It seems completely unrelated to the subject - and just thrown in there as if reading a book, like starting a fashion line, is very unusual and left-field ! It's like saying, "I work with a person who likes sushi, so I'm going to start a record label." I'd like to think there's a whole paragraph that's been left out of that story. Either that or Partick Thistle players will take any excuse to to start their own clothing line based in Ashton lane.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Osman probably took one look at Martin Woods' clobber and realised that drastic action was needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dindeleux Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Not really tinpot, but every year one British media outlet (usually BBC Sport) seems to think that Hibernians of Malta is Hibs, so they always put "Hibs face Red Star Belgrade in Champions League Qualifier" or whoever in the headline. Quite amusing imo I remember the BBC reporting that Hibs had lost 7-0 at home to Malmo in Europe when it was the mob from Malta.Right? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Quite amusing tin-pottery from the announcer at Livi today, as they announced the player being substituted off's sponsor over the public address. That's quite tin pot in itself tbh, but when the player replacing him is announced along with "sponsorship still available" it takes it to another level... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordfishtrombone Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Dundee playing crowd noise over the tannoy in the Dundee V Falkirk game in the Scottish Cup to drown out the Falkirk away support. We got pumped eventually but in 30 years of watching football I have never before or since heard a club playing crowd chants over a tannoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Dundee playing crowd noise over the tannoy in the Dundee V Falkirk game in the Scottish Cup to drown out the Falkirk away support. We got pumped eventually but in 30 years of watching football I have never before or since heard a club playing crowd chants over a tannoy. I've seen us be accused of this a few times. Are you sure it wasn't just this song? It was a 'medley' we regularly played during that era. I suppose it can be considered a minter, but it was never something we purposely played to inject a bit of life or drown opposition fans out. If you want to talk Dundee minters though, Dundee were blasting out the Champions League theme when we came out against Perugia at Dens in the UEFA Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30-year-old midfielder recently returned after an operation on a shoulder injury picked up in August. "When you are out a long time, you always try to find other things to do," said the Ghanaian.

It seems unrelated to the subject - and just thrown in there as if reading a book, like starting a fashion line, is very unusual and left-field ! I get what you mean and when I first looked at the article the other day I scratched my head but I *think* it's meant to read more along the lines of (possibly been cut down in editing?): "When you are out a long time, you always try to find other things to do off the pitch" "Our keeper, Tomas Cerny, talks a lot about how passionate he is about reading outside of football, and how it helps him keep busy when he's not fit to play, so I thought to myself "well, I'm really passionate about my fashion, so why not try to do something in that field?" ... which tbf still leaves the mention of reading as pretty superfluous but maybe makes a little bit more sense?

Ludo*1 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I always thought Beto Carranza was Dundee's best player He was amazing on his day. Very injury prone and not Giorgi Nemsadze went against him though. Actually - there's a tinpot thing. Nemsadze, one of the most talented midfielders to grace Scottish football. Before we signed him, he'd previously had a failed trial at Hibs. In which they played him at CH ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
