More reflective of the number of people on our database then the club. At least with the 'no freebies or concessions' rule it prevents abuse of the club. Even given that though Matt did get a concession to be permitted 3 tickets for the game. There will be no winners as long as this pathetic squable continues though.... it's a damned shame.

Stick them all in a Zorb ball and push them off the top of Snowdon together. That should give them sufficient time to hammer something out.

No. But I have been reading a lot more Saintsweb then usual.... even for me.

If you do not control your emotion, your emotion will control you.

He is the greatest player we've had in recent times. And in my personal experience a very humble man....... but that's the key word, man, as failable as any of us. No-one involved in this obsurd charade will be blameless and that it has elevated to this level should reflect shame on all of them.

Football brings out the worst emotions in many people. This level of uproar is a good example of this.

Well, considering that my fiancee and I have estimated a cost for the day (excluding dresses and flowers) or approx 700 pounds...... jesus..... We have selected a beautiful village hall in herefordshire at £75 rental for the whole wedding weekend and a church at £375. He uncle is doing the entertainment and PA (he is in a band and has all the decks and amplifier equipment we need) and have arranged a local pub to send bar service for free on the reasonable condition that they collect all takings.

It's come to this, really......

This is a f**king horrible situation. Perpetuated by the emotions and fondness of our greatest player in recent times and pitting it head to head with a chairman who has seen the club become at the very least relatively succesful but has done somethings which have annoyed certain parts of the fanbase, yet because he is pragmatic and seemingly vain he is not considered very likable. The timing of this is awful, not that there could ever be a good time. It will only polarise the fans at a time when we NEED to be pulling together. Without Cortese we wouldn't have had Markus Leibherr (and men like him do NOT arrive everyday, just ask the Skates, Derby County, Sheffiled Wednesday etc), without Le Tissier and the ilk we wouldn't have the memories, thoughts, pride and identity that define us as all as 'Saints.' There is too much vanity from ALL concerned and not enough humility. Peace is the only resolution where we emerge stronger.

At no point in the article did Cortese directly criticise Le Tissier. There was a statement that Le Tissier has criticised him..... Which is undeniable and another statement saying that there was a need to put an end to freebies. He says 'all these people,' not Matt Le Tissier, not Benali, Not McMenemy..... no specifics. There is a heap of reaction over nothing. It's such a shame. Incidentally, a reasonably relevant blog I wrote a few months ago: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/entry.php?52-Chicken-vs-Egg

From the sun article: "Cortese says he is not "confrontational" but he has also clashed with former Saints manager McMenemy and legend Le Tissier. He said: "Yes, Lawrie McMenemy and Matt Le Tissier have criticised me but they should know no one is more important than the club. "I simply couldn't accept all these people trying to get freebies here, freebies there." So, an acceptance that there has been a clash with Le Tissier in the past and a mention of needing to stop demands for freebies... There is not an explicit link between Le Tissier and a demand for freebies just an statement that free tickets are a thing of the past in any shape or form. The need for a policy of that sort, as harsh as it may be in some quarters, is sensible... it will get rid of anyone trying to take the club for a free ride. The reactions on twitter and of Jeff Stelling are very dissappointing, all emotion and no thought.

We had to dig in, our tactics at time were questionable, yet we still had chances to win it and gained a worthy away point. And yes, still top of the league. Worse things happen at sea!!!

A draw away from home. Acceptable.

Yes, it's WOOOOOOOOOTing time!!!

Now what he doesn't want to do now.......

Well, could be another first today, first draw of the season.

Sounds as though he's been playing well... Would deserve it.

Come on!!!!

Well, that sub seemed to kinda work.

Ha!!!

Morgann!!!!!!! Get in there!!!!

Half an hour to go, COME ON!!!!!!!

I would quite happily accept a crap server over a loss. Silver linings though

It was always going to be Austin wasn't it! Oh well.

Absolutely, one rule for all, no shades of grey, no room for abuse. It's the only fair way.
