Abingdon Town refuse to play after going 8-0 down to rivals Abingdon United

Tinpot AF although both Abingdon sides have struggled for some time. It is ridiculous that a town of that size has two clubs playing at different grounds.

To expand on this, I've been hearing that they actually just drove home at half-time and that they may have also resigned from the league at the same time.

I used to play for Abingdon Town some years ago when they were far from relegation fodder! Now they are a bit of a joke club, held together by some used sticky tape and dried porridge.

They have some promising things which could change the club, however the culture is all wrong and yes, the manager and players walked out citing issues with training facilities and a lack of internal support. Silly really; the club have been neglected for 15-20 years now.

Presumably, Blackadder and Baldrick are just out of shot.

Not sure our media team quite meant this as I and others read it.

Whoever thought that up should be arrested for the safety of the public.

That doesn't work on any level. Just shit.

I don’t even get how it’s supposed to be funny, just awful.

 

[BarraMatt]

Nowt worse than when your own club puts cringey tweets out for likes off the banter brigade.

 

[shoddycollins]

I just don't get why they haven't anyone in the whole of GTFC who can read a question, instead they have to use the robot voice.

Doesn't matter - seems the Twitter followers lapped it up!

They had to get it shipped in from that London. Its where all the book learning is.

Worst reason to call a strike ever.

Verona-Genoa will kick off 15 minutes late because the lines of the penalty areas are wonky and need re-painting. Serie A in 2020

 

[Vanni]

Now that's proper tinpot. They're a Serie A club ffs not some pub league side.

Ivo Graham's that squinty comedian is he? Seen him on telly a few times.

Best thing on that is the fact that Benda has very clearly gotten involved in the design of his sponsor seeing as how it's not quite in the top right corner so he can be 'saving it'.
