Give it to Ron Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1739008,00.html With quite a few of us getting worried about lack of signings this was not exactly what I wanted to see on the OS
ottery st mary Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 For a second I was really excited when I saw the headline.......Its cuuummming as they say in the movies.....Friday is here....
ToreSF Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Maybe the OS is just teasing us as they know som new signings will be unveiled later today...?
Saintjersey Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Oh the good old OS, they should be on stage performing stand up comedy.
MerceSaint28 Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Really annoyed about this. This kind of b*llocks really annoys fans, they need to realise that. We used to get this under the Lowe regime. Nobody gives a monkeys about a radio gadget, sign some damn players!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Godfather Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 ******* annoying headline, gives a false impression.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I hate the OS's misleading headlines, bloody annoying. Another 'classic' was "Players signing!" but in actual fact it was just players signing books.
greg_hill Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Glad to see I'm not the only one who felt slightly but genuinly ticked off by that heading from the OS.
sussexsaint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 lol - Cheer up FFS they know how anxious we all are and I'm sure they are doing all they can , I actually thoughtit was quite funny all things considered Considering the position we were in a matter of weeks ago people have become very depressed and cynical very quickly again Have a little faith
saintray Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I think its a ****ing great headline! Gets us all on the edge of our seats! Then we get let down. Cheer up you moody lot!
ChrisPY Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Maybe the OS is just teasing us as they know som new signings will be unveiled later today...? What he said.
Give it to Ron Posted 31 July, 2009 Author Posted 31 July, 2009 lol - Cheer up FFS they know how anxious we all are and I'm sure they are doing all they can , I actually thoughtit was quite funny all things considered Considering the position we were in a matter of weeks ago people have become very depressed and cynical very quickly again Have a little faith I fully understand that and no-one is disregarding the situation we were in a few weeks ago. That does not mean that we can put aside our worries since or for the future. We still have to be prepared for the first game and we are not even close with the squad we have. We are one tackle away from having to recruit raw inexperienced players like Lancashire that are not up to it. We have no pace, width or power in the team. One concern for me still is why no backroom staff have yet been appointed. How many managers take over without bringing anyone with him? We are 2 weeks on and apart from Harding not equipped to overcome the -10 points early that will build the momentum to let us have a good season. Apologies if this comes across as negative it just this forum gives us the voice to air our concerns it does not mean we do not support the new regime and are not grateful - its just we want to build on the decisions we saw early on. We appear to have it right off the pitch now with new ST prices etc and dont want to fall into the old ways of not investing on it.
SaintDonkey Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 So where does this leave Saints TV? I note that this comes out the day I get my 'auto renewal' notice from that.
sotonjoe Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 It's just like the witty thread titles people post on here.
Cincy USA Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I love how none of the links to this new player actually work
Cheesegrater999 Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 What a miserable bunch of fans we are, after the initial dissapointment I found the headline quite funny. I can just imagine their smirking faces in the office as they write it. Plus it also makes me think that they wouldn't play with us like this if they didn't think we could expect some actual player signings shortly......maybe........hopefully
redorwhitelion Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I wouldn't mind the tease element of it, if the the joke was any good or not completely predictable.
wimbornesaint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I wonder if it will work on my IPod Touch? (via Wi-Fi)
Chez Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Great headline. Some of you need to lighten up a little and remember that we have only just been saved from fate worse than death - shopping on a Saturday afternoon!
*Halo* Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Grrr, that really is just not funny. First saw the title of the article come up on NewsNow, thought "yes, finally...who is it?" Clicked article link... cue usual disappointment. Surely they must know how frustrated we are with the lack of incoming players so far? Under different circumstances, in happier times, sure, it would've been mildly amusing. But not now. Not when we've got a threadbare squad which is likely to really struggle unless we can make some serious improvements to it. Bad taste and timing, very disappointed OS.
St.Patrik Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 That must be a joke from the writers on the OS - otherwise they are just cruel. Some player will sign today and this is just like I said a joke (at least I hope so)

I didn't find it particularly hilarious either, but bad taste???? You must be very easily offended!
ottery st mary Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 There is still the 2pm chimes to be heard.....What do they call that gathering when we announce Messi as our new star signing?
Rut Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 *** "Live Audio coverage of every game" Cool - must mean they've sorted out a deal with Radio Solent. For us ex-pats this service is invaluable. *** "Match Highlights" Again - this will be really handy. League One games don't get too much coverage on USA TV. *** "Huge Archive (to be launched end of August)" Every Saints goal ever? Now that would be quality! Will be interesting to see just what they do put in the archive. Just the games from the last few seasons? Or lots of famous Saints games from over the years?
Ohio Saint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Nothing useful to add here. just add me to the ranks of the suckers that got all excited then enormously ****ed off. Oh yeah, I'm still looking forwardto the new saints TV though.
NY Saint Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 My first Saints news related visit is here every morning, so the title looks like every other misleading thread on here lol. Nice to see Mac compatibility, and League One highlights per Rut's message. Getting a little nervous with only a week to go before our first game and not even rumoured signings appearing yet. When does the transfer window shut?
Professor Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 For anyone who complained about the OS in the past, it seems to be trawling new depths. This headline was not only a cynical abuse of fans current worries about the thin squad, it also shows a complete lack of understanding of the depth of fan's loyalty. This comes just as the OS is recycling old stories to fill in space and fails to give early information on current news, such as Dean Wilkins appointment being on Solent before it is on the OS. For thsoe who wanted to see a clear out of the old regime, I'd have to agree that a new broom on the OS would be a good idea.
SamKimish Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 BBC are showing League 1 highlights from this season onwards in their new Match of the Day style programme "The Football League Show" It's on after MOTD, usually at 11:45 if you are willing to stay up that late. It's about an hour long so I reckon Saints will usually be shown about half way through? It's available for 7 days on iplayer anyway though so I won't be paying for the Saints Player ...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Mmm, not in the best possible taste to be fair and I have to admit to being a little rattled by that. If it had come at any other time (i.e. when the club is not facing a -10 point overhaul in L1) I might have been midly amused, but now of all times seems a little thoughtless and somewhat juvenile of whoever used that title.
Saint_clark Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 Got really excited when I first read it. I thought it was really funny.
rolosfc Posted 31 July, 2009 Posted 31 July, 2009 I hate the OS, why post a headline like that on a day they know fans will be waiting for some big news. So infuriating.
