Having had to play catch up on here (busy the last few days!) I have only 'skim read' the last 10 or so pages but cannot see the answer to this question : What has made the FL change it's stance on the minus 10 points ? They gave a clear reason in the first place (default of CVA 1) but only a statement without clarity yesterday when they recinded it !

Bloody hell, a Skate preaching about 'morality' ! You couldn't make it up, you really couldn't !!

If anyone wants a quick summary of the 70,606 posts to date on the thread : "They're f#cked !" HTH, Euro.

Don't be too hasty in sticking bets on Plymouth tomorrow night, a friend of mine (a diehard Pilgrim!) has seen most of their pre-season matches and reckons that they'd struggle to beat a pub team right now ! I pointed out that the Skates will be playing their under 16's but he is still not confident ! I'm more looking forward to seeing how they get on v Bompey, that'll be much more of a barometer for the upcoming season !!

Ithink someone is taking the p!ss

Now that you have repeated it, seems that you are actually being serious ! Watch out for the men in white coats, cos they're comin' to get you............

The club made a major **** up on the pricing of all of these pre-season games IMHO ! Maximum price of a tenner and 'kids go free' would for sure have ensured much higher attendances with the additional spending on catering etc.. Granted the olympics didn't help but what's the point of trying to be greedy when it can easily backfire on the grounds of admission price alone ??

That's exactly what Corpse Ho Ho used to say when the last lot of dodgy east Europeans were on the scene !!

the_riddle 10:48 PM on 11/08/2012 Short changing footballers? If the PST are in the position to negotiate with the players it means Portpin have pulled out. Therefore the players will get something or nothing. That's not the PST's fault is it? It's the failing of the club the players signed for. Do you think it's OK what Portpin have done then? Portpin have made them compromise offers they have agreed to, but if you think Portpin will honour these you've not been keeping up. 4 year deals but they are 'reluctant' owners who have said they'll be gone in two years and have a CV which says they've never paid any creditors EVER. 100% of nothing (Portpin's 4 year deferred packages) is not as good as 25% of something (PST's £2m pot which will be honoured) or just £0 (liquidation). Above is from the comments section of the Snooze article re. Portpin's potential pullout ! 'The Riddle' is apparently on the PST board and (believe it or not!) is very sensible and pretty realistic ! For him to say that Chinny cannot be trusted like this, just confirms what most on here often allude to that he is a clever, manipulating, money lender who uses the law when it suits him and flirts with it when it doesn't ! If he becomes Chief Skate next week (again!) then God help them !!!

That's much more like it ! Back to the real Alpine !

Was out this afternoon and came back expecting a landslide of posts on this historic day, only to find half a page of non information ! Christ, the Skates even let us down on (so called!) deadline days ! Barstewards, the lot of them !!

a) Chinny takes over ? b) The trust take over ? Surely they are pretty well f#cked whichever happens ? Probably Chinny will take it, bleed it, then pass it over, another couple of years for this thread and everybody is happy, no ??

Why would that be a year long loan if he only has a year left to run on his contract ? The implication to me is that the Skates would still have to pay some of his wages otherwise he might just as well be sold directly ! As always, I smell something very fishy going on down there !!

My bet is that Chinny will linger long enough to get his dirty mitts on the PP's and then (miraculously!) come up with a new found saviour from the underworld of eastern Europe or Asia ! It is part of his modus operandi and if next time he manages to get his dosh out before they go t!ts up then he'll be on his bike quicker than Bradley Wiggins ! No doubt the plucky few will be naive enough to expect him to become philanthropic all of a sudden but, for us, the fun and frolics will continue apace as we head gallantly towards post no. 100,000 !!

It is total cr@p IMHO ! If only they'd put some black into the new kit rather than on the website things would have been so much better !

They certainly are down Farton way !!

Are you Frank's Cousin in disguise ??

Steve De Ridder "does not cut ze mustard" ! I didn't realise that he had a German accent ??

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-past/new-boy-conor-s-playing-the-name-game-1-4132331 This lad has been down there for 2 whole days and has found the fans (all 4,000 of them!) to be the absolute bestest, bestest, bestest !! Ps. Will any article (ever) in the Snooze not mention the fans ??

What's Lineker done that's so wrong ? As an ex footballer with no media background until Match of the Day I think he has done pretty well ! It's easy to knock people in his position but I don't see on what grounds he deserves it !

Just got a bronze in the ladies heavyweight judo ! Our girl beat a great big lump from Ukraine ! Whooppee ! Ps, no sexy comments available after watching that one !

Could be an interesting day, what with the PTS statement at 11.00am ! Chinny breaking cover and suggesting a role for the Trust also puts a whole new slant on things ! But, not too worry Nutjobs, every which way they are f#cked, it's only a matter of degree and there is plenty of life and laughs in this old thread yet to come !!!!!!!

OOPS ! (accompanied by an embarrassed smile!) Anyway there is really only one NA and it's not that pillock from the Snooze !
