Really? What you don't get to see is this piss-poor act dressed as a pantomime lion attempting to berate and question the decisions of match officials. Utterly embarrassing.thebish wrote:OTHER clubs' mascots are naff and embarrasing - ours is ace.

Really? I don't find it at all embarrassing and find it quite amusing when he does his 'where's yer glasses ref?' bit. Not laugh out loud Count Arthur Strong type funny obviously....Bruce Rioja wrote:Really?

Well, it seems like there's 4 people take this view & I know who 2 of them are.Bruce Rioja wrote:Really?

I'm not sure why ref's don't bar him from the playing area when he does that tbh.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Looks like the grumpy club haven't had their Ovaltine yet. 

Re: Lofty the Lion: Good thing or bad?
A real lion we could have let loose on the feckin' excuses for players under Coyle and freedman I'd accept, that knob in a costume? Nawwwww
Re: Lofty the Lion: Good thing or bad?
Much better than the equivalent here in Reading... a husband and wife lion team called Kingsley and Queensley... posh nice people they are! Shopping at Waitrose and all that...

Re: Lofty the Lion: Good thing or bad?
I'd like to hear a rational explanation for what it has to do with football or the fortunes of our club. If mascots are really used by clubs to encourage and enthuse the younger supporters it doesn't seem to have much effect on match day crowds.
What does it also say about the parents? They are either soft fur and foam retard fetishists themselves or have so failed in their ability to develop proper Bolton Wanderers supporters that they are reliant on complete and utter b*llsh*t to influence the little darlings.
Anyway, I would ban all kids under the age of 9 from all football grounds.
Those Wigan W*nkers are a little bit worrying. No wonder that club gets lower attendances than we do.

Re: Lofty the Lion: Good thing or bad?
And I supposeYou're another one who bans Father Christmas, and doesn't go to nativity plays and pantomimes either. Where has all the humour gone these days? Lofty is just harmless, light hearted good fun, that's all he is. Why do we have to scrutinise what he does?bedwetter2 wrote:I'd like to hear a rational explanation for what it has to do with football or the fortunes of our club.

Re: Lofty the Lion: Good thing or bad?
I blame the international break. Theres much to rail about as regards modern football - all seater stadium, ticket prices, having to travel to out of town retail parks, play acting, turining into non contact sport etc etc. Not convinced furry mascots really make the top 100.twilight wrote:And I supposeYou're another one who bans Father Christmas, and doesn't go to nativity plays and pantomimes either.

I certainly would not ban Father Christmas. I believe in him. Not so Lofty.twilight wrote:And I supposeYou're another one who bans Father Christmas, and doesn't go to nativity plays and pantomimes either. Where has all the humour gone these days?

Well Ms Twiglet, I can assure you that I am all for humour and there was plenty of that around before the plasticky commercialism of todays football "entertainment". Perhaps it was just a little less juvenile and rather more adult. It just seems to me, as an old git, that too much in our world has become stupider and made to appeal to the lowest common denominator; hence the X Factor.
As to nativity plays and pantomimes, bah humbug. My days of trotting along to those finished when my kids got past the age of 10.

That's the spirit. Only I think it's Bedwetter who craves your affections.

You'd expect if they were still of bedwetting age, that they'd appreciate the finer points of Lofty...

Anything that reminds me of this legend

Is fine by me.
P.S. If you were women you'd be asked if you're on the change.
