Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 The kid on the right covering his ears. LOl. That's my son!!! Ow and I'm sitting to his right. Next to someone who may want to remain anonymous. :-)))
Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 My son was covering his ears because of the noise from Besiktas. Although it could well have been because of our terrible singing. Not the best photo I've ever seen of me & seeing as I was wearing sunglasses this was just before kick off. I know who took the photo which means I know the identity of Trousers. I shall not divulge.
Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 The guy staring at alps looks pretty angry I think I was singing, but I have to agree I really don't look very happy. You have to laugh.
verlaine1979 Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Aside from smacking one in from 20 yards, how did Mayuka actually do?
Saint Charlie Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Aside from smacking one in from 20 yards, how did Mayuka actually do? Also had a tidy finish disallowed for a marginal offside.
shurlock Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Also had a tidy finish disallowed for a marginal offside. Which was clearly onside.
Andy Durman Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Also had a tidy finish disallowed for a marginal offside. Sorry I've watched the replays and it should not have been disallowed as it was Puncheon offside and not Mayuka.
Saints boy in Leeds Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 i have backed mayuka since day one (taken some stick for it) but today's wonder goal leaves me vindicated. Felt like that goal was for me lol
Viking Warrior Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 S Clarke I know sad old git he's too young to. Be sad old git
Downthe36 Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Confirmed happy clapper To be fair this tour seems to have been a life changing experience for Alps, I vote the team go there every year until he is fully cured.
slickmick Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Had Alps down as the guy in the back row with the yellow t-shirt or the one a few along from his right with his hand on his chin. Andy Durman looks shocked at you smiling and clapping.
eurosaint Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 This thread has exposed a few myths already : 1) Alpine_saint is a real human being ! 2) He is able to smile and clap ! 3) He has actually seen saints play live ! :)
Viking Warrior Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Euro have we got independent verification that was alps ?
Saint Charlie Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 IMO Alpine and Calum Chambers have come out of the trip best. Isgrove with an honourable mention too.
View From The Top Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Euro have we got independent verification that was alps ? TBF would you willingly admit to looking like that? No, nor would I, so we can be safe that it is he.
dubai_phil Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Well, I think it's great that we have added a few more TSW members to the list of "Those who have been pictured on the Forum" Welcome to the club gang. (But next time get a professional like Minty to take the pics)
Viking Warrior Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 Well I'm pleased that alps came the trip even if I still disagree with some of his posts . Maybe there will be a thaw between us anti alps brigade . He looks as old as me

Maybe there will be a thaw between us anti alps brigade . He looks as old as me There'll be a thaw until England are 20-6 against the Aussies in the first Test Down Under, or the first time we go 1-0 down on a match thread
alpine_saint Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 TBF would you willingly admit to looking like that? No, nor would I, so we can be safe that it is he. Come on then, show us what you look like. I had a great time, enjoyed the brief company of fellow Saints fans, enjoyed some time with my kids, and bellends like you try to put a downer on it. Get a life. *would appreciate someone quoting this as the numpty coward keeps claiming I am on ignore, despite the abuse he dishes out*

niceandfriendly Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I had alpine down as being much younger to be honest. Now we've seen he is capable of smiling are we all friends now?
Raging Bull Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 That's my son!!! Ow and I'm sitting to his right. Next to someone who may want to remain anonymous. :-))) You've got a touch of the George Michael's about you.
Wes Tender Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 TBF would you willingly admit to looking like that? No, nor would I, so we can be safe that it is he. No need for personal abuse based on appearances. It isn't very clever.
Olallana Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Come on then, show us what you look like.

