Danny the Fox 95 Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Not happy with this. Want the players prepared coming into the clubs biggest game in a long time. Would rather have Mills/Morgan at the back with Bamba on Sunday if St Ledger is up to this. He can do it in the summer when he's isn't in Ireland's squad for EURO 2012 but not now
ScouseFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 We've all been out on a worknight before, don't pretend you haven't. No problem with this, hardly like he's been spotted throwing sambuca shots down his neck half an hour before kick off on Sunday. I think 4 days of recovery is enough, even after a massive session it rarely takes more than a decent kip and a good scran.

ScouseFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 What the hell is a scran? Like food and that. Is it not a word in Leicester?
EnderbyFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Like food and that. Is it not a word in Leicester? Oh i see And it's not one that i've heard used before!
ScouseFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Oh i see And it's not one that i've heard used before! Haha fair enough. I sometimes get confused by what's slang here and what's slang in Leicester.
Out Foxed Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Like food and that. Is it not a word in Leicester? mainly a scottish thing is it not (or northern)
HoustonFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 What I want to know is why they all wearing bras? Not surprised by Gally though, explains why he is so soft...
leicestercity_ Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Would you drop him after this? If not would you rather him moved back into the middle?
Kitchandro Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Like food and that. Is it not a word in Leicester? I thought it was, me and my family use it all the while
ScouseFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 mainly a scottish thing is it not (or northern) Well everyone I know uses it but it might originate from there like. Seems it's spreading too... I thought it was, me and my family use it all the while
Out Foxed Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Scran has long been used as slang in the British army and navy for rations. And a high-energy food used by walkers and mountaineers containing much the same ingredients, which is known variously as gorp and scroggin, has names that are also said to be acronyms. The thought that seamen might have been fed on such an expensive diet, one hard to preserve at sea, rather than the staples of salt pork and ship’s biscuit, would have caused naval officers of sailing-ship days to collapse in laughter. The first recorded sense of scran, from the early eighteenth century, actually refers to a reckoning at a tavern. By the early 1800s the word was being used almost exclusively in relation to food. The implications seemed always to be that it was inferior or scrappy food, odds-and-ends, leftovers, and the like. It might be a scratch meal taken by a labourer into the field, or perhaps some miscellaneous items for a holiday excursion or picnic, as well as those soldiers’ and seamen’s rations. It was widely used in London in the nineteenth century. An example appears in a letter by the Victorian social writer Henry Mayhew that was published in the Morning Chronicle in November 1849: “Others beg ‘scran’ (broken victuals) of the servants at respectable houses, and bring it home to the lodging-house, where they sell it.” If you were out on the scran, you were begging food; you might have a scran bag to hold your gleanings. There’s also the Anglo-Irish bad scran to you, an imprecation that curses you with ill luck, literally wishing bad food on you. And scran bag has long been used in the Royal Navy for the place where confiscated personal possessions or lost property were kept until retrieved or sold. Unfortunately, as often is the case, we have no good idea where the word comes from. A link was once suggested with the Icelandic skran, rubbish, odds and ends. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests this is probably an accidental similarity, even though the English Dialect Dictionary — based on fieldwork during the later nineteenth century — includes the sense of a morsel or scrap, for example quoting “A scran of a moon hung dead in the south” from an 1881 story. derp
ScouseFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Haha. Anywayyyyy, SSL sounds like he had a good night.
Daggers Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 5 pages and no one has broken out the "role model" argument. Wow, I'm impressed FT.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 St Ledger at 80/1 first or last goalscorer on Bet365... get on it!
HoustonFox Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 5 pages and no one has broken out the "role models" argument. Wow, I'm impressed FT. Good film that
ibbosuk Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 Fairplay to him, as long as he is fit and ready for sunday who gives a shit, hes a normal person like the rest of us just better at gambling and playing football! We are going to get hammered on Sunday, so he will have another excuse to "Drown his sorrows".........
AmericanScott Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 What I want to know is why they all wearing bras? Not surprised by Gally though, explains why he is so soft... I believe they are those GPS tracker pieces of equipment pro footballers have in training now days. Monitors players heart pace, etc.
Guest Bilo Posted 16 March 2012 Posted 16 March 2012 I can proudly say I have never used the word scran to refer to food. If you aren't from the North West and have never used that word, you can pat yourself on the back as I have. If you have used that word to refer to food and you aren't from the North West, find a fvcking big cliff and throw yourself from it. Nobody likes a plastic Northerner.
