Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[rudebwoyben]

I wonder how the karmic forces of the universe look upon bored millionaires buying a club, discarding its identity whilst turning it into a media circus then financially doping its way through the leagues?

With a debilitating stomach bug on all of the squad of course!

I know Salford are very tinpot already but after their first defeat of the season yesterday this was their match report.

http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/salfordcityfc/teams/72445/match-centre/1-2183308
They seemed to be effected by a mystery bug that wasn't mentioned at all before the match.
"An unusually lack-lustre first-half performance was explained by 9 of the starting 11 suffering from the dehydrating after effects of a bug"

"The Ammies were leaving too much space for their opponents - courtesy of that energy sapping little bug "

Then they seemed to forget that a two footed challenge from behind is a red card no matter where you are on the pitch

" Skipper Simon Grand put in a challenge on Dieseruvwe, tight to the touchline on the right. With the Harriers’ man down as if poleaxed Grand protested his innocence to little avail as the referee produced Salford’s first red card of the season. It wasn’t a great challenge but the consensus amongst those more handily placed to view was that a yellow card would probably have sufficed."

They also didn't seem to like the fact they kicked us to the floor plenty of times.

"As for Kidderminster – they are a good footballing side with several players who look outstanding at this level of the game. They deserved the points today but it’s shame that their pacey, attacking football is tempered by a level of “gamesmanship” that strays a fair way beyond the acceptable. The Harriers may well be able to chase a quick return to the National League this season but they’re going to have to keep an eye out for karma as they go along…"

One of the most tinpot clubs I've seen who don't seem to like being defeated.

Their forum is even worse than their official site

If anybody wants to skip to 3:35 to see an example of our "gamesmanship" on what was clearly an overreaction from Mani as the Simon Grand won the ball with what was obviously a clean tackle , definitely now foul play there .

Edit At 4:20 there definitely wasn't a Nigel De Jong esque challenge on Ryan Croasdale. He obviously over reacted.

Fucking hate Salford.

Salford are sure tinpot. There ground should not be allowed in conference north, very sparse yet they spend a fortune on squad

Haha, fair enough. I haven't watched it yet, I might hate them too by the time I have.

I read this interview earlier. Tries far too hard to come across a "hard, no nonsense northerner" but in reality just an arrogant tool. My favourite bit Was about the new stadium:

As far as Reynolds is concerned, it was a case of “victimisation”. “I invested all my money and never took one penny out,” he says. “And the council said, ‘You’re a saint, Mr Reynolds.’ And then as soon as I got it built — state of the art — could I put concerts on? No. Blocked. Car boot sales? No. Nothing. Common sense tells you that you can’t run a business on a few hours a month.

Surely, considering he rates himself so highly as a businessman, he would have checked all this with the council before building? Common sense would tell you that. Goes on about greedy corporations yet has done time for tax evasion.

Reynolds got high intrest loans like risdale at leeds to build ground which he never paid as club went into administration. Reynolds aint no hard man at all. Always made mouth go but had heavies to do dirty work. He used to create a shit storm just to get in papers

Torquay fans tonight bringing a plant pot, taking it in turns to put it on each other's head and singing "he's got a plaaant pot on his head".

AIDS in its purest form.

Those zany Torquay fans!!! What are they like, hey?

"Southport substitution, sponsored by Domino's pizza..."

Also, a nice shout out to the guy in the crowd with a booming voice, who at kick-off bellowed "come on Southport, it's the start of a new era"

Sad to say i seen our fans do that

We were waiting for McNulty to bolt for the bench when they announced that during our recent game. Half the team certainly seemed distracted from that point onwards, anyway!

Always wondered with those sponsored substitutions whether they'd get annoyed if you had a manager who didn't like to make subs, or always made a triple substitution.

Less airtime for your company.

At least we made some f**king noise! ... it was like a bloody library (closed) until you took the lead.

Mansfield's regular appearances in this thread should be acknoweldged with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Contributions to Tinpottery.

 

[Forza Imps]

Mansfield are the most tin pot club. There's so much, their open top bus parade in front of no one, the "one call girls", naming their chairman man of the match, their chairman and now this. Incredible.

 

[DontBringBertie]

Yeah decent numbers and noise from you I'll admit.

Although, in addition to the plant pot MEGA BANTZ was the equally bad trying to fit Kevin Nicholson's name in to West Ham's Payet song.

We made a double sub, and they made the Dominos announcement twice. They missed a trick, they could have advertised their 2 for 1 meal deals...

I can tolerate sponsored subs, but I remember Doncaster sponsoring their goals, goal scorers, corners and free kicks a few years back. The whole game ran as a continuous blurge of sponsorship for 90 minutes.

How do you sponsor a corner or free kick?

Bolton used to have sponsored injury breaks, where if a player was receiving treatment, the big screen would show adverts for workplace accident lawyers.
