It says you have to be under 15 to enter, but I'm sure that's just small print.

I hope they have some reason to have a minute's silence at the final now.

Meanwhile, I see Gunnersaurus has made his Blue Peter debut.

Couldn't quite work out which animal the QPR mascot is. (A cat, apparently.)

Let's go for a Euros style mascot duo, like Flip and Flop, or Biff and Boff, or whatever the last few were called.

I propose Dev and Rev, short for Devalued and Revalued. Their design is a fairly standard cup with arms and legs except Dev is only 3 inches tall, whereas Rev is an imposing 45 feet high. Lead mascot role can be given to either depending upon the prevailing situation in terms of big club participation, broadcasting prestige, etc.

I thought that was Frank Lampard.

Are Partick Thistle getting entry to the FA Cup?

We have played in it, but that was back in about 1883.

I'm guessing they were looking for as many different creatures as possible for that photo, and couldn't find a Brentford bee so they settled for a Thistle one.

Hang on, are they pensioning off this chap?



If so, can I have the costume?

It's Farnworth, from MOTD Kickabout (not sure what division they play in)

What happened to the toucan? Or the weird green thing that I'm guessing was supposed to be a thistle?

So which team has Crash Bandicoot as a mascot?

It turns out to be Farnworth, from the MOTD Kickabout show on CBBC.

As a hire, he's on a par with most of the 'analysts' on the grown up show.

Oh, I thought someone said the walking trophy was Farnworth.

Edit: and now I see someone asked the same question as me upthread, to which the mention of Farnworth was the answer. Duh!

Does Farnworth play for Hamburg?

If he did, treibeis could nick the head and incorporate it into his crazy golf course.

really disappointed a football club didnt come up with Huey the Human as a mascot

A few points to be made:

1) It's depressing when it appears that all the Blue Peter presenters are now younger than you (although the slightly stubbly guy might be borderline, he could easily be in his early 30s).

2) Wouldn't it have made more sense just to have had the mascots of the eight teams left - only Gunnersaurus and Fred The Red are representative of the remaining octet.

3) My idea would be to make the Wembley tunnel look like the opening of a velvet bag and have multiple mascots dressed up as giant numbered balls. Preferably under the auspices of fifty-foot tall foam headed caricatures of Graham Kelly and Bert Millichip.

In a similar vein, the Poland 2016 handball championships has a mascot but it doesn't have a name!

Yeah, but he's got the cold, dead eyes of a maniacal bandicoot. Those eyes have seen some horrors, man. Possibly such horrors as Gary Taylor-Fletcher's big hairy arse, or Esteban Cambiasso defecating into a shoe.
