Match Day Thread Brighton v Saints Sunday 21st May 2pm

Plenty of tourists and Liverpool fans will be there in the home end as per. Quite fitting really.

 

And on the pitch…

 

Ha-ha! - good job Dyce station is about 20 yards from the pub!

 

Kalamari Doyle comes on and no one make a fish pun. Frankly this forum has gone down hill.

 

Probably next week will be the last time.

 

I bet you a couple of squid they will come just to Brighton your day.

 

That's because squid aren't fish.

 

I might turn up just to see if I have the Chapel to myself

 

Don't clam up on us.

 

How did Doyle and Ballard do?

 

Said already, we’re not going & don’t think (pretty sure) I’ve never done that before (>50yrs). **** me; just read that back - how ****ing sad.

 

Yeah but Nige was our prick.

 

Barely touched the ball, because we didn't whilst they were on, until the last couple of minutes where we passed it around the back, because we were winning or something.

 

Dunno - its the first Saints game this season that I didn`t watch

 

Just got in. Great day out bar the majority of the actual football. Saints fans mainly in good voice and we had a fun 5 minutes or so until VAR turned up.

Really good to see Tino back. Hopefully Aribo never plays for us again.

UTFS

 

Sadly this fell on to the pitch quite early on in the game and the jobsworth stewards wouldn't give it back.

We want our **** back

 

Our team is so **** we can’t even find out whether new players are good or crap.

 

Nor are fish really, as fish isn't a defined thing.

'Tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) emerged within lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish as well. However, traditionally fish (pisces or ichthyes) are rendered paraphyletic by excluding the tetrapods, and are therefore not considered a formal taxonomic grouping in systematic biology, unless it is used in the cladistic sense, including tetrapods,[6][7] although usually "vertebrate" is preferred and used for this purpose (fish plus tetrapods) instead. Furthermore, cetaceans, although mammals, have often been considered fish by various cultures and time periods.'

I have too much time on my hands

 

Although Wikipedia define fish thusly: Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits.

 

That's one definition, and here's another from good old wiki

The English word once had a much broader usage than its current biological meaning. Names such as starfish, jellyfish, shellfish and cuttlefish attest to almost any fully aquatic animal (including whales) once being fish. "Correcting" such names (e.g. to sea star) is an attempt to retroactively apply the current meaning of fish to words that were coined when it had a different meaning.[citation needed]


Oh, and something something football related that I forgot because fish are more interesting than our current plaice in the football pyramid
