Unfortunately, this is largely true. Lived there for a few years and binned it off in the end for this reason. Many great things about Australia, sadly pretty much all of them are nothing to do with the people. In any case, most Australians will be like most foreigners in general and have absolutely no idea what the Old Firm fans are singing about. They'll just see flags and colour and hear noise. They'll probably think it's great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two could play each other on the moon and there would still be trouble. Another great advert for Scottish football…… Most Aussies won't know its on. 75% of the crowd will be Scottish ex-pats, the rest a mix of football nuts and freeloaders on corporate packages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get the ball rolling with the Toni Macaroni arena! Cringe-tastic Quote there is the opening post of this thread. Emirates and Etihad stadiums in England, named after the Dubai and Abu Dhabi state airlines. f**k that. I'd rather have the funny name of a Scottish restaurant chain. It's mental that folk think Tony Macaroni sponsorship is cringe yet are impressed by English clubs whoring themselves for UAE, currently bombing the life out of Yemen alongside Saudi. Spaghettihad > Etihad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sinister Premier League shite is afforded validity by default because folk are wowed by wealth and power. (Of course "Toni Macaroni Arena" is daft/diddy/tin pot and funny, I'm not arguing against that!).

topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) As a restaurant brand "Tony Macaroni" is supposed to sound like a bit of a joke. It was deliberately chosen to sound like that It seems to be saying "You can relax, we don't take ourselves too seriously here". Supporters of Livingston FC will be able to comment on how well that ethos carries over to their match day.

Incidentally, I've wondered if that lack of opprobrium from fans factored into Omeonga choosing the club. 34 minutes ago, topcat(The most tip top) said: Livingston technically has a town centre , ... etc...

Fittingly, the first Tony Macaroni was opened in East Kilbride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Tony Macaroni is just fine as a restaurant. Italian food is hugely overrated though. Pasta is pasta and pizza is, in essence, cheese on toast. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
