He was pointing the finger at SR the other day with the article about Ralph being on the way out. He obviously gets on well with Semmens and Ralph. Can’t help but feel this is basically been set up as PR stunt by the current board to get the fans on Ralph’s side

doesn’t sound like this is going to be neutral. Saints fans are arrogant to expect us to be comfortable, Ralph is building a new squad, loads of other clubs have underachieved 🙄

Yep that’s it, all incidents are reported to the league who then notify the club secretary. Also clubs get random visits from the league and FA to make sure they have all the correct things in place, respect barriers etc and watch the behaviour of parents and kids. It’s all taken very seriously

It's not a question of intimidating children, stamp on the arguing back from the start and be firm and consistent but also fair and approachable. You dont have to be like a little hitler but that approach generally nips any on pitch aggro in the bud. At grass roots level it comes down to the leagues and the clubs to sort out the behaviour of their players, parents or supporters. At the club i coach at and in the league we are in we have very strict rules of what isnt acceptable. Parents have to agree to a code of conduct when they sign their kid up, have to stand behind respect barriers, not shout at the ref or players etc. We've had to tell a couple of parents they aren't welcome due to their behaviour, if they dont like it then we point to what they agreed to when they joined the club and if they dont like it then they are not welcome If that means they take their child to another club so be it. You tend to find that usually sorts out the issue. Unfortunately it seems a lot of clubs dont have the same set of rules.

I have to ref kids football, kids of 9 and 10 years old at the moment. I've not had any abuse probably because i'm a 6 foot 15 stone skinhead that would be able to snap most of the snobby parents where we live in half. The kids are fine as long as you're firm and consistent, some refs have got abuse and been called names but i stamp any aruging back out straight away with a point at the whistle and a glare. Maybe we should look to get more decent lads that wont stand for any abuse as refs than people that look like accountants and moderators on football forums?

Lyanco as front sweeper?

We will get over powered in midfield again, they seem to be picking up after a slow start and are a very good team. Think it'll be another disappointing defeat, probably quite comfortable for West Ham, 0-2.

Why AMN? He played over 130 times for Arsenal, also played in the premier league with WBA, played in Europe, played for England! If anyone should be able to come in straight away its him.

Is he? Or is it the classic of having his best games when he's not playing. He's obviously a very good player but he's only played 4 games and 60 minutes, one was a heavy loss, one was a loss against a rubbish Man United team who hadn't won away for ages, another was a terrible first 60 minutes where we were 2-0 down against a poor Leeds side. You could easily agree we've been pretty crap when he's played as well. I hope some of our fans dont think things are going to magically improve when an 18 year old who has only ever played 4 full premier league games is available again

Bloody hell didn’t realise he had died, only 54. the problem he had was that he played as what would now be called a number 10 for Swindon in those days it was just called a central attacking midfielder, where he was good, she. He joined us he was pushed out to the left of midfield which wasn’t his postion. £1m was a fortune for us back then so fans expected him to be brilliant. Of course he went down the road and was a really good player for them. Yet another example of us spending big money on a player and it not working out. there was also that scandal about his testimonial where he hadn’t got paid the money months after it had taken place, rumours Pompey had pocketed the cash and were going to pay him later. The chairman was asked directly about it and said it was something to do with they were waiting or him to confirm how he wanted the money or some nonsense. All very strange

Nor me, sadly I’ve not seen anyone worse than us and our current form over 20 odd games sees us finish the season with about 22 points, bottom of that happens.

Best league in the world, every year it gets tougher etc. WALB. The top teams improve everyone else from about 8th down stays the same or gets worse.

Very likely we will kick off against West Ham in the bottom 3. Forest away at wolves, a win for either they go above us a draw we will be level on points as wolves with the same goal difference.

Well it looks like the idea of buying a load of kids and throwing them into the premier league is going to be a disaster….

Who doesn’t?

Forest beating Villa, as it stands only out of the bottom 3 on goal difference Gerrard must be very close to the chop, spent a fortune and made them worse.

When did you have it? Most people I know had a vaccine between 10 months to a year ago when there was the omicron panic, remember we were told the vaccine would be very effective for 6 months then start to wain. So if you haven’t had a vaccine in 2022 then you’ve probably got very little or no protection against it.

You joke but it’s the sort of thing we’d do

He adds an emoji on my posts every now and again to let me know he’s still about. Bit like the ex you dumped who every now and again turns up and your local, spends the whole night staring over but looking away if you look at her.

Osvaldo was quality he was just a complete nutter.
