You say released, but rumour is Tigers have thrown a shitload of money at him.SaintK wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 3:10 pm Saints have signed Italian loosehead Danilo Fischetti
I guess they probably need an additional experienced loosehead.
Shame they've released young Tarek Haffar. Thought he was a very promising prospect.
Aaaah! Hadn't heard that. Happy for him to stay in the Prem even with the "enemy" as I think he is a potential England prospectOxbow wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 3:17 pmYou say released, but rumour is Tigers have thrown a shitload of money at him.SaintK wrote: Tue Apr 08, 2025 3:10 pm Saints have signed Italian loosehead Danilo Fischetti

To be fair, surname like "Pater" is just wasted in England, so we'll have him. Also Henry Laidlow and Hugh Shields. Not interested in an Oscar Appleby or Lumley and a Branch-Holland or Ogden-Metherell will not fit in.Tichtheid wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 12:27 pmSaintK wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 11:56 amNot too many Scottish sounding names but I bet there some with Scottish granparents in there somewhereKawazaki wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 10:36 am

Well, they've certainly left a lasting impression on you since you appear to be replaying the encounters constantly in your mind.
It's not healthy way to go about your day to day.
I went to Edinburgh Uni and there was a few of those types around. They tended to possess English levels of cuntishness as well, if you can believe it.Paddington Bear wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 5:14 pmOh come on we’ve surely all met a Sloaney Caledonian Club type with a double barrelled name who has a father that employs said gamekeeper, and an ancestor who was tragically struck down with tummy ache the morning of Cullodengeordie_6 wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 4:33 pmOnly thing double barrelled in Scotland are the gamekeepers shotguns.Slick wrote: Fri Apr 11, 2025 4:23 pm
