Recommended Posts

Hi this is my first time posting a thread so bear with me...

 

Tonight I attended a Q&A session with Matt Le Tiss at Solent University and i was able to ask him a few questions just thought i would share a few.

 

 

Q. Which manager did you play the best under?

A. Alan Ball, he felt he was playing his best and should have had a chance at England Level.

 

Q. Who would you rather punch Rupes or Glenn Hoddle?

A. (Laugh and big smile) Lowe cant forgive him for not taking resposibilty for our mismanagement and downward spiral down the leagues.

 

Q. Who will win the League this season?

A. Chelsea

 

Q. Is Paul Merton that stupid?

A. Yes, but really nice guys incidently he would bet on two flies climbing a wall hahaha

 

Those were mine was feeling a bit ****y and kind of gave him a dig about being from Guernsey because im from Jersey

 

This resulted in him calling me a "crappo" and me shouting calling him a "donkey" which is what us folks loving call each other

 

it was a very surreal experience and i met him after and he thanked me for the questions which livened up what he said is normally a quite boring thing to do.

 

NOTE : Anyone there how much was the person who introduced him up his ass it was embarrising but bloody hilarious!!!

 

Cheers Guys :grin::grin::grin:

Oh no, wait till Nineteen Canteen gets hold of this. You've gone and done it now ;)

 

Not really JB. Tonight you have a chance to ask MLT 4 questions. The first 2 you can get from reading his book the 3rd you may as well ask him if Saints will get promoted this season and the 4th? Is he going to slag off a colleague in public?

 

The sweat must have been pouring off his brow with the cross examination. Interesting comment that MLT said that these sessions are usually boring. A Q&A in Southampton with probably Saints fans in attendance? I actually don't believe a word of the OP or at best it is hugely embellished and a tad juvenile.

Students, a tad juvenile, well spotted.

A bit ironic coming from 19c though... ;)

 

Seriously, is this numpty STILL going on about LeTissier? I bumped into a couple of mates who are now retired from the CID, both Saints fans and asked the about the whole "scam" and the cps. They both laughed at the mention the cps being involved in such a pathetic, ill thought out scam.

"Mate, he ****ed up one of the dumbest betting scams I've ever heard of and then panicked and never did it again. Hardly makes him Ronnie Biggs doesn't it? Hardly worth the price of a stamp on the documentation mate..."

 

Having 19c stamp all over the place about the "disgrace" just reminds a bit of Richard Briers in Ever Decreasing Circles, a small man looking for something to justify his existence. This whole LeTissier witch hunt is just pathetic.

 

He was involved in footballs most stupid and briefest scam.

 

He tried to save saints by fronting a failed takeover bid.

 

Get over it you sad, sad, little man...

I went along to it as well, sat in the front row and asked some questions regarding Saints future. He thinks we'll be able to get out of League One next season, but thinks it will be hard to get promoted from the Championship as its such a competitive league. He seemed optimistic though and reckons we'll be in the Premeiership again in 4 years.

 

Also asked him about the whole betting scandal, agrees it was blown out of proportion, pointed the finger at the Daily Echo, as they could've serialised that part of his book, but choose not to, then jumped on the bandwagon a couple of weeks later when national tabloids like the Sun grabbed hold of the story.

 

All in all, a very interesting session with the great man, wish all guest lectures were that good!

I have read all the crap he has written and I totally agree with you. How anyone calling themselves a Saints fan can have such disdain for MLT I don't know!

Disdain or a lack of respect? What many can't appreciate is it's a simple case of integrity and for MLT to be blaming the Echo as reported above is avoiding the issue. If as a relatively well paid individual at the time he had the integrity not to get involved his reputation and hero status for me would have remained intact. We all have different moral codes by which we live our lives and I fail to see why people cannot understand that for me what MLT did was wrong. With honesty comes common sense and I would question if the latter was a quality lacking in MLT's involvement with Pinnacle?

 

Francis Bacon said that 'all moral philosophy is but a handmaid to religion'. This is very true as has been discussed elsewhere and if I can get disillusioned with my religion and become a confimed agnostic then I guess it's easier to remove myself from this particular altar even though other's choose to carry on their worship regardless of, for me, the loss of trust and negative questions that one action can raise.

