Badger Posted 19 November, 2015 Posted 19 November, 2015 Heres an eloquent skate for you: After an article about two islamic brothers from skatesmouth being jailed http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/brothers-from-portsmouth-are-jailed-for-plotting-terrorist-acts-1-7073197#axzz3rxy0JS3A 6 years only!!! Didn't some bird who pretended to be a bloke to bump uglies with another bird get 8 years? How is that comparable?? Potential murderers compared to a mental rug muncher who conned someone who is really, really stupid He does have a valid point, but perhaps its lost in the translation.
The9 Posted 19 November, 2015 Posted 19 November, 2015 But as long as none of their opponents make unfair use of the wind... I assume we've all seen this by now? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34873067
Dark Munster Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 She's got man hands And a whale of a dive. Anyway, back to the DFCSBs: if they keep dropping points there is a real danger of them falling out of joint first place. I'm wondering if this is the shit or bust season for them if they don't get promoted? A bit worrying , those parachute payments aren't going to last forever.

Haven't the parachute payments already gone?
suewhistle Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 'Twas a joke, do keep up! You need to do your homework on _this_ thread!:-)
PhilippineSaint Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 They probably believe that they should get parachute payements from the 5th airborne division because they supported the boys in the Second World War.
Danbert Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 The PST have the begging bowl out again: http://www.pompeytrust.com/news/pst-fundraising-made-easy? So far they've raised the amazing total of 320 quid. Money which could otherwise have gone to real charities that do, you know, like, actual charity work. Oh well.
Mr Biscuits Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 But surely the finances are absolutely fine now?
TopGun Posted 20 November, 2015 Posted 20 November, 2015 (edited) But surely the finances are absolutely fine now? Clearly good enough to maintain the revolving door policy of getting in managers and players from higher divisions and spitting them out again for nothing a couple of years later! No need to worry about infrastructure. Although I did notice a skate on the Snooze complaining that there was no lighting in the North End bogs at the last home game. Presumably to match the cold water and lack of paper offered also. Edited 20 November, 2015 by TopGun
Mr Biscuits Posted 21 November, 2015 Posted 21 November, 2015 Surely you aren't suggesting that the dirty dirty skates haven't learned their lesson and have continued to spend like they are at the post Christmas sales despite the fact that they don't have as much money coming in and no super rich sugar daddy to pay the bills? It kind of reminds me of the gambling addict who, having lost everything, keeps on placing that one last bet because 'this is it lads, this is the big one that's definitely going to win'

