[Archived] Does Anyone Else Sit Next To One Of These?

[LynV]

There's an idiot sits next to us

There's an idiot sits next to us,

At the Rovers every week,

He doesn't really understand,

He thinks the future's bleak.

"Why's he playing Andrews there?

Get Pedersen off the park!

And why not sack the managet too?

He hasn't got the spark."

"Robinson you're too dodgy,

You just don't have a clue.

And McCarthy you're so lazy,

You shouldn't play in white and blue."

4-4-2 and 4-3-3,

The formation's always wrong,

But if the boss man changes it,

He says it took too long.

He's always yelling for offside,

Wants the linesman to proper look,

But if someone else dares yell offside,

Tells them to read the rule book.

He moans and moans and moans and moans,

Forever giving grief,

But when we go and turn it round,

Sits there in disbelief.

There's one thing I don't understand,

'Cos he could make a good few bob,

If he thinks he's so much better,

Why doesn't he go for the job!

This was written by my son Matthew at the bus stop waiting for a dental appointment! Do any other Rovers fans have one of these to put up with? :!:

There are MILLIONS of them !

We ALL know better

We ALL can see the flaws and plusses

We ALL could get it right

We ALL can see mistakes by the ref and linos

Just a pity that the management, whatever club your at CANNOT

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Good poem that. Made me laugh.

[Hasta]

I don't know who the guy is who sits next to you but he seems to have a fairly accurate opinion of a lot of the players.

Or maybe she sits next to you or a like minded individual

C'mon own up.... who sits next to Jim Mk2?

[Hasta]

Or maybe she sits next to you or a like minded individual

Doubt it, not unless she's got a tash.

[AggyBlue]

Don't sit next to one but this messageboard is full of 'em

[philipl]

Well done Matthew!

That poem deserves a wider circulation.

[LynV]

You Have pleased Matthew Phillipl. Any idea how I can get him a wider circulation then?

[James No. 7]

It could be added as a news item on the front page.

Try sending it to the football365.com mailbag.

You could also post it on the official message board.

[Jonnolad]

Absolutely great poem.

There's a bloke like that who sits behind me - there's a few all about if I'm honest. And I think we're safe to say there's a few on here too!

Out of interest Lyn - whereabouts do you sit (you don't have to be too specific!)?

[CrazyIvan]

I know a few who sit in the Blackburn End. Everyone is a football 'expert' though, it's what makes football conversations interesting

I don't know- might be worth finding out if anybody isgoing to do an anthology of football poems any time soon. Those sorts of books often come out for charity etc.

I've got this bloke behind me that shouts "bloody rubbish Rovers" all the way through the game whilst his son constantly kicks the back of my seat. This bloke screamed "sit down" at me at the Utd home game. Fair enough...but it was at half time!!
