Crab Lungs Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 Missing items from Storrie's dictionary - Transfer window - a window in which normal clubs do transfers, a useful tool for those who need to sell. Criminal - someone who launders arms money, steals from transfer deals, and trades insolvent whilst simultaneously trousering cash. Debt repayment - a scheme that allows you to address debts, favoured by people who want to stay out of prison. Friend – someone who preferably doesn’t maim children with landmines and isn’t wanted for selling arms illegally to African dictatorships. Liar - someone who misleads fans, spins untruth through the media, misleads the taxman, treats the court system with disdain. Tanya - prison slang for someone who could put you behind bars if she gets offered a deal. Scary – a Russian mafia debt collector firebombing your car at 2am as a warning. Not scary – someone waving a tenner at you. Inevitable - an event that cannot be avoided however much you pretend that everything is fine. Poker – a game of chance where people with nothing in their hand try and bluff their way to make money, also a type of massage performed on industrial estates, mainly by lonely truckers. Ford - a struggling car giant, also a cushy holiday resort in West Sussex for low risk convicts, and people who had nothing in their hands, see poker. Liquidation – an unfortunate by-product of a land deal that should set you up for life. Ethics – the county where Harry buried the bodies after the West Ham blag.

miserableoldgit Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 I was prepared to listen to this with an open mind but sadly, most of the fans came across as simpletons - "It`s all the PL`s fault!", "We don`t owe as much as West Ham or Man U", "We`re a more attractive proposition than West Ham"" etc, etc. At least a couple of panelists told it like it is.

Crab Lungs Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 Poor Steve Claridge - constantly reiterating the harsh truths to a frothy-mouthed group of simpletons who just couldn't figure who to point the blame at. "It's Storrie!" "Nope, definitely the Premier Leagues fault" "It's a media conspiracy!" "We're a better proposition that WHU! And we don't have as much debt as them, Man United etc" Poor Steve Claridge, constantly having to explain and re-explain the harsh realities whilst several human shaped ostriches thrust their heads into Southsea's pebbled, windswept beach, pretending not to hear him. Like I said above, if AFC Portsmouth is an eventuality out of all this then Steve Claridge would be an ideal man in some kind of role at the club. Genuine, articulate and painstakingly honest - he'd definitely be a welcome change to the current setup of crooks they've got now. In fact, he'd be a massive improvement on the current lot.

Gingeletiss Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 So is administration still an option for them then? The BBC panel seem to think so. Well yes, but they can't now place themselves into it, it's now a court issue. On the point of administration, missed by most of the do good media, HMRC has bought the winding up order, and they would be right at the bottom of the food chain, if admin was granted. Hence, one of the reasons why they are going for broke..........a lesson to the F.A methinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 I enjoyed that show. As I said at the time I started to feel sorry for Terry the Builder until he decided to bring "The Class War" card into play. The amazing thing is that when we went into admin we were split as fans into many sub-factions, not just pro or anti's but also pro - anti happy clappy's. The fact was however that just about every single fan understood that we were in trouble, took time to understand what had happened and why and that even young KIDS were able to grasp the nettle and make things like protest marches happen. (Hell even I still try and take some credit for Portaloo becoming resigned only a few hours after my letter to the Echo was published.) The fact is we understood and we debated and heck even our wives, girlfriends, mums and grannies knew the score. What's more, even though we still cannot really agree on who was to blame, we all know one thing - It happened in OUR Boardroom and it was the fault of officiers of OUR club. But to listen to the few tonight, especially that bloke on "we're a better deal than West Ham - (I bet he was the Dad of the kid photographed jumping up and down on the thin ice) - I just have to for the VERY first time make one simple statement I think that they have got the club they deserved. Hope they get out of it with a 25 point penalty next season, but it seems less likely. Ford Open Prison for Storrie teller?

hutch Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 (edited) And if you need reassurance that FIFA will do the decent thing, and that right will prevail, I've just seen that they have rejected Togo's appeal against the ban on competing in competitions for failing to fulfill their fixtures in the recent African Cup of Bad Timing, lodged on the spurious grounds that most of their squad were machine-gunned by terrorists while crossing the border into Angola. Pompey's request for relaxation of the rules is far more compelling. Isn't it?

Tomobz Posted 18 February, 2010 Share Posted 18 February, 2010 ''You can’t put the equivalent with Pompey against Man United, even West Ham, you can’t even equate West Ham to Pompey. West Ham have 35 thousand people, they have a stadium that caters for it, a training academy and an infrastructure to their club. This club (Pompey) spend 60 million and you’re not back to square one, you’re talking about a new ground, your talking about a club that trains in Southampton! We haven’t got a training ground, we haven’t got a football club, we haven’t got a ground. There is nothing, and I’m sorry I am being a realist, I’m not being negative. There is nothing this football club has to offer. Unless you are you, you, you, you, you or you and you’re a fan and you love this club. Because for anyone outside of that, this is not a realistic buying opportunity and I’m sorry.''. I think that is pretty much what Claridge said for anyone interested...

The majority of you lot on here were slating the Football League for imposing your 10 point penalty, and bleating on about how SHL and SFC were two separate companies for weeks after everyone else had realised that the game was up, and that they were clearly one and the same entity. Jeez, even SHL's official website just happend to be 'saintsfc.co.uk' for christs sake, yet oh no, the FL were out to get you big time. Also, at least half of posters on here were shatting themselves over administration right up until it became clear that it was by far your best option to get new owners to start sniffing around. Yet now you tell it like you all knew from day one it was the best thing that could happen, so bring it on! Buuuull****! Now you slate the couple of our fans (and it was only two) who lash out at the PL, one of whom has obviously lost a shedload of money. Who wouldn't lash out in circumstances like that? I agree that Claridge has it pretty much spot on in that what we were doing was only sustainable until Gaydamak pulled the plug, and yes the infrastructure is almost non-existant at Pompey, which makes it a much harder sell than West Ham or Newcastle. There are a few of you on here who are genuinely interested in the game and a bit of light banter. Sadly, many of you seem to live in some bitter and twisted little fantasyland where everyone within the SO postcode has a masters degree and matching Tefal-head, and anyone wearing the star and crescent is some sort of care in the community windowlicker.
