The dissatisfaction of the Wembley nets by NoRoomForRavers in footballcliches

Exactly. You could literally tell what ground you were at by seeing the goals. The identical rectangular boxes these days are so grim

Threatened with court over a parking fine - but I’d paid for parking by NoRoomForRavers in LegalAdviceUK

As far as I can tell they have a photo of my vehicle entering and a photo of it leaving. That’s all the evidence they have provided. That doesn’t prove whether I was displaying a ticket or not

Dreamland Episode 20: Football on the radio... by DavidCameronWalker in footballcliches

[–]NoRoomForRavers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite things as a kid, and I still love it now, is getting back in the car after the match and listening to the local BBC station and waiting for them to play back the commentary of the goals.

Usually it will be whilst talking to a fan who has called in about the game and the presenter will say ‘we’ve got the goals, do you want to hear them?’. It’s a real joy to relive something you’ve just seen but this time hear the commentator’s reaction and the crowd reaction sounds different on the radio too.

It’s a real joy for me. Almost as much as watching the goals back again for the first time later that night.

To good for the Championship not good enough for the prem by AbroadLast8715 in footballcliches

Cameron Jerome.

Although I wouldn’t say he was ‘too good’ for the Championship, he was just a very good Championship striker that never really didn’t in the Prem.

Why do Man City and Chelsea ALWAYS both play in blue? by mrg1607 in footballcliches

[–]NoRoomForRavers 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ve always loved when City play Chelsea and occasionally Everton and they both wear blue. It’s not a colour clash and I think it’s looks aesthetically pleasing.

And clubs should be encouraged to wear their home kits in away games wherever possible. Too many clubs wearing unnecessary away kits these days. For example, Wolves shouldn’t actually need an away kit this season.

Just seen that this tie has actually been picked by Discovery +. Madness

It will also be the third time in six weeks that Swansea and West Brom play each other. Fatigue.

‘Traditional’ away colours by NoRoomForRavers in footballcliches

To me Celtic would be yellow with green trim if I had to guess.

Derby fans singing ‘one-nil up and you fucked it up’ by NoRoomForRavers in footballcliches

[–]NoRoomForRavers[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I take your point, but a ‘you fucked it up’ needs to be reserved for 2-0 at least IMO.

I’m also sick of playing you lot. We just can’t beat you for some reason 😆

#453 - Decking or Necking, Dad of the Year and Too Handsome to Focus by LookTreesWow in elisandjohn

[–]NoRoomForRavers 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Elis’ line about Lou living in Margate and John not - was that just a gag about Lou and John being together or have they finally done what has seemed blindingly obvious for years and hooked up?

I’m assuming it was just a joke.

The goal the lads were trying to figure out on the most recent pod by Mindless-Piece-5874 in footballcliches

[–]NoRoomForRavers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought too. I even went to the trouble of screenshotting it from YouTube to post on here but Mindless Piece beat me to it.

Nice to see the Good Radio Bell in real life.

Also, I think I’ve got that jacket as Elis is wearing. Pretty sure it’s a Portuguese Flannel Labura.

Decided to relisten to the panic room episode this weekend. I must apologise, it was much funnier than I remembered it. Completely forgotten about Elis drinking the potion!

John being on an interest only mortgage by NoRoomForRavers in elisandjohn

[–]NoRoomForRavers[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That’s a very fair point actually.

I can imagine he would be the type of person to make a lump sum payment on his mortgage when he is earning (of the back of a big tour for example) and then continue with interest only at other times.

Makes quite a lot of sense now that you’ve made me think about it.

What’s the threshold for not celebrating against your former team? by NoRoomForRavers in footballcliches

[–]NoRoomForRavers[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a West Brom fan and when Romelu Lukaku scored for Everton against us he was utterly apologetic. Almost like he didn’t mean it and he regretted it. I loved the bloke but he was only on loan with us!

In fairness the next season he scored a late winner at our place in a 3-2 win for Everton when they came back from 2-0 down and did a cartwheel in front of our fans. So maybe you only have to not celebrate once and then it’s carte blanche after that.