 

I am obviously not alone in my feelings and it does not detract in anyway my status as a supporter of SFC. How can it? I have barely missed a home game since the move to SMS and supporting Saints is an important part of my life. Dubai Phil in his MLT in Dubai thread mentioned that MLT spoke about the loss of an important business contract of some description that had cost him financially. If a persons integrity throughout their life is not important why would MLT have lost that contract off the back of his revelation?

 

I can understand why people defend MLT but equally they need to acknowledge that people may have a different view of the situation and those people should be afforded some respect as they did not create the problem / issue in the first place.

 

Unless any new material comes to light this is the last time I am going to be dragged into this debate but its difficult not to get involved when people start throwing the insults and acting in a racist manner with regard to a persons health or general well being. It's important to address the cowardly comments in these instances.

I wouldn't say you are ever dragged into a debate. You should be old enough and big enough to let it go. Why let people goad you into a reaction? You give them what they want every time!

Well hoo-bloody-ray for that, I do hope that is a promise.

 

As for a persons health/general well being could I just remind you that you informed the members of this board that you have had mental problems. There was no need for you to do that, 99% of people come on here to talk about Southampton FC and all the various dramas and issues that have surrounded it. A person's state of health is their own business and no concern or probabaly no interest either to any other poster. Yet you, more than once disclose your medical problems. If people chose to insult you due to those medical conditions then yes, I agree with you, that is so very wrong...BUT you have never helped yourself with your manner and your own insults. You have had more than one dig at me in the past but I dont give a monkeys, its water off a ducks back what someone as confrontational and argumentative as you think of me. I would be more worried if you liked me actually ;) but you do chose to have a go at people yourself. Perhaps the old glass house phrase applies.

 

I do think objecting to insults is a little but rich coming from you though.......

Actually I think it may have been Weston who mentioned it? I can't remember though.

 

Derry posted it , but thanks for putting BS to rights on the main proncipal that I did not raise it initially.

 

For the record I realise race doesn't come into but being derogatory about a person's health is a prejudice not dissimilar to racism. Enke spent 6 years trying to avoid letting people know about his illness because he knew how people would react and that unfairly fuels shame, fear and a whole host of other serious emotions for the sufferer that can end in tragic consequences.

 

Banter and insults I can take. Slander and prejudice I can't and will respond but thanks Hypo for your effort but it definitely was not Weston Saint who posted the original statement.

Ah, so you find racism as unpleasant as comments about health.

Phil, don't suppose you have those in Dubai

 

So we don't have students? What on EARTH do you smoke all day long?

 

Perhaps you may like to explain why you feel it unlikely that Arab Nationals are not worthy or should not expect a University Education?

 

Was that not a racist comment? Your little Englander glasses got steamed up there? What about the children of expats born or raised here.

 

Oh no don't mention health but let's make a racist comment about 2million people should be denied access to education because they live down here.

 

Getting better and better

I have never met a Christian with a bad word to say about Christ.

 

True and his support diminishes expotentially with the passage of time?

 

Phil, excuse my ignorance but I was referring to the freedom that students have in this country and both genders compared to Dubai. It was not a racist remark but a comment on the laws of the different countries and which one given a choice I would prefer.

Kindly explain the difference between the freedoms or the laws?

I think Phil you can work it out for yourself rather than me post my layman's view of the world and you pick me up on the minutae of what is meant to be just a broad observation about what students like to do in thsi country and may not be so well received in your current residence.

 

Weston Saint gave a good analogy and I am neither moth nor light and as this has gone way off the original subject and no one has made a worthy argument against what I hoped was a well reasoned comment I am officially the switch. No light, no moths, opinion unchallenged bar a few insults and unreasoned statements.

 

Agnostically yours

You mean libel. Slander is via verbal communication.

 

If you are not sure which is which, use the generic term, defamation.

 

HTH

Car crash time again....just a quick rubber neck for me.

 

Racist,cowardly? LOL!!!

 

I think your a nerdy self obsessed knobhead....simple as that...

 

The sort of vile little git who would fart at school and blame it on someone else...

 

One of the new breed of **** who wants to be an internet celebrity by daring to be different.

 

I wish you nothing but bad luck and ill will..

But hey thats nothing personal and of course mods its free speech and all that.

19C . You seem a bit tetchy about a party that most feel less than christian towards. Of late your post's have been of interest, about Saint's as a team in the situation they now find themselve's. You should keep it that way and not take the rise so easy.
