Don’t know how true this ism but apparently the journo who wrote that headline admitted he nicked it.

Apparently, it was based on a lesser known headline from the 1970s, also football related. That version relates to Liverpool’s Ian Callaghan playing a blinder in a victory over QPR: ‘Super Cally Goes Ballistic, QPR Atrocious’.

That's the one that should be famous then. Sadly for the author it isn't.

This is hugely significant TLB - are we to celebrate plagiarism now? That's like cheating which is why Rangers fans delight in it.

You probably know the greatest Pun ever told, but if not here it is.

Caledonian Thistle, known as Callie were playing Celtic in the cup, astonishingly Callie won.

The local rags headline was,

Super Callie go ballistic Celtic are atrocious.

I don't get it?

Either way it is long and contrived when the best puns are snappy & smart.

A bit harsh considering one club borne out of charity and to this day makes it a significant part of the club culture through it's Foundation which raises and distributes £2-3m/yr which is pretty decent for a club with a turnover typically £70-100m.

to make chelsea think of what could have been..... Aww that could have been us getting pumped there... aww well just need to settle for Brentford instead.

Could have been really proper and spent the money Newcastle have in order to improve our positions

Pun, you have to remember that Celtic were the first British team to win the European Cup. And I think every players was born within 25 miles of Glasgow.
Naturally I've hated them ever since, even though I went to Parkhead the year before ( I was in Glasgow for work) and cheered them on.
Is this a shameful admission I don't know, but I loved Glasgow.

My bio on my tinder is:

"I used to be a male trapped inside a female's body, then I was born"

Met someone for a drink and they said "I almost didn't match cos I wasn't sure about dating a trans person"

I'd say about 40% of people don't get the joke. But it's my own original joke and I am sticking with it!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably a pretty good way of weeding out the kind of people you would only be wasting time on by matching with anyway

I told the audiologist I'm having problems with my hearing.

"Could you describe the symptoms"?

"Yea, they're all yellow and the main characters are Homer, Marge and Bart"

Exactly Pun, or sarky, which is even less typing
