Nice picture. I like how the Hibernian girl is looking scared and holding the wrong part of the sword. Very similar to how Hibs are playing at the minute.


Why is the Blackburn Rovers girl brandishing a knife???

HA.

Why on earth would anyone even remotely associated with Fratton Park be waving a wad of cash?

It would immediately be confiscated and handed over to Sacha Gaydamak.

That moment when you're too busy with other stuff to write RP posts for the World Cup and your team starts to lose every match as a result.

That moment when you play two top 35 teams in a row, still RP but to no result...

However, your problem is more annoying... You know what happens, you know that if you miss just a few points in the end, you could've avoided it. You, sir, are going to kick yourself in the end.

I'm not sure a £5 note constitutes a wad of cash though. ;)

Not still bitter at Pompey reserves losing to Fulham on the final day of the 2007-08 season and Reading going down and you can't prove anything.

Someone threw a pound coin onto the pitch at Ibrox. Police are still trying to ascertain whether it was intended as a missile or a takeover bid.

It seems I need to clarify this again...

Fr. is not an abbreviation for 'Friar'.

It's an abbreviation for 'Father'.

'Friar' is a purely Catholic term with no applicability whatsoever to Orthodoxy.

I imagine you will have to clarify every time a new RPer engages with THE / Arch since most are not well versed in such matters (I recall your TG to me after making the precise same mistake, and that directly after correcting someone else on this thread!)

Perhaps a note in your roster - if there isn't already?

It only happened once or twice in WCs 24-55; I'm baffled as to why it's coming up so much now.

But yes, perhaps in future some form of roster clarification...
