Hypothetical Question about house ownership...
OldNick replied to saintscottofthenortham's topic in The Lounge
that is not correct , you can only gift a certain amount each year. Not £100's of thousands as the nation would be doing it. -
you are right PES, I want to be fair but that nagging dislike of the clubs disregard for decency pulls me back. Im sure if it was not your beloved team you would be damning. Selfishly I wish saints had cheated and broken the rules and enjoyed 5 years of having top stars wembley appearances and FA cup wins. Those experiences can never be taken away and that is what i dont understand with the pundits when they say 'the poor suffering supporters'. Those poor suffering supporters were the ones before the crooks came into town, and all the clubs fans who were cheated out of their own days in the sun by your club

That's a thought get AA to set it up and it will sail through -

you will not get that past the revenue. It is an obvious dodge and they would contest it. -
It would be great if someone got hold of Dave Docker Walker and got him to retell his days.I used to see him in St Mary st and Millbank auctions some years ago and he would talk about those days. It was engrossing and his stories of Shankley Oneill and mcGrath were superb. You could feel the days rolling back as he spoke. I tried to find out where he was a year or so ago, but the old contacts have died or moved on. I think he was in Totton about 5 years ago.

when you watch a game sometimes you can sense when a team is going to fold. From the first minute Leicester were not at the races. As for the clown who handled the ball Lol and then he tried to look as it was a fluke. he should be playing cricket for Pakistan. Lawrence was head and shoulders above the rest on teh pitch. As for Rocha he was lucky not to get sent off, how he could try and convince the ref that his tackle was not unlawful!!!! I turned over at 2-0 and the sending off, the 2nd was a handball deflecting the ball in when it was going wide. The lucky Pompey heather is working again. Kitson didnt look interested the time i watched but i assume he did score. Quite a good crowd as well considering it was friday night and on Sky.

If AA has only cost them 8ook then he was a bargain.A lot better than Fry and co IMO. British justice has been shown as a sham. Liam Lawrence was a very good buy/loan and he will shine in that league.Stoke and Pompey have an odd connection with the club similar to Spurs

I saw an old dear driving a car sometime ago and the number was something like BLO JO8

these tales of my brother or a friend is normally a guise of it actually being the original teller

it would be justice in a strange kind of way. The buying and immediate loan out was always odd

piece of cake

Woolstonbul and Millbrookholm are pleasant I'm told. You have to watch out for pickpockets though. Apparently the jellied hedgehog and squirrel wraps are delicious. My friends visited at night and they said the local youngsters set fire to their cars, it was traditional they were told and then the little rascals threw rocks at the firemen as a greeting.

Hey mack that sailor you have on your avatar has a big pair of balls

we have had other times when the site has been quiet. The times when the site was at its liveliest was during the takeovers /Burley etc. Then it was bedlam. It may be the lull before the storm. The start to the season has disappointed us and we feel very flat due to that. Having adverts would be a backward step IMO

you've ruined it now, it was much better when people were being obscure

Howard Wilkinson! that bore.I must give NC credit if he was prepared to listen to him more than once. IMO People like him are the reason that English football is as it is. You obviously have a real problem with NC and perhaps let that get in the way. SFC is being run as a business, not a plaything for fans and so there will be decisions that we all dislike. We have the choice to go or not, iam stupid enough to have fallen for the product and will put up with it. I was fully prepared to give the habit up when Hoddle was about to return, but at present whilst frustrated at the lack of new faces in certain areas I will let NC get on with it. The sad death of ML has implications and we are in a crucial time IMO as the family may not be so in love with the club and the hassle may become too much and they may cut and run, so I'd be careful before rocking the boat too much, unless that is your aim of course. We don't know if probate is stopping funds finding their way to the club and NC may well be running the club on the money he has at his disposal from club earnings.

have you heard yet that DP has been interviewed by the Echo Lol

Before you put the sarky HTH you should remember that you were certain we joined the EU at a different time BTF. The hospital only was finished a year ago and is part of a PFI so are you saying it was given the go ahead under the Tories but took 12 years under Labour to get done?
-
I watched with dismay the report on South Today last night about the new QE hospital in Portsmouth , they are already in massive debt and lo and behold it is a PFI and interest payments of 42m a year.Another of the past governments follies, and another way to hide the real debt this country is in.

A nation that allowed its citizens that were unable to pay a bean,to borrow 125% of a loan. The useless government we had oversaw it and sat on their hands. Many were shouting in the wind well before Cable about the obvious nonsense of the lending. We had a credit card chancellor and a nation of people who just carried on as if there was no tomorrow. The bankers knew it was going to end in tears but their greed of getting multi million pound bonuses every year was too much to resist. The top people have made their famillies future safe for generations whilst the rest are left to pick up the pieces. The bankers and former government should hang their heads. Many decent people are going to be out of work and bankrupt due to negligence. Yes a lot of those people were not bright enough to see the folly of the debt, but those at the top did and have pulled off a massive sting IMO
