scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I know this is the unpopular opinions thread but if they actually did this, I think I'd probably just go 'aye fair enough' tbh.And probably kill more folk than Covid would? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 2 hours ago, throbber said: I just always found him quite gangly and clumsy, his feet stick outwards a bit too much and he wasn’t good in the air for someone who is quite tall. People claimed he was as good as Ronaldinho around 2006 time which was just nonsense. That's enough of this particular piece of attention seeking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Unpopular opinion- Getting called English when abroad isn’t an insult. The difference between Scottish and English people is diminutive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 It’s not attention seeking I just have made my point poorly - I just think his feet pointed out a little bit too much a bit like a duck and think he was a one trick pony.What was the trick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between Scottish and English people is diminutive. Does anyone think they've been called English when abroad as an insult?Given that English folk abroad are yobbish b*****ds, then yes, I do take it as an insult. I'm not offended by it tbh but I do correct people if they get it wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Haha no that's Joe Cardle you silly boy!And it fucking worked.Nah, Henry was way more skilled than that ffs. His weakness is in the air but he never ever played the game that way, Wenger had the ball into his feet. When you're as skilled as him, you more than make up for being able to Flick the ball on with your head. Playing on the left side and cutting in on his right foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloret de Mar a few years ago Spanish Bar Pusher "Hey! HEY! ENGLISH! come in here, have a beer!" My mate "We're Scottish, no English" SBP "Nae borr Big man, am sorry boot that" Ended up going in for a pint due to how quickly he turned it in. Good show. Pint was shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 When abroad I've been mistaken for a German. Fine by me. "Englisch? Wir haben mehr Weltpokal than those arschloche!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Academically Deficient Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 In Barcelona once I was mistaken for an American. Guy was very disappointed when I corrected him. In America I was assumed to be Australian. No worries. To avoid being regarded as English on a European holiday, just avoid the following: Asking why there's no fackin' chips on the menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I avoid being confused for an Englishman abroad by not being purple faced and not throwing deckchairs in the middle of the afternoon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the spectacle of an obese, ruddy faced southerner having his kebab taken off him and being told to get out of "the best kebab in marmaris" for complaining that "that's not a facking kebaaaab!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 What's the split of opinion re Donner Kebabs? I personally think they are absolutely magnificent, and there is absolutely no requirement to be drunk in order to eat one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he tell you of the sexual encounter known as The Slovakian Traffic Cone? If not, you'll have to search Urban Dictionary for it as I'm afraid I'm not brave enough to post it on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
