In 57 years of the thing being run 5 Scots have won: Ian Black, Jackie Stewart, Liz Mccolgan, Chris Hoy, Andy Murray (only person to win three times) P&B meme favourite McColgan beat Will Carling and Lineker... The most popular sport in the world has only had five winners: Bobby Moore, Gazza, Michael Owen, Beckham, Giggs. That's the same with cycling although with less drugs (if you ignore Gazza) To win it helps to be English and taking part in athletics. One standout is a Kiwi speedway rider who finished runner up in the 1960s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I drove through the Clyde Tunnel for the first time in ages today, but forgot to switch back to the radio from Spotify, which meant that the traditional game of “pick up song” was ruined.

Ad Lib Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 English football crowds: Every opposition substitution announced on the Tannoy, crowd shouts “who?” megacringily after both the sub off and the sub on name. Similarly, instead of just trying to put a goalie off at a goal kick, you get “oooooooooooooooooooh yore shiiiiiiiiiit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah”. It’s like GBH of the ears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s what I find nauseating about it. At a Scottish game you might at least get: ”What a shitey home support” ”You’re supposed to be at home” ”Shall we sing a song for you” ”Can you sing a wee bit louder over there” ”Is this a library?” All of which can be a bit lame, but at least don’t sound like you’re 6 and have just learned two swear words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The only time "What a shitey home support" is remotely amusing is when it's sung at a packed stadium like Ibrox. Other than that it's another tedious chant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part is it seemed to get a really good reaction from them as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
