What's the biggest example of fragile masculinity you've ever seen as a football fan?

My dad's mate bought every single West Brom home shirt from 1981 until 2004, and only stopped because the t-mobile shirt sponsor logo was pink

Is "scanned by the barcodes" the worst of the 'you've been verb X'd by the nickname Ys' fad so far? It doesn't even work. Barcodes get scanned, they don't do the scanning. It's like saying you've been eaten by the dinners, or read by the newspapers. Rubbish.

I don’t want to be harsh, but the atmosphere at yesterday’s England game was a mixture of tinpot and pure Soccer Aid

I therefore cannot get too excited about the 7-0 win.

Why is there a wilhelm scream in this Uefa ad

At approx 5 seconds just as she blows the whistle, you can hear it in the background. You'll never be able to unhear it now.

Why is that there!

New Sean Dyche interview in the Sunday Times

Great, I'm sure he'll have a new and unique metaphor for changing tactical trends in modern football.

“Big centre forwards are coming back without a doubt,” Dyche says. “The way block defences are now, how do you break that down? It will go back to putting the ball forward, putting it in the box. I said three or four years ago, the next clamour will be for No9s and look now, everyone wants No9s again. It will be strikers who can link. Football is like skinny jeans and flared jeans. It all comes back around.”

Anthropological study of football shirts seen in a day at Chessington World of Adventures

Highlights of the day were seeing a Juarez shirt in the wild (Fair play, from a Pachuca fan) and the fact that the 5 Chelsea shirts were worn by a dad and his identical quadruplet daughters.

This has become the international break equivalent of the Boxing Day 1963 results

I have lost count of how many times I’ve seen this photo and the ‘amazing story’ attached to it on social media in the last two weeks.

Surely one of the worst corner flag pictures of all time from Gateshead here?

Way too zoomed in and the flag itself is dirty which is bothering me for some reason. If you’re going to take a properly close up picture of the flag at least give it a clean first.

Graham Scott police officer demeanour

Loved the new Graham Scott interview ep and he seems like a sound bloke, but I just cannot get over how much his demeanour, cadence and general vibe when talking about refereeing is like my ex-cop dad and uncles talking about the state and perceptions of British police.
Take the lines:
“Do they want consistency or do they want common sense?”
“It’s creating a culture where young [refs/cops] are going out there too scared to make a mistake rather than do something good.”
And the general sentiment of everyone has a comment about how to do the job but if they were there they wouldn’t last 2 mins…
