I was chatting with a steward during the game. No idea of the credibility of what he was saying but he did look handy with a sack of grit. It was also difficult to hear him as our support was so effin loud đđ¤đ but Iâm sure he said the officials considered an orange football but there was an issue with it clashing with some of the players boots.
We can relocate, dig down, build a new ground in Monmouthshire, and rebrand ourselves as Cwmbran Park Rangers but weâd still rest players and bomb out of the Welsh Cup Round 1 to Blaenau Ffestiniog FC or whoever.
Hereford won the Welsh Cup in 1990. Shrewsbury used to win it fairly regularly in the 70s & 80s. Neither of them qualified for Europe (sadly in my opinion, Hereford v Osasuna would be the Ernest Hemingway derby). If any of the sheep-shaggers won the FA Cup I doubt theyâd be allowed that route into Europe if they also have the Welsh Cup route. I could be wrong. Cmon someone tell me what I should be getting angry about here.
Probably one for the âdid you know?â thread but âshagâ is a term of endearment in Hereford similar to âmateâ. Itâs common to greet a friend with âAlright shaaag!â
Further west in Cornwall âmy loverâ is a common expression. I remember being new in town buying a loaf of bread. The old bakery crone handed me my tiger loaf and change with a âthere you go my loverâ. My first thought was âbut weâve only just met. It totally threw me.
My name really is Daniel Paddox. I have luxuriant blonde hair, lovely teeth, and my avatar is my passport photo.
I like Pimlico. Though transient up the top near Victoria it gets more interesting as you gravitate towards the river. My theory is, because of its geography, itâs not a place people often pass through so itâs built up its own character. The Grosvenorâs a curious pub. The clientele seems to be a mix of locals from the Churchill Estate, policy wonks from Millbank, and Mi5. Though the latter could be my imagination.
Josh Bowler away at Norwich last game of season. Somewhere between Warnock and the Pandemic. Or so Iâm told; I spent most of the game, pint in hand, doing keepy-uppyâs with a balloon. And I wasnât the only one.
Our achievement of being a non-league team reaching the FA Cup QF was unequalled for over a century. Then 103 years later Lincoln City (then non-league) reached the quarters. Curiously (well curious to me anyway) I remember watching their early kick off 1-0 giant-killing cup victory over Burnley to match our 2-1 giant-killing cup victory over Birmingham in 1914 ⌠in a pub in Birmingham just before going to see the Rs win 4-1 in 2017. Confused? Itâs early.
