Tall, commanding, solid and wearing red and white. They ought to rename it "Rob Jones!"

They are hoops, definitely but I'm having problems with the younger son at the mo.  You see, he refers to the Rovers' kit as "red & white STRIPES".  :saywhat:

Of course, I beg to differ with him.  Stripes???  :mad:

Thing is, if we are going to get technical about it....

He's correct  :facepalm:

Naturally, I beat the smart-arse regularly  :boxing: but I need other suggestions!

Fuzzy,no he's not right. Hoops meaning to encircle is the meaning you want, stripes do not mention encircling.

Just get a flag with his face across it. The ships would soon turn back.

Yeah....but our hoops don't encircle.  They only half-encircle.  Half-hoops is a better description but I think this could lead to piss-taking from the smart-arse.  Sadly, I think more beating is the only solution.  Shame really, it means I've been a hypocrite for 19 years preaching not solving arguments with violence.

Obviously I'm going to lose sleep over this  :zzz:

So long as they didn't disappear, like Leicester's strikers did last Saturday.

Try telling a Celtic fan that his team plays in green and white STRIPES and see what response you get!

I'd like to think Rob's a bit more mobile that the lighthouse, though.

.... Disagreement and rightly so.  Celtic's hoops go all the way around so ARE hoops.

I believe that lighthouse is actually where Rob Jones lives.

Rob Jones makes lighthouses turn back from the rocks.

If you're correct some of you on this stripe thing BTW I don't think you are then I must be known in future as....
"Hoolastripe" I'm not having that or any comparison with a local disintegrating club :(
