The Kraken Posted 20 November, 2012 Share Posted 20 November, 2012 Did they boo the summmmaaaaa? Well, they booed their own player Izale McLeod as he was about to take a penalty for them. But that can't be right, can it? I mean, Pompey fans always tell us that they never boo their own. Ever. The bestest would never do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 20 November, 2012 Share Posted 20 November, 2012 that wasn't booing, it was the sound of a bulldozer firing up - or perhaps the sound of the wind whistling through 11,000 empty seats.... Maybe we'll hear no more of that nonesense about the Fortress, the big club, or the great fans - as tonight's effort has buried all the myths about support and passion. This is their hour of need, yet the park remains VERY unpacked. As for the ref, he must have been totally overawed - though he was probably more annoyed at having to go into the stands and get the ball himself for each throw-in. I think they've had better nights. Seems cruel to mock. But I'll get some rest and try again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 Oh dear, now in the bottom 4 with two nice away trips coming up at Coventry and Tranmere. Ah, but don't forget they've already sold 450 tickets already for the Coventry away game with another 200 on offer. With such massive support they're bound to scrape a result up there...

Yeah I'm much more inclined to go with the attendance figure of a fan in the crowd rather than with the official figure provided by the club, I mean what do the club know? They've probably got faulty turnstiles or something, 3,000 fans could easily slip through undetected, that sounds plausible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lad has scored over a 3rd of P****y's league goals this season with a conversion rate of 9 in 19, is their leading scorer and has scored 3 times as many as the next player. By all accounts pretty good going and is on track to scoring over 20 in the whole season. If they think he's useless god help the rest of the team.

saint si Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 From the PST FAQ... How will we still put out a competitive team? Surprise... The rules of the Football League are changing in our favour too, to further support Clubs that don’t overstretch financially With salary caps in League 1 and 2 loans can no longer buy you players and pay wages your income doesn’t support Now that is either a helluva lot of front, or a total and utter lack of self-awareness!

100%Red&White Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 Attendance 9955. Packing the park again. Someone did predict their league attendances would below 10k by Christmas, came a little sooner than expected then. I did chuckle looking at a Swansea forum just before we played them that a skate was posting telling them they were going to be in with them at SMS as they’d “sold out their allocation for Bury”. Imagine my surprise Monday evening when they showed Bury’s (sn1gger) goals on South Today and there were loads of empty seats in the away end. I guess all those empty seats were the same “loyal-passionate-never-boo-follow-them-everywhere” empty seats we regularly see “Packing-the-Park” at fartton every home game?

Ian Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD To: enquiries@football-league.co.uk Dear Sir/Madam, I note, from the BBC report of last night's game between Portsmouth and Leyton Orient: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20308100 that the home club fielded Dickinson. I understand that Dickinson was on a one ( 1 ) game ban for reaching 5 bookings. If that is the case then surely the home team have fielded an ineligible player and, as such, should be sanctioned for contravening Football League Rules? Could you please confirm if this is actually the case? Kind Regards Ooooooooooooops! my finger slipped and pressed send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedg Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 (edited) No reference to Dumbuya either!! Yes. Noticed that. I see the guardian summary (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/match/2012/nov/20/portsmouth-v-leytonorient) has Dickinson playing as well but I suspect they may be using the same source of information as the BBC so not sure if that counts for much. well... according to the live text commentary on sky sports Dickinson took a throw in on 41 minutes. But I suspect when they do these commentaries their must be some sort of short cut for entering players names so if the initial team sheet it uses is wrong then this would carry over to the wrong names used on the commentary.

The Kraken Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 Akos Buzsaky has decided he wants out. Following rumours that he refused to go on the bench last Saturday, he now apparently wants out. http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-ready-to-let-buzsaky-depart-1-4505317 Still, if his rumoured enormous wages are anything to go by, this can only be a good thing for the fiscally-minded PDT.

It's thoroughly unkind to tar Oldham with the same brush as the skates. Oldham are currently 18th, 3 places above the relegation zone. Pompey are in the bottom four and therefore in the drop zone, and that's before you take off the minus ten points that's coming their way. If we're being truly honest, their relegation rivals are Hartlepool who are marronned on the bottom on 8 points; the same amount of points that Pompey will have after the points penalty is enacted, and 11 points from safety.

Jimmy_D Posted 21 November, 2012 Share Posted 21 November, 2012 Is he theirs to sell? I thought pretty much all their players were on month to month rolling contracts and could just bugger off whenever they wanted. Pompey would still hold the player's registration until the transfer window reopens. Would imagine that Pompey would rather open up a space in the 20 player limit by mutually terminating the contract, leaving him as a free agent, than hold on to a player (or just his registration) when he doesn't want to be there. That'd just leave Pompey with one less space, the player with resentment, and make Pompey even less(!) attractive to potential players, if they're willing to screw over one of their own like that. Any fee, if there's any, will be nominal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
