When we played Cheltenham in a pre season friendly in 2011, at a guess, we had a SISU out banner. One of their fans approached us all confused wondering what was meant by it, because it was Finnish for strength etc. We said okay, and walked away.

End of boring story.

SISU was also the name of an Finnish engine company - these are known as strong pullers , good on fuel ⛽️

Pullers or tuggers.
Or maybe good on a night out?

SISU is a brilliant word in Finnish, no argument there. Whether the company of the same name who own us, deserve to be associated with it, is a whole different matter.

Do the Finns have a word for "Reckless hedge fund who aren't very good at winning court cases against incompetent councils", do you think?

Wikipedia - Sisu is extraordinary determination in the face of extreme adversity, and courage that is presented typically in situations where success is unlikely

Well duh, we obviously did. Just some boomers think they know everything, throw in their two pence and disregard anything else. Our owners and plight meant nothing to him.

 

[Sick Boy]

"Sausage"
"Well duh"
"Boomers".

"Sausage"
"Well duh"
"Boomers".

Didnt know what else to call him. At the time of typing, his age seemed to have everything to do with his ignorance. It was throwaway if anything.

Spot on - though I had to Google it, my Finnish is a little rusty.
