krissyboy31 Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 I see that the squad poster is being given away in tomorrow's programme and Herren Leibherr and Cortese are sat in the front row next to the manager and coaching staff. That won't go down very well with some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and away Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 I see that the squad poster is being given away in tomorrow's programme and Herren Leibherr and Cortese are sat in the front row next to the manager and coaching staff. That won't go down very well with some! Hockey, In the squad photo's, Sporting Director, does not go to away games, missing games through holiday.

suewhistle Posted 18 September, 2009 Share Posted 18 September, 2009 Salmon Pool behind Woodmill. .. access through South Stoneham House (know it well..was at SU), and rather big mullet in the stream as well. My cousins once caught a 9lb salmon in Monks brook up at Eastleigh many years ago. The things you learn on this board.... Anyway, it's a small, non-serious piece in The Guardian and some of you are taking it a bit too seriously.. as someone has pointed out it's all very tongue in cheek.

LostBoys Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 What totally crap journalism. Oh no I was forced to play hockey at school and I am associated with the club as I sit in the Kingsland - I had better check my ancestry to check I am not related to the village idiot of our ex chairman! The Guardian does not do humour by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Guardian does not do humour by the way. Of course they do. The actual newspaper itself is a joke and the more serious they attempt to be, the funnier they become. The same applies to their readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 "Southampton's owner, Markus Liebherr, has a background in hockey – a revelation that will send a shudder down the spines of Saints fans who recall Rupert Lowe's spells as chairman with anything but tenderness. But before St Mary's agitators use that fact as a jolly hockey stick with which to beat the owner of League One's only winless team, it must be pointed out that Liebherr only played the game at university. And as a scion of Europe's 42nd-richest family, the Swiss-based billionaire does not look like someone Southampton fans should be driving out of their club." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/sep/17/flavio-briatore-renault-formula-one (bottom of the page) LOL! I think Mr Liebherr can stay, hockey? He's h' OKay as far as I can see! (geddit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 I used to take the mickey out of a mate of mine who played hockey at school. Football, rugby and boxing me... but, when he reminded me that a rock hard ball flying around a pitch at nearly 100mph at knacker hieght was not a girls game I gave him some credit. Mind you, he could've achieved the same result playing cricket; which is not a girls game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostBoys Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 I am proud to say I actually got sent off playing hockey for my school. Being a lefty I played the wrong way round and the right back kept whacking me as I breezed past him. As I had a Soton Youth Cup football semi final that afternoon I was worried about being crocked and so when he took the umpteenth lump out of my leg (quite legitimately as you cannot shield the ball) I decked him. We were 14 nil up at the time. I ended up in serious trouble but this did not compare to the deep proverbial I was in when when my team picture with me holding the match ball appeared in the Echo having won the cup - as my school played Rugby!

bridge too far Posted 19 September, 2009 Author Share Posted 19 September, 2009 (edited) What totally crap journalism.

The Guardian does not do humour by the way. It does. It's just that some people don't have the intellectual ability to read and understand it, used as they are to corny 'pun' headlines in the Sun and its ilk.

Wes Tender Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 It does. It's just that some people don't have the intellectual ability to read and understand it, used as they are to corny 'pun' headlines in the Sun and its ilk. See, that's what I mean. Your assertion that you need to have an intellectual ability to read and understand the Guardian is amusing in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 19 September, 2009 Share Posted 19 September, 2009 Marvellous! Glad you've found something funny - hope you continue to have a good weekend Thanks. I'll only have a good weekend if we break our duck this afternoon and I witness our first win under the new regime. That is a very serious matter. My enjoyment of the weekend will be further enhanced if the Skates get a thrashing by Villa. See, it doesn't take much to make me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
