ericofarabia Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 The great unwashed make the headlines in Dubai. Don't know if the person in question is a) A TSW Nutjob b) a skate or c) a n other fan who has had the misfortune of visiting Fortress Fatpipes to see his team have their "FA Cup Final" there. Basically he has been banned from one of the less desirable Bars in Dubai - Rock Bottom - (Dubai Phil frequents it so I rest my case ;-) .), after being chucked out for being drunk and disorderly and then had a bit of a drunken rant on FaceBook!! ......... Management at Rock Bottom confirmed that the 25-year-old Englishman has been barred from both branches of the popular watering hole after he wrote “derogatory” comments in a foul-mouthed rant on his social network page. Scott Charlton, the manager of Rock Bottom’s Tecom branch, claimed the man was “very drunk” in the venue last Tuesday and had to be escorted out by security, which sparked the offensive online remarks. In his post, the Rock Bottom customer slammed senior management and labelled bouncers as “warped”. Despite pledging never to set foot in the bar again, he returned last Thursday and Charlton approached him to ask why he had posted the comments on Facebook. “His comments did not make valid points and they were just direct attacks. If he had valid complaints he should have came to us,” Charlton said. The man, who 7DAYS has chosen not to name, said that when he asked the manager how he knew about the comments, the Rock Bottom boss replied: “Because we have 46 mutual friends on Facebook.” The man claimed Rock Bottom was the “worst” place he’d ever experienced. “And I’ve been to a Portsmouth home game,” he added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Southampton City Council have ballsed up by declaring their interest in this, they could have kept it quiet and waited for the NIMBYs in Portsmouth to reject the idea. Instead, one of the PCC councillors at the meeting last night specifically said "if we don't approve this, they'll go down the road to Southampton", which will probably make them vote in favour now, when they might have been minded to reject it.

Depressed of Shirley Posted 18 June, 2014 Share Posted 18 June, 2014 50% of a nominal fee. So around £125k maybe A fee of £250k in League 2 is huge. I would suggest a nominal fee is a second class rail fare from Fratton to Three Bridges. Had to post on page 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 18 June, 2014 Share Posted 18 June, 2014 I'd have thought that 'nominal' for League Two is more likely to be around the £50K mark. Their cut should be enough to pay Connolly through the summer. The financial gulf between the lower leagues and the Championship widens with every day that passes. They must be pleased that they put their confidence in youth and concentrated on the academy to provide the players who will get them back to their seat at the top table. It's shrewd business decisions like that from their talented board that will give them the edge over lesser clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 18 June, 2014 Share Posted 18 June, 2014 A lovely comment from a poster on pol: My ex-wife came back to the city yesterday for a meeting about our youngest (having moved away 7 years ago) and she'd forgotten how unique Pompey is as a city! Nothing embarrassing about a 7 months pregnant, made-up to the 9s, dyed blonde in tight leggings and a bikini top chain smoking down the street, is there? I didn't even notice cos it's Pompey but she was rather shocked! Chubby schoolgirl in immaculate school uniform brazenly walking home from Milton Cross with a skirt shorter than most belts!

rallyboy Posted 18 June, 2014 Share Posted 18 June, 2014 Craig Westcarr has revealed Pompey’s ambition persuaded him to snub four League One clubs in favour of dropping down a division. That and perhaps the two year contract on improved wages? There's a lad with ambition! The chance to play in the third tier? - no, lower please, lower. Would you like to play in the Premier League? No, the Championship will do for me ta. Fancy a game in the World Cup? Nah, a pointless international friendly would be more my scene. Want to be a pro footballer? Not really, I'd prefer to work in a shop. It can only be the lure of playing as part of the best atmosphere in world football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
