By comparison they should be ordained!

So anyone want to make a prediction then? I reckon the judge will ask amendments to be made to the CVA which COULD see HMRC's claim above the 25% threshold.

ARGH please no football-rumours.

It isn't about flak. I can only speak for myself but I tend to comment on particular issues. I have also recognised what Cortese has done well. I imagine that Steve feels a similar way.

Yep. I think it is the people who react who are infinitely worse.

In this instance he didn't have the support of all of them. It's why he apologised (very grateful for that BTW) and IMO the matter is finished.

Totally agree. I have on occasion been driven to insults by some posters who I think post deliberately to wind people up (like delldays) but I like to think that I am civil most of the time.

I agree with you Smirking Saint that Stu does go over the top and bring it on himself. He does however make quite a few good points on occasion and sometimes puts them across in a reasonable manner, only to be abused or personally insulted. I understand that he gives out his fair share, but that doesn't excuse the same behaviour from others who then moan that Stu is being too forceful with his opinions.

How is that a non story though? Nick actually posted an update saying it was not a clerical error. It's a potentially huge story IMO.

How is that allowed? (Ps I'm staying off the main board but the pull of this thread is too strong!)

So they got a sh*t load of money in January which they promptly used to sign a load of players which helped them get to the FA cup final. Disgraceful.

Most of the topics I have seen of late are able to easily be debated without getting personal. Sure there are some idiots I agree with that. The likes of Stu though, he can go over the top sometimes but it is quite possible for posters to debate the points he makes sensibly but most choose to attack him personally just because of who he is.

But that just gives an incentive to people who disagree with a thread to get personal in the hope that a thread is locked.

Thank you for the apology DSM. If someone jumps on a thread and is offensive then that isn't the OP's fault though. I would suggest that if someone can't debate a rumour or a bit of info that someone passes on sensibly then their posts should be deleted and they should be infracted. That goes for both sides.

I'm making an effort not to post on here at the moment because I am sick of it but this is out of order I feel. Below is the message I have sent to DSM:

The hearing started briefly but was immediately adjourned for the judge, Mr Justice Mann, to read extra papers submitted by the inland revenue. Before the hearing started there were no Pompey fans outside the court. I hope it's a secret weapon!

This is a vendetta by the English Establishment against Portsmouth FC and the city for daring to stick out and be radical and different. We must win or it's a case of 'Street Fighting Man' ! Play UP Pompey ! Lol

Thanks for the constructive comments. Just an idea at the moment but if we could get just a small site going that would be fine by me. I shall make you aware when/if this ever gets off the ground

And in answer to your question you can join and contribute to more than one saints website. I used foreversaints and this place. They both offered something different.

Any serious offers of assistance appreciated. Thanks.

I hope it's OK to post this here. I don't want to compete with this forum, it would just be nice to have something to complement it in much the same way that theuglyinside does. Obviously it would be a hell of a lot smaller than here. I'm seriously considering it and have a domain name. Am prepared to pay a little bit and am basically just looking here to see if anyone wants to help me. If you fancy getting involved then send me a PM.

Duncan your inbox is full...

Let us hope that the off season stuff does not matter. I hope so.

I was of course joking...

I didn't say you were. I just can't remember anyone saying that.
