If he invented that exam, A+ to him. Not that it'll do him much good in the peadophile wing.

He said similar last time. Even the Skates get it, he has no interest in making them successful, he wants his money. Ownership of the Skates gets him parachute payments. In the same press releases as his 'no longer a reluctant owner' rubbish he also stated they would be run within their means.... With Chainrai in charge they are f**ked. Bring it on.

They would have one season, this season to do that. At nearly 20 points adrift of the playoffs after only 8 games.... No chance. I wonder how much the club is worth to him in League 2. He will asset strip them.

Only if used to set up a pheonix club.

It's never your fault, it's never your fault.... Always the victims, it's never your fault....

A momentus day. The Skates are now having to loan players from Bournemouth's team. This officially signifies them as the fourth placed club on the south coast.

Which week are these scheduled for?

Bloody stalkers.

Leeds will be desperate to avenge the 0-1 mugging we exacted there last year. A Warnock team won't be afraid to live up to the dirty Leeds stereoype either.

It's leeds away! Bugger

Don't ignore the obvious.

Aside for one or two scored by Le God himself, it's a no contest. That goal all the way.

Good to hear.

It's probably why Swansea have ignored it as well. And as a club with extremely high fan influence that is almost surprising.

As someone who has never been involved in any thing of that nature (or any of my friends come to mention it...) it's something I have never needed to know, but yes I accept your point. Offering legal advice for those in the wrong place at the wrong time is one thing, arbritarily judging clubs against a set of their own standards is quite another, at that point they begin to show an inclination towards dictating how certain aspects of a club should be run. I get the impression that you see this as a logical extension of their own ideals, I see it as overstepping the mark. Take an idea such as 'The Football Forum users Federation.' A group of forum users from all clubs group together to form their own list of guidelines on how forum users should be treated by moderators and site owners. Then they form lead tables based on the compliance of these forums to these guidelines and publicise the results..... I suppose it's a question of personal politics, I find the notion of such things to be self righteous, arbitrary and a bit vulgar. Others would consider it as a good idea. It's just my personal view, can understand if others feel differently.

Without the authority, what is the point of their existence? I'm sure they do not do what they do out of a pure desire to keep busy. They are trying to help fans, I respect that. However the grading of clubs on the basis of their own self defined rules and criticising those that havn't adopted them stikes as a very self important measure. Mind you, being in the same company as Swansea and Stoke is a far from bad place to be.

Being against something and not recognising it's authority are two entirely seperate matters.

I love it when groups like that argue, 'But we represent fans like you! We want to do good things for you by working your ideas at board level!' If they specifically took on board my ideas they would immediately disband. I don't doubt their honourable intentions, but a fan on the board; horrible horrible idea.

Correct. Just because a group of people get together, give themselves a badge and claim to represent something, it doesn't give them automatic right and authority to do anything. #coughs#saintstrust#coughs#

Not Swindon, they would really fancy it.

An away trip to Malta in the qualifying rounds v Sliema Wanderers/Floriana then would be excellent.

He's a very special boy.

If we are to have a league cup run lets make it as painless as possible. Bradford at home. Actually, if it's on the week of the 8th October, make it away, i'll be in Halifax with work that week.

I would never have suspected that this gregarious, brash, unfunny idiot from the West Country could be such a ***t.

Two.
