Lionels: reasons to dislike them

[Spiffsson]

Tell you what. I try to judge as I find. Out in Spain I run into quite a few Lionels. You might sit beside a stranger in a bar or cafe and have a bit of a chat. Never ceases to amaze me how many of them feel that it is perfectly acceptable to be openly racist. Not all of them by a long shot, but considerably more than the other nationalities in my experience.

Maybe that's to do with the kind of Lionel you tend to find in Spain. At one point it was something of a haven for ex crooks, old lags, wide boys, dodgy lads etc. and perhaps not rugby playing types?
(Bagster will fit right in )

Funny you should say that Spiffer. There's an auld lad out here who claims to have run with the Krays back in the day. Almost certainly complete ballix but should be ok anyway, since they only kill their own ...

I've come across a number of these characters from my days in the east end.
They only served to remind me of the Monty Python sketch about Doug and Dinsdale, the Piranha brothers who were eventually apprehended by Harry 'Snapper' Organs.

I watched the first half then went out, can't be doing with basketball score rugby.

I know Eddie the Jap is not a Lionel, he's a Jap, but is it not time the Lionels woke up to realise what every other team he has coached eventually realised ............he's a tiny wab. He is leading Lionelland to destruction, a coaching Slogan if you will.

Fifth in the 6Ns, beaten by a crowd of talented players on the razzle for a week, conceding the most points ever in Twickinghouse's long history.

Frankly, I'm loving it. I hope Saffers give them an enormous kicking.................. but I wouldn't bet on it.

He can take Bayliss back to Australia with him ‘an all.

[222toHounslow]

Keep Bayliss for the white ball stuff. That was his remit when he took over.
