peter_hmfc Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Been thinking this for a while, so asides from the post in the "Clairevoyants" thread about Mansfield Town cancelling a psychic appearing in their club lounge ( ), what are some of the best and most tinpot things you've seen in football? The "Wealdstone Raider" getting a guard of honour has to be up there, and his very being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Most SPFL clubs (and I include Hibs in that) try to run their clubs professionally and above board. The people running our game are so scared of change as it will show them up to be complete ****ing imbecilles that I would class our administrators as a total tinpot outfit. Most teams get it wrong (including us) however most clubs have the best of intentions. The running of our game is so embarrasingly leant towards selling OF games is totally tinpot IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Internet Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Brogan's tour of New Douglas Park. Also not sure if this counts as tinpot but Chelsea having to give Utd's reserves a guard of honour was quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Landmesser Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 All-seater stadia where the seats aren't in the club colours because it was obviously cheaper to get the red & yellow ones or whatever. McDiarmid Park is especially guilty of this. Particularly because most of the seats are visible during a game.

Malinga the Swinga Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ian Murray having 1973 cut into his hair and then having to watch as his team conceded twice in injury time during the 4-4 New Years match. In fact, anything Ian Murray has ever done in a Hibs team. Hibs having a league cup trophy parade organised after they were going to beat us at Easter Road.

Bazzas right boot Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Tin pot- giving away 3 stands to the away team 11-1 voting system Playing each other 4 times A split that means all teams haven't played the same fixtures in a "league" set up. Allowing players and managers to brand fellow pros cheats and nothing happens. Having 2 teams winning the league for the best part 50 years, and one the last 15. Overseeing a steady decline at club and national level and doing nothing. 10k and 6k seater stadium rules, forcing one team to play at another with some crowds less than 1k in the top flight. The reverse of the above rule meaning a team never got relegated and one not promoted. Making fans s travel the breadth of the country at a time when there are no trains. Hampden. Allowing a liquidated team to continue. On short, Scottish football is so tin pot, we deserve so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
