Scunts

Posted on Saturday, October 28, 2006

Oh! With all the excitement at Thomond Park, I nearly forgot to mention that Scunthorpe United won again today, beating Leyton Orient 3-1. Billy the Fish, as usual, banged in a brace of goals. They now occupy third place in the table behind Nottingham Forest and Bristol City. Heady days indeed for a town such as Scunthorpe, which seems to have nothing else except its Saturday game of footie. (If you exclude the whippets and the ferrets, that is). Let me assure you, having been there, that Scunthorpe is exactly as it sounds. Scunthorpe is the only place I’ve ever visited where the locals apologise for the town. The last time we went there, our taxi driver to the airport thought we were taking a foreign break.

Are thee goin’ on a ‘oliday then?

No. Actually, we’re going home. We were just visiting Scunthorpe.

You what?? Visitin’ Scunthorpe??? Visitin’ bloody Scunthorpe? Well by ‘eck!

That’s how Scunthorpe people see their town - and we thought Limerick had it bad?

Stumble it!
