Guest revkev Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 That's dreadful. I'm as big a football fan as the rest, but the attack on the Chairman is just too much. In the end it's a game, it is recreation, not warfare. Sometimes fans of all clubs need to put things into perspective and realise that even though their club (yes, even ) might be having a tough time there are more important things in life.God help us.
