Brizzie Saints

Excellent Smithers

If he's on a free wot we gotta lose, its a no brainer

I think the key strategy will be the same as last year, take each game as it comes, play as if its a cup game and just worry about ourselves. Although it would be great to win it , auto is our only priority

Just done it again WHU 93 SAINTS 90 Reading 85 unfortuantely skates miss relegation by 2 points so might have to do it again

Probably the most passionate NA on this planet, always gives me the shivers. When the bagpipes drop out you can almost imagine william wallace leading a thousand hairy ars*d jocks over the hill to battle. I'd also have to add the S.Afrikaan and french to that list also, makes the english one sound ****, Ozzy ones ok tho.

From the Snoooooze site: Published on Saturday 25 February 2012 09:16 STEWARDS, security staff and bar staff have been told they will be paid money they are owed for January and February, but not wages from Christmas. The News understands some of these staff members were planning on staying at home today instead of working, putting Pompey’s match against Leeds in doubt. But after being told they will definitely get their money for the first two months of this year they have backed down. Trevor Birch, PKF joint administrator of Pompey, confirmed that was the case. He said: ‘Every member of match-day staff was told they would be paid the money they are owed from the middle of January to the middle of February by the end of the month.’ A spokesman for PKF added: ‘But the money for December and January has not been paid. ‘We are doing everything we can to try and stabilise the situation.’ One member of staff, who wished to remain anonymous, told The News: ‘We will be working at the match because there’s nothing else we can do. ‘We’re still owed money from two years ago, and we want to get it back, however long it takes. ‘We’ve really just had enough, and we’re fed up of being owed money and not knowing when we’ll see it again, if ever.’

I still cant believe that portsmouth are getting away with this. I mean, I know its bad for thier fans if they go under, but everytime they do it- its like an open invitation for other clubs to cock around not paying thier bills. Which is not only unfair on the businesses being essentially conned out of money, but also for the fans of other clubs who are impacted by pompey taking the cut price approach to thier debts. I dont want to see any club go to the wall, but until one does- this sort of **** will keep happening. Theres no real punishment. Its completely unfair and dispicable.

Sounds just like the old days

I think i'm gonna be sick, how f*ckin embarrasing for everyone connected with that ****hole, next stop beggin in the streets. No morals, No Dignity.

Got a reply from the FL Thank you for your email. As you may have noted, Portsmouth Football Club has been deducted ten points in accordance with Football League rules and regulations. For the latest official statement from The Football League please visit our website here http://www.football-league.co.uk/footballleaguenews/20120217/pompey-given-10-point-deduction_2293334_2614922. The club is now in administration following an application by the directors to the High Court. The High Court has determined the appointment of Trevor Birch at PKF as administrator, having being nominated by other creditors including HMRC. The League will now work with the administrators as they seek to find a purchaser for the club. Based on your email content we would also recommend you access information relating to the Owners’ and Directors’ Test. The Owners’ and Directors’ Test is an objective assessment to determine necessary information in relation to the management or control of a Football League club by an individual. It is not a subjective test and therefore The League must work with the facts in hand and those presented in the test. You may find an FAQ regarding the Owners and Directors Test useful http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/FAQ/FAQsDetail/0,,10794~2428071,00.html. The Football League can clarify that at all times following its takeover of Portsmouth Football Club, Convers Sports Initiatives - and in particular Mr Vladimir Antonov - complied with the requirements of the Owners’ and Directors’ Test as set out in the regulations of The Football League. Any football club that is in administration will be subject to a transfer registrations embargo. The principle being that where clubs are not able to afford their current playing squad they are not permitted to sign anyone else. In view of any embargo The Football League cannot allow a club to sign any new players, unless they are unable to field a team, i.e. name fourteen fit players for any match (11 starters plus 3 ‘usable outfield substitutes’ – which is usual Football League policy). However, we only take account of players with any first team experience and young professionals who haven’t played at first team level are therefore discounted. At present The League cannot currently comment any further in relation to Portsmouth and any further statement will appear on our website in due course. Thank you for contacting The Football League.

