sussexsaint Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 My first thought was Beatties game against Australia but I'm pretty sure David James wasn't a skate then
The9 Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 (edited) My first thought was Beatties game against Australia but I'm pretty sure David James wasn't a skate then James signed for them August 2006, Beattie was so long gone by then that Peter Crouch who replaced him had left too. Crouch played in a friendly for England (against Colombia in May 2005) before he signed for Liverpool, alongside James and Glen Johnson - but neither were Skates at that point.

Golden Balls Posted 16 October, 2015 Posted 16 October, 2015 They seem to get into bother about this sort of thing rather a lot. Strange for such fantastic brilliant amazing fans.

Dark Munster Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 I wish But there are threads that have been created specifically for that purpose with upwards of 700,000 posts. We are potentially the longest soccer thread of all time but I imagine that if that were the case the ManU fans would start a thread on their forum just to beat us so shhhhh Yes, but those 700,000+ post threads are a joke, full of drivel and meaningless crap just to pad it out. Ours on the other hand is surely the bestest long thread in the world.

OldNick Posted 17 October, 2015 Posted 17 October, 2015 I went past a wedding in Portsmouth and didn't realise til then that the wedding march could be played on banjos

No, of course not. Because that would be open to corruption.
The9 Posted 19 October, 2015 Posted 19 October, 2015 I didn't know he was a Skate, obviously all the Newport refs were, you know, reffing in Newport at the time. Not sure the 4th official can do much other than telling people to get back in their box, he probably spent 20 minutes learning how to use the subs board. I'm still waiting to find out what Newport's goal in the first half was disallowed for, haven't seen it on any highlights programme. On the bright side, Jazzi Barnum-Bobb is the greatest footballer's name ever.

Lets B Avenue Posted 20 October, 2015 Posted 20 October, 2015 Injury time equaliser.... Ouch, I bet that hurt. Especially as it was scored by a "Scummah". Brett Williams. Ex-Eastleigh player.
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 October, 2015 Posted 20 October, 2015 Injury time equaliser.... Ouch, I bet that hurt. I know the feeling
benjii Posted 20 October, 2015 Posted 20 October, 2015 Saints fan off the bench on 92 minutes to score a 94th minute equaliser! That's nice.

Mr Biscuits Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 You know,with the squad they promotion shouldn't be any issue at all. However I'm beginning to wonder if it is going to be the cakewalk everyone is saying it's going to be. With the skates so quick to get on the teams back it is bound to have an effect on performance, and I just wonder if they have enough in the squad to keep going all season
rallyboy Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 With Cook at the helm I expect them to go up - but they do display the ability to have an off day so a trip to the play-offs could be troublesome...
eurosaint Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 "Top of the league" ! I could have sworn that was Plymouth and 29 points is more than 27 according to my calculations but of course I'm not an expert in either Portsmaths nor Portsmyths so what do I know ! Delusion rules, eh !
rallyboy Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 That's equal top, once you take into account pluckiness and trophies won when Bruce Forsyth was in nappies - the first time round.
The9 Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 "Top of the league" ! I could have sworn that was Plymouth and 29 points is more than 27 according to my calculations but of course I'm not an expert in either Portsmaths nor Portsmyths so what do I know ! Delusion rules, eh ! Well, they were at least joint top until that last minute equaliser. Anyone know who won after extra-time in Stevenage's cup final? I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed the last 10 minutes of L2 last night. Newport winning away, Yeovil conceding late to cost them a point and drop them in with Newport, and Skates conceding later to knock them off the top.
The9 Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 That's equal top, once you take into account pluckiness and trophies won when Bruce Forsyth was in nappies - the first time round. I refer you to the "all time top Division points" and "all time Prem league points" stats on the Main Board, Portsmouth aren't in the top 20 of either of them.
hutch Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 I refer you to the "all time top Division points" and "all time Prem league points" stats on the Main Board, Portsmouth aren't in the top 20 of either of them. You can't use points as a way of measuring the greatness of true fan-owned clubs. Any old club can get points.
The9 Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 Teddy Sheringham being Stevenage manager, Stevenage playing in red and white, and of course the identity and allegiances of the bloke who scored the equaliser all amused me last night too.
Golden Balls Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 My god if they implode again and don't go up...can you imagine?
trousers Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 Talking of leagues that they are almost top of...
Waterside.saint Posted 21 October, 2015 Posted 21 October, 2015 Talking of leagues that they are almost top of... Those are the bestest 47 dropped places.
The9 Posted 22 October, 2015 Posted 22 October, 2015 The most important thing about that table for them is that it only includes sides which 1) still exist and 2) are still in the Football League*. There are plenty of post 1985 teams who were in the League and now don't exist, they should be glad they got away with that much. *hang on, why are Tranmere there?
Mr Biscuits Posted 22 October, 2015 Posted 22 October, 2015 Tbh I wouldn't mind a late season wobble which culminates in a final game of the season where they have to get a win to qualify for the playoffs. And they are up against a team who need the three points to avoid relegation. And they lose, missing the playoffs by a point. The crying about how unfair it all is and how sh!t the squad are would be epic
stevegrant Posted 22 October, 2015 Posted 22 October, 2015 The most important thing about that table for them is that it only includes sides which 1) still exist and 2) are still in the Football League*. There are plenty of post 1985 teams who were in the League and now don't exist, they should be glad they got away with that much. *hang on, why are Tranmere there? Aldershot and Maidstone haven't dropped far enough overall to be on that list, tbf. Aldershot were 16th in Division Four 30 years ago, they're now 12th in the league below, a drop of only 20 places. Maidstone were 17th in the Conference, they're now 4th in the National League South, a drop of 9 places. Obviously they've reformed, think only Wimbledon possibly should be on that list (5th in the old Division Two 30 years ago, finished 3rd to go up, now 14th in League Two, a drop of 57 places), but that would involve the Football League reminding everyone of the cluster**** they were involved in back in 2003.
