Yes, but you seldom use first names. Pretty much in-keeping with the type of adult who has favourite players off the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I call all my friends a variation of either "Peado", "shagger" or "poofter". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really though is it.... I do have favourite players off the tele, Messi, Ronaldo, Scott Brown. What's wrong with that?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Monkey Tennis is old and boring. Surely. Surely as someone who likes and enjoys football, he has atleast 1 or 2 favourite players he likes that don't play in Scotland or for QotS..!

RedAndYellow Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Pat bonner - 3/6/16 "Partick thistle are going to get relegated this season, Unfortunately, it's going to be the same teams fighting relegation. It might just be Thistle and Hamilton propping them up at the end of it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I hit the age of seven and had outgrown the practice of having such a thing. I'd say that makes me middle aged and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 My favourite telly player is Sly Stallone in Escape To Victory. His positioning is awful, and he shuts his eyes when attempting a save (bit like Jamie Langfield) but he has a "presence" and likes "to put himself about a bit" whilst "making himself big" for penalties. Also one of the best fitba tops ever. Could someone get us back on topic please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 'Punching above their weight' is quite a misleading one. If a smaller club or country have been playing consistently at a level for as much as 10-15 years or even as little as 5 years in a top league or consistently one of the last clubs left in a cup competition then no they are not 'Punching above their weight' they are where they are supposed to be.

This. I was going to post something similar a few weeks ago when they talking about St Johnstone 'punching above their weight' but forgot. This is the same St Johnstone who have consistently finished in the top 6, have been in Europe quite a bit and won the Scottish Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It usually goes hand in hand with 'big club deserves to be in the top flight. So just as a smaller club earns year after year a higher league placing than bigger club who might have been very successful 40 years ago who has ended up relegated through their own fault. I don't understand why clubs with more/bigger supports supposedly deserve more in some peoples eyes than clubs with less supporters, it should be down to how the team plays on the pitch and the results that team gets. I think some people struggle getting their head around any kind of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our media and the shite pundits seem obsessed with the past and seem to think that it has some relevance. Note that they are selective about the periods of the past they talk about mind, as they aren't clamouring for the likes of Queens Park (the most successful club in Scotland for years) or Dumbarton (won the first ever top flight) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its why we are still stuck with the idea that Aberdeen and Dundee Utd are and should be top clubs in the top league regardless that the last really successful era for these clubs was the 80's and early 90's 25 to 30 years ago, that's a long time ago as football seasons go and it was a completely different era.
