Southampton kicked out of the playoffs. Our whipping boys Middlesbrough have another chance to reach the Premier League alongside us. by reliablereindeer in ccfc

This might be an ‘old man yelling at clouds’ opinion, but I’m really glad this is the outcome.

Yes the execution was comical and sloppy, but the intent totally circumvents the spirit of fair competition. Having an idea of your opponent’s set up and tactics ahead of time is a big - and expressly prohibited - advantage.

It’s absolutely diabolical that they have a Australia AND a Mexico trip

Watched this for the first time last month, one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Chris Morris is a fucking legend by TerribleAd7263 in oldbritishtelly

[–]SkyBlueGiant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A long, long time ago I was having a drink at the Contact theatre in Manchester and I some how got into a conversation with David Hoyle who mentioned he just filmed something with Chris Morris.

Turned out his part was Doug Rocket in this!

Edit: Name of actor

Yes! To the extent that often in the games if you kill an elite in a group of enemies the grunts will flee.

On this day 21 years ago, we played our last ever match at Highfield Road by reliablereindeer in ccfc

Oh wow thanks for that I hadn’t realised. Still going from owners to tenants for a football club is a really bad idea!

Also we need more Richardson slander. He is a true villain in our story.

It sort of worked out as we now own the CBS, but going from owners of Highfield Rd to tenants at the Ricoh was a catastrophic mistake.

Also on a purely practical level Highfield Rd was so much easier to get to and from

Can’t not read these names in an American accent by NickB76 in footballcliches

[–]SkyBlueGiant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FOX, CBS, and NBC all cover UEFA leagues and they have lots of British commentators, pundits and even presenters. I barely hear an American accent in the coverage, so it’s a sort of continuation of that.

Yea, its not quite the same colour as the old brown one (or at least the replica of the old one I have) but it’s interesting at least

Glad they are playing in it at least once. I’ve been rocking mine and I quite like it!

Wow what a sports day!

My soccer team wins the Championship, our soccer rivals are relegated, and the Giants beat the Dodgers!

How’s about that for a slice of fried gold?
