Saint in Paradise Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 (edited) It's fine by me, and I'm pretty sure it'd be fine by everybody. Sorry Ponty but if Scooby starts using that ridiculous name for Mr Crouch I ask for him to be banned. Also if people call Mr Lowe and even Mr Wilde stupid names I think they should be bannished as well. There is no need for any of that type of name calling IMHO Edited 1 October, 2008 by Saint in Paradise spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There are no guidelines in terms of your angle, we will not censor your views, as long as it remains within the confines of the rules of this forum and the guidelines above, in fact we look forward to vastly opposing opinions." I'm sure name-calling is outside of the broad forum rules, and therefore wouldn't be ok in any columns. I'd also like to think that Scooby is actually able to write some useful content without resorting to such actions. It, of course, is possible that I credit people with too much decency but that's where I stand on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 1 October, 2008 Share Posted 1 October, 2008 The article I'm really looking forward to reading would be by Andrew Cowen My year (and a bit) in the Wildeerness (Just what DID he and Rupe's do while concocting their cunning plan?) Followed by Leon My regrets And then of course, anything by Scooby But I actually agree with the idea of Trousers and the Takeover column. Just imagine an abuse-free zone where he can really (libel laws permitting) get the facts behind such great stories as "LLS - my part in Bournemouth's downfall." "The Tyre Kickers Guide to the Universe", "Yachting for Beginners" - wonderful stuff And then, following on from an idea based on what used to be a wonderful monthly article in "The Coombe Bissett & Homington Express" by Deirdre Millhench (God bless her) called "It occurs to me..." we could have IMHO by Morph Bring it on I say (Oh and of course - as per my previous post which I humbly take the credit for giving this idea to the guys for...

I've put him forward because he's having trouble logging on to here at the moment and cant do it himself. Thanks. A very good shout. The young guy writes in an excellent prose style typical of a sports reporter. And typical of the Echo type, there was an error. Stefanovic was the ex Skate, not Stankovic. Otherwise a good read.

Guest Hacienda Posted 2 October, 2008 Share Posted 2 October, 2008 Very able. Good, then maybe you could answer this in your column. Scooby, tell us where the 10,000 that you said deserted the club after the "night of the long knives" who would return with Lowe's return? Of course, the fact that the 10,000 turned their back on the club doesn't make them "real fans" anyway using your own criteria as laid out in dozens of posts.

holepuncture Posted 3 October, 2008 Share Posted 3 October, 2008 If you want a pro Lowe type columnist go for a poster called stthrobber (used to write for S4E til Keith sacked him). At least his articles won't make this site a laughing stock like Scoobies would. correct! As much as I enjoy reading Scoobys postings, I am convinced he is a skate. That said, the language he employs is fantastic, carefully chosen to spark reaction and contraversy, which is excellent on a fans forum which is open for saucy banter and jaunty debate, but not for a 'published' collumn. Anyone with a handful of intelligence should be able to write an arguement for either 'side of the coin' regardless of personal preference, prejudice, passion etc. This is where I think some of our most intriging posters fall short (IMO) Scooby, Alpine, Chorley, Beast, and many more (please dont take offence if I did or did not list you!). For these reasons I would vote for an academic, I also enjoy the postings of Steve Grant, or... if he could be charmed back, Fitzburg himself. I telephone interviewed Duncan for my SFC/CCC finance investigation last year and whilst he clearly didnt sit on the fence (ala Lowe and Co) he certainly was prepared to weigh up the merits of all sides and balance, justify and support his arguements accordingly. Thats what makes an interesting and insightful read in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 7 October, 2008 Share Posted 7 October, 2008 (edited) Love the double entendre! Personally I'd like to volunteer Trousers. I think he could write an excellent Trousers' Takeover Talk column. It would feature his own tire[some]less brand of investigative journalism where he could interview ITK posters and speak to the people at the centre of the stories to get to the facts so he can ignore them. In his rabid search for the truth, he could use the SaintsWeb subscriptions to travel all over the world to cut through hype and ignore denials. He could visit Paul Allen on his yacht to find out what stopped the deal going through at the eleventh hour. He could talk to the bloke who had the video conferencing business in Guildford and ask him what scuppered the deal with the Arabs. He could explore the rumour that Jonathan Fulthorpe is in fact not a barrister but instead a barista who works in Costa Coffee in Eastleigh. He could travel to north Basingstoke to ask Barry just what was in the briefcase. He could visit Alan Shearer's northern mansion and explain to him how each Newcastle denial he issues leads him inexorably closer to the St. Marys' hot seat. He could create the world's largest library of photofit ear pictures and compare them with the ears of every Director's box attendee to answer the question "Are you David Dein?" And once a year on March 1st, we could celebrate St. David's day by asking what would it take for Lowe to sell up? As a Life Long Saint, I think he deserves this once in a life time opportunity to become the single biggest user of Google images. You know this makes sense. What? He already does these things? Oh...

