Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 21, 2020

no kiddin’

They have to get up and walk first.

I’m an ignorant Yank, but I thought that when you did things like that you got some sort of card, (yellow or red I believe)? Or am I thinking of a different game? I get confused between soccer/football, and rugby.

One must wonder how does our Mr Capp even sees where he is going.

Forever cementing the vaunted British traditions of “fair play” and “good sportsmanship” into the public mind.

Where does an alcoholic layabout like Capp get the energy to play football?!?

Coming home in the rain / Running up the dark lane / Past the jail and down behind the fountain …. apologies to the late Luke Kelly.

Must be a real injury. He’s not flopping around.

The nickname for Hartlepool United is “Pool.”

“The Walking Wounded” has a better ring to it.

That sounds horrendous. I don’t know a lot about driving laws as I do not drive myself. I don’t intend to either.

I was out with my friend again today and I’ve just got home so that’s why I’m commenting a little later than usual. Had a lovely time. I never took life for granted in the first place but it feels so good to get out and about after lockdown.

See you after the weekend, pal. Yep, I’m skiving off again. Haha. Well I’ll be here until the turnover at least.

Show him the Red Card. Not that he hasn’t seen it before.

how can he play with his nose telling him to stop

Looks like the Gasworks All-Stars ran out of gas and now they’re seeing stars!

“Gasworks” hmmm..Bristol Rover’s nickname was the Gas cos their old stadium was close to the gasworks in the old days. It was later changed to the Pirates when they moved to new stadium.

They might as well show Andy a red car the minute he walks onto the pitch.
