Craig Shakespeare

[KaiserEFC]

This failure of a Judas will not be missed.

 

[kithnou]

Bye bye

 

[deipnosophist]

Hung by his own petard

hate to be a corrector but it's "hoist with one's own petard"...a petard was a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications (dating back to 1500s) and to be hoist with it implies being blown into the air with your own bomb. More generally it's an expression denoting being injured by the device that you intended to use to injure others.

But your allusion (via this thread's title) to Shakespeare's 'inventing' the phrase is noted. He used it in Hamlet (1602) :

"For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar".

Note: engineers were originally constructors of military engines.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Goodbye Craig, you did wonderful things for our football club.

I guess you could configure 'failure of a Judas' to mean a good thing...

 

[The binman chronicles]

100% win record...and 100% away in European competitions. You will be missed Craig, our greatest ever manager.

Should have stabbed Allardyce in the back and taken over...Et tu, Bisto!!

 

[Professor Toffee]

He is a man more sinned against than sinning

 

[diggerdestroyer]

He done well for himself this lad.

Good, let's have more Shakespeare for this thread. I'll continue with this one from Macbeth: "Unreal mockery, hence!"
