Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Raymondo316]

Non-league club @CoalvilleTownFC couldn't find a shirt to fit their new signing's (Kyle Perry) 6ft4 frame.

They tweeted out asking fans if anyone could donate their shirts so he could play in their match...

Finally a fan came forward & lent his shirt to Perry!

Oxford City leaving all the gates open two hours before kick off. A group of us had a wander all the way onto the pitch before being escorted out and being told to wait behind a white line for 8 minutes before they could legally allow us in... two lads hid in the stand and got in free of charge.

Defo one of the lighter sides to tinpottery. A few years ago Guiseley kept their away gate completely open so they could stick a van and trailer there instead for the food. All we had to do is look to make sure nobody was looking and walk over the towbar to get in for free. Joke's on them though, we lost.

Who's tinpot here? Wealdstone for their players and staff not having the capability of putting rubbish in a bin?

Nothing wrong with having decent manners and respecting your opposition to keep a changing room clean.

How is it tinpot to expect a club to clean up their mess in their dressing room?

Cowley's legacy lives on at Concord Rangers I see.

Regardless of the fact Wealdstone should have cleared the dressing room, why post it on an official twitter account to try and show off? So weird.

The guy who runs that is an absolute melt. Tweeting after we played there: “Wow. Attendance of 500 today - shows what potential support there is here at Concord”. It was 150-200 above their average and we brought 150-200.

Celebrated their last minute equaliser as if they had won the league as well with their whole bench running on to the pitch.

Oh and their ground stinks of shit as well.

It’s good to see some things never change and one of those is the strange attitude of Concord Rangers. The first season we were in the same division as them (2010/11) they cried on various social media forums that we didn’t offer their players hot food after a match. Strange club with a chip on its shoulder.

Couldn’t they just have eaten that instead then?

They were upset with us for the same reason after we beat them in the FA Cup in13/14. Sandwichgate we called it.

 

[GTFCfish]

God help Concord if they ever have to play Boreham Wood.

 

[Atavistic]

I think this belongs here:

As a club we’d like to wish Lewis Keers all the best as he parts ways with the Nursery Inn. The young CB has been sentenced to 18 months in a youth offenders institution for attempted robbery. We wish him all the best and hope he comes out less of a fucking idiot.

Not even one of those satire club accounts either, as this is a real team from the Hartlepool Sunday League

How have they managed to get one of the greatest minds in football?

Cant see anything other than a swift Macc return to the Conference.

This has to be in here. How can you celebrate 9 consecutive draws in the league?

 

[Master D]

Well he's not won in 18 games and if that's the 'grilling' of the local journos then no wonder he's under no pressure at all.

You're in the relegation zone in tinpot Non League, wakey wakey.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Martin Allen sounds utterly defeated and deflated in that mini-interview.

Think this goes in here. Leinster Senior League clubs held a one minute silence for a player who wasn’t even dead.

Cheap point scoring which just reeked of sour grapes after being beat. It's all dusted down now since our manager has apologised but you'd have thought by some of the reactions on Twitter that the club had started World War III.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Really? I think he comes across as a man who can't be bothered either way and wouldn't mind the sack if it came.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

I can't stop watching that. I think it looks like MA is having existential crisis.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Really? I think he comes across as a man who can't be bothered either way and wouldn't mind the sack if it came.

I wouldn’t say that those two feelings are mutually exclusive!
Anyway, there’s even more to celebrate with Chesterfield’s unbeaten run being extended.

That's not really tinpot is it? Ukraine is obviously in a state of political and security turmoil and current conditions are hardly normal.
There have been other examples of Ukrainian clubs having to play their European matches far away from their home ground, such as Shakhtar Donetsk playing their Champions League matches in Lviv but that was planned further in advance than 2 days.

No, I agree but Poltava saying they may not be able to fufil the fixture is

 

[Vanni]

Agreed. DSL, I'm disappointed in you

I don't expect them to say well we may or we may not be able to fulfil the fixture, so we'll see come KO time. They obviously mean we can't get there.
