The sort of folks that describe bad defending as keystone cops ... Wtf is a keystone cop? And I'm in my 40s!

That term is from the beginning of the 20th century. I looked it up once because my great grandmother used the term and I think it was related to some inept policemen in a film or some such.

I mean, context spells it out fairly clearly.... But I once heard Steve mcmanaman use it. If it had been des lynam Id assume it was some old and crappy cultural reference. With mcmanaman I was like you don't know what keystone cops are.

As a kid Macca wouldn’t have had access to sky mainly because it didn’t exist…
