S1E1

in the pilot the old coach asks rebecca whether she got some ‘poofter’ to redecorate, insinuating that this coach was not creating a safe environment for his players, especially gay ones :(

during ted’s first press conference, there’s a two second shot of isaac and colin in the training room next to each other. this is the first time we are introduced to both characters and they are in the same shot!!!

twenty minutes into the pilot: the first shot of colin bullying nate. i won’t make any excuses for his behavior. this is colin at his lowest.

S1E2

“hey look at isaac. he looks like a rodin sculpture in cleats” as isaac tackles on of his teammates

around the five minute mark, we’ve got colin and isaac laughing at sam like dumb minions for jamie

another shot of colin and isaac walking behind jamie, mimicking him in ignoring higgins completely

after the seven minute mark we see colin in the locker room, getting a kink pulled out in his leg by a sports masseuse. he stays like that, lying on his stomach during on his whole scene and he is the only one who doesn’t laugh when ted introduces the ‘suggestion box’. he clearly has something on his mind.

when nate goes around with the box for sam’s birthday, colin does in fact put money in. isaac doesn’t :(

but then, fifteen seconds later colin laughs at jamie’s awful gesture towards ted.

colin actually congratulates sam when they surprise him and even stands up to clap. isaac doesn’t.

after the game, colin and isaac also get up to have cake, dance and celebrate. they’re clearly both softies when jamie isn’t around to point it out.

the famous colin being blown away by the shower pressure. poor colin.

S1E3

colin and isaac at the club, just being pals, no ladies in sight. colin grabbing at isaac and being very close to him.

colin being headbutted and isaac being there to catch him

S1E4

colin and isaac arriving to the fundraiser basically together, without dates :)))

colin and isaac being seated at the same table during the dinner, again next to each other, no dates.

colin and isaac spending the night drinking and observing other people while everyone else is busy trying to chat up ladies??? i mean that's gay

isaac's boob grab on colin when the street musician plays his music

them dancing together <3

S1E5

nothing, sadly

S1E6

THE FUCKING CHIN TICKLING AND PICKING AT EACH OTHER'S UNIFORMS BEFORE THE 'PRACTICE' SPEECH

when jamie tries to order colin to set up the cones and isaac is just READY TO FIGHT him for his boyfriend's honour <3 <3

S1E7

in front of the bus and in hotel lobby, colin's wearing the green jacket with the yellow logo

when they watch the iron giant, in an earlier shot from the back, isaac's arm is around colin's chair and then in the close-up of them not-crying, colin's arm is on isaac's chair

during the iron giant, isaac is wearing green and yellow.

at the karoke bar, we see colin and isaac next to each other, hugging once and both completely mesmerised by rebecca's singing

we also see them leaving the bar, both holding nate up

S1E8

isaac doesn't even flinch when colin says he'd fuck a pair of jordans

during the sponsorship scene, colin is wearing green and yellow again

S1E9

there is literally no colin or isaac moment in this episode :(

S1E10

is it a coincidence that isaac's wearing yellow and green and colin's jacket is green with a yellow logo and detailing? hmmm.

why doesn't isaac react to the 'colin never getting blown' joke?

when colin says "clearly no barbers in manchester" as jamie appears on the screen - it's not technically a colin/isaac moment, but now that we know that isaac is the team's barber, this comment means something.

the scene were they huddle up after isaac becomes captain, colin's face is only looking is his direction during the whole count

when roy fucks up his own tackle, both isaac and colin come to check on him and after helping him up, colin gives isaac an affectionate arm pat!!!

after the loss, when ted says "look at everybody else in here", isaac only looks at colin

S2E1

colin and isaac next to each other on the field within the first two minutes of the episode <3

colin doesn't look surprised when isaac says that he can only write his name with one pen, because obviously he knows his boyfriend is dyslexic

colin seeing doctor sharon for his self-esteem issues which are definitely connected to his sexuality.

S2E2

"i'm a strong and capable man. i'm not a piece of shit."

