To give Lowe his due, the way he handled the Jones situation was one of his finest moments. The reality is Jones could have been sacked for results and if he'd stayed in charge we'd have gone down. Jones was under unbelievable pressure at the time and it had started to show. Although he might not have liked it at the time I wonder if on reflection he realises it was the best solution for all. I don't particularly rate Jones as a manager but the way he carried himself during that time shows he is a decent, strong bloke who deserves a great deal of respect.

Behave, he's a big, fit, strong lad. It couldn't have been that bad as he didn't go off did he. If you take a right hander on the jaw you ain't getting up. He did and managed to play another 15 minutes of football.

Why?

Why is he the biggest loser? Some fans are showing their true colours. I think we are starting to sort out the real Saints fans from the Nick Nack consumers.

Are you condoning diving in football Colin?!

And clapped at 100 mph all over the top of it.

I was trying to remember who it was that did that. Fair play to him.

But earnt the respect of every man in the country.

Exactly. He needs to come along to Krav and learn a few stress techniques. Then he's know how to react after being attracted when not expecting it. That's the trouble with footballers these days, too pampered.

Can you not say things like that. It's not helping the witch hunt on here against Leeds fans. We've already had someone say most of them are scum apart from a few nice ones because he got assault by one 20 years ago.

No Colin. We were talking about if Kirkland went down easily or not. IMO he did, It was a two handed push in the face, only one hand connected, he went down like he'd been shot. and I said that should not make a difference, I feel I've been very clear on that.

And only one hand connects, the other one brushes his cheek.

Exactly. I can honestly say I get hit harder at Krav Maga every week. And just for the record I'm in no way condoning it or saying the div that did it doesn't deserve to be punished.

Tsk, you don't lift a kettlebell, you clean, swing or snatch them.

Two things. He's a 6 foot 3 14 stone athlete. It was a push in the face/neck not a punch and only one hand landed cleanly. It wouldn't have hurt that much. I'm in no way condoning it and doesnt make it right but personally most people I know wouldn't want to have shown they were hurt, even If we were. Anyway it's irrelevant what I'd have done, I'm not a proffesional sportsman and the dinlow that did it will get sent down for it.

Warnock did also say he was embarrassed by it and they should put him in prison. Obviously you forgot to type that. And Kirkland did go down easily. Not condoning it, but he did. Most men I know would have stayed up and smacked the ***** back, or at very least made out they weren't hurt.

That's not true, we can assume you aren't a skate living in Coventry. He probably is a fan, he's also a complete p*ick.

Why? Leeds are a massive club with fans all over the country. Can we assume you are not a saints fan as you live in Coventry?

Probably not. I've posted it before.

Its not really unusual these days for a chairman to be involved in transfers. What I find very disturbing and it's not the first time I've heard it, are involvement in team selection and formations.

It's pretty clear Colin.

Because it would be totally out of character for him to over react. Like when he banned Illingsworth for posting an article on a spaz board he didn't like. Like when he banned the echo for publishing an article, which was actually positive, a day early, when it was already in the public domain. Like when he sacked Adkins last summer And Reid had to tell him to stop being a lemon. Yep, given the history if there is one thing we can be sure Cortese won't do it's over react.

Im not saying MLT is.its the blanket dismissal of anything anti Chairman as usual. Some fans now even turning our our greatest legend such is their obsession with Nick Nack. I certainly don't take everything he says as gospel, but I think what he says should certainty be given some credence as he's better placed than a lot to know what is going on inside the club. Sadly, some people are just dismissing him as a bitter ex player, which is a disgrace.

But MLT has said he'll happily sit down and discuss it all with nick nack, nick nack doesn't seem to want to. And hilarious that you would accuse MLT of being immature. What about Nick Nack when he refused to sell Illingsworth a season ticket for saying it was wrong to remove the instalment plan with no warning?!

I would describe it as pretty paranoid and obsessive behaviour. But hey, it's pretty normal in the business world!
