Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Greenacres]

I can't be bothered to look for it right now, but there was one club, might have even been dortmund, where there was a cock up, and the toasters were making Barca toast... (was just FCB rather than the full badge, which would have been mightily impressive

Clearly a screw up at the factory (likely in china) which makes them all. Still funny though.

That would have been far funnier if it had been a Real Madrid toaster...possibly the same factory that declared bankruptcy after overdoing it on half and half scarves for an Old Firm derby!

This thread is brilliant.

This thread is better than brilliant, the Welling fans forming the word "C*nt" just made me spit my dinner all over my laptop.

This thread is brilliantly brilliant.

The Conference Twitter account (this evening).

The Conference Twitter account (this evening).

Why?

 

[Aberstone]

Feeling the need to talk about the AFCON and why Premier League teams are so reluctant to send their players over there. What does that have to do with the Conference?

I've also seen plenty of spats with supporters of Conference teams and whoever runs the account before. Wholly unprofessional.

 

[Southern Shayman]

The Conference twitter is an absolute joke. The bloke that runs it seems to live for arguments with supporters. How he's never been sacked I'll never know.

The Conference Twitter account (this evening).

You could leave out the "this evening". It's horrendously unprofessional most of the time.

That would be why I put it in brackets.

Considering it's the top league of non-league it's perhaps fitting that it's unprofessional.

Someone questioned them and they're telling him to unfollow. Bizarre behaviour. I know the chaps who run the twitter account of a Step 5 club and they wouldn't react like this - (even though it wouldn't surprise me if they sometimes wanted to).

It's brilliant isn't it? Braintree vs Alfreton for Valentines Day.

I once tried to ask a girl out by taking her to see Exeter City play a Fourth Division fixture at St. James Park. It didn't work.

She was called Tiffany and gave the best explanation of the offside law that I've ever witnessed.

Happy days.

My post above fully deserves to be in the tinpot thread.

It'll just complete the tinpottedness when Braintree's Valentine's Day match ends up taking place on a Thursday in late March due to the weather.

 

[Dave-Vale]

The Mansfield bus parade has to be top.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Our FA Trophy replay against Dartford has been moved to the Butcher's Arms, Droylsden for this Saturday.

We've been pushed into a corner with this one but still.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Yeah not the most exciting game to take your Girlfriend too is it?

Plus, there's nowhere in Braintree's ground that's remotely "VIP".

I took a girl out on a first date to West Ham v Liverpool back in 2000, drew 1-1 (Ruddock free kick iirc), then took her back to my foul-mouthed east end nan's house afterwards for a meals-on-wheels. Actually ended up married to her, so was a success.

Although the other thing I remember from the game was seeing Liverpool's new left back and thinking he looked pretty promising.... was Djimi Traore.

I don't know, they do have a Very Inferior Pitch.

I dunno, you can prove a lot of things with an single, out of context photo taken at the right time.

They outsourced that bit to Saffron Walden

 

[rudebwoyben]

Speaking of Saffron Walden FC...

I think a lot of the other mascots of bigger clubs were annoyed at this interloper winning the football mascots grand national as it's obvious that he was not wearing a proper mascots costume and therefore had an unfair advantage in terms of his mobility.

Yep, but that's not all. I don't think the words 'valentine' and 'football' should be in the same sentence.

Unless you treat your doesn't-like-football GF to a Valentines night at the West Ham hotel, in a converted executive box. Couldn't even sit out on the seats to see the pitch.

My mate's a Chester fan, took his girlfriend along to see them beat Prescot Cables at Valerie Park. She dumped him straight after.

 

[Southern Shayman]

I took my girlfriend to Chester away last year with the promise of a stay over and the zoo for Valentines Day. We lost in injury time and if pissed it down all day the next day

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

I've taken every one of my girlfriends through the past to watch Macc, and before the current one we'd never won any of those games. However, the current one has now reluctantly come to Eastleigh, Alfreton and Lincoln at home this year (won 2-0, 2-0 and 3-0). Needless to say I'm making sure she's available for several dates in May...
