I wish i could be so confident. On that night there were a big crew of skates who would rarely gone to games. They were mindless and not a fair representation of the clubs fans. I still think they were out of order but I was not surprised. I never saw or heard what the Sky people said on the night. I did see the sky interviewer last night interviewing Ramsay and Song and he was begging them to praise Pompeys fight and kept trying to get them to say how they had fought.

I think that sums it up for me. I grew up not knowing of the hatred that was brewing. Yes I had been to the Dell for Sydenhams testimonial. I was allowed to go with my brother (Iwas 8 he was 12 ) oblivious to any hatred.A few fights and a firecracker but it seemed just like any other saturday in the late 60's. Time went on and saints were relegated and so we played them again. No real segregation at the Dell and there was the odd scrap. We then weent to FP boxing day (?) and I was with my dad in the stands in with the Pompey. Saints won 2-1 and saints fans were all around the ground mixing with the locals.'oh when the saints ' struck up and I, still naive to the rivalry, was singing it without any concern when this massive great neanathal put his face to mine and with a face twisted with hatred screamed 'Spastic' (now he may have just been summing me up perfectly). I was stunned and now awakened to the realisation that they had a problem with us. That was the last time our fans were not segregated and sadly it got worse and worse. The beauty of 84 was all the better for it, but it is sad that fellow Hampshire people cannot put it aside. I do think that if we are below then for 44 years , perhaps the hatred they show could well be the same our side as I see many on here who already feel the same way after 5 years! Pes and co , good luck i hope you still have a team to support, but I really hope the club get its full justified punishment for all the dodgy deals it seems to have been part of.

where's DubaiPhil?

On south today, it mentioned that they had confirmation of this being served after speaking to the courts service.

I suggest that the revenue are sick to death of begging for payment month on month and so have taken this measure. I doubt they do it after the first /secord/or third occasion.

dont forget you get cautioned if you are only helping with enquiries , aka HR

Meoooooow get it a bowl of milk. Not interested in what you say just nice to read your snarling and gnashing of teeth. All the arrogance has been wiped away. I hope you can hear my roar of laughter at your outpouring. You have no class unlike Pes and the others who stayed here. Of course you are in this situation because Gaydamek didnt pay back loans, yes, yes that must be the case. nothing to do you havinh Storrie and Hr spending like it was out of fashion to buy the success that the little club couldn't afford. it was obvious to a kid that you can't spend the way you were unless you had unlimited money.Don't forget that MM left the club and debts behind as well. As for you saying my 'glee' at your situation, I think I have not been gleeful. Only warmed that justice may be served.For the last 5 or so years it has seemed that Pompey would get away with anything. You had 1 administration and got no penalty, I have no pride that we also were responsible for small buisinesses losing money due to the football clunbs mismanagement. We took a massive penalty you walked away and came back stronger, without the football penalties to get where you were. now it seems some medicine is to be had, although i stil think that you could stay up if you keep the majority of your team

there will be a wave of sympathy from the Sky commentators tonight. I doubt the will mention the reckless spending and wages.Just a few pictures of craggy faced old birds and kids crying to get the sympathy up.

'they'll be down to the bare bones, f'sure

Uphill gardening is very popular in Pompey. (293)

Avram has told Pompey he can take any of his salary in luncheon vouchers,(292)

Dont you feel a little dirty? (291)

The PL now have the first PL club to have to face a winding up order. The brand has been damaged by this, add to that the other shenanigans and the PL may now act a bit more.

yep they can f### off to space

Is he Merovian on here? I think e has something to do with one of the Pompey forums (290)

I notice ours has doubled te rest seems to have gone up gradually in comparison.We are not officially out of recession the others are. Figures can be read many ways. I still feel this coming year is going to be very bumpy.I hope Mr Brown gets in to reap what he has sowed.

Yes, but the blueprint that I see is that it is horses for courses.Use players who know their way around L1 then bring in players who know CCC and so on. It is no use bringing in players who are not cut out for the battle of this league. I agree I dont see any of the team being PL standard and the same was whne we had AS etc. They were only ever CCC at best. Perhaps KD in his top form would make a PL team.

thanks Weston. That makes the ratio a little better.

that is sad, but not as sad as someone actually having a look to see how many everybody is posting lol. 288 now, although that does surprise me

are you trying to offend me. Lol Happy new year to all. I agree about leaving AP to it

It was not AS fault he was overrated by fans. He seems a decent lad but his lack of pace will always make him a lower league player. I had hoped he would develop into a top player but that didn't happen

Ivan Golac he is not and i would rather Murty but i get tired of fans looking for scapegoats all the time. His crossing is not as bad as you make out IMO. I can promise you for personal reasons I could be very anti him, something that I cant go into on here.

That is fair and yes the fans are not at fault (except the JCL's) I think that the gloating has not helped but im sure the gloating from this end has not helped build bridges for the future either. It is funny how one of your friends on here (loosely) has disappeared and as has always been suggested he is only around when he can feel superior. (gardening leave Lol) It is people like him who gloated that i feel no sympathy for.

you are getting a tad desperate to justify your position Derry. You believe he cant cross the ball others disagree get over it. Your figures clutched from the air do you no favours. He is not responsible for 20+ crosses a game and even if he was the 7 assists were for goals scored not for finding the man or taking into account saves etc. As DD rightly points out, to be fair you should now point your finger at AL , Morgan and dan Harding as their contribution is far less.

well if you only count them from the bye line then perhaps you are correct. I have seen many superb crosses from many different players this season.
