Or, as the Irish say....a turd thread. :-)

This! (I could get used to this agreeing malarkey!) :-)

I recall that being suggested on several occasions over the last couple of years but I can't recall it ever being tried out.

Hmmm....SISU bid was defo in 2007, albeit later than April/May..... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-494402/SISU-running-patience-Saints-share-offer.html

;-)

Can anyone remember which month and year SISU made their bid? I've got a vague memory that it was around the same time that the share price was being "artificially inflated" (due to the reported Paul Allen interest)....i.e. April/May 2007 If it was the inflated share price that out-priced SISU then we could have 'Tommac' to thank (allegedly) for inadvertantly saving our club afterall.....?! ;-)

Agree with this. He always seems very sincere about that side of his life.

Article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3691926/The-Sun-exposes-the-allegation-that-we-hacked-into-Gordon-Browns-family-medical-records-as-FALSE-and-a-smear.html Video: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/video/sun-exclusive/3692038/Source-of-Brown-story-speaks-out.html The dad who told The Sun Mr Brown's son Fraser had cystic fibrosis said yesterday he was horrified by false claims that he saw the lad's medical files. He said: "I have not had access to the medical records of the child at any time. All of which is the truth as I shall answer to God." The dad, whose own son has cystic fibrosis, told The Sun about Fraser because he hoped to give the crippling condition a higher public profile. And he believed the fact that Mr Brown's family was coming to terms with it would do so. He said yesterday: "I felt vindicated in contacting The Sun. "I just felt at the time that we could have made something positive out of the tragedy and I believe the truth would have come out eventually anyway. It is tragic for the Browns like many other people throughout the years who have children diagnosed. But the fact that they are so high profile could have made a difference." The dad, who has links with the Brown family, learned of Fraser's condition in the weeks after he was born. He did not immediately get in touch with The Sun because he fully expected the news to be widely reported. The dad, whose identity we are protecting, said: "I was very surprised it didn't come out before it did. Obviously people get to know about it. "I did it with the best of intentions and I totally stand by that decision. I have no regrets. I just wanted to highlight this. It's happened to many people and it's just sad that it's happening to another family. A very high profile family."

Maybe it was as 'innocent' as the other father crossing paths with Brown in the hospital corridor or waiting room or suchlike. Edit: as per my post below, it would seem that the two fathers knew each other in some capacity....

Correct. With regards the medical records, it wasn't an overt accusation, it was more implied... From his interview yesterday: BBC Reporter: "The Sun say they got the information (about his son) legitimately" Brown: "Well, they will have to explain themselves. I can't think of any way that the medical condition of someone's child can be put into the public arena legitimately" He was much more direct with his accusations about the hacking into his bank account, tax records, etc.

Hi Sevvy - no, not seen anything. It was just a message that was re-tweeted by a BBC sports reporter yesterday. A sign that the natives (small creditors) are starting to get restless perhaps...?

Nutshell :-)

"ITK" or just a guess? :-)

No. Don't be ridiculous. FFS

It's a good job over-reaction is never interpretable as a sign of guilt...! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14126326

Yeah. I think we got away with it.

Thanks. Done. Hope you posted that heads-up on the other thread too? Better safe than sorry I say.

She probably goes straight to the lady bits in the middle....

If only this wasn't the Muppet Show where being off topic is de rigueur....
