Yet another shameful thread, in particular post 5 is totally unacceptable anytime, anywhere. NO moderation. AGAIN ??

The trouble is that your view is one sided to the point of absurdity. Just for the sake of clarity : 1) It is my opinion Cortese has done a lot of good things but also made mistakes, stating "all the actions Cortese gets abused for can be easily countered " is simply nonsense. I suspect since you come across as an intelligent person you realise that yet like several others you believe Cortese to be the only perfect person on the planet. Try telling all the kids who paraded on the pitch last year proudly wearing Saints shirts but then had to return them that this is the how the club has always treated it's fans and they should not expect anything different, Try telling that to Eastleigh Soul Boy, his son was one of those kids. 2) I have never stated that Lawrie or indeed anyone is beyond criticism. However, the criticism, sniping on here is over the top and indicates, to me at least, that certain people are simply looking for any reason to slate him. As for the reasons I cannot even begin to guess. It is fine to have an opinion, quite another thing for that opinion to be so blinkered and then to criticise someone else for having the temerity to have different opinions.

Well, well, well. I must lead a very charmed life as I know many Muslims ( several are very good friends) and they are the nicest people I know. However, since Watford has a large Muslim community I guess I can expect all out war anytime soon

Did I say he had shown a lack of respect, I think you will find not. He doesn't understand it ( our history) is what I clearly said, are you a journalist who twists words to suit your purpose ?

Oh boy, it's way too late to get started on that point, all I will say those for whom he can do no wrong will try to counter the criticism he gets. Some of the accusations are clearly unfounded, others clearly not.

Cortese will do what Cortese wants anyway. He has many good points, sadly he still has yet to understand and embrace the history of the club.

Indeed. I knew Nick way back when he was in his teens/early 20's. A decent lad who cares passionately about Saints and as a result of his involvement with SISA etc; gets asked often to do interviews. That's it, no big deal, no ego trip, just get over it and realise nobody is perfect.

That is pretty much it. Ironic those who slate him for "saying too much" are doing exactly that.

I knew it already but boy we really do have some dumbass supporters. Pathetic digs at Lawrie Mac, are those of you who snipe really so petty and beyond reproach ?

Who decided his salary ? He sure didn't pay himself !

It is actually quite bizarre that Lawrie has been slated in the past for getting paid....... for working lol

Even better, another 4-0 win..

That's useful, wrong link

Shilton even scored a goal, unfortunately it was against us !!

Saints 4 Man City 0 League Cup 1982. I remember this game well, not just for the score but a downpour in the 1st half drenched all of us not under cover but we cared not a jot. Steve Moran at his best and a lovely goal from Nick Holmes

Yep, it has gone ! I actually haven't seen it so cannot compare it to Keegan's "non goal" in about 1980 which would definitely have counted under the offside rules of today. I'm sure that IS on you tube, maybe Yep it is: What a surprise it was AGAINST Man Utd, at least as good as the Rooney goal IMO. Even allowing for the different offside rules back in 81/82 it should have stood. Armstrong being in an offside position made not a jot of difference

Seems to have been due to faulty electric cables, since horses of course wear metal hooves they were clearly most at risk. 2 horses died, could have been more. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/racing/article-1356655/Cable-centre-probe-deaths-horses-Newburys-darkest-day.html

It's been boring for the last 40+ years to be honest ! In a minute I'll wake up but I totally agree with Turkish

And there my point is proven. I agree with you Fan The Flames.

If he was to blame for that then he should be shot !! Absolutely deserved, there are a few who seem to want to shoot him down. I can only assume they are either not Saints fans or have absolutely no knowledge of what he did for this club ( which probably amounts to the same thing lol !).

No real point other than just to clarify who is being referred to. Didn't we just sign him as another Latvian so Pahars had at least one player he could understand !?

Name: Imants Bleidelis Full name: Unknown Age: 33 Birthdate: 16/08/1977 Birthplace: Unknown Nationality: Latvia Second nationality: Unknown Height: 178 cm Weight: 72 kg International caps: Full international caps Official homepage: Unknown Club Current club: Jurmala (Lat) Role: Player Playing position: Right-winger Secondary playing position: Unknown Squad number: Unknown Transfer listed? No http://footballtransfers.co.uk/profile/imants-bleidelis/1581/

Why ?

He was certainly a player, just not a very good one !
