RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 19-01-2025
That backheel. Brilliant. Even though he was a United legend, that was probably his most iconic goal.

Yeah think Shankly wanted to take him to Liverpool with him. Now there is a thought.
Those were the days when English club scouts had a proper network up here and got a lot of good players. Even Celtic and Rangers didn't have that kind of system then. So many players went from nowhere in Scotland to big clubs in England. Lorimer and Gray went straight to Leeds from school for instance.
I know Law had Charlton and Best with him but i genuinely think he would have been a top player anywhere.
His humour was also legendary - not only was he gently poked fun of on "Only an excuse" up here "The reactions of a mongoose, with the face and hairstyle to match.."
But he came out with some classics himself such as at Best's funeral "I wouldn't be surprised if he turned up today"
The game badly misses characters like him.

More plans for the stadium, including moving the club shop into the Rope Walk.

Whatever this guy is drinking/smoking/eating can we buy it at a football ground kiosk near you soon?

And consume it at your seat?
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 05-02-2025
Wow!
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 05-02-2025
Tommy Smith has announced his retirement.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - theo_luddite - 05-02-2025
Thanks for that Snoots. Just read why on the Beeb's Boro pages. Didn't realise he'd been out injured for so long. He might as well go now at the back end of a contract and get an insurance pay out because he won't get one in the summer when he's out of contract.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 05-02-2025
Neither did I. Fifteen months out.
RE: Not The Town O'Clock News - Lord Snooty - 05-02-2025
Scott Arfield has gone back to Falkirk.

Rooskens seeing the surgeon next week, “it doesn’t look good” were DuffMans words.
Healey having surgery next week and is probably out for the season.
