Maesknoll Red's fine.

He lives on a very nice little tump!

 

An Iron Age fort, lets get it right.  Iron Age living is the way to go.....

Don't worry LP I shall be picking up my prescription this afternoon and normal service will be resumed asap.

Thanks to all of you for at least debating the idea which is a courtesy I wouldn't have got on the Rovers forum.

And a special word to Maesknoll Red who, with the prospect of hostilities breaking out between Rovers supporters and our owners, I shall be recommending as a Middle East peace envoy. 

How very dare you!  I am aghast that you would mention my name in that role, it has been sullied by the grinning chimp Blair and I  am deeply offended.  In fact, thinking on it, the false grin, the smarmy charm, the lining of his own pockets - Blair would make an excellent addition to the board of the sags........

Geoff Dunford RIP posts moved to stand alone thread, as this one is for ripping the piss out of the sags.

The more I hear and read about Wael the more I'm convinced he's a con-artist in the same mould as that Brookes Mileson weirdo who apparently "bankrolled" Gretna to the SPL, then suddenly "stopped pumping money in" (If he ever actually had any) causing them to fold.

 

Is that really fair on Mileson, my understanding was that he fell ill and died, his family weren’t in the least interested in spending their inheritance on a football club, hence the financial issues.  At least that’s the way I remember reading about it when it happened.

Unless a wealthy owner has put a trust fund/financial arrangements  in place or his heirs are equally as keen, then it could happen to any small club - could Billericay Town suffer a similar fate if their owner died?

Asset stripping then?

Do they have any.....  The only possible outcome for cash generation is converting land / stadium to housing.

Having read another of his posts, he claimed to earn a good wage and work 60 hours a week.

I'm sure earlier in this thread someone posted details from companies house that suggested his second hand grot device shop was hardly successful.

Sounds like HRMC should have a poke round, cash in hand PC repairs.....

I'm afraid I'm going back 30, how time flies. At least I know where to avoid now.

And me, but looking at the before and after pics, you can see the gas influence, from thriving South Bristol community pub, to rundown shithole....

They are an exaggerated parody of themselves.....

Yes, he does.

"Ooooh, would you look at the hooves on that!"

Can’t help but think he needs to spend more time on forearms and leg day, than loads of bicep and tricep work.

If the poster of that isn’t in a psychiatric institution, they should be, what a deluded, disturbed saghead.

That profile is pretty bland, short on experience and achievement, which is plainly obvious by the fact he has ended up at ragbag rovers, rather than Man Utd.

Now saying “fragile” Stokes has apologised to the ECB.  I thought he looked a little unsteady on his feet, but far from fragile.......

I do have a degree of sympathy, the other guy clearly tries to bottle the third person with Hales and Stokes, can see why he saw the red mist and wanted to batter him

If that’s the case, then I also have a degree of sympathy and am glad there was no CCTV or camera phones when I was a regular in town........

Now video has emerged showing Stokes battering someone, he may not be going to the ashes......

How I miss my Sunday morning football,those photos have got me feeling quite nostalgic.

If only it had scratch and smell - deep heat, stale alcohol breath, sweat, rank farts, damp and mould aroma and all those smells strong enough to stay put even with an icy blast through the far from draught proof changing rooms..............  

I thought the 114-114 scorecard was probably right, neither did enough to win, but as one was defending, I guess he did enough not to lose his belt either.

This could be a blow...

I see the lovely ' family club' up the road had another five fans thrown out on Saturday. One for alleged racist comment towards a Walsall player, three for consuming drugs and one for being drunk and incapable !!

Source eve post ! 

The racist comment fan must be a moron, but I can understand the drunk - there have been times over the years that's it's been difficult, if not impossible to watch City sober, it must be tenfold having to go to the tented dump and watch them..... and taking drugs, I wouldn't get too excited about it, I doubt 100% of our fans would test clear on a match day......

I am not a fan of the female commentators, TMS  and the football, it's not their knowledge or style, it's the squawking when they get excited, too high pitched and the exaggerated enthusiasm that goes on just a little too long.

Johnners was fantastic, I fear the new wave BBC will ensure that even TMS has to be dragged kicking and screaming into the the 21st century, which is a shame.  I think Tuffers will become the new 'old character' but the wonderful, old world irrelevance and observational chatter on a wide range of subjects will suffer.

Quite emotional moment seeing Blowers last commentary. 

Yep, Tuffers was a bit overcome by the sound of it, he got a hell of a send off from his TMS team, the crowd and the team.
