Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[SouthCarolinaStone]

On Sky Sports News scrolling accross the bottom of the screen:

European Championship qualifiers, group D: Australia 2 Nigeria 0

I blame Eurovision for that. A completely tinpot competition

 

[City169]

at a bristol manor farm game a few years ago i was stood in the cover between the dugouts and the manager turned to me and asked if i knew the score (they were 3-6 down at the time, it finished 4-7)

Yet another Isthmian/Ryman fuck up. This time in their team of the year...

So Tom Pett got into the Ryman Premier Team of the Year, however:

1) He signed for Stevenage last summer.
2) We were promoted from the league the year before.

Uh-oh, Boreham Wood had a parade to celebrate their play-off final win. And there's pictures:

Britain is in Europe. Australia is (despite what they may think) a colony of Britain. So why shouldn't they compete in the Eurovision?

 

[Pliny Harris]

Fair play to Borehamwood. Teks balls to do that with a 200 core. I'd be worried about how embarrassing the crowds would be if we tried it on. Then again several thousand gathered at the Town Hall when the open top bus dropped our players off there in our 97/98 Conference promotion season.

The National League Twitter page admin reeks of the kind of dad on weekend custody who refuses to let his kids get Twister lollies off the ice cream van in the park to spite them for nagging him for a go on the pedalo boats all afternoon.

Yep so according to him then Barrow to Torquay or ice-versa on a Tuesday Night is "Just a fixture". Id like to see him do it. c***.

i didnt realise that 1 joke qualified as an obsession. I told a joke about a frog the other day, does that make me obsessed with frogs too?

anyway, lets not derail the thread because of you wanting there to be something there isnt

Cardiff City have just released their new home kit, and having seen it I'm pretty chuffed we released ours a couple of weeks prior...

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

Typical tinpot Halifax, copying Cardiff's kit...

 

[Luke Imp]

Not sure whether this constitutes full on tinpotness, but I think Omar needs to brush up on his autograph skills (unless I'm mistaken and a 5 year old has just wrote that on there).

To be fair, non-league players autographing things is a little tinpot in and of itself.

Nothing unusual or tinpot about that. If anything a little surprising that Cardiff don't quite have the clout to get Adidas to keep that one off the catologue for their first year of using it as is the norm for the big brands. Or is this an old Chelsea kit recycled to both clubs?

We're just paying extra for a brand new template rather than using the old ones like most clubs at this level.

Currently at £107 on Ebay with a day to go, to add to the promotion fund.

Surely the most tinpot thing of all time is if your club tweets out something like you're going to sign Messi on transfer deadline or something in a way to get retweets. I swear Yeovil Town and Preston do it every year.

If a club does that they should be liquidated with immediate effect.
