Bandy was originally the name used specifically for Shinty being played on ice. Although, the words became interchangeable at some point.Regarding Bandy he thinks it's just another name by which Shinty was known.
I realised that Bandy was a form of ice hockey. Where would they have played on ice though? Is there / was there a pond on the Recreation ground?Bandy was originally the name used specifically for Shinty being played on ice. Although, the words became interchangeable at some point.
I have no idea, unfortunately. I just remember reading up on the differences between Shinty and Bandy a few years ago when I got curious about our beginnings. I ended up going down a rabbit-hole on how the game started from the same roots as Hurling/Camogie and Bando.I realised that Bandy was a form of ice hockey.

Yes I read that article and the shinty one that says that the stick used in shinty is flat on both sides, though sloping outwards so forming a triangular profile. The rest went into the mists of my mind.I have no idea, unfortunately. I just remember reading up on the differences between Shinty and Bandy a few years ago when I got curious about our beginnings.

I expect that ice on a normal surface would more than suffice Nicola, given how extreme winters regularly were during that period of history, as is proved by photographic evidence of the Trent often freezing over.I realised that Bandy was a form of ice hockey.

References to bandy in the newspapers contemporary to the formation of the football club seemed to be focused on the southern part of England (Cambridge down).
See, this is why I have grown to love Lothar Matthäus on Sky DE, because he always, without fail, is liable to say something controversial, cause an argument, insult someone in an extremely polite manner, or, in many cases, do all three in the same bit of coverage.More specifically, this pair have nothing to say about football.
It was honestly like "Jedward" but for football.
I've just listened to 4 minutes of a cliché carousel. It was literally this pair grabbing any old suitcase off the conveyor belt and flinging it to the planes baggage hold.
Armed with the phrase "top top player" if they were f***ing the cliché up or as filler for time, struggling for anything to say. Also use at start of point and at the end. I'm fairly sure this part was taken directly from the Paul Merson training day
I'd love a bit of that. We get it with Keano over here but we could do with more.See, this is why I have grown to love Lothar Matthäus on Sky DE, because he always, without fail, is liable to say something controversial, cause an argument, insult someone in an extremely polite manner, or, in many cases, do all three in the same bit of coverage.
I don't even know who they are.More specifically, this pair have nothing to say about football.

To echo Congo, who are they Notch?More specifically, this pair have nothing to say about football.

The only people I can think of are the women that played for West Ham and then turned up as regulars on the Soccer am set which was quite clearly part of some obvious diversity quota/push. Six months later the entire show was canned - quelle surprise.To echo Congo, who are they Notch?

A recent picture of Robbo, sadly not looking too good.
Understandably Gary, he's struggling a little with the PD condition, but otherwise, and certainly spirit-wise he's doing fine, as was the case when I spoke with him a couple of weeks-or-so-ago.View attachment 37156

Thanks for this Frank, wishing Robbo all the very best.Understandably Gary, he's struggling a little with the PD condition, but otherwise, and certainly spirit-wise he's doing fine, as was the case when I spoke with him a couple of weeks-or-so-ago.
However, he was very close friends with Larry and so I expect the news of his death has hit him quite hard.
