Guest The Phoenix Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Are you saying the solution is to do it via a paypal account then? A solution is to do it via a paypal account. Probably the best solution as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Since I've been going to football games, I've always been aware of the referee being called a 'homer' (normally by old men). I originally thought it meant homosexual, but you still hear it today so I'm presuming it can't mean that. So, what does the insult 'homer' actually mean? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 In favour of the home team... Unsure if that's a serious suggestion or not, but these shouts come from home fans at Ochilview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never entered my head to give it a homesexual link. I'm an old man, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 There's a few old men who shout that at Victoria Park. Always assumed it meant the referee was a homo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't think of anything else. It's not an insult I've ever heard outside football and the 'giving decisions in favour of the home team' doesn't make any sense give it's the auld b*****ds at Ochilview that should it when we're clearly the home team (or maybe not v Shire). They're probably just idiots who have taken it's real meaning and turned it into an generic insult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably just idiots who have taken it's real meaning and turned it into an generic insult. I've used the expression to mean biased in favour of the home team at most sports I've been involved in over the years - football, cricket, hockey to name but three. The suggestion it could be in reference to homosexuality has come as a major revelation to me. Perhaps the proximity of Ochilview to the former Bellsdyke Hospital could be a causal link? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudge Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Safe in the knowledge I'm not shouting anything dodgy, I'm going to shout 'referee, yer a homer!' as many times as I can at every match from now on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some octogenarian shouting this at New Broomfield yesterday from the Sons end, over and over again. I didn't have a scooby what he meant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 If you walked, ran and cycled the same distance would you use the same amount of energy? well, according to the old Scottish Executive advert, "walking a mile uses the same number of calories as running a mile" and according to an episode of How To that I saw many years ago a human on a bicycle should be able to outlast a human in a car and a human on foot. So, using those examples (admittedly flimsy though they may be) I'd say walking and running use the same and cycling uses less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
