Beefy's Corner.......For all off Topic threads

Yay, Brockenhurst College off

Snow coming down quite heavy here, and settling quite well ... not good for the footballing weekend though!

 

Fair play to him!

 

When was that game a few years back when we played away in a blizzard. Was on tv and we were winning and they kept saying...it must be called off. They finished the game, thank goodness.

 

Birmingham last year?

 

Doesn't every town have a strange nutter who wears shorts, socks and sandals through the winter? The one here at least wears proper shorts, the one in Horsham wore tiny, revealing shorts...very disturbing (and not in a nice way).

 

I'm thinking of one a bit earlier that that.

 

Crap paper the Express has an article saying we are the only PL club without undersoil heating therefore Monday's game could be frozen off. They suggest we should not have been promoted! At work so can't post a link.

 

I remember a snowwy game at the Dell when Matty just broke into the team. Even in the snow he was brilliant.

 

Your productivity must be through the floor.

 

Tea break!

 

Early 90's, mid-Feb, game has just started against a Liverpool side with the likes of Fowler, MacManaman, Barnes etc with a light snowy blizzard in the air and....

**** ME!!! GOOOAAAALLLL!!!!! LE TISSIER!!!!

...after only 26 seconds. Another piece of Southampton folklore from Le God. Went on to finish 4-2 with snow laying all over the pitch and the need for the orange ball. Oh yeah, and with Matty getting a hat-trick. Legend.

 

Pure magic. Games at the Dell at night and in the winter could not be bettered.

 

What time did you start work for FFS?

 

6.30 must be lunchtime soon!

 

I was in the land of nod at that time and have only now just finished my bacon and eggs.

 

Undersoil heating was not installed to save costs and because it is hardly ever an issue in the South. How many games can you remember being cancelled? I believe they said at the time that the channels are already under the pitch for the system to be installed later, but suspect that they would need replacing now. Hardly a reason to block promotion though!

 

Thanks, Godders. It was the Liverpool game. The commentator kept mentioning that the game should be called off...I ended up screaming at him to shut the **** up.

 

Huh, apparently Loughborough had an earthquake last night.

Some people just have to be different.
