstone and beating us 1-0 at our place on the same day.

EDIT just realised that it's the Barrow page and not Tuesday night's results.

My brain is proper tinpot.

At the heart of the Darlo mystery lies another mystery, now you see me, now you don't, at our club at the moment

Amusingly tinpot was Guiseley not bringing a top for their keeper. So there were two Worgans on the pitch, one of whose shirt fitted.
