@TheBreadmonkey@Schnuckster I am utterly football-blind and beyond the point of trying to pretend, so tend to puncture the tedium of my mates’ soccerliloquys with stuff like:
Them: [Team] are fucking awful
Me: I think they’re a smashing bunch of lads.
I also used to insist that I only ever wanted to discuss the fortunes of Burntisland Shipyard Amateurs, but they became Burntisland Shipyard FC, which doesn’t have the same ring. Things move fast in the modern game.
