Frank's cousin Posted 14 November, 2012 Share Posted 14 November, 2012 I dont really understand why the OP has added MLT's name to the thread's title. Mischief making perhaps ? MLT is not a promoter of theatre events ffs.....you might as well add Stelling, Merson etc etc And I do fail everytime this comes up to understand the stick Mike Osman gets on this forum from some people. He is a Saints fan who has done a hell of a lot for charity over the years. Which one of those two facts is the crime then ? Think 100% of fans would applaud MO for his charitable work - hats off to him, nice to see. 100% of fans would probabally enjoy a pint and chin wag with him as he is obviously a passionate saints fan The stick he got from some (me included) was that during the grim old days, he like all fans sided with one side and because he has a public platform, his voice was heard louder than most on his stance etc. Great if you agreed with his POV, but bound to attract criticism if you did not, which I am sure he would say is fair enough. A small minority had an issue withn the rumoured pay he got for the half time entertainment - I had no issue with this as if true, it was a fair going rate, but we were quite skint at the time so maybe that did not help. Another group gave hiom stick because they did not think he was funny... which is a matter of individual taste and opinion, and again, I doubt he expects everyone to like his comedy. You respect opinion. So no big deal really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdsaint Posted 14 November, 2012 Share Posted 14 November, 2012 Would have thought that any legal action in the first instance would be a strongly worded letter to the forum admin asking for them to remove the content (and pay costs) or to ask for details surrounding any user causing an issue or be held liable for the content.

Big John Posted 14 November, 2012 Share Posted 14 November, 2012 THis is cracking me up' date=' cant follow a thing, Mike's probably getting loads of [b']new material [/b]with this wonderful thread... Jeez.... NO one knows why it was cancelled and it looks like its between Mike and Sky - but either way not sure its really any of our business.... Mike doesn't need new material, as long as there are people who get pleasure from seeing a man with his hand up a horses head pretending it is s talking horse named Desert Orchid then he will sell tickets* to his shows. *Sky Sports permitting of course.

For some time before Pinnacle dropped out he was saying there was a 'blue chip' Swiss bidder who did have the money although he either didn't know who it was or he wasn't going to break a confidence. He felt then the wrong bidder was being given preference. He gives an enormous amount of his time to helping fund raising events and is terrific entertainment especially with draws, auctions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Garrett Posted 14 November, 2012 Share Posted 14 November, 2012 I thought Mike Osman was ok when he did the half-times.

egg Posted 14 November, 2012 Share Posted 14 November, 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2232560/Soccer-Saturday-tour-scrapped--Charlie-Sale.html Looks like they have been using Sky's 'Soccer Saturday' brand without permission..... I wonder if this will affect MLT's position as a pundit with them. They can't be too happy. It appears it's another fine mess that Osman has dragged MLT into..... I thought I would comment before yet another thread gets ruined by attention seekers. On subject. To be fair, none of the points in this post actually stem from the article. The first and third paragraphs are the op's own words and opinions. The latter is a bit naughty. Derry's reaction was a bit ott but Osman could rightly be unhappy by the suggestion that he has dragged mlt into a mess now and previously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 someones after a free signed photo. lol, no I already have a signed programme that an Arsenal mate gave me after a charity gig MO was doing. It was in London and MO was bigging Saints up and so my mate got me a signed programme. It hasn't changed my life, at the time i was on the other side of the fence to MO as i was classed as a 'LoweLuvvie' (remember those days lol) it didnt effect my thoughts about MO as I knew we both had a passion for our football club. It must hurt for someone like him to be disliked for no apparent reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
