I believe there is an element of attention seeking but what really annoys me (and quite a few others on here) is the way that you and a couple of others on here (hi Um ! ) repeat blatant agenda led tittle-tattle ITK information as fact. I dont believe you know more than anyone else posting on this board.
Your not going to get a job as "club historian" , none of your drinking buddies are going to be a "fan on the board" and the club isnt going turn into socialist fan led peoples club so get on the bus or shut up.
Most of us are quite happy with the current benevolant dictatorship led by Nicola Cortese
During the last One Dayer at The Rose Bowl Tomlinson was helping Solent with the commentary. He sounded very critical of some of the captaincy decisions.I was really surprised how vocal he was.I hope there are no underlying issues within the Hampshire camp.
I thought with the squad we have and Corky as skipper we were set fair this season.
It is a shame but also true Im afraid. I can remember watching recorded live coverage of the JPT Final on Sky when MLT was an expert pundit and was *****ing about Cortese then.......
Dont forget
4) He was horrible to some staff
5) Made Lawrie McMoneybags pay for his ticket
6) Got annoyed with the blessed St Le Tiss for slagging the club down in the media
7)Is Italian when he should have been a "Legend" or some local bloke who would let a "fanontheboard"
Doesnt like "fansontheboard"
9)Thought having a "club historian" was a waste of money
10)Stopped "intheknowers" from being ITK.
11)Had the temerity to get annoyed with The Echo when they led a campaign against the club.
12)Refused to pay some Pub "Comedian" £50,000 a year (allegedly) to do the half time "entertainment"
Delta Swamp Rock , Sounds From The South: At The Crossroads Of Rock, Country And Soul a rather spiffing Soul Jazz Records compilation featuring The Allman Bros , Lynryrd Skynyrd , Big Star , Johnny Cash etc.
The X Factor comparison is a good one. Just because something is popular doesnt make it a good thing. Its just another happy clappy event for the gullible "great British public". The country has never been the same since drug-addled stay away single bint Diana died in that drunk driver crash on her shopping trip in Paris.
