Personally I would b very worried if the management changed their plans for the January transfer window based on one football match and one defeat. Pardew is bot stupid and the changes he has in mind will not have changed based one one football match.

Proactive. Surely if you are active you don't need to pro?

2 to suggest a poll about the best light bulbs that we have used and and 3 to suggest a poll for the worst. 1 to slag off the use of drunken Scottish lightbulbs.

Merry Christmas one and all! And at last we can look forward to the New Year with reasons to be optomistic about the future!

There are a number of teams who have had similar bumpy rides over the last decade and we were never going to be immune to the possibility of relegation. I expect the other fans of teams languishing in the third tier of football are saying the same. Just goes to show that you can take nothing for granted!

Had a wry chuckle at that bit about looking at rugby union, he obviously was unaware of the stick a certain Knight of the Realm got when trying to switch sports!!!

The whole point was that he was being judged way too early. A reasonable amount of time would have been to give him to Christmas and if that had happened rather than that silly its not if we sack him but when thread only a few weeks into his tenure I am sure the fanbase would have been more than happy with his management.

I don't get the whole feeling the need to come out thing. Why do peope think that other people have a right to know about what they do with other people? Frankly I'd rather people kept their private life private. Why does this guy suddenly feel the need to tell us all about it? is it because his career is coming to an end and he thinks this will raise his profile and open the door to other jobs? Is it because he really cares about people in sport who are troubled about their sexuality? Hmmm. I can understand why some people might struggle with telling friends and family...but the whole world? Why go there? Who really cares nowdays?

And you yours Alpine.

Ah, bless you Alps. I am a grown man with three kids and stopped having a "dream team" as you so quaintly put it, when I was about 14 years old. If you had actually bothered to read any of my posts I am sure you would have seen that I am actually very supportive of the new regime and am more than happy with the people running the club. I would like to think that any Saints supporter/fan would be suppotive of all at the club because (as I have said before) if the management structure are successful then SFC is successful. What gets me is the level of double standards on here or the way that people are pilloried by some at the drop of a hat - just in the way I supposed that alleged drunken Scottish people wind you up. As for stimulating a debate that does not exist, I think that you will find that it does exist at the point someone responds to it. Anyway, as you are obviously going to continue to find ways of dragging previous employees into debates which do not exist (even though you join the non-existant debates) I shall do myself and the other posters here a favour and put you on ignore in 2010. Merry Christmas one and all (yes even you you Alpine "Scrooge" Saint)

Oh dear Alpine, you STILL don't get it do you? And for you to call any other fan sad takes the biscuit as the most negative poster once again in 2009. Never mind. "Clueless Scottish soak"??? LOL You are priceless Alpine. Sorry to hear that you have been unwell but good to see you back to your normal self again.

What difference does it make if he is gay or not? Isn't that the point. Do you feel the need to discuss your sexuality for tens of thousands of strangers?

So what? Why in nearly 2010 do we still feel the need to define people by what they do with the private parts? Or not as the case might be?

So why the thread then?

POt, kettle, black DD. I seem to remember you having several hobby horses on her which you flog to death. As ever, if you don't agree say why, if you don't like a thread find one you do! I think I make a valid point. As you keep telling us, isn't that what this place is about?

Why should it be assumed that people who are gay can't be "tough", play hard physical sports and do tough jobs?

I agree that it was a minority, just as it was a minority who were saying a few weeks back that it wasn't a question of if Pardew should be sacked, it was a matter of when. It just goes to show that no matter what anyone does at this club there will always be a faction of supporters who will take a negative viewpoint. For those hoping that this nonsense would disappear along with Lowe, it obvioulsy has not.

It just goes to show that there will never be a consensus on here about anyone or anything. If you cannot see the irony between the the two threads then so be it. Happy Christmas.

Its funny isn't it? Just the other day NC was getting stick for his spat with the Echo! Still, good luck to them both and to the club next year.

If they didn't think that they had a case against him they would have dropped it by now. But it is one thing to have a case and another to have enough evidence of a realistic conviction.

Are you sure it wasn't a waiter?

So we won the game! Simples
