No but see Jamie idolized Roy as a child and kept his poster hanging on his wall and then as an adult and a footballer himself he actually had the chance to play with and be captained by Roy except Roy was in pain all the time and on the brink of losing everything that had near-singlehandedly made up his identity for the majority of his life while Jamie was the fresh young prick on the rise with his whole career and future ahead of him and Roy was angry and bitter and resentful and acted like a dick and so Jamie retaliated by acting like a dick right back and the two of them became sworn enemies who hated each other's guts and swore they would forever and ever and then Roy got together with Jamie's ex girlfriend Keeley but Keeley had breakup sex with Jamie and Roy couldn't stop thinking about Jamie when he kissed Keeley so things were extra messy BUT THEN Jamie got transferred to another team and Roy's final play of his career was successfully tackling Jamie but it fucked his knee for good and his life was over and he had to resort to getting wine drunk and hate watching Jamie saunter around on TV, looking hot and shagging other hot people, because Jamie had a personal crisis and quit football to star in a Love Island knockoff. but then Jamie got the chance to return to the team where Roy and him once butted heads right there in the dressing room only now Roy was his Coach and Jamie was determined to be a better man and wanted to learn from Roy and enlisted Keeley to help him get on Roy's good side and it was starting to work but Roy still wouldn't admit that it was working and then the truth came out with startling clarity, right there in front of the whole team after a devastating loss, about everything Jamie had endured and the abuse he had always resigned himself to taking, only this time Jamie hit his father back and the room was silent and in shock and nobody moved except Roy. Roy who held him and let him cry on his shoulder. Roy who has somehow, impossibly, become a person - the person - Jamie could lean on. And after that Jamie became Roy's special little football boy and Roy personally committed himself to molding Jamie into a superstar but Roy was also personally spiraling and had just broken up with Keeley and so the relationship with Jamie stayed abrasive and undefined even though Jamie was so eager and so willing and said nothing when Roy used him as his emotional punching bag but only because Jamie had become a safe space for Roy like Roy was for him. And then Jamie played for England and was invited to Uncle's Day and got his shirt personalized for Roy and nervously but eagerly gifted it to Roy who had to hold back his tears because he was that fucking touched and then Roy's niece called them best friends. And Roy realized that shit, not only were they best friends, but also that he'd never really cared about anyone quite like how he cares about Jamie. And he could no longer hide how much he cares, and for the most part he stopped trying. He started caring about Jamie openly. And now, no matter what happens next or where Jamie's career takes him, they are intertwined forever and always will be.... Like I'm sorry but I just don't think some of you are getting it...it's not clocking to you....

watching a scene with a fav character can be so humiliating sometimes. like yes i'm watching this scene with this character because i want to see the character. yes i've paused it multiple times because i got too excited. before the character fully entered the screen even. guhhhh

[butchfoden]

putting it in a separate post too: the fa cup is not the premier league. the fa cup is a competition in which every team in the english football league (the top 9 tiers of english football!! 747 teams get to compete in this upcoming season!!) gets to compete for this one trophy. there are amateur teams who beat premier league teams in the fa cup. it's single elimination, so you win or you go home, which makes some people say it's harder to win than the premier league. you can have a bad stretch of form and still win the league, you cannot play one bad game and still win the fa cup. richmond under roy winning the fa cup is soooo special To Me. like. like yeah. it would be the fa cup first. roy kent is a trophy winning manager with afc richmond :')

[scoatneyhall]

And crucially you get to win it at WEMBLEY in front of 100,000 people including royalty and shit.

Going back to Wembley for the semis.. if it's the first time Jamie's played there with Richmond since 2.08.. (obviously played there with England) the MOMENT Roy and Jamie would have had on that day.. I've made myself full on start crying cool

[katestewartt]

Of course he is already watching his boyfriend

[mycenaae]

woah roy and keeley haven't been alone in three years wow i wonder what specifically about this year changed that even though they've both clearly been around and involved with richmond? what could have possibly changed recently, this year even, perhaps this season, that might've led to keeley and roy being alone more often when they previously weren't, before? who could possibly have left that might've been in these kinds of situations with them and now is in barcelona somehow not there anymore? can anyone hear me in this box i'm in?

[katiebootsquinn]

I know he was actually talking about Beard but when Roy said “I thought I had something really special with someone but their heart belongs to another” and his voice almost cracked…..notice how this is his first season after Jamie left him for another club…..notice how he’s suddenly dry swallowing handfuls of pills….notice how he’s now pursuing Keeley after apparently not being alone with her a single time in 3 years…..

[kentstartt]

the first time they've been together in three years

the last time:

[knottedroses]

[phantomrose96]

[liebelesbe]

attaching something to an email is so scary. what if i accidentally put hard-core porn in there. i don't think i have any downloaded but what if i do and i attached it to the email. what then.
