Mr X

well said!

Some people are such moaners attractive football is just a bonus, i couldnt honestly give two hoots wether we hoof it up field and the ball dribbles over the line as long as we are winning games and scoring goals then i am happy! This league isnt about attractive football. Its more important that we get out of this league and back in the championship where we belong. Looking at a three nil win etc on paper and saying your not happy cos it wasnt "attractive" is pathetic, is there no pleasing some fans?

Totally agree. Yes I am very frustrated at a loss especially to a side considered one of the lesser teams, but why cant some fans put things into perspective we are going to lose games and one loss does not equal the end of our season!, some people really do need to get a grip we are still in there! that said I understand fans frustrations

Shouldnt we be adding bournemouth to this debate? they're the real club performing miracles!

amen to that!

Thats exactly the type of homophobic behaviour ive come to expect from this village! good day to you!

One poxy little cover surely if they are that hard up surely they coulda asked for the fans to each bring in a tarpaulin

Do prado was bloomin awfull today hardly completed a pass gave the ball away constantly and his tackling was horrendous i say blame him! blame him! blame him! lol

still avoiding the question of why he sacked pardew other then saying it was many reasons, sure i didnt expect him to say anything in detail about him but that was just a dcomplete cop out, oh well he hasnt made any catastrophic decisions yet i guess and adkins is doin reasonable so will have to trust him

nail on head

these are the teams we need to beat to keep the dream alive! sounds like we are dreadfull at the moment

Thanks for everyones thoughts on this and despite what dronskisaint thinks i wasnt attention seeking, why in gods name would i open myself up to abuse? Mods feel free to close as and whenyou see fit

I dont agree with gay pride either, think its totally redundant as you cant be proud of something you have no control over and the whole rights thing has been sorted so to speak, i do appreciate the people that fought for those rights though. Yes definitely i dont see anything wrong with a little lighthearted banter its when people cross the line into being malicious with intent that needs to stop

well this is impressive took 25 posts in before somone confirmed that theres always one muppet on the forum. I certainly didnt choose to be gay why would anyone choose a life of discrimination? anyway like others have said your just fishing for a reaction by trying to think of something controversial and delighting in peoples reactions. And yes I think your entitled to your opinion but this reeks of just trying to be controversial for the sake of it

Cant tell if this is serious or not? as you live in the land of ultimate irony and all that

Have to say it seems that things have moved on a little for the majority of people...... most people realise somones sexuality doesnt make them any different as a person and that we share the same goal of supporting are local team and wanting the best for them. Theres always going to be the minority of 14 yr olds chavs where their intelligence doesnt go beyond sexuality jokes and bullying but thats to be expected. Am pleasantly suprised with the reaction to this thread more "couldnt care less" comments than i was envisioning, thanks everyone. Noone answered the original question so cant comment on that

hehe I expected some responses like this and am not offended, but did you read the question?

Yes I realise their was no specific point being made in the thread however I did ask a question though, just wanted to see if generally views had changed on a modern forum. Thanks to those that have replied

I realise i have probably posted this in the wrong section apologies. Thanks for the reasoned comments there appreciated. Yes i think things have moved on generally just still a little stigma over things. Its kind of cool as most people don't even pick up that Im gay as im not your typical girly guy. Comments are always going to be there from the minority and I accept its part of life, everyone is discriminated for something these days Yes thats very true nothing is ever black and white with regards sexuality. Somehow I doubt anyone else is gonna come forward on here other than me but thats cool to be expected (not trying to make out im some kind of hero or role model far from it!)

I realise this is going to set me up for all sorts of abuse and no doubt I will prob not be able to post on here again, but I thought I'd be brave/incredibly foolish and say that yes I am indeed Gay and have supported the saints since a young age when my dad used to take me to the dell. I just wanted to try and dispell the myth of the stereotype that Gay guys cant have anything to do with typical masculine sports. (and to the imature no i dont support for eyeing players, I have a genuine affinity to my home club and enjoy football as a sport) Maybe saints fans will suprise me with their maturity who knows! What do saints fans think of people like gareth thomas who have indeed risked their whole career?

remember even jermaine wright scored a goal for us!

So its something along the lines of gross miss-conduct a sackable offence that has nothing to do with football issues? maybe it was the excuse cortese needed as it was clear there was a rift from the beggining

exactly what where the players told? oh by the way that pardew guy hes finished at this club..... why you say?.... oh that doesnt concern you just do what your paid to. doesnt exactly build team morale

I fear cortese is playing a dangerous game by keeping fans in the dark as to the real reasons for Pardews sudden dismissal...... if he really wasnt good enough for the job why not have got rid of him at the end of last season giving the new guy pre season? I would have a lot more respect for the guy if he just came out and said these are the resons why i feel it wasnt working and these are the reasons why we needed a change! I still maintain that it wasnt for footballing reasons but some other dispute (we all know the alleged gf allegation) I just dont get why the man cant be honest! A question do you think fans will turn on adkins first or cortese?

because he fears the fans are illiterate? (tongue in cheek}
