DrewDon Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Yeah, I'd definitely rather be a da than a stats nonce. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll be in the pub after games, sometimes with other mates’ actual da’s and this guy will be piping up about XG and packing stats or whatever. I’m probably closer to him than the auld yins in terms of how I view the game but I’m still tempted to pretend otherwise and call him a poof or something. A St. Johnstone fan perchance? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy statistics like xG in terms of performance of teams and players, but I'll never post stuff like this... I'm quite happy to admit I'm a "da" when at the match though. Id likely get chucked out if I were allowed into a restricted crowd as theres zero chance im not up shouting if someone stolen yards at a throw in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a w****r who quotes Inverting the Pyramid and talks about XG? Is it an #AMF w****r who despises the champions league, premiership and is more interested in 90s kit chat. I'm definitely the second kind of w****r The type I was thinking of falls firmly in the first category. I’d say being AMF is closer to football da territory but cutting about in 90s kits could probably be in the middle of a Venn diagram for both groups. 16 hours ago, GAD said: I always thought being an AMF type was a bit "yer da" to be honest (I also fall into this camp). The XG guys are the boring VLs who have no interest in the fun aspects of watching foot ball. I've always thought football hipsters are the guys who like German football (support Union Berlin) and talk about Enganches and Liberos. I like German football and have been to three Union Berlin games. I guess this proves everyone is either yer da or a hipster to somebody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I was at a Newcastle game in 2012 and there was a wonderful collective Da moment as the referee was pacing out the distance for a defensive wall... and only counted nine yards. The entire stadium erupted as 50,000 Geordie Das proved they'd been sitting there counting as he walked, just to keep him honest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Call for 'pay as you play' contracts for certain players, despite such things not actually existing (or if they do are exceptionally rare).

Yep, if clubs don’t do due diligence on potential targets and end up signing a permacrock then that’s on them. See The Caley and Sean Welsh. Or the other scenario where a club is looking to sign some mid 30’s ex Scotland international who is probably still wanting 5 large a week so the fans of the club he’s been linked with give it the PAYP shouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A96 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 When a player who has had a long term injury that AFC want to stay is nearing the end of his contract , yer da types will spout off nonsense about the player being obliged to show some loyalty as the club stood by him while he was injured.... as if the club would somehow have been within their rights to tell the player to fvkk off and sort out his injury problems himself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 A Dundee 'Yer Da' type is very easy to spot. They supported John Brown when he was at the club and still defend him to this day with, 'Aye, but who has a better win record?!' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
