P&B Out of the Loop

[Dindeleux]

Albert mongoose is a fucking bellend and one for the watching. Always starts off with animal cruelty. 

I have saved two wee mice from death in the jaws of my cat in the last week. One of which was about 10 mins ago. Both scuttled away with some badly broken legs though and I found what I'm guessing was the mum dead outside today (or a rat with a wee tail).

Living next to a field I should probably just let her do the work or I'll end up with them in my house but you can't just sit and watch a cat kill wee mice.



Unless you're Albert Mongoose of course who would probably have a wee chug whilst he sat there like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.

It's to do with some Hibs numpty on twitter constantly tweeting the Hibs correspondent at Edinburgh Evening News in an overly familiar way asking for signing updates.

"Hiya Pal, any news on Commons signing? NLGAWA"

Ask and you shall receive.

I'm going to point out the obvious and say my guess is the guy that composed that tweet probably isn't of full mental capacity.
Right, now that's out the way, who is Dudu Dahan then?

He played rhythm sitar on the George Harrison album, Concert For Bangladesh.

I recently had to explain this to me sister, a non football fan, whose boyfriend's father is a Dark Blue and kept going on about DABs- it stands for Dirty Arab b*****d and refers to the fans of Dundee United Football Club, the club being nicknamed "The Arabs" (perhaps because years ago the Tannadice pitch had more sand on it than grass).

Cheers!

What does NLGAWA mean? And why does Red Rob the angry *** keep putting a wee Bulgarian flag at the end of his posts?

Neil Lennon's Green And White Army?

They'll be typing entire sentences as an acronym at this rate (TBTESAAAATR).

Not sure if it's a P&B thing or just a phrase that hasn't made it this far north to the Highlands but what does 'sand-dancer' mean? Have worked out that it's an uncomplimentary term to describe a player, other than that I'm uncertain

It was doing the rounds in the Aiden McGeady days. I think it meant a guy who could do lots of fancy dribbling tricks, but didn't have any other football skills in his arsenal.

Makes sense! Many thanks, appreciated

Probably no connection but people in South Shields are known as sand dancers, apparently because the Roman fort there was originally manned by Syrians.

On a similar note, whatever happened to Aiden McGeady? I know he's at Sunderland, but he used to be P+B's resident bête noire, but I've not heard anyone bitch about him in ages. What happened?

I think I heard this being explained on Off The Ball before...

IIRC, it's basically used to describe those players who wouldn't look out of place doing all the fancy flicks and tricks on the beaches of Brazil, but who would be utterly hopeless in an actual game.

Now you mention it, that does sound familiar, I think I do remember that. I can vaguely recollect Tam saying "Ah've heard sand-dancer used in a different context..." before Cosgrove cuts him off with his usual faux outrage. Petty and ill-informed - and pish on a number of levels - I do enjoy Off The Ball

He was at Preston last season.

I know that m9 is a logical extension of m8, and I know that the fondness for m8 is derived from Supras calling people meight, which is in itself derived from Swampy doing the same thing, but why did he start? For a long time whenever I saw "meight" I thought it was supposed to be some weird pronunciation of mate rather than spelling out the number.
