hughieslastminutegoal Posted 25 November, 2010 Posted 25 November, 2010 Anyone remember the alternative football magazine FOUL in the mid 70's, a kind of football Private Eye? The editor (Alan Stewart) was a war zone journalist who sadly got himself killed by a land mine in Eithiopia or somewhere like that. A few other regular writers (e.g. Chris Lightbrown) went on to write for The Times and similar papers when FOUL went out of production. Now that did have stuff worth reading. It did feature some full page local stuff on Saints, Poopey and Bournemouth.

georgeweahscousin Posted 25 November, 2010 Author Posted 25 November, 2010 Now that did have stuff worth reading. Thanks!
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 November, 2010 Posted 26 November, 2010 Thanks! Yeah, I thought you might react to that bit!
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 November, 2010 Posted 26 November, 2010 (edited) Good man, Ron. I'm amazed you still have any copies. And only 12p. A bargain! And the great Bill Tidy used to do some of the cartoons. Edited 26 November, 2010 by hughieslastminutegoal
RonManager Posted 26 November, 2010 Posted 26 November, 2010 Good man, Ron. I'm amazed you still have any copies. And only 12p. A bargain! And the great Bill Tidy used to do some of the cartoons. Mine are long gone, this and others was on ebay! Might have a wee bid and see if they are still as funny as I remember them.
hughieslastminutegoal Posted 26 November, 2010 Posted 26 November, 2010 Mine are long gone, this and others was on ebay! Might have a wee bid and see if they are still as funny as I remember them. I suppose a wee bid for a magazine that took the p*ss is appropriate.
hasper57saint Posted 26 November, 2010 Posted 26 November, 2010 I suppose for the non 'initiated' it'll pass; but I still prefer League 1 minus 10 for my fix about Saints.

Joensuu Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 http://www.shoot.co.uk/news/latest_article/C50/leagues_1_2/super_southamton_turn_on_style Good read... small point "the manager is rotating the back four and the centre of midfield without effecting results." 'affecting' surely?
exile on main street Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 mate, the spelling needs sorting. makes you look stupid. sorry.
georgeweahscousin Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 Good read... small point "the manager is rotating the back four and the centre of midfield without effecting results." 'affecting' surely? Thanks, and agree. Silly mistake. mate, the spelling needs sorting. makes you look stupid. sorry. What is worse, is, I can't see any? Can you point them out. All feedback is appreciated, but what is even more worrying, is that these blogs go through an editor before they are published!
georgeweahscousin Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 Just spotted "traveled" as opposed to "travelled". I am blaming my spell checker for being American on that one.....
trousers Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Thanks, and agree. Silly mistake. What is worse, is, I can't see any? Can you point them out. "SOUTHAMTON" in the headline.... :-) Good read though
exile on main street Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I spotted "Southamton" too, somewhere (I think it was in the headline bit of one of your posts). I'm not trying to make your life more difficult, honest. You are clearly knowledgeable and passionate and the fact that you are writing a blog about Saints on a national website is to be applauded. The problem is that errors in spelling and grammar detract from the authority of your opinions. And if these are being passed to an editor for checking, then you will excuse me for saying that the editor is not very good at his/her job (I was going to say that the editor was ****, but that would be rude. My Mum raised me better than that.) My advice would be to dump the spellchecker and do it yourself. Read it back and say it out loud to yourself as you do so. This may make you look like a mentalist to anyone watching but it works, trust me. Spellcheckers are untrustworthy bastards and must be destroyed by any means necessary! Sorry to bang on, I've had rather a lot of coffee so far today.

Thanks for the compliments and advice, I appreciate all feedback, good and bad.
trousers Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 My advice would be to dump the spellchecker and do it yourself. Or post it here first for free expert proof reading.... ;-)

saint_bert Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 You mean your not really George Weahs cousin?!?! Good read.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 4 February, 2011 Posted 4 February, 2011 I’m quite a BIG deal in the entertainment industry - so if you ever need any help with the blog, let me know. Probably won’t be able to help as I’m always busy, but if you don’t ask you don’t get!!
