Never to the dark side Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 That takes some working out,and even more to solve/work it out. Always remember that the football league use to mess around with the officials on the day nearest to April fools day Some think like Mister Cassidy will be with Mister Kidd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Try Again coatpile Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 That is indeed magnificent - well spotted!!!! I didn't really want a post so early in my otib career to show me up as a pedant... but I wanted to see how many people will have replied to point out it's an acrostic rather than an anagram between me posting this and getting mod approval for it to go up. And how stupid it would make me look! Perhaps I'll just go back to looking not posting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Again coatpile Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thank you for your generous replies earlier.

Olé Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 11 hours ago, CyderInACan said: And if only Streatham Rovers were real Was wondering when someone was going to say it! It's not a real non-league football club, although they've produced a real shirt, it's completely made up, their Twitter feed for a number of years has been a work of epic satire, very dark humour and relentless trolling, they regularly try to get real footballing figures or the media to pick up on their stories, looks like they've hit the jackpot this time (I see this story was on Have I Got News For You too). If it's new to you, just go and read all the fine history of The Bill's Tosh Lines relationship with the club (he is named Taff Goose and is their manager). https://museumofjerseys.com/2018/08/30/streatham-rovers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
