rallyboy Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 No, no, no, no, no! There is only one great atmosphere in world football and one set of fans passionate enough to ruin their own party! Pele said it was the bestest ever when he played at Fatpipes in 1966 during Lord Nelson's famous World Cup dock strike commemoration match. #fact

CB Saint Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 He has refused another seat - biggest day in their history (given their incorporation date) and the gormless twonk is going to miss it because he is sulking.
bpsaint Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Match of the day Facebook page discussing sending down your teams bitter rivals ahead of Sunderland's match tonight. No need to guess which fans are on there rewriting history again.
Whitey Grandad Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/pompey-fan-s-fury-after-sky-snaffles-his-play-off-seat-1-7376067 Nasty Sky upsetting Pompey fans. Being in Division 4, they should count themselves fortunate that they don't have to put up with this too often... That is a problem with an outdated derelict stadium that doesn't have the appropriate facilities for modern football. I do sympathise with the fellow, having to sit through 44 years of watching Pompey and then having his seat taken away.
Golden Balls Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Just need a picture of him in the car park, wearing a shirt and holding a ST with a grumpy face. That'll show 'em!
Pamplemousse Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Had a quick look on POL and they are just as unsympathetic to the supporter as we are. And someone on there points out that his seat didn't exist until 1997 when the stand was rebuilt

The Cat Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 He's only had his ST for 10 years so why is the article blabbing on about 43 in the same seat?
trousers Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 He's only had his ST for 10 years so why is the article blabbing on about 43 in the same seat? You're surprised that an article in Pompey Pravda might contain fantasy rather than fact...?
dronskisaint Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Didn't want to put the camera up on Fatpipes gantry...? If it didn't fall through the rotting ironwork I guess it would be nicked...or maybe both! Championship standard rust....
Mr Biscuits Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 His argument would be valid if they hadn't offered him another seat. Childish, pathetic foot stamping of the highest order. But he got his picture in the paper so that's alright
The Cat Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 You're surprised that an article in Pompey Pravda might contain fantasy rather than fact...? Because he's a Pompey fan and therefore one of the bestest they must have taken the 10 years he's had his ST and worked out it out to be the equivalent of 43 years supporting anyone else.
buctootim Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Un'appy says his newly promoted side (Oxford United) have been "the best team" in League Two this season, i.e. not the bestestmostest: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36238416 Shome mishtake shurely Must be sweet for him getting Oxford promoted above Skates after being vilified there.
rallyboy Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Take that 43 years and add in the factors of passion and pluckiness and he has been sat there for 170 years. Which unfortunately after two administrations comes down to a week and a half.
Weston Super Saint Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 Still, on the plus side, he can now sit and watch the match in comfort, at home on his tellybox and won't have to suffer the smell of rotting detritus and fat filled pipes. Every cloud and that.... Do Sky still have a camera choice via the red button - if so, he could even choose to watch from the camera where his seat used to be safe in the knowledge that the stand won't fall on his head during the game...
The9 Posted 11 May, 2016 Posted 11 May, 2016 He has refused another seat - biggest day in their history (given their incorporation date) and the gormless twonk is going to miss it because he is sulking. We have a new Kirk From Corrie!
Dark Munster Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Well, the big little match is coming up tomorrow. Promotion or bust again for the phew, so it could spell disaster for them if the Pilgrims progress.
rallyboy Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Apparently the Plymouth coaching team had a right kick-off with adjacent supporters the other week so it could get tasty tonight. Not West Ham tasty, but I'd be surprised if the evening is incident-free.
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 There's a thread on POL about the demise of Newcastle Agree with the consensus. Newcastle had that coming. Delusional fans with unreasonable expectations means any manager is doomed to fail. Pot, kettle...

trousers Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 (edited) This Jordan Cross fella has been working with Factless for far too long... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/pompey/place-in-pompey-annals-the-greatest-of-spoils-1-7377653 In the realms of League Two football, it has never been bigger. Pompey v Plymouth. Paul Cook v Derek Adams. Naval port v naval port. It’s the two heavyweights of the fourth tier slugging it out The only shame is a packed Wembley will not host the meeting of the fourth-tier big hitters at the end of the month. Now it comes down to this – one of football’s ultimate tests of nerve. Holding theirs and kickstarting the journey back will ensure Cook’s men immortalise themselves in the club’s annals. And a place in history is surely the greatest of spoils for the play-off victor. Chairman Iain McInnes joked this week the League Two trophy should have been on parade at Pompey’s end-of-season dinner on Monday. Edited 12 May, 2016 by trousers
rallyboy Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 The two big hitters of the division?? It's 5th v 6th in Division Four, not exactly Real Madrid-Barcelona is it! Heavyweights! Are we are all supposed to pretend that they didn't finish 21 points behind Northampton Town? History being rewritten quicker than usual there. I'll be curious to see if they pack the park for the biggest game in their short history, the only thing Paul Cook has packed so far this season is sandwiches.

Makes me think of that Baddiel and Skinner sketch on FFL "Saint & Greavsie talk about the Endsleigh league as if it is important". LOL.
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Ex-scummer Danny Higginbotham doing the commentary for Sky. I'm sure that'll go down well with the locals.
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Pompey have just signed an emergency goalkeeper from Bournemouth and he starts! Shame Tommy Forecast is no longer with us, I'm sure we could've offered him
BigShadow Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Pompey are believed to have been given special dispensation by the Football League to draft in Allsop to cover for a goalkeeping crisis. Special dispensation again, eh? The cynic in me says it is somewhat convenient that they emergency loan a keeper to go straight into the first team. Hopefully it leads to lots of cock-ups with an unfamiliar defence.
beatlesaint Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Pompey have just signed an emergency goalkeeper from Bournemouth and he starts! Shame Tommy Forecast is no longer with us, I'm sure we could've offered him yep, good to see the Cherries helping them out, makes me want to puke this bloody love in they have !
TwoPints Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Lol at Sky commentary talking about how playing at Fat pipes in that atmosphere can crush a player!
TwoPints Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 "they're making the noise of 80,000" - you couldn't make it up.
benjii Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Plymouth just gifted them a goal. The quality from both sides has been absolutely dire so far!
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Looks like that greasy spoon breakfast did the job
nta786 Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Plymouth just gifted them a goal. The quality from both sides has been absolutely dire so far! That goal summed up league 2 football.

LGTL Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Excellent goalkeeping from the bestest emergency loan signing in history.
beatlesaint Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 YESSS!! 1-1 haha that's shut the worlds greatest fans up for a bit !!
Pamplemousse Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Just moments after they started singing Que sera sera
saint1977 Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Paul Wotton giving them loads. Good lad, we trained him well. Quite right as well, Cook was a right plonker there and rightly sent off. Their centre forward hasn't even sneezed on Doyle and he's claiming he's got a cut on his dead. Must have the pain threshold of an ant. If Plymouth can keep 11 on the pitch, they'll win this as that keeper looks a liability.
Saint Benali Posted 12 May, 2016 Posted 12 May, 2016 Paul Wotton legend. At least Cook has got his excuse in already.
