'Thoughts' and 'inputs' are not printable, else we too could be here: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=17591 ..!

Allow me to interpret. The Skates are so p i s s e d off at the huge pile of s h y t e in which they currently lie, they have decided to take action. Not being the brightest of fans, they don't really know who to blame, and so they are going to take retribution on their own insomuch that the Stewards are going to get a right good kickin' during the Wigan game. Or words to that effect - my skate is not fluent, but passable. HTH..!

I dispair - really I do.

Sad, people who run these forums deserve not to be subject to such unwarranted attentions. Lessons could be learned from thier misfortune.

Looks like Pompey are not the only ones suffering financially though - Hull appear to have problems that the FAPL are scutinizing as well: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5657545,00.html Perhaps Twentytwentyvision (post 3106) is nearer the mark for more teams other than Pompey....

I once helped to organise 2 training matches between Leeds and Harrogate Railway, amongst those playing were Gary Speed, Gary Mac, Rod Wallace, Lee Chapman and a certain WGS as well. Have to say that they were all great to me (perhaps the fact that I was hosting them had something to do with it), but as a result I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Leeds Utd.

Steve William - could have achieved MLT like status, but the lure of the boyhood club was too great, shame really - but understandable at the same time. More recently, probably Dean Richards although that might well be due to ill health rather than form. To be honest, I am not surprised that the likes of Gareth, Chris and Drew are no more than bit part players now. All are young - it's quite a step up to the big league so perhaps they have time to impress yet.

Needs a police escort to venture out these days...!

Before I comment I would like Gemmel to define 'old git' as I really would not want to incriminate myself if at all possible...!

I was going to ask who this was as well. Snowballs, real regular here, good contributions too. Like Hypo, would really like to know how he is doing if anybody has any news.

The man sounds confused to me - agreed we scored 3 goals but didn't think the score was 3 - 1. Apparently you can just 'forget about the last goal' - is this a new rule that I'm not aware of...????

There are lots of contributor that I miss, some made me laugh, some made me cry, some made me smile others made me frown, occasionally some made me sit up and think. I have never felt the need to hit the 'ignore' button on anybody posting here, even though our views might be at opposite ends of the polar spectrum, or fisticuffs had been threatened during the course of the (ehem) 'debate'. I suppose, a bit like radio presenters - who you never really get to see - I try to put a face to the poster, and then try to build up some sort of impression of the person with whom I am sharing this space. I try to guess their age and profession etc. I happen to know with one particular poster I got this wildly wrong - but there you go, the 'voice' behind the radio show is rarely the 'face' that you expected - is it? I liked Um, found Navys stuff intersting, dispaired of Stanley, hated Tommac and laughed my ass off at Life Long Saint - but the bottom line was - they all (in thier own ways) contributed to this forum. Anybody remember Roman - worked in the TV industry I believe - always made well grounded and informed points, whatever happened to him? I've sparred with a few during my time here - unfortunately I never get to games, (shyte) so have to rely on the few televised oportunities to make any sort of real infomed opinion, and as a result my options for credible debate are a little limited. That said I have enjoyed bantering with many here, Delldays, Alpine, The Nicks, Phil and Derry (more width please) - so long may it continue. I also love to read the very quick wit of a few here, Benjii, FTF, Hypo and Verbal all spring to mind - I tend to stear clear of giving these guys ammo. There are so many on here that contribute and it is unfortuate when somebody decides that they no long want to 'hang out'. But that said - I also think that life is too short to let what somebody, whom I have never met, nor am I likely to meet, influence whether or not I post on an internet forum. As I said - I have not (nor am I likely to) ever put a poster on ignore - I am thick skinned enough to let that which I do not agree with wash over me, whilst enjoying those posts from the 'usual suspects'. Keep posting everyone - thanks.

Jeeezzeeee - so are we all in love again now, what was all that about - wrong time of month for everybody...? It's a forum, room for free speech, many different opinions (different being the operative word), but it ain't worth loosing any sleep over. BTW - would anybody PM me if I made it public that I wanted to leave - I feel I need a dose of 'sympathy via PM' - c'mon, get typing or I'm outta here...!

Jeeessshhhhh - trust you to cite being 'banged up' as a bloody alibi....!

In real points - we are only 1 off the play offs...

The fact that Wycombe are winning may actually help us in the long run because it means they are keeping Exeter in the mix as well - so it's not all bad news.

Link please...???

Duncan, I'm not asking anybody to 'shut the comedy store', far be it from me to ask you all to quieten down - let's all have a good old laugh at them, they did while we were having tough times. But as you rightly point out football is now no better than politics, and that, as far as I am concerned, is not right. We want to portray a family image, we abhore violence and want it ousted from the game, we will not tolorate racism - but we are happy for dirty, greedy and corrupt people to be associated with football. Surely something is morally wrong. Yes it is good to see the Blue Few suffer, but what if it was us, what if Mr Liebherr was not the fine upstanding pillar in the community, what if he did not extol good ethical values and demonstrate excellent business acumen - would we still be happy. The answer is actualy probably yes - but only if the results were the same. The problem being though - as I alluded to before, without a professional business plan, results are unlikely to follow. Hence Pompeys current predicament. It is time for the FA to get involved in takeovers to ensure that those buying into our product are in it for the right reasons and not merely looking to make a fast buck on the back of a club going to the wall.

Have to say - I tend to agree with this. NEEDED - New Broom to Sweep Clean. Time to clear out a lot of the deadwood and start again. Let's be honest, the whole situation is farcicle and whilst we may derive great pleasure in watching the Blue Few lurch from one disaster to another - it hardly does the reputation of football in this country any favours whatsoever. We have LLS whilst they have fake Shieks - footballing whores, out to make a quick buck on the back of fan loyalty. It is time for the FA to intervene, toughen up the FAPP checks and ensure that those people vying for ownership of Clubs over here, have the experience, business model and finances to conduct a professional operation. Too many Mickey Mouse operatives muddying to waters of what essentially is big business - time for change methinks.

Does this mean that my Currys surround sound is poo - it sounds good to me too...!

Ripped off - not at all, you're unique - would you like to purchase a club t shirt, 20 quid...???

Just for clarity and to avoid any 'whispers' I think you mean the Mickey Mouse club and not the Micky Mouse club...!

There is a fine line between cheating and exploiting loopholes - which our recent history will hold testiment to. I personally don't give a toss about what he did - I wish he had got the 10 grand or whatever it was. To me he deserved it. I think there was a case recently where a garage petrol pump was dispensing at a much reduced rate for some reason. There was a long long queue to use said pump - nobody rushed to tell the 'unfortunate' seller of the mistake. 'Tis but human nature to make a few bob...! As for the Sun - well it is just that, the Sun - will it be remembered tomorrow - probably not. Interesting though that Bruce never made the top 10 - isn't it..!!!???

Strange really isn't it - HR is a man that actually has been honoured with the 'Freedom of the City', yet he probably couldn't have got out of there quicker if he tried...!
