Pamplemousse Posted 21 September, 2013 Share Posted 21 September, 2013 Some quotes from POL tonight. Get your at the ready With almost 16000 there fleetwood must have thought it was wembley and upped their game whilst we stood about and scratched our asses by the sound of things What really pishes me off is that they went bust more often than we did, have a population that is little more than our average attendance and yet they have the money to be as successful on the pitch as they are! How the f*ck can their chairman finance that!?? Not been in the Brewers for around 11 years and at long last go there for a pint of my favourite tipple only to find it was sold out FFS!!! Then to add insult to injury, your bloody home town lot lose to the filth down the road! Was good to meet Jay at last though, then I bumped into his sister in Frogmore Road as well! Have to admit, I left when the 4th official put up the time left to be added on Is there anything more depressing than losing at home when scum win away? Another shiit Saturday night. We wouldn't have lost that game if the fookin officials had done their job , foul on Agyemang , then their striker who scored is 2 yards offside . I fookin hate officials I have a cunning plan for next home game, can all season ticket holders please stay away, our players are intimidated by large crowds & only perform in front of 5,000 people The only good thing today for me was I never went phew!

The9 Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Can't see the exact moment the ball was played on the video clip on FL Show, but "2 yards offside" does not sound like an accurate reflection of the ball through to Fleetwood's striker, before the comical set of ricochets which led to the hilarious OG that was the winner.

NickG Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Think this is a significant time for any rivalry. On a weekend when we won away at one of the world's most famous clubs, a victory that caused radio 5's commentator to say we could be surprise contender for champions league this season - skates lost to a team I honestly didn't even know were in the football league. Look here rarely now. Was explaining to my sons how I didn't see them as rivals until recently as they were insignificant. If they don't make play offs this season they are doomed. Support will continue to die. Community feel good factor gone. They will have no chance of rich takeover as fans won't want to sell. A nothing lower league club but fans will proudly talk about winning league before any of us were born. .ahh.bless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 They will have no chance of rich takeover as fans won't want to sell. I think your only inaccuracy, as they don't actually own, just have a pretty certificate that can't be sold on the market. Plus there isn't really anything to sell, is there? Assets, thriving concern, big customer base, goodwill???? Mwaahh ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyboy Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 is that the Salisbury City who were hammered by the football authorities for a debt that must have been about 1/1000th of the pompey debts? Let's not forget that pompey were done a huge favour by the FL when they wrote off their most recent points penalty into the last relegation. By all the regulations they should be bottom of the league on minus 1 at the moment. Whereas they are in fact riding high, on the brink of play-off glory. Yes, the future in bright. Really. Any other clubs considering fan ownership must be going back to the drawing board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 Ho-hum, yawn. Here we go again. "We know from bitter experience that we cannot rely on the competence or consistency of the game’s authorities when we get into difficulties. While I hope we never end up in such a conflict over governance or ownership of the club again, I am not prepared to rely on hope and optimism. I am a firm believer in putting our rights into writing, indeed I would go a lot further than the Trust’s rules and would like to see statutory action to clean up and regulate the game. We just can’t trust the FA, the Premier League, the Football League, or the PFA." It was the fault of the FA, the Football League, Fifa, the International Olympic Committee, the RSPCA, the Salvation Army and just about every organisation you can name who sat back and did nothing to prevent Pompey spending way beyond their means and buying trophies.

Weston Saint Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 (edited) Shame really as Terry Clarke was taken for £70,000 by the "old" club. Business went bust as well!! Terry Clarke builder and club creditor "Two weeks before the season I did some extension work to the dressing room at Fratton Park. I haven't been paid. They've taken advantage of me because I love Portsmouth. I've followed the club for 50 years — my dad took me when I was four years old. I've done my bit for the club over the years, sponsoring its youth development programme, introducing new clients to them, because I only want the best for Portsmouth. They played on my loyalties because I would never put any pressure on" Edited 22 September, 2013 by Weston Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 22 September, 2013 Share Posted 22 September, 2013 I can only imagine the furniture expert was overawed by the quality of the items, or the passion of the people stood about watching. Presumably the Premier League sent out emails to all the antiques experts telling them to undervalue them. I find it very difficult to believe that those chairs that were off the Victory/Warrior/Gosport Ferry have been either bigged up as something they aren't, or that they have been overvalued in the past by people close to the club. Did any of their experts manage to carbon date Kanu within a decade or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and factless had it down for hald a million just five weeks ago: If the source of the wood can be authenticated, the value could be set around £500,000. He has kept them in storage for seven years too, unless he owns the storage space outright in every aspect, I suspect these chairs are actually a liability which he has to financially support. The table is currently being looked after by a friend of the builder – a Pompey fan who has taken over the costly footing of the storage bill. friend, LOL , Poor Tel.
