skintsaint Posted 28 October, 2011 Share Posted 28 October, 2011 Former Burnley boss Brian Laws and ex-Aberdeen manager Mark McGee have both told local media that they are interested in the job. Both awful managers so would be happy with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Munster Posted 28 October, 2011 Share Posted 28 October, 2011 If we lose at Fratton I'm going to flush a toilet in anger on the way out. I might even leave a tap running. That'll teach 'em. Don't worry, that's not going to happen. But after we've dicked them feel free to flush their toilets as many times as you can anyway, and leave the taps running. Assuming of course you can find a toilet that flushes or a tap that runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eling-saint Posted 28 October, 2011 Share Posted 28 October, 2011 People, if you can be bothered go onto POL and look at the toilet debate raging. There are some fantastic quotes from the blue few. Just one to tempt you... Ignore the spelling but this is a raging debate on saving money on the water rates!!! Have to disagree with you there. They are not cost affective as they do not flush enough, therefore causing the waste pipes to block up due to the back up of calcium in the urine not being flushed away. There fore you have to have all the wastes unblocked or at worse renewed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There fore you have to have all the wastes unblocked or at worse renewed I did venture across for a quick read a while ago, mainly because I thought the original post was a wind up. I honest cannot believe that it took a meeting of 6 people to decide that they needed new sanitory conditions. If I go to any major venue event that host 10 - 15 k punters, the very least I would expect is to find working toilets ffs. Mind you, as you say, the thread is really quite comical now - but I'm really beginning to feel quite sorry for them if fitting new loos, moving the bloody clock and throwing in a large screen tv is seen as major improvements to their infrastructure - and improvements that have to be considered in stages due to the budget. They whole thing, while funny to the outsider, is totally bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 28 October, 2011 Share Posted 28 October, 2011 Last time I used the toilet facilities at Fratton Park they had no roof. I don't mind watching football in the rain but trying to curl one out whilst being exposed to the elements is just plain wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 October, 2011 Share Posted 28 October, 2011 Eddie Howe would be mental to go there. Does he love them that much? He struck me as a long term manager who'd want to do well somewhere, not jump ship right away. I know Burnley have had their problems, but Pompey as an alternative would be insane. Burnley is a nicer place, a nicer club, a better team and infinitely less dodgy. I dunno, there's not much in it TBH. Anyway, they might be able to con him into thinking he is moving just down the road, as there is a little place called Portsmouth on the Lancs/Yorks border not far from Burnley... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_%28Lancs%29_railway_station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 29 October, 2011 Share Posted 29 October, 2011 Oh. Did someone mention Budget? And what was that other word? Oh yes, Constraints. I can reveal that the word should actually be BUDGIE. After the impressive display at Selhurst on Tuesday whereby a part of the pre match entertainment was a Real Live Eagle flying down the length of the pitch, Skatesmuff thought they will like to follow suit, but unfortunately after organising a 12 man committee to discuss the project, after deductions for a pint of milk, 12 teabags, a packet of digestives and having to put 20p in the electric meter to heat the kettle up twice, there was only enough money left for a Budgie or 2 goldfish in a bowl. It was decided that the Goldfish would be bordering on Porn and although could have had a beneficial improvemnet on crowd figures they didn't want to upset the 2000 school kids who get free tickets each week to nudge the figures past 10000. Obviously the Budgie isn't trained to do anything, so just sits in a cage eating millet seed, whilst keeping a watchful eye on the vultures circling overhead Notarf Krap!!

View From The Top Posted 30 October, 2011 Share Posted 30 October, 2011 I suppose - small club, no budget.
