Is the honest, right answer I'd expect from you.

Although he wasn't sports minister in 1985, Colin Moynihan was in 1988 when England had that riot in Dusseldorf a riot involving 5000 people which lasted 8 hours, the German authorities ALL to a man said the trouble was instigated and largely caused by the krauts and the dutch, yet Moynihan wanted England thrown out of the tournament and out of Italia 90 because of it. They have always wanted to demonise football fans as scum of the earth. HMHM you're completely right in what you say, and in a country which has told the whole world for centuries, we are the last bastion in fairness, in openness, and anti-propganda ethics, then what Thatcher did with Hillsborough, The Miners Strike and other occurances of the time, manipulating the media as part of this, was absolutely no different to how the much scolded Soviet Union media function "TASS" was managed by the polit bureau and KGB. Unfortunately, Moynihan attended a Millwall v NUFC game where he witnessed a big window at the Den get smashed by supporters he stressed were not Millwall fans but NUFC supporters. You're spot on regarding his comments about the trouble in Germany, he and his party wanted us out of it, in fact they were pissed off the UEFA ban on English clubs didn't include the national side. Luton's chairman was a Tory MP so no surprise that the crawling bastard had his club ban away fans and introduce an ID card to get in. The same MP later called anyone on the dole a 'scrounger'.

NUFC, proud sponsors of SportsDirect.com I honestly wouldn't give the man the steam off my shit let alone a single penny more.

What a wanker, basically. Everytime Llambias opens his trap the 'poor Mike' patter is usually bound to follow, top businessman? Like you say, If Marks and Spencer has a bad year and gets bad press and customer complaints the last thing their PR man will do will be to take a hissy fit at reporters and their customers about it.

Electric fences at Stamford Bridge for fuck sake. Good job there wasn't a disaster there then, eh? What would health and safety say about that?

jawD reminiscing about his LSD days again?

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/co...icle800222.html I know a few will read this and not really give a fuck and maybe some will even think, 'Scousers moaning again', (or maybe I'm being harsh on some of TT's posters), anyway, when it comes down to football and Thatchers government then I always have an interest in reading about anything like this as when I was a young'un and going to games you quite often were treated like shit and having seen and read up on the way the Miners were battered by the Police and then demonised by Maggies biggest backer, (Murdoch and all his Editors, Mckenzie etc), then I think if there's something, somewhere, that can expose her party for what they were then I'm all for it. Anybody who's ever heard Bernard Ingham, (who was basically her go-between to the media), will be under no doubt that the 'pissing on the dead' and the generalisations that it was an unruly mob who caused all of the deaths would have been encouraged and welcomed by many of Thatchers Toadies in her party and acted on by the likes of Mckenzie. When a Police force can stand and look on as people were clearly in serious trouble and, lets be honest, do fuck all at first, then it's about time it was officially recognised and it all stems from the contempt the football supporter was held in by her and her party. (Moynihan, her sports minister was great, he condemned any fan on a pitch for whatever reason, then ran on the pitch at a hockey game when GB won a medal at the Olympics). Anyway, as usual I ramble on and my patter wanders like a drunken man making his way home, but these bastards hated the working class and I hope any extra evidence that shows the Governments lack of care to get to the real reason and pinpoint those who could've done more to avert innocent deaths comes about.

That's a great gesture by him.

Should the thread title not be, 'Mackem in pieces'?

I was thinking that as well.

I wouldn't say J20 has a bee in his bonnet he just didn't believe Salty was genuine, which is fair point given his chosen avatar tbf. On a different matter, I thought J69's avatar change was comic genius... Alex's too. Didn't even realise Alex's! Neither of them hold a candle to mine though. Aye not bad.

Craig he's not any ordinary poster, he's come off Newcastle-Online for racism, it's like when Lee Hughes signed for Notts County this. Well after hearing the reason why Paddocklad was banned from N-O I wouldn't be too quick to jump to any conclusions over his dismissal just yet!

Have to say, there's a fair bit of suspicion over who is actually who which is quite funny at times but a bit strange.

Really?

From what I can see, auld Salty balls is a welcome edition so far. He's even taking the photo stuff in good humour. There's been some good craic so far between him and others although not sure why J69 seems to have a bit of a bee in his bonnet?

No they just hanged him. His arse stayed intact.

There was IIRC five of them and they were all sacked but two got their jobs back on appeal. I wasn't there at the time but the tale is 100% genuine. (Thats actual 100% as opposed to a 'Pardew' 100%)

One of the big regrets of my working life is I've never seen any massive bust ups at work that haven't involved me. Not even a raised hand. It was a year or two before my time, but a couple of blokes got sacked for hanging a 'darky' where I once worked. It was apparently a joke that got out of hand. What?!?!?!??! Alabama style???!?!? Yep! Was a carry on with an Asian who worked there as they were all having a joke about the KKK apparently, the Asian lad as well, but I think drink was involved, well it would've been as almost everyone drank at work then, anyway, it went to far, they put some rope round his neck, kicked away the Broon Ale crate he was standing on and the lad didn't see the funny side anymore.

Some Toady at the club with a job he has to try and justify, probably suggested it and Mike will have approved it. (He might have gave a wry grin as he did so but that would just be speculation on my part.)

Dwayne Dibley. Damien Duff How'd I not get Duff? Mind, that doesn't say much for Duff's influence does it? And let's not forget Daniel Dichio I thought it was just footballers?

This. F*cking hell man, it's a preview aimed at a small number of people who we considered for UAT testing. Eventually the upgrade will go live so you'll all get to see it! Getting precious because you think you're missing out on something others are getting in this instance is ridiculous Go fuck yourself you prick! Where was my invite?

What can you say? I didn't renew as I was one of the displaced L7'ers and was just going to go as and when but I decided I'd had enough of being taken for a mug so won't even go to the odd game, and the more I see of this regime cheapening a proud football club the more I feel vindicated. It's not one event that they've pulled it's just an accumulation of shit decisions, (most of which were completely unnecessary), from the regime that mean I'll never go back unless I see drastic signs that the owner and his lickspittle mate have started to change for the better. That's pretty shit that they can have this effect on me and some others but at the end of the day I think they can count themselves very fortunate more haven't jacked it in. They'd have been strung up in the past for a quarter of the stunts they've pulled.
