Over the years I think that a minority of Millwall supporters have displayed links with the national front movement and I don’t think that they would listen to reasonable conversations. My own opinion is that the booing can only be seen as racist. Surely whatever your opinion of the black movement is, any verbal attack on it can only be construed in one way. My own experience of Millwall fans is that there are a small minority who use the platform of being “football supporters” to be extremely violent and racist. This is obviously the hard-core few so perhaps if the security videos can identify those who booed (as mentioned on the radio yesterday)someone will be able to have a word with them and ask why they did it

I do think you miss the point as Whitey said 18th June: “The club will also ensure Season Ticket holders receive absolute priority for any ballot allocation should capacity need to be reduced at any stage” They have now changed the goalposts however you choose who is the super supporter. As for your response Egg - the situation has to be fluid I agree, for example the supporters who live in tier 3 (which was not a criteria in June?) have to miss out. However what in a “fluid situation” makes it fair to give Uber supporters a priority unless they are all inoculated? 😀😁 Steve Green although I do have a bit of an issue as to whether they are more worthy or not, the point was first made that the goalposts had changed and surely that is correct.

Sorry thought we were having a grown up debate I am not throwing any toys out the pram, if you think we need to split the fan base into “Über’” fans then that is your opinion. I am responding to Whitey grandads post that point out what was going to be a level playing field has now been changed. He was unduly ridiculed, I don’t suppose you’re an Uber fan ? 😇. I suspect that the money I have spent over the last 60 years of supporting the team is more than someone who has been home and away for say 5 years. So in my opinion my using my pocket money, paper round money etc etc for 60 years makes me a loyal fan but I was happy to go in the the draw along with any other season ticket holder. I am disappointed the club changed the goalposts.

Ok then why does someone who had a new season this year get the same priority as someone who for instance has had one for 40 consecutive seasons? Once you start favouring a certain percentage it stops being a level playing field. I admire the people who can go to all away games some others cannot afford it, have to work weekends etc etc but do not make them any less supporters.

I agree with Whitey Grandad I do not agree that we now have a band of “Elite fans” because they are able to attend away games when lots of others would if they could afford it, not have commitments etc. In my view all season ticket holders should go in the ballot. If you start start divisions perhaps people who have had season tickets for over 30 years for instance should have better chances than some newcomers. I am a bit disappointed they have gone away from a level playing field. nta786 I always knew my season ticket money was an interest free loan and was happy to support the club.

I thought it was a shame that MOTD spent so long looking at the Digne sending off (without realising that it was the second bite at KWP and he had his hands up two steps before he caught him) that they never had time to see the Bertrand penalty and the elbow on Bednarek which I think deserved more.

Yes and I thought they always had the games with most goals first ?

I was told today that Sims and Valery are being loaned out so maybe there is something in the Williams rumour. I do not know how reliable this is but apparently came from somebody at Staplewood.

I would just about accept him back on a pay-as-you-play basis but only if he was willing to pay a reasonable amount ! 😇

No.

This thread is entitled, "January Transfer Window - 2020 Edition" and not who can slag off the Club and owners the most. The thread has got very tedious no one knows what Goa is going to do. but unless he spends loads of money like Poopey he is the worst owner in the league. Do we not have any admin/moderators to get the arguments off to somewhere else so people can see what transfer rumours, if any, there are.

I used to enjoy this thread when we had people up trees watching for movement in but it's now the same old people slagging the club off time and time again. I do not pay my £5 to go through all this dross. For one thing all your opinions are not going to change one iota how the club is run. We have to go with what we have and Support the team. Could all this "I do not like the way we are run" be taken of the main board. I see a lot of the detractors do not even pay to support the forum so could they not have a "I hate the way the club is run" and "I could do better" thread somewhere else and you can bicker to your hearts content

I have always been a great fan of JWP and this year he has added steel to his tackles. I thought the one on Moussa Sissoko against Spurs was special but may be the reason he is out until April. We won’t need to worry about him (or Kane?) if Spurs get through to the next round of the cup. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51026934

I thought the ref was totally inept there were a lot of late tackles he ignored, the No 4 should have gone for the foul and subsequent dissent and after that he lost his credibility. It was interesting that despite the celebration after the "non" goal, the VAR, game stopped for injury, stop for Hojbergs new shirt and the debacle with the no 4 there was only a minute extra time? Perhaps they wanted the ref off the pitch quick to read up on the rule for late tackles. No surprise he is new and will improve we hope.

Rudi Skacel didn't he sign for us

http://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/995925667?-11205:798 From an article on News now it looks a bit safer than the Alderweireld transfer "The fact that it is a loan deal for the 20-year-old, with an exclusive option to buy, suggests that the south coast outfit have learnt their lesson after what has happened in the past".

I am believing any story that we get more than £20m - Danny Ings on a free what a great deal - a nice positive spin

FWIW I heard a rumour a few weeks ago which if true I would have expected to see here but I will post it anyway. It's a mate of a mate who is close to someone at the club rumour. I was told that Lemina's wife and family are living in london whilst he is living down here with his brother (in Bournemouth?). His brother is apparently a bit of a lad and they are out drinking and socialising a lot. It goes on that they took Obafemi under their wing and RH was unimpressed which is why he made the comment about Obafemi needing to be more professional. I am sure somebody knows better but thought I would share.

What a diabolical one sided refereeing performance. Probably the worst I have seen in over 50 years of watching Saints. It ruined a good game and totally ruined my enjoyment - well until the second half when we frightened them with pace and great play. Even when we were pushing on the second half Friend tried to keep them in the game with his decisions most of which have been covered but what about the defender nearly taking Josh Sims head off. I feel sorry for Romeou, he was given a soft yellow for his first foul and he had to be taken off as I am sure the Ref? (if you can call him someone who is there to see fair play) would have loved to bring out a red. How they did not end up with 9 men I do not know. Well done Ralph for the substitutions and keeping the players calm in spite of all those decisions going against them.

Good to see another manager seeing something in JWP and giving him a chance. For me he played his best football for us under Poch's pressing game. I hope he takes the chance to prove the Forum experts wrong.

Yes contrary to all the Forum Experts the new manager sees something in him as well. I thought he worked hard against City and more like the form he showed under Poch when he had him pressing. I also hope JWP takes the chance and shows what he can do.

Disappointed with the result, but we did look tired and Ralph now knows Lemina is not a reliable replacement for PEH. However I cannot see the Officials getting a good score with their very poor performance. Amazing they (well mainly Carroll) were never shown a yellow card. Still should have known the Officials were not going to give us anything when I saw they were wearing the same colour shirt as Fabianski.

I agree with moving the away fans into a corner. If their position was swapped with the Northam/Itchen corner we would have the majority of our singing fans behind the goal. It would also be worth canvassing season ticket holders/members as well as this forum to get a proportionate view from the supporters. I tend to think that some of the views on this forum are not the views of the majority. I also agree that we should have our singing fans in the Chapel and we could ask if they would, in the best interest of the club, be prepared to move so they can make their voices heard. Surely the infrastructure of the stadium could be easily modified for the away fans in the Northam /Itchen corner to leave through the same exits as they are now which would sort out the Police/Safety factors. I think away fans in a corner and especially away from the singing home fans could dull some of the opposition support.

I have reviewed them on Trip Advisor it wasn't good !! I thought they ought to have a Health & Safety visit if they are taking bookings knowing they have a virus. Anyone with connections?

I am afraid I could not give the hotel a good rating on trip-advisor they need a visit from Health & Safety !
