I like them.
Unlike Stains and Plucky. Stains probably because of the nauseating decades of sycophantic local TV presenters stuck up their arse, a lazy short drive from the TV studio. Bobin, Steggall, Roger Johnson, Andrew Pate to name just four. Thank god for the remote control.
Did you still live in this region at all in the 90’s and 00’s. ITV’s Andy Steggal followed a long lineage of biased weasels fiddling with his **** whilst describing Le Tiss or Jason Dodd.
Then a rushed 45 seconds about Aldershot, Albion, Pompey or Plucky.
The remote control came in handy.
I first saw a Pompey-Albion game in 76.
But I dislike Stains. Probably decades of biased Meridian and BBC South wkn over “the Saints”. Lazy local sports hacks …. couldn’t be arsed to take the awful A27 to our neck of the woods.
Watching the EFL highlights prog, Pompey scored the winner in literally the last second.
Funny thing was that Carlisle took them apart in the second half, the Pompey keeper’s quality.