View From The Top Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 No need for personal abuse based on appearances. It isn't very clever. The c**t get everything he deserves as far as I'm concerned & if the delicate flowers don't like it then I really don't give a sh.it.
iansums Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 The c**t get everything he deserves as far as I'm concerned & if the delicate flowers don't like it then I really don't give a sh.it. Infraction heading your way perhaps? Have to say I take the p*ss out of Alpine a fair bit myself but this comment of yours is just plain nasty. But then again, you don't give a sh*t do you?
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I've met VFTT in real life in a Blackpool chippy. He is not exactly trading on the looks of a Greek god. In fact, I reckon I'm prettier than him.
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Highlights.. http://youtu.be/qYJ08qldA28 Cheers. Brilliant save from Brouc early on, loved how he was already getting angry with the defenders as he hit the ground.
Andy Durman Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Well, I think it's great that we have added a few more TSW members to the list of "Those who have been pictured on the Forum" Welcome to the club gang. (But next time get a professional like Minty to take the pics) Phil I've got news for you the person who took the picture takes pictures for a living
Andy Durman Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 News for a few people but when you actually sit down and talk Saints with Alpine he make a lot sense and we agreed on many things. I would like to think that my positivity may have rub off on him, but looking at that photo maybe I came over as a miserable git.
Andy Durman Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Special mention to the couple who have their hands highest and are leading the singing (on the same row as Alp's and I) they travel to every home game from Cornwall. These are die hard Saints fans. Fabulous down to earth people and represent what Saints are all about. I take my hat off to you both.
Andy Durman Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Picture was taken when the players were coming out.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I've met VFTT in real life in a Blackpool chippy. He is not exactly trading on the looks of a Greek god. In fact, I reckon I'm prettier than him. This can't be true.... unless he was the best dressed man in the chip shop?
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 This can't be true.... unless he was the best dressed man in the chip shop? I'm not really one for fashion Tokes, but I reckon my mate was better turned out. I remain as always a walking shambles.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 This can't be true.... unless he was the best dressed man in the chip shop? Nah that was Jilted John

Is may be just me, but every time I see that picture of Alps I see a passing resemblance to Saint Markus.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I'm not really one for fashion Tokes, but I reckon my mate was better turned out. I remain as always a walking shambles. I imagine Turks wa outside of the chip shop heckling you both while himself eating a salad sandwich on rye and doing sit ups?
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I imagine Turks wa outside of the chip shop heckling you both while himself eating a salad sandwich on rye and doing sit ups? I have not met Turks in real life yet, so wouldn't really know. He may have been there, doing everything you suggest. However, my priorities at the time were getting chips and finding a bog.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Why do you eat your chips in the bog? Very strange bahaviour pap!
Alain Perrin Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Why do you eat your chips in the bog? Very strange bahaviour pap! Autocorrect from boy.... Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_276 using Board Express
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Why do you eat your chips in the bog? Very strange bahaviour pap! I didn't. Was busting for a pee and didn't want to urinate on the streets of Blackpool. However, if I'd known the result up-front, might have been more feral.

However, if I'd known the result up-front, might have been more feral. why ever not, if you were a handsome cabby it would be quite legal provided you had one hand on the carriage at all times.
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 why ever not, if you were a handsome cabby it would be quite legal provided you had one hand on the carriage at all times. I know, I know. All I can say is that it'll be one of my lifelong regrets
pap Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Enough that I now like him. I'd pictured a far angrier face. With angry hair. Alps looks like most blokes his age. Nowt to be ashamed of. I look forward to all the "beauty shots" of the rest of the f**king models we seem to have on here ( judging by their posts ).
Pastor Patrón Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Is may be just me, but every time I see that picture of Alps I see a passing resemblance to Saint Markus. Just less yellow.
ItchenRob Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 No "Just back from the game thread" ?! Glad I was out of shot to the far right where some of the London Saints were also sitting. I thought Saints were the better side for most of the game but lacked a cutting edge until Rickie and Mayuka came on. I was also pleased they did not really treat it as a friendly and a credit to both teams for a high tempo match when it was so hot. The security after the game was poor. I could easily have kicked Slaven Bilic up the ar$e when he was posing for photos at the end. Another highlight was getting a "Gracias" from the Saints coach when fielding a ball which Gazza missed during his..... err..... warm up/down at the end. I did think about explaining I play in goal for a 6 a side team in the Brixton Top Corner Championship but decided against it and, being 52, I think my chances of a call up are now slim.

I would like to think that my positivity may have rub off on him, but looking at that photo maybe I came over as a miserable git. No surprise for me, face to face you will normally find common ground, body language plays a huge part in conversation as opposed to web forums where context is easily lost and opinions become quickly entrenched making confrontation almost inevitable ! Personally I think that Alps has conducted himself well during this period (with Saints on his doorstep!) and good on him for that !
Minty Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 No surprise for me, face to face you will normally find common ground, body language plays a huge part in conversation as opposed to web forums where context is easily lost and opinions become quickly entrenched making confrontation almost inevitable ! We all know it, but so many conveniently forget when they get behind a keyboard. Half of the comments made on here would never be made if the discussion was face-to-face.
Gis Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Missed the game after getting stuck in traffic in Karlsruhe on the way down. Gave up trying to make the match just past Salzburg, so we just headed for the mountains instead. Austria is an amazing country, Alps is a very luck bunny to live there. Roll on pre season 2014, I'll leave a bit earlier next year.