S2E3

isaac wants to draw a dick on sam’s face in the dubai ad. colin laughs like it’s the funniest thing he’s ever heard. (because they’re in love and it’s clearly a freudian slip)

isaac's non-reaction to colin's "grindr" comment. he KNEW.

when jamie apologises to the whole team, we learn that when colin and isaac are on guard, they both cross their arms over their chest

when richard speaks french, isaac turns towards colin - because obviously colin has the answer???

thanks to led tasso, we also learn that colin can, in fact, touch his toes while isaac can barely touch the middle of his shin

thanks to led tasso, we also find out that isaac does not want to marry a ball. (because he wants to marry colin)

isaac has nigerian roots and has connection to his culture, meaning he can connect with colin over how much they hate the british for being colonizers

after richmond lose, they celebrate that they’ve ended the tie streak. we see colin and isaac again, never further than a meter or two from each other <3

S2E4

isaac in the sexy santa costume is big dick energy. that's all.

S2E5

this episode opens with the lads watching their failure on the tv. note that there's an empty seat between colin and isaac and they both sit with their arms crossed. isaac proceeds to call their performance shit and while colin seems to cheer up during the rom-communism speech, isaac still looks angry and sad.

when coach beard asks what's going on with isaac, nate says 'piles' — which is british term for hemorrhoids. coach beard then proceeds to say that he would have accepted 'aubergines and snogging, but not piles'. if that's not some crazy, kind of homophic joke from nate — because there's a misconception about hemorrhoids and gay sex — and coach beard answering with another type of homosexual subtext, then i don't know what that whole conversation was about.

when isaac collects his free nespresso machine, we see him in the bi hoodie for the first time.

isaac's whole arc about struggling to lead. we see isaac finding the love for the game again. while it has nothing to do with colin or isaac's sexuality, it does raise a question of what has happened since isaac's suddenly feeling less secure.

also, isaac is wearing yellow and green again when he plays against the kids. (oddly enough, dr. sharon fieldstone also wears yellow and green two times in this episode.)

it may be a complete coincidence, but this is also the episode we see a gay couple for the first time in the show, in the stands, supporting richmond.

when they warm up before the game, colin looks so happy that isaac is happy.

S2E6

"i'm a strong and capable man.” nate being mean to colin and roy fixing it. colin being a happy boyo whenever he’s praised. (he has a praise kink, clearly. i wrote a fic about it.)

colin wearing leopard and isaac wearing gucci. i just—wow.

colin knowing all the lyrics to drake's 'jumpman' and isaac just being in awe of his boyfriend

fun fact: jumpman is actually another name for the jordans logo and the whole song is kinda an ode to michael jordan, colin you fucking nerd

isaac telling sam to put his phone away and listen to isaac's boyfriend rap

"carry on going. you're great" - the only thing missing here is the baby at the end.

S2E7

colin making camouflage dad jokes is gay

S2E8

in the weight lifting room, isaac is the only one who notices colin struggling with getting the weight off his neck and he looks so mad at jamie. he then proceeds to be distracted himself, but only because he's distracted by everyone cheering

in the barber scene, colin being so smug and in awe of isaac's barber skills. he probably gets unlimited hair cuts.

colin comparing isaac cutting hair to swan lake. very gay.

S2E10

isaac wears a hoodie that is very clearly telling us he's bi.

isaac is also the go-to fashionista which is big-bi-energy.

they don't sit together at church, but around 30:33 in the episode, isaac looks in his direction as the last people get seated.

colin looking weirded out by the breastfeeding in church insinuates that he's either concerned about being proper in church (which out from his character doesn't make sense) OR he's like 'boobs? do i like boobs?' which is what it looks more like

S2E11

colin and isaac goofing around on the pitch.

colin not being able to drive = gay.

colin grabbing isaac's broad shoulder and hiding half behind him when the helicopter lands. adorable.

S2E12

isaac sitting in the high chair and chatting with colin, both of them smiling. also note that isaac kicks his legs out in the air like a happy child? cute.

during halftime against brentford when isaac goes to touch the believe sign, notice how colin looks at him the whole time.

BONUS

billy harris calling isaac colin's 'main man' in a tweet and saying that isaac drove him home after he burned the keys to his lamborghini

kola bokinni liking a tweet that has the words 'billy harris cutest man alive' in it

kola bokinni is clearly an ally as he likes tweets about harry styles in dresses and nfl player carl nassib coming out

billy and kola doing PRESS together is clearly not a coincidence. i mean. come on. did you see the cute selfies?

THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE

that bill lawrence confirmed (kind of) colin's sexuality by liking tweets where he is referred to as gay
