Tee Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think it was just 'join date' in the early days, if i remember correctly, with watts coming a few years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige1968 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just realised that while I may have some way to go before I am a Grand Master (is that a Gretsch?) I have at least reached drawer-dropping status. Will set up a separate begging thread to build up my likes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the caretakery bloke showed me through he asked me which team I supported. When I said I couldn’t give a toss about football you’d have thought I’d confessed to shagging his missis. Probably worse actually. Edited July 26, 2021 by lownote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, as we all know in many football fan circles, anyone admitting to not being interested in footy often ends up being derided as a handbag waving 'nancy boy'/'p**ftah'/'fairy'/nonce' etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably worse actually. Yeah, I’m not into football really, I was competent enough to be on the school team, but I really have never had much interest in it. My lad is well into it and the other football parents (mainly the dads) treat me like a leper when I can’t discuss the inner workings of premier league teams and the failings of various managers etc. it is a “eurgh, what’s WRONG with you?!” Kind of reaction.

After that, I tried to keep myself abreast of transfer gossip and results from the previous weekend etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
