Block 5

I shall be there with the usual suspects.

It's very rarely that I agree with Alpine Saint but today I do. During recession, the art market is traditionally one of the first to suffer. To sell art now would be absolutely foolhardy. It would not realise it's true worth at market. Here's a crap analogy for you....... If the England team started having trouble due to the current economic climate, would you be happy to see the contents of the Tower of London sold off to pay Ashley Cole, Fat Frank, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand's wages? Would you ****!

What he said.

Haven't we been here before? I'm sure someone has asked Virgin and their response was along the lines of Virgin would not sponsor a football team because that would be 'regionalist' whereas Virgin is a national/international brand. Their fear was that by sponsoring a team from a particular area it would prejudice markets in other areas, ie. no one in P****mouth would buy Virgin products. (I'm sure they all use Tesco value mobile phones anyway!)

Sat behind LC at Loftus Road this season. He was in with the fans, not off lording it. Lowe & Wilde would never do that!

Mark Fry seems to be painting a bleak picture. However, it would suit him to say that things are bad. If he were to say "I will have a buyer sorted within the week" and then found a buyer then no one would bat an eyelid. If however, he emphasises the potential extinction of the club and then finds a buyer, well, wouldn't his personal kudos swell? Remember that administrators are in business too........

SFC Together Forever!

who want to buy the club? Whispers, rumours and speculation here please....

So who is running SFC Ltd?

No announcement on LSE yet. Therefore no resignations yet.

No.

Ha ha ha ha ha etc etc.......

You do get reduced prices for EVERY home game.

Are you Stanley in disguise?

Everyone has said they want Ryan Smith to go. In light of Wotte's praise after his reserves performance yesterday, do you still feel the same?

Interesting name...... Are you Jamie Reid?

I rest my case.

Were you there Stanley?

"I say, referee, old bean. You are a cad and a bounder."

This forum is becoming more and more like the letters page of the daily mail. Ormerod got jeered. Boo hoo. It's banter. It happens at football matches. Grow up. Ormerod earns more in a month than most of us earn in a year, I'm sure he can cope.

I have seen police wearing no identification numbers, completely out of control. I have witnessed them beat women to the ground with truncheons. Believe me, there is nothing more scary than being in a situation where the 'guardians of law and order' are the ones who are acting like criminals. It does happen. Respect must be earnt, not given freely, without question or accountability. I'm glad you go to games. But it's a shame you weren't at this one. You could have told the Saints fan that you have villified publically in this forum, that you think he should have been sterillised, and that his children should never have been born. Stanley, you are an arse of the highest order. Mods, I'll take the infraction points.

A pointless post IMO, unless you actually heard what the fella shouted at the ref.

That's the way I read it too. An experienced copper could have turned the situation round and had the fella back in his seat with smiles and laughs all round. The reaction was over the top, unprofessional and unnecessary. It was bad policing, and it created a potentially dangerous situation: quite a few people started jeering and shouting at the old bill for their mob handed approach to the incident. It could have got pretty ugly in a very short space of time.

The fella was stood behind the hoardings, shouting at the ref. Last time I checked this wasn't a crime. A policeman asked him to move back from the hoarding and he started remonstrating with them about the referee. At no point did he take a swing at them. What followed was beyond belief, the Saints fan (and yes, he IS a fan) was put into a neck lock and an arm lock by half a dozen uniformed meat heads. His 2 sons were understandably upset, the eldest of them was grabbed by another heavy handed policeman and arm locked, while the younger promptly burst into tears. The father was dragged away and ejected. I have no idea if he was arrested. I have seen them all at plenty of away games and not once have I seen them cause trouble. Yes, they are vocal but that hardly makes them criminals does it. I am amazed at some of the comments on this thread, mainly by people who weren't even at the game. I think a few of you should get up off of your behinds and start supporting our team by going to watch them play, instead of spouting your biggoted viewpoints on internet forums. And as for you Stanley, with your comment about sterillisation.... you should be ashamed. I despair of some of the narrow minded people on this forum. You sit in front of your computers and say these people have no place at our club......... and yet you don't even bother to go and support our team! I'd rather have one true Saints fan who goes to away games and mouths off at the ref for a dozen lily livered sofa surfers who never go to away games!
