I don't mind jokes being made when relevant and on topic, the game of thrones reference stuff fine, just a joke or two, but when it's dentist jokes, teeth puns which are totally irrelevant it's just annoying.

Well the question of what's relevant is a whoooooooole other debate. Since the Iceland coach is a part time dentist, you can't say it's that much more irrelevant than a TV character that his name sounds like. But for the most part I agree with you, I don't want an argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier in the thread, it`s got echoes of JK`s signing last year. A random tweet one evening that gathered so much pace that the club had to announce it.

There's no real news as such, just posts on twitter no matter how credible they are, there is no official news from our club. As soon as there is, if there is, I'm sure one of us will amend the thread title and move to Football Chat as we did for Tomlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in for an argument either but I think there a huge difference, a person of the same nationality is a part time dentist, vs someone with the same first name (different name, but thread had it wrong and the same as the game of thrones character, so anyone who hadn't heard of the player before would have thought it was the same name, and a name most people would probably only be aware of because of said TV show.) On topic, would be very happy with this signing, a few Serie A clubs were interested in signing him from Juve in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right I agree, these jokes/puns should be extracted from this thread. Promising signing, can't imagine he'd want to make it up if there's nothing in it.

Whooooossshhhh Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just looked at his show reel, or whatever the footy equivalent is. Seems to like putting forwards on their backsides. Can't figure out how he's survived the Italian league without a lifetime ban.......... unless the little tinkers have put a stop to their rolling about on the deck when lightly brushed by a hairy arsed defender. Interesting thread, but knowing our forum history it'll have no substance. Hope I'm wrong as usual though. Sorry, can't think of any witty puns just now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Johnson had said there was a couple he hoped could be announced this coming week, could be Magnusson is one of those.
