Tee Posted July 26, 2021 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
nige1968 Posted July 26, 2021 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

Expand 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

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
