We haven't been playing well but on reflection yesterdays game was ideal for us, away at team in a similar situation to us, a big club with massive expectation playing badly and the home crowd on their back if things aren't going their way. I really believed all we need was one win to kick us off, we have the best first XI in this league when they are playing well, if we can get a result at Yeovil we then go into the Bournemouth game on a bit of run and with some confidence, that is how quickly things can change in football. The point i was making above was that it is easy and stupid to say, if this, this and this had or hadn't happened the result would have been different, of course it would but you can say that about any game anywhere! Like Prefessors negative comments that it was worrying that if Barnard hadn't scored and Davis hadn't made the save at the end we would have lost 1-0 rather than won 1-0, but then you could say if their keeper didn't make a great save from Lambert then we could have won 2-0.

What stupidly pointless negativity this is. If Barnard two shots had been a bit lower and hadn't hit the woodwork twice instead against Orient we'd have won 3-1 and would be midtable now, if Harding had cleared the ball properly against Plymouth they'd never have scored and we'd have another point, If Fonte had cleared the ball properly and Rochdales midfielder hadn't scored the goal of his life, that game would have been 0-0 too, unless Puncheon hadn't missed a sitter and scored instead and we'd have won 1-0, if The ref had given a free kick for the nudge in the back on Fonte at Swindon that'd have finished 0-0, if all of that had happened we'd have 15 points, be third in the table and be unbeaten. If RL and AL had been fully fit all season we might have created more chances and score more so won all those games and would now be on 24 points and top.

This people that slate hammond are mongs and dont understand football. Tis now wonder the mongs on here dont rate him.

sadly not, seems like i am missing out!

I didn't believe those rumours.

Do you know what the problem was?

Has anyone done this? I am thinking about doing it next year, a customer of mind did the northern one last year in 1hr 45 mins. Just wondered if anyone had first hand experience of doing it, looks awesome. http://www.hellrunner.co.uk/index.htm

Like most of you didn't go to the game today, but listened to it on the radio, great to hear them playing well. Jaidi sounded immense, a real rock at the back when he needed to be and they said Hammond had his best game this season, "a real captains performance" These two have come in for a lot of stick recently so only right to praise them when due.

FFS, yet another, player gets injured and wants to leave thread.

it was quality, seems like a top fella.

Coming from a man with a posting history as poor as yours, had a quick look at some of your pearls of wisdom just now, i'm still awake, just.

And your contribution to this and all other threads are genius, you div.

No doubt i'll see you posting on the imaginative "Hammond is sh*t" thread should we fail to win today then.

First point, i never saw him being racist. What you are failing to grasp is that if you dont want to read the posts you dont have to. For me, i enjoyed his posts, because they were different from the "Hammond is sh*t" "Does Rikkie want to leave" sh*t that people spout. Despite his internet Persona he was incredibily easy to give it back to as there was so much ammunition, some of the pi*s taking he was subject too was hilarious and non stop. If you are offended by slapstick and playground humour then i am amazed you know who jay from the Inbetweeners is.

I posted on S4E from the very begining in 99/00, the forum was much more "laddy" in those days and much better fun. it changed after a season at SMS when all the new fans which never went to the Dell jumped on the bandwagon and started their tedious "Who's got a ticket for xxxxxx game?" threads where they would all excitedly talk about drinking three bottles of Alchopops and go on and on and on about how drunk they had been and who ws the drunkest. We had idiotic things like seating plans so forum members could see where each other were sitting at games. Gradually these soft, geeky types took over the forum to the point where like now, anything remotely controversial is immediately jumped on by the PC brigade. The funniest time on the old S4e board when all the newbies joined up was a certain female poster PM'd me saying she was going to "make my life hell" because i had been allegedly bullying one of her fragile, delicate male friends on the forum, who was obviously incapable of looking after himself. This was nothing more than mild p*sstaking but a pathetic reponse.

A golden age of posting?! Someone takes this forum far to seriously i think!! It has gone downhill on here, it has become sterile and bland. SRS/DBP at least provided humour because he was like Jay from Inbetweeners, however he is 30 and fat, so his endless tales of "slamming" women were laughable. Personally i felt some of his posts were interesting and if you read the muppet show and the lounge he was often worth being on here just for the endless blazing he got on there.

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?25122-Who-are-our-gays What about this thread? Locked almost instantly. Hardly slanderous or libelous, what it could have been was a humourous thread of which of our players are most likely to be homosexual.

Not if the pub is full of the posters on here it wouldn't, they'd sit there whinging amoungst themselves then running to the land lord to get the debater banned.

That is the problem, like i said in my OP, anyone controversial is banned or infracted. To many soft, delicate personalities on here that whinge and cry if anyone doesn't agree with the majority view on any subject. As i say, these days this forum is reflective of our fan base, bland, sterile and soft.

Agreed. I've seen his posts for years and was certainly not any more ITK than anyone else. The fan on the board this was a joke.

The laughable comments that Cortese and the Liebhers would "pull the plug on us" if they read this site and saw all the moaning. Like a few minutes spent on here would be enough to make them pack their bags and walk away, writing off the cost of purchase plus any other investment made during their time here because they weren't happy with some of the comments. Judging everyone, even multi billionaires by their own fragile, insecure states of mind.

me too, at least your posts are interesting and sometimes funny.

f*ck off you c*nt

No what?

is that anyone slightly amusing, controversial or entertaining is instantly banned or infracted. Dave Benson Phillips might be a total fat c*nt and a pain in the arse and love his posts or hate them you cannot deny they were interesting, people either agreed or it would start some interesting and often lengthy debates. Saintpaulkiptanui was a funny poster, but he too has been banned, i can honestly say i never found either his or DBP's posts remotely offensive, funny yes but maybe their brand of humour and discussion was too much for some of you delicate little flowers? Dune & Alpine are vilified and they're often seen as controversial or negative views, but at least they are interesting and you have to say Alps was bang on with his assessment of the squad over the summer, someting which sparked lengthty and interesting discussion and something i disagreed with him on at the time. Not seen them on here for a while, i hope they haven't gone the same way. This board has become a victim of its own infraction policy, take away what you might call "personality posters" which the above would fall into, in case they offend or upset the whining majority and you are left with a bunch of sterile, bland posters discussing the same topics with the same bland responses over and over again. In some ways though, i think this is reflective of our fan base. You may not like or agree with the personality posters, but at least they sparked some interesting discussions, i for one think this place is poorer without them.
