Okay i give in, it was probably the most stupid idea i have ever seen anywhere, whoever came up with that idea needs sacking.

damn, i wanted to get all 11, put them on sticks and pass them to my friends so we can wave them at the TV cameras during the game. How did they select the 5 though? Surely some of the players who didn't get selected wouldbe upset that they are not as popular as the others, do you think this might effect their performance on sunday?

its quite obviously really, the main route to the ground from the train station was always going to be a flashpoint, as was outside the away end, keep away from those areas and i doubt you'd have even seen a skate let alone any aggro.

no i geniunely thought it was a great idea, the only problem was that if you wear a face mask it would smudge your face paints, if they could get ronud this major issue it would perfect.

oh right a total **** then, best not forget my wig and face paints sunday or people wont think i am a regular match goer.

He's not saying be soft on every crime, but i totally agree that the punishment dished out for football related "crimes" are well over the top in compaision to those given out for non football realted offences. If someone had thrown a stone on a friday night in town they'd get a £50 fine, at football likely 200 hours community service. The reason is absoultely totally completely that it is high profile and that eveyone salivates over football related crime. The plastic wannabe hooligan love it that their club get recoginsed as having a hooligan element, some take the tut tut, silly boys thought and there are an element which believe every football thug is Ian Huntley in Stone Island and should be publicly executed. The papers love it because it sells papers, just have a look what is the most read story on the echo site, everytime any football violence related incident takes place. The police love it because it gives them the chance to cover themselves in glory as they can exagerate the incident and claim how by banning, jailing, comm serving these mindless thugs the world is a much safer the place. The truth is like it or loathe it you lap it up and it fasinates everyone, its high profile media driven and they use their standard lines like "it resemembled a scene from Braveheart" "mindless thugs" enjoy reading the stories, posting about it and talking about it, we all know secretly you lot cant get enough of it.

What does a regular match goer looklike then?

Bolton v man u Brum v Arsenal Spurs v Skates Chelsea v Villa i usually six fold and put a couple of long shots in to get a decent return but have never won **** all in about 18 months so going to settle for little and often ;-)

so a double saturday of man U an Spurs is looking good, would you do an accumulator for Man U, spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal?

Whatever the reason its pretty disapointing, got all excited about it and then let down again, typical bloody echo.

Why? Is it one of those ones that flies like they had in Back to the Future 2?

Surely the'd have checked that out before starting printing them though? i am sure there are 1000's of disapointed fans just like me who feel the echo have failed us again.

Does anyone know why the echo have stopped printing them? They only did about 4 or 5, i thought they said they were doing the whole team. I was looking forward to putting them all on sticks and passing them round all my mates so we can have one each during the game.

You THINK that is the reason??!!!! What do you mean you THINK that is reason?!! I assumed you would know for a fact!! I been on tenterhooks all day because of this and it turns out you are no more ITK than any of us!!!

They have to go against everything 99% of posters on here seem capable of and use their initiative to find a way of swapping the tickets over so they have the correct ones.

come on lady saint, tell us, i've come onto here 15 million times today desperate to hear the real reason why the odd socks, i hope you dont tease your boyfriend this much....

its all well and good posting all these but we all know it'll be OWTSGMI and COYR with the odd anti pompey song thrown in every now and again.

all those scouts that matey boy is taking will probably start singing ging gang gooley gooley gooley ging gang goo etc..... and who said any anti pompey songs would be embarassing.

3-1 saints, Lambert to score first.

your ends too big for you

the first bit is terrible, its tails off a bit in the middle and the less said about the end the better but other than that, excellent.

my tickets dont have anything ripped off, they are both adult tickets though, am i going to be able to get in okay?

indeed, or "where are you lot every week?" or "we'll meet again, dont know where dont know when, but i'm sure you'll all be moaning you cant get tickets when we're in the prem"

i dont think it'll be that great an atmosphere to be honest, got to remember over half our of fans that'll be there dont go regularly so the only chants they will know will be come on you red and owtsgmi, the latter will of course be sung at over 50000 mph.

I also forgot that glasgow Saint would complain that not only are our socks of poor standard if they need tape to be held up but why is our kit made by Umbro. It should be Armani, Prada or at the very least gucci, i mean why settle for second best?
