Beards

[Latters]

Right, after I recently posted stating that both Ched and Beattie can kick it really, really hard, it struck me that the only times both of these players have actually done the business, I.e. scored more than 20 in a season, they'd omitted to shave.

Ched was bobbins last season, this year he let the face hair grow and in the goals flew. Beattie had a big, dirty beard when he last scored for us, now the beard's gone, so have the goals.

So, basically, I propose this. We stop our remaining strikers from shaving and the forward line on Saturday should be based solely on who had the biggest, best beard.

Piece of piss this football management lark.

May the best beard win!

The only player I've ever seen score for us at a neutral venue:

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Wasn't Squinny enjoying his best form for us after he let his face-piobs grow?

Since I started having a perma-beard my income has grown nearly 40%.

I grew a beard during my week off after Easter. I really enjoyed it and on that basis I bought a Chelsea tractor. Without the beard it would not have been possible to make such a purchase

That, and being put in charge of fries...

 

[Latters]

That's it settled then with the other examples people have come up with. I can see the headlines now:

"Blades banned by Blades in their beardy bid for promotion".

 

[SwissBlade]

We had a new German bloke join our company last week and it just so happened to be the construction lay down party.

The guy had an impressive level of beardige, so I commended him on it. He thought I was weird. Can't educate these feckers about pipelines or beard recognition.

why stop at the forward line, perhaps with a little face fungus the midfield could become a quartet of messi's?
or the defence becomes inpregnable with a captain birdseye special edition beard?
simmo has a 50+ game clean sheet bonus because of his goatee and "burners"?
Danny is offered the england Job after they fail to qualify for knockout stages in euros and he says it all because of his now resemblance to the Uncle in Only Fools And Horses.
shavings for sissy's, throw away that mach 3 and grow a set Blades

MunXy(well and truely whiskered)

I would say we should all do it, it would be pretty epic, our capacity to support our club would increase tenfold. Then I remembered, even at 26 I'm incapable of proper facial hair growth. This is clearly the reason I'm in building surveying rather than professional football.

Fantastic footballer, doctor and ancient greek philosopher - it's down to the beard.

I really don't think a beard would suit me!

One face-lift too many and you too could have one.

And some testosterone injections ...

You've still got it Rusty.........

I'm fully bearded, and have been most of the season. Beards maketh a man.

I strongly oppose the beard idea as history has shown that beards are evil and lead the wearer to perform despicable acts of cruelty
Gengis khan, Osama bin laden and Noel Edmonds to name but a few

Some would argue they are all fictional characters , Rolf Harris and Peter stuttcliffe are not

There are far more evil's without beards. Hitler only had a tache. George Bush, Blair, Saddam (gay stubble) all beardless. That Syrian Bloke - No beard.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

There's something cold and chilling about a freshly shaven face, like the person is constantly thinking about plotting world domination, genocide, or supporting Wednesday.

None of the Wednesday fans that I know have beards. I know Blades with beards.

 

[SBSP]

Most of you are discussing beards by choice. Mine is more down to the fact that i'm a properly lazy and shaving time could be better spent elsewhere.

Colin W had no facial hair at all when he invented cancer. He still is the most evil man on the planet and could always borrow uncle Ken's face hair if he goes out.

So Jesus was fictional was he?

You can perhaps dispute that his miracles were exagerated, but I don't think its actually disputed that he was a real person.