Professor Posted 23 October, 2008 Share Posted 23 October, 2008 Would this be the same Professor who has stated on here that he's not going to SMS anymore because it's a waste of money? Surely that would put him in the "not a real fan" camp? Yes it is the same one, and despite having followed Saints for nearly 50 years - possibly before View From the Top was soiling his first nappy - I'm not going regularly to SMS because I've deteriorated into a fair weather supporter! I now go occasionally. This is in no way a criticism of RL, MW, and JP who are doing their best with the limited resources available. I do believe MW was at fault for the disruption he caused with his regime change but that is water under the bridge. I simply do not want to spend my Saturdays (6 hrs including travel) in seeing my team struggling, week after week. When home form improves, so will the frequency of my attendance.

Daren Wheeler and excellent column isn't that an oxymoron whatever the connotation of column? Considering the bile the bloke has spat about this club especially with regard to his pious attempts to collect money for Cancer Research which I suspect he would not have bothered had his mother not contracted cancer herself. Believe me IMO Daren Wheeler is the last person we need to speak out on the club in an unbiased fashion. No doubt he will be hitting them with his 'charity stick' for a long time obviously so or otherwise. Just an opinion but appears the type to carry a grudge even in light of an explanation and one who strikes me as needing to be treated differently and above the normal fan to court a more favourable opinion.

They didn't just refuse, they just ignored it. Tossed it away, popped in the bin, file 13. They ignored an email, a letter and a phone call. Not from an uberfan who thinks he's special but the son of a mother who's dying of cancer and who wanted to make some sense of the unfairness of it all by trying to help other people.. Got that? Upon ignoring that simple request I mentioned it my Echo column purely and simply because I couldn't believe that the club would just ignore a request to help someone raise money for charity, in the vain hope that SFC's PR department might think it be worthy of picking up as not the best publicity for the club and they might actually help. They didn't and after mentioning it four times they still didn't pick it up which whilst you think it's me "spreading bile" I think it's me pointing that the club, your club, just couldn't be arsed to help me raise money for charity.

A fan of some 65 years and they couldn't even be arsed to do something that's free. It was left to Dave Ford to do something off his own bat and by that time the chemo had made her so ill she just couldn't go. And yet on here you had insensitive ****s like you saying that I'm some grief stricken madman on some angry vendetta to bring the club down. One bright spark even stated that "You wouldn't expect you local Vovlo dealership to help you with charity money so why should the club?" The fact that this club used to be the heartbeat of the city/community and has always helped deserving causes is lost them. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps Cancer research doen't need money raising for it, perhpas the club doesn't have to help people raise money for a good cause and any money they raised in the past is just jollty good luck. Perhpa the club doesn't need to answer to it's fans/customers as after all what are we other than... oops! the people who keep it in business. And then the club sent me my season ticket renewal forms. It was tant amount to saying, "Well you know we couldn't be arsed to help you raise money for charity and we know we couldn't be arsed to get your mother's shirt signed etc but is there any way you could pay for all your games in advance this year?" They can go **** themselves, the board that is, not the club and so can you Sundance or whatever your real name is. You're sadly indicative of what's wrong with this messagebaord. You're a coward who thinks he can spew insults and bile with inpugnity with the safe knowledge that they will never have to meet that person face to face and say to their face what they so freely say behind the safety of a pc screen.

Mole Posted 24 October, 2008 Share Posted 24 October, 2008 Darren i hear what you are saying. It's not the fact the club refused you that is the issue, it's the fact they never even bothered to reply to say no. As far as i'm concerned a football club is a community institution and they should do the little things that is IMO their civic duty. Why my dad was in hospital with Cancer with a couple of weeks left to live i bought a get well card from the club shop, put the hospital wards address on it and a stamp and asked the lady in reception if she could get the players to sign it and then send it off. At first she said the club don't make a habit of signing cards - thinking it was a christmas card, but once i explained things she said she'd see what she could do. Within a few days he receieved the signed card and it made a dieing man smile. In DW's instancethe club were out of order, but as my example shows the club do do the right thing as well sometimes. As for Sundance don't take any notice of him. He's just a vile non entity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within a few days he receieved the signed card and it made a dieing man smile. In DW's instancethe club were out of order, but as my example shows the club do do the right thing as well sometimes. As for Sundance don't take any notice of him. He's just a vile non entity. Stanley, the I don't feel the club has to do anything, they never have had to do anything, they just do and it's what makes football clubs like ours stand out. You're absolutely on the money when you say that it was not the refusal, I was always chancing my hand by asking, but the sheer arrogance of not bothering to reply vthat annoyed me. If I was asking for something for myself or a jolly or a freebie then yes but asking for help to raise money for charity and to hear nothing, especially when I asked for ten minutes of the clubs time to do something for my mother, well that was pretty shameful. A simple yes or no would suffice but to ignore it... And as for Sundance, well I think the cowardly little scumbag will get what's coming to him. Karma's like that...

lamanga Posted 25 October, 2008 Share Posted 25 October, 2008 Chinese say wait long enough and you'll see your rivals floating past without the need to do anything at all. As for the Club, not only should they have done something but made it an absolute priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
