Port Said Red Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 On a couple of the threads some posters were discussing whether certain transfer windows were good or bad, based on who we signed in that window. And it made me think of the "But Game" that was invented by actor Mark Strong. The original game is based on films and grew out of the credits you see at the beginning of a film. You will have seen "and" or "with" in film credits when a well known actor is going to play a minor role in a movie. In film terms you might say for example. Iron Man stars Robert Downey Jr. Terrence Howard. Jeff Bridges. "But" Gwyneth Paltrow. Obviously this could be turned around in another example where the "But" is a positive. In my version of the game you would do the same with players signed in the same transfer window, for example January 2014 we signed Karleigh Osbourne and James Tavernier both of which had a reasonable impact "but" Adam El Abd!