Mr Biscuits Posted 21 November, 2015 Posted 21 November, 2015 Maybe, but I think we'll find this is the bestest safestest most surefire one last bet in all the world It won't be if they gave Champagne Ian the stake money to go down Ladbrokes. He'll have spent it in the nearest pub (which definitely appears to be the source of their team)
TopGun Posted 21 November, 2015 Posted 21 November, 2015 Injury time equaliser for Carlisle. What a choker!
hypochondriac Posted 21 November, 2015 Posted 21 November, 2015 Comment from their forum: Very few people thrive under intense pressure. Portsmouth FC and its supporters ramp it up beyond that.
Golden Balls Posted 22 November, 2015 Posted 22 November, 2015 Ha. I checked the scores after our game and saw they were 1-2 up. Was annoying considering we'd just lost. Literally just found out about the equaliser. Brilliant. Nice long trip home that for 900 of the bestest.
Dark Munster Posted 22 November, 2015 Posted 22 November, 2015 A small bit of amusement in an otherwise miserable weekend.
The9 Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Ha. I checked the scores after our game and saw they were 1-2 up. Was annoying considering we'd just lost. Literally just found out about the equaliser. Brilliant. Nice long trip home that for 900 of the bestest. I was delighted to discover Carlisle's equaliser as I was walking down the steps out of the bowl and made a point of telling everyone I knew. Bit of a screamer as well, lovely job. Nice long trip home for them as well.
rallyboy Posted 23 November, 2015 Posted 23 November, 2015 Like us they were also denied a blatant penalty. If anything that ref was too big for their game and was following secret orders from the league. Whereas our ref was just a ****.
OVER THE HILL Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 Half time 0-0 at the " Theatre of Bad Dreams ". York down to 10 men
CB Fry Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 Currently 4th which if they finish there I'd be happy with that, in that there's no way they'll finish outside the play offs.
the colonel Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 Get the open top bus out To celebrate they beat 10 men!!!! Shame they couldn't do it when all things are equal....well nothing new there.
redkeith Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Forget the legendary AC Milan game against Baresi, Guillet,Maldini,Inzahgi, Ronaldino, Rivera, Van Basten, Ray Wilkins, George Weah and Dasilly. In years to come all the talk will be ' I was there when we put 6 second half goals past 10 men, 7 losses on the bounce, York City. To give them some credit though, that is six more efforts on target than their last home game.
Golden Balls Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 It's about time they trashed someone. With their squad, management and overall advantages over the rest of the league they should be doing that on the regular.
Doctoroncall Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Currently 4th which if they finish there I'd be happy with that, in that there's no way they'll finish outside the play offs. Agree. I would think the playoffs would be the worst for them having made so many changes, mostly good. if they do go up as expected, League One is a different and difficult challenge. So many 'big' clubs there now.
eurosaint Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Agree. I would think the playoffs would be the worst for them having made so many changes, mostly good. if they do go up as expected, League One is a different and difficult challenge. So many 'big' clubs there now. So true, they will have to compete with 'massive' clubs like Fleetwood, Burton Albion, Bury and Shrewsbury ! But let's not deny them their dreams and aspirations, eh ? :)
rallyboy Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 I see York City are talking about contesting the red card. If successful, where do they collect their six goals and point?
Golden Balls Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Agree. I would think the playoffs would be the worst for them having made so many changes, mostly good. if they do go up as expected, League One is a different and difficult challenge. So many 'big' clubs there now. Play offs is failure really. They should be winning the league. They'll finished 3rd IMO which is job done I suppose. They'll have Sheff United, Wigan and maybe Bolton in L1. When we were there we had Norwich, Leeds, Charlton and Brighton. As well as very good Peterborough and Huddersfield sides. They won't have the luxury of 3 automatic spots either.
The9 Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Skates still 4 points off automatic promotion places despite the win over 10 men. That's two wins for them and two defeats for the 3rd place side just to get into the last automatic promotion spot. Long way to go, but they're in bad form and have been for a while. York are so bad that they're now below Newport and I've already booked my hotel in York for the weekend for their match in January.
Danbert Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 [h=3]"THE CLOSE of the emergency transfer window passed without major incident for Pompey. [/h] Paul Cook failed in his efforts to reduce the numbers in his squad by today’s 5pm deadline." http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/window-closes-quietly-for-pompey-1-7087663 So, no-one wants the overpaid rubbish they've brought in on long contracts then. Quelle surprise. Great way to motivate your squad too. Tell 'em you want rid and then keep them because you there are no takers. Those who've been left out must be feeling really positive about their chances of getting back into the first team.
Danbert Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Oh, and there are some historic chairs on display for one day only. What a history they have.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/lost-pompey-artefacts-return-to-fratton-park-1-7086615 :mcinnes::mcinnes::mcinnes:
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Are they putting the winding up petitions and creditors lists in the historical display?
Danbert Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Are they putting the winding up petitions and creditors lists in the historical display? According to the article, the event is in aid of some caravan charity. Bizarre, but true.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 27 November, 2015 Posted 27 November, 2015 According to the article, the event is in aid of some caravan charity. Bizarre, but true. Not really a surprise, a lot of the fanbase are caravan dwellers..

mickn Posted 27 November, 2015 Posted 27 November, 2015 It does make me laugh that in the comments builder Terry Clark gets slated, no mention of the alleged £55,000ish that he never got paid for building work he did on the ground.
Hatch Posted 27 November, 2015 Posted 27 November, 2015 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/pompey-face-fine-for-pitch-invader-1-7084735 Shame
Mr Biscuits Posted 27 November, 2015 Posted 27 November, 2015 Of course if they had a modern ground with properly trained stewards this would never be an issue.
Waterside.saint Posted 28 November, 2015 Posted 28 November, 2015 It does make me laugh that in the comments builder Terry Clark gets slated, no mention of the alleged £55,000ish that he never got paid for building work he did on the ground. Its a little-known fact thats the bestest most debt-free £55,000ish that ever went unpaid to a local small businessman
eurosaint Posted 28 November, 2015 Posted 28 November, 2015 2-2 draw v the mighty Wycombe ! Still equal top, 6 points behind with 4 teams above
Golden Balls Posted 29 November, 2015 Posted 29 November, 2015 2 wins in 8. How are they still within touching distances of the automatic promotion places? What a awful league they're in.
hypochondriac Posted 29 November, 2015 Posted 29 November, 2015 2 wins in 8. How are they still within touching distances of the automatic promotion places? What a awful league they're in. Well because tbf they were clear at the top before then.
