Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Techno Natch]

That's brilliant.

Not necessarily tinpot, but quite funny.

Yesterday marked 150 days since our proposed 'billionaire' takeover was announced.

At the game today, they finally showed up

Not really tinpot. If an official gets injured this happens all the time. The person in the crowd who steps out always has to be a qualified official, but the rules otherwise are that the game is abandoned. Seems weird to me that it's getting a lot of press for something that happens a lot.

Happened in our live TV game with Macclesfield, Lino got injured so a fan stepped in as 4th Official

Why are they using a stock photo of the West Stand at the HIve?
It's got nothing to do with us!

Yep, Mike Dean's gone on fourth official duties at a few of our games in the past due to this happening.

Has this been done yet? Mossley FC's new mascot, Mossley Marv:

I put it there purely to wind up Urban.

Apparently the fabulous Mossley Marv is meant to be an LED light. Light emitting diodes have no connection to the parish of Mossley, but play along with it.

I've got a soft spot for Mossley. The first away game I went on following FC Halifax Town, we lost 3–1 and our players squabbled with each other throughout. I also took a Californian friend there for his first ever glimpse of association football. It was a friendly, he mistook mushy peas for guacamole and we were treated to a Mossley official singing Nessun Dorma on the pitch at half time in his dinner jacket. That may sound irrevocably tinpot, but his pipes were incredible! I suppose my friend also got to see the current Premier League top scorer play on a lumpy glue league pitch too. Terrific little place.

Not all countries are lucky enough to have the St John's Ambulance to assist with match-day proceedings....take Greece for example:

Tie a bit of string to the top of his head and he'd be the spit of a tampon.

I remember Mossley for completely different reasons! Made my first team debut for Curzon Ashton there in a local derby, got spanked 5-1!!! I was being marked by Mark Bradshaw who some of you may remember from the non-league circuit many years ago, someone who's name I'd been singing from the terraces at Macc just a few years previous! Oh and he megged me!

This really is an impressively terrible mascot. Why have a lion or an eagle why you can stick some eyes on a foam cylinder? So half-arsed that they couldn't even be bothered to give the poor chap a face. No wonder it looks so thoroughly pissed off.

In fairness you still need to have a lot of natural talent just to have the privilege of being megged by a falling non-league star on a bobbly pitch. Curzon vs. Mossley has been a big derby for a while, but I guess that rivalry will soon fade.

You've also reminded me of a posh lad from Mossley who played in my brother's junior team back in the day. He described his family as the "Mossley Mafia" with a straight face. He once turned up to training a bit confused. There'd been an accident at home where he and his family were trying to clean one of their chandeliers. He told this teammates from the local council estates how in a bid to make the chandelier sparkle again, they'd put the whole thing in the dishwasher.

It was a bobbly pitch!! I remember hitting the bar with a free-kick in injury time, fair to say the home support enjoyed us missing one final time in the game!

Ally Pickering was in charge of Mossley at the time, but was out the door just a couple of weeks later, allegedly spending the majority of his weekly playing budget on a little something for himself.

Awesome work by the club. Shits on the new Star Wars trailer.

Aye, I won't have a bad thing said about Mossley, smashing little club.

Probably my favourite Evo-Stik away day, can still see some of our fans staggering up that hill from the railway station now. Seel Park is actually a decent ground at that level too, one of the few to offer some elavation to watch the game and a good covered terrace behind the goal. Great little veranda from the clubhouse at the top the teracing in the corner too, can stay and watch the whole game up there with a pint in your hand.

One of our supporters turned up wearing this on Saturday - which as protest efforts go is definitely right up there.

Gloucestershire ambulance service,

taking 85 minutes to turn up to our fa youth cup game last night with one of our players having a suspected broken back...

Poor kid might not walk again!

That's he of the highlights reel fame! Now I can put a face to the speech impediments.

Seriously though, whoever dreamt that up needs a kicking.
