Interesting point point. I heard he was going home for treatment and yet he making a meal for Jos last night.

Yes. I am very concious of this cities history. But then would you have a minutes silence for the people killed in Southamptons Blitz, Soldiers killed from local regiments and so on ? and as DD says why has got to be commemorated at a football match ? We have a Titanic memorial for example............ I am not in any way denigrating any of the people who have perished in any of these incidents. I just object to 1. Football being co-opted for these events and 2.The growing desire by the public to be seen to be doing a spot of public grieving. Another name for it is "Mourning Sickness" some say (including me ) the public displays of mourning are fake and are more for the benefit of the people grieving than for the victims.

I would have thought DD (as a mariner) has a particular right to express his opinion.

There are enough mawkish public demonstrations of grief (especially at football matches) as there is. I loved what the Man utd. fanzine The Red Issue called the people that go over-board about it ......."Grief Junkies" .

Why do you insist on starting your own thread all the time ? There is a match reaction thread.

Of course he was right. He was totally opposed to a fanontheboard AND he refused to stand in the Northam.

Great find ! lol Its true a lot of the fanontheborders were having great fun at the time.

Only to the gullible. He was popular with the fanontheboarders. He used to tickle their tummies and allegedly stood *gasp* in the Northam which as Nick Illingsworth will tell you is the the sign of a dead cert brilliant owner. None of this professionalism nonsense that Cortese has infected the club with.

He's always had an agenda. He's part of a small group thats wants Saints to be a forever parochial club thats always struggling so they can have some influence. In essence the "fanontheboard" lot.

Singing "Pay Up Pompey" must not happen. Spread the word.

He did elbow him in the ribs at one stage I was worried Billy would do some thing stupid.If Im not mistaken Barnard came over to Billy and told him to calm down.

Went mad

Thoughtful and focussed man even at that age. We are so lucky to have him. Also a genius move by Nicola to get him in.

Well said.

Well said. Fitzhugh needs to realise that having a full understanding of history isnt just about parroting the facts and statistics.

They were selling tickets for £5 apparently. Do they really believe they are the best fans in the land ?

They played there last year.Was excellent surprised no-one on here went.

Was working with a portsmyth fan today whos an occiasional poster on P**peyonline and apparently posters are being banned left right and centre in a mood of hysteria. Some saints fans have been busted but also a few genuine portsmyth posters lol! Sounds like a McCarthyite meltdown over there !!!!

Jeez Ive just researched Cover The Night its like politics for people with the attention span of a gnat. Political reality TV. "here is a bad man, he does bad things, lets get rid of him" . Hang on its sounds like American Foreign Policy to me hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Typical American simplistic ********. Kony is clearly a bad man but so is the Ugandan Army he is fighting against. Very little of the money donated to the charity gets used for charitable purposes 80% goes on "administration" fees . Its also supported by idiots like Bono and Rhianna...................

Good day out. Quite a few of us stayed up there for the evening as Siouxsie And The Banshees were playing Barton Hill Youth Centre in Bristol,to put that in perspective they didnt even have a recording contract at the time.

I am normally very measured in my reaction to our results but that Ipswich equaliser has hit me really hard.I hadly spoke to anyone after the game and feel quite depressed today made even worse by the fact I have a day off work so plenty of time to fester on it. Youre not getting a hug by the way............

LOL ! I thought that. and the meeting took place at a "secret location" wooooooh how exciting. Seems to me whatever "Trust" you belong to you have to be a pompous delusional ****.

I think the OP has a point it shows that the club is a castle built on sand. Surely if we had a fanontheboard ™ it would stop this sort of thing happening.

Sounds like they are toast to me. But think about what we have to put up with. Heartwarming stories about the new Phoenix club. Plucky never say die ex-portmyth fans chanting we will be back. A crying Westwood saying you can liquidate us back but you cant take our spirit.... ****kk I hate them already.
