And if, ya know, yer history…..
The Vagabonatical doctrine of the Messiah, or Glennism, had its origins in the belief that Steve G had been anointed by the Lord himself (Liversidge) so that he and his descendants would enable Vags to regularly keep a place in the TML (* further mention below) second division. Continue reading
Fresh Strawberry Juice
Vags cucumbered out an under-ripe kiwifruit 1-1 draw at the ludicrously square St Mary’s.
It was a real middle of the park foot-in-fest. Fair play, the AOB know what they like, like it and do it well. There was no space to exploit and it was, finally, condensed milk.
The zing from the strawberries was nothing to do with the score but just the almost forgotten nostalgia sprung forth from a good game of football with a good bunch of guys getting stuck in. Yellow cards? – not even close. Hard tackles? – yes, but it’s football. Occasional hard done by shouts at the ref (both sides)? – yes.
Shirt pulling – no. Diving – no. Cheating – no.

Building Castles in the Sand
A long, long time ago in a far off land called the Rising Sun (a pub in Yotsuya not Nippon itself) a young Prince, who was regent to the territory of ‘Shoddy Bodyland’ which covered a swath of Tokyo, envisaged a grand and most estimable plan, over an Ichibanshibori and a bowl of piping hot ramen.
‘Let us’ the young royal burbled, ‘go forth into the less hospitable areas of our kingdom, and spread the word about this chipper game called footy. And let me have, now and forever, another pint.’ The bureaucrats who surrounded his throne were understandably concerned by this mad plan and tried to get him to take a rickshaw home, even though in those days the Prince was able to legally cycle while under the influence and oftentimes did. Such was their concern about this weird and worrying scheme.
Sadness, tiredness, dirtiness & a mess of adjectives, similies and metaphors.
The sadness comes from Garry Robertson. This makes anything that follows meaningless. Continue reading
The BFC VAGABONDS quiz team, with their festive themed name ‘The Christmas Crackers’, continued their respectable run at the 4th Hobgoblin Charity quiz last Wednesday (14th Dec), finishing runners up in a strong field of 15 teams.
Graham ‘the cat’ Burt returned as the Vags goalkeeper last Sunday after his recent jaunt winning silverware in Thailand and pulled off a series of stunning saves to help the Vags secure a point against Zion and in doing so put to bed any aspirations that James ‘wankspider’ Musgrove had of claiming that position for himself.

Chesty Morgan’s Tits
Trying to think about how to describe something really, really, really soft……no implants you know.
Fraser Brown was the first Vag red carded this season but it was without a shadow of a doubt in anybody’s mind a Boris Johnson. A joke, but not funny. Not least for Fraser himself, but also for Muzzy, who ended up in goal for the full game and Roy, who therefore didn’t get back on the pitch. Continue reading
