Cortese out to sink the Ex-Saints Charity?

Interesting that the O.P. hasn`t contributed any more to this thread. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/search.php?searchid=696802 -

miserableoldgit replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
I don`t know what the cause is. I don`t know the TRUTH of the situation - obviously you do. I only know what I read in the papers and what various posters put on here. How close is any of it to the actual truth? What I DO know is that people on this forum jump at any little tit-bit of gossip and turn it into "fact" and then use that "fact" to back up their own particular views. -

When someone is so entrenched in their views that they will look for any opportunity to denigrate somebody (whoever they are) for a reason and will not listen or accept that their particular view may be wrong, then to me , that is "agenda-driven". Debate to me is discussing something in a sensible manner, listening to the various arguments and then reaching a decision. Which these two options do you put docker_p in? -

miserableoldgit replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
Blimey!! Another post by Alpine that seems to be fairly positive and sensible! Has someone stolen your identity?? A couple of points:- Firstly, do we actually KNOW that " some sort of open warfare is raging between old club legends and the current management" or is it something that has been blown up all out of proportion. It may well be that they don`t like each other very much but that is a different thing. Secondly, would this have gotten to this stage if Mr Stelling hadn`t have sounded off on Sky. The really sad thing about all of this, is that the "trouble" is being caused by certain posters on here who have their own agendas and will look for any scrap of "information", or opportunity to beat their particular target with. I have heard transfer rumours printed in the Sun referred as rubbish because it is in The Sun, but because it suits certain people, the current story is being interpeted in certain ways and being treated as gospel! -

The problem is that you don`t generally get "debate" on these threads. The OP wasn`t put up for debate. It was posted by an agenda-driven poster who will post anything that makes his evil nemesis look bad. Sadly, because of the reason that d_p posted you just get pro`s and anti`s, with entrenched views throwing insults at each other. That is not debate. -

But he has a record for highlighting anything remotely anti-Cortese and this is just another instance -

The more successful Saints get, the more bitter docker_p gets. Pathetic. -

Obviously the rest of the full house last night didn`t agree with you as it seemed to me that they laughed rather a lot.

If you don`t want to spend too much, we have found the Tassimo machine by Bosch to be very good. It uses the pod system and it very simple to operate and the selection of available coffee (plus teas and hot chocolates) is very good. http://www.tassimo.co.uk/discover/886

Well done Greg, for becoming this years Speedway World Champion with one GP to go. He has ridden in every GP since their inception in 1995 and always come across as one of the nice guys in the sport. Well deserved!! http://www.greghancock.com/

Well, did anyone else on here go? What did you think? I quite enjoyed it and actually laughed quite a lot. It was a liitle bit shambolic at times but still good entertainment. I thought, surprisingly, that Mike Osman was actually pretty funny as were the panalists although Phil Thompson was a bit dry. Agree that Merse came across as a bit of a mess but all in all a good evening IMHO.

Chemin de Terre by Alan Stivell. A magnificent Breton Folk Rock album from the 1970`s Might move on to "Live at the Olympia" also by him next.

Cortese kisses and makes up with the Sun
miserableoldgit replied to Golac's Iron Gonads's topic in The Saints
The problem with this forum is that every time a situation like this arises, we suddenly split into two camps and bicker when the truth of these matters is very rarely in black and white. I absolutely love MLT for what he did for this club and I hate hearing any negative remarks about him. However, MLT is the past and NC is the here-and-now and quite possibly the future. Whilst he may not have the greatest PR skills, I do like what NC and ML have done for this club and I believe that NC is determined to get us into the big-time. I don`t think that his stated ambitions are so much "hot-air" as some other chairman may spout. For him being chairman is not a popularity contest and I genuinely believe that he wants to make this club a success and has the ability to do so. -
I have been watching Saints for over 50 years. I have seen Paine, Sydenham, Channon, Keegan, Ball and all of the others. IMHO Le Tiss has been the best. He has given so much pleasure and enjoyment over the years and shown great loyalty to the club. BUT whilst I would be happy for him and LM to get free entry to matches I am not running the club. I want Saints to be successful and I want a team to be proud of. I might be an old git but I think about the future not the past. The past is gone. Where do you draw the line on freebies? I could name dozens of players who provided great service to the club. Do they all qualify for freebies? I want Saints to get promoted. I want Saints to compete in the PL. I want Saints to compete in the CL. Will it happen? No idea, but I would rather concentrate on these things rather than petty, agenda-orientated arguments which can only cause disruption. Some people really need to grow up!!

I have seen many stupid, ill thought out posts on this forum but this comes close to taking the biscuit. WTF is the matter with people on here??
-
Either you are a troll par excellence, a very sad twisted individual or a lunatic. To say that Nc hasn`t contributed anything toward our current position is stupid in the extreme. I haven`t put anyone on "ignore" yet but I can feel it coming on.

Sky Soccer Saturday at The Mayflower tonight??

Do the club still employ a PR company to post on messageboards?
miserableoldgit replied to dune's topic in The Saints
Don`t worry! There are still plenty of "Barrack Room Lawyers" on this forum who are prepared to convict, more often than not without any REAL proof, to keep the "retarded threads" going for a long while yet. -
Agreed

Obviously Dune. Classic double bluff. -
This is really ****ing me off. I, like most people , think of MLT as being an absolute legend for this club and generally will not hear a thing against him. On the other hand, I feel that NC is doing a good job of rebuilding Saints after what we went through 2 or 3 years ago. I feel that the truth of the situation (as usual) is somewhere in the middle. We have people (over)reacting to an article that appeared in The Sun (yes - The Sun!!) and splitting the the fan-base into pro/anti Cortese/Le Tiss camps. We are top of the Championship, have an excellent squad, a superb manager and the prospects for the future are more positive than we could realistically have hoped for but still we end up with petty arguments, stoked up by the media. FFS get real and enjoy the ride!!
