Gloucester Saint

It’s revolting, and completely unfounded. But when have his ilk ever bothered with facts or context? He’s backed Tommy Robinson and the AFD over the last fortnight. If it walks like a 🦆 and quacks like a 🦆 it almost always is. It’s also completely inappropriate. Only natural that Kemi and Chris Philip would join him in the gutter.

Fixed it for you

They were singing ‘feed the scousers’, ‘we pay your benefits’ and then later in the evening cheering scouser Stephen Bunting on. Been quite a lot of ‘stand up if you hate Tottenham’ so guessing a proportion of Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham supporters attending.

Seems as if he is ‘one of their own’ to coin the football song. Indy the only major outlet to confirm the ISIS flag initially but CBS now saying it via the FBI https://www.nbcnews.com/video/fbi-confirms-isis-flag-was-on-vehicle-in-new-orleans-truck-attack-228275269955

Unless people enjoy being gaslight, there wouldn’t be much purpose. Better to protest in the stadium.

Needs retiring this summer, voluntary or not. With the helpful stupidity of Rasmus, Wilcox and Martin, him and his agent have swindled enough money already.

There’s been a bit of internal wrangling about whether the barriers were set up quite as originally intended at the market itself just prior to Christmas from a security vs trading perspective. Not seen any more since.

Musk is turning seriously weird. If the article was 1 April that would have been a convincing April fool.

Known AFD supporter but sounds like with mental illness he didn’t know what the fuck he actually was angry about https://www.cbsnews.com/news/germany-christmas-market-attack-suspect-mental-illness/ Usual suspects in Germany and Musk still saw it as a gift https://www.politico.eu/article/magdeburg-christmas-market-attack-europe-far-right-elon-musk/

It’s irrelevant which PL club he goes to, and £10m say is £10m when he’s out of contract in the summer. Not sure he will want that move though.

Would like to see Saints causing an upset but against a pressing side it’s quite unlikely.

Pleased for him, an upgrade in terms of club and some normality to get away from the sheer dysfunction of SR-run SFC.

Would be happy with that, Charles has benefitted from working with Rohl at Champ level.

These modern managers are dreadful with their fixed tactics hiding as bullshit philosophies. Amorim is just an expensive Russell Martin.

Hopefully Rupert Lowe’s political career goes the same way as his time with Saints. Doesn’t live too far from here, in Withington IIRC, although will have a bolt hole somewhere in the Broads. No way someone from his background is living in or near Great Yarmouth!

Needs to be retired, whether the player wants to or not. Find a friendly insurance adjuster to write him off. He’s stolen enough wages already off the club plus a signing on fee. He won’t be fit to play again above lower levels of League One, probably League Two, and bar a purple patch/fluke spell of a dozen games in the Champ he’s unproven outside of League One or lower SPL. We’re not talking Rickie Lambert reeling off 25+ goal returns over several terms.

A few chants of ‘you can stick your fucking spreadsheets up your arse’ would leave no doubt with both sets of fans who it was aimed at. No way our lot would have the guts to sing that at Rasmus though. A good opportunity to see how we should have been playing since August but they have Thomas Frank and we had a village idiot. 1-3 - a batting effort but futile against better players, and a much better club.

I agree with that LD but there’s an elephant in the room - the players would be recruited by Rasmus Ankerson (Bitcon is a front for Rasmus let’s be honest). If we had a genuine, independent, DoF with profile - different story.

As we saw with Russell Martin, many of our fans are not the sharpest tools in the shed. That said, when we did protest against Jones with that brilliant P45 held up, the supporters were disgracefully apparently forcibly ejected. So focus protests at home outside the ground, funeral marches to SMS with some anti-SR chanting and then really go for their throat away from home in numbers with banners.

Although the biggest statement against SR would be thousands upon thousands of empty seats, which is what did for Rupert. Then turn out in large numbers at away games and protest with banners where SFC security can’t confiscate them or eject supporters.

I suspect this is what is riling many posters as the penny drops that this is how Rasmus is holding onto his position within SR, whilst doing it with players purchased via SFC. Unfortunately I don’t think your average supporter has cottoned on yet, because SR would have a very challenging match day experience, which they fully warrant suffering, if they did.

Recruitment of players has to be driven by athleticism and pace. Core attributes for goalkeepers. The smaller, technical players and sweeper keepers are added when you have some success with your core squad and you can afford it.

Our last two appalling owners and Directors of Football ruined the club, not the PL per se I’d contend. That’s not to say I like the PL by any means but we liked it under Adkins, Poch and Ronald, and before that WGS. Saints just aren’t a club which can ever afford to be complacent , take their foot off the gas and or dwell on philosophies thinking they’re smarter. Lowe did it, Reed did it, Semmens did it and Rasmus and Martin did it. And look where it has led. Saints are a sustainable regular competitive PL club with the basics right and no bullshit.

Rasmus is a classic, over-promoted bullshitter. We’ve all come across them at work or when trying to do deals with other firms and they clearly get exposed for how limited they are yet have a way to sucking up to executive boards and smelling of roses. He seemingly stole the credit for Phil Giles work at Brentford as well, which is also classic bullshitter and highly political behaviour. I’m glad about the amount of threads about SR and they are now starting to get the scrutiny they deserve at national level. Whilst I’m not a fan of Alex Crook, we need more posts like his from yesterday.