Yep gotta agree with that, always had a riot on foleys coaches, never a dull moment. Nicks a great guy unfortuantely being a spokesperson is always a thankless job, but you always need someone to do it, but as usual very few want the hassle.

Is this thread for real?

Nope me neither, but people should respect and look out for their own as well

I find that logging out and back in usually fixes any issues.

Well i'm lookiing forward to wot promises to be an interesting week. Will we see a comment from Mr Burns, "Its worse than I thought Smithers, I've just uncovered another £10m debt, they're f*cked". Oh I hope so

Yeah i'm not expecting any joy but i'm happy that i've at least taken the time to give em my views. It wont change anything but i feel better now. COYFL

Middlesborough away in about 82 i think, won 1-0 and went top for the fisrst time in our history. On the **** all friday night in town, coach picked us up outside margaritas, travelled overnight, still p*ssing it up, arrived in Middlesborough early sat morning, dont remember wot we did all day too drunk, the win was fantastic for the 500 or so that went and the trek home is just a drunken blur......Magic. Oh and farton away with steve moran becoming an immortal

Done Dear Football League. I find myself writing to you out of frustration and sheer disgust at the goings on at Portsmouth Football Club. The club have continually brought the game into disrepute through poor management, overspending and having a complete disregard for the integrity of the Football League, having now had two administrations in the last three years. I find it disgusting that a high profile football club can continually rack up huge debts to small businesses, charities and the HMRC, have that debt reduced to a pittance yet still, over 2 years later, have barely scratched the surface with repaying these debts. Other clubs in recent history, Leeds, Luton, Bournemouth etc, suffered a much worse fate with regard to points deductions when they found themselves in similar circumstances yet for some reason, it seems to me, PFC are being dealt with leniently for some reason. Surely a 20 point deduction would be a fairer punishment for the way they have behaved. All i read in the press is the management at PFC constantly complaining about a level playing field and the FL are to blame for their failure in administering the Fit & Proper test, yet they created their own demise by cheating the entire Championship by buying and paying players they and no other stable championship club could afford. To top it off, they now complain they don't have enough players to be able to field the minimum amount of players to be competitive in this league and want to bring in yet more players they cant afford. I hope on this occasion the FL refuse to allow this, they have other players at the club. Most other teams in their situation would be playing youth team players in order to reduce costs and try to make themselves cost effective yet this seems to be an alien principle to the management at PFC. We all want the Championship to be stable, competitive and fair for all teams, so how about making it fairer for the rest of the league and rather than allowing them another advantage , treat PFC the same way all the other clubs have been treated. In conclusion, i feel the 10 point penalty was an insufficient punishment for a team that has lowered the standard of the competition and they should be forced to utilise the playing staff they currently have rather than bringing in yet more players to contribute to their ever increasing debt mountain. I await your reply

I was always led to believe that if a company became insolvent that all its assets were liquidated to pay off any debt and the company was closed down. Now to do this once and get away with only paying a fraction of that debt is bad enough, to do it twice is unbelievable. I realise chinny saved them, but surely then it would be up to him to clear that debt before continuing. Yet after all this they still expect the whole football community to bend over backwards and still help them out! Its a bit like a crack whore feeding a habit, no shame, no dignity , no remorese. Now i had enough of there constant bellyaching about fair playing field, poor us, it wasnt our fault, everyone else is too blame bullsh*t and as much as it goes against the grain, i Will be complaining to the FL about their current demand too bring more players in. Every other club that has found themselves in the sh*t has had to deal with it, why should they be any different? The fact that they only got 10 points was a kick in the teeth to every other decent club, if they get any more assistance it clearly shows favouritism to this shower of sh*t.

yeah your probably right, i didnt really like it either but was struggling to find a word that ended in ation. F*ck it leave it as it is
