Hollywood Ending

[#persevered]

Obviously lots of ups and downs this season and as we're in a "down" at the moment there's a lot of frustration here but...

I'm a fan of a good sports film and if our season was a Hollywood film it would definitely involve us struggling as we are just now and doing things the hard way - finishing 3rd but battling through the play-offs to go up and then winning the cup. So with that in mind - bit of fun - who would you cast in a film version of our season to play Stubbs and the team?

At the moment they could all play Eddie the Eagle, as they had us flying high and crashed us back down to earth again.

Albert Kidd as the star man.

You sir, deserve to last less than two minutes on here.

He could maybe play a cameo role .
Say, come on for the last 7 minutes with the game on a knife edge at 0-0 !!! [emoji6]

Well that went off the rails quicker than I had even expected.

This season has been a bit like "The Crying Game".

All is going swimmingly, firing in about a tidy bird before finding out that she's got a winkie.

Eh?

And, what did you expect?

We could cast you as the fertiliser for the pitch.

We could maybe have an ending where we win a war, but ultimately go bust having stolen, amongst other things the poppy fund money raised to help war veterans, very Hollywood, surely these things can't happen in real life.

Did you carry on regardless?

Maybe a joke, bit of banter, rather than a straight forward GTF.

Let's joke then buddy.

I'm in a great mood this weekend.

You start.

[matty_f]

Am I missing something from the OP? What's in it that makes folk think it's a puddle drinker? :dunno:

Edit : OP is a Hibby, so maybe give folk a chance, guys?

Not to be picky but they don't normally "cast" fertiliser in films. you'd just buy it in. I accept it's a s*** thread but you can do better than that, surely.

Hey no one's happy about Saturday - just fail to see how it's my fault. As I've said I accept it is a lame thread but it's my first go so give me a break. I'll get better or I'll shut up. Just a hibby new to the forum - fancied seeing if I could get a light hearted chat going. Not overly encouraged to stick around on this evidence though.

[ManBearPig]

Ok let's here your any given Sunday speech Al?

Don't take it to heart mate, in about 3000 posts time you'll be accepted 😂

Fair enough, I'll probably just avoid starting any more dumb threads until that point! The next 2999 posts will just be "I agree with you" on other people's threads. Safety first!

Quite a sensitive soul Alan Pacino. Just say you're piece and don't worry bout negativity. Can't please everyone son. Don't worry, be happy.:aok:

Just get stuck in mate, the thread isn't that bad, folk are just still raging from the weekend!

[Glory Lurker]

Don't know who'd be cast for it, but I can guarantee you that it's going to be like Capricorn One. Just as the world thinks we are dead, we're going to storm in to our own memorial service on an open top bus.

Honest.

We will!

I'm always a wee bit suspicious when someone's first post is knocking the team but there you go. Looks like you've now been cleared of being a ****bag so fill your boots.

Welcome. :aok:

Yeah think people misread my tone in first post, wasn't knocking the team, simply acknowledging we had a bad weekend. I genuinely think we'll still go up and I definitely think we'll be in the sc final.

Here's a tip - try replying to a few existing threads first, rather than starting one as your first post. Bound to get hostility for that.

Welcome. :aok:

He wisnae knocking the team - if anything showing a shread of optimism in daring to contemplate a Holywood ending! Anyway - in response to the OP I think Nick Cage could do a decent Stubbsy if he could pull off a proper Scouse accent without sounding like Dick VanDyke out of Mary Poppins.

As for the players - the cast of "Escape to Victory" would hopefully fit the bill (including Pele naturally;).

[Edson Arantes]

Apologies Alan :thumbsup:

Just peed off about Saturday still.
