They're talking abut there being three teams involved, th eoriginal Wimbledon, and the AFC and Franchise that was born from them. Now is it me, or are they missing what must be the key bigger issue, that of Franchise buying a league place instead of earning it in their own right. If Winkleman wanted a club in Milton Keynes, he he should have invested in the Club that was already there. You should NEVER be able to buy a league position THAT for me is what means I'll never accept Milton Keynes as a legitimate football club.
'The MK Dons' is such a naff name. Is there a 'The' in there? Anyway, yes, agree. Sadly, they are clearly a better team at the moment and will beat Wimbledon I think. You can't just steal a club's history! But they tried.
Surely it's two clubs they've ****ed? Wimbledon and the true team in Milton Keynes? Wimbledon were dying anyway, but the football authorities should never have allowed the league right to be franchised as it was. It's against the sporting principles, history and ethos of football.
Oh stop being so narrow minded. 3 clubs were messed up by your flawed logic? Why do you never think about the one that got kicked out of the ground that Wimbledon now call their home?? I'd honestly love someone to explain to me how Wimbledon was ****ed by Pete W, when if he hadn't done what he did, Wimbledon would have just disappeared totally. I'd also love to know why Wimbledon, the new one, because the old one died pretty much, not starting at the very bottom, and doing it "Properly" isn't an issue for ya? Stop painting Wimbledon as the victims here, its wrong.
Read again, I couldn't give a toss about Wimbledon, and said they were dying anyway. My point quite clearly, is that clubs should EARN not BUY their league position. Milton Keynes existed as a non-league club, THEY should have been the ones invested in and Wimbledons place taken up by an extra club coming in from the Conference.
You and City Agro have an unparrelled ability to look like an even bigger **** with every new post. Most impressive.
Think you must need some new glasses then old mate. (You're a bit old for this unsolicited confrontational keyboard warrior stuff.)
Compare the calm way that was dealt with compared to the hysteria it would have caused in the KC, stewards running around like headless chickens, police filming the home set of fans who are not invading the pitch, months of studying videos etc with no arrests of away fans, naturally, and, no doubt a few City fans ending up with banning orders for some reason or other to show a police presence is necessary and kid people they were doing something to justify the fortune that they charge City for their "services".
A few teenagers running on excitedly is surely not worthy of an FA enquiry or fine. Unless of course you work for ITV.
He lives his old glory days on here, though of course online hooliganism and bullying isn't quite the same but sat at his keyboard in his piss soaked pants, he doesn't really know. I've missed his made up **** tbh, the fantasy world he lives in really is funny. Go on OLM tell us another one of your "Nick said to me..." stories. Pure gold. DMD (who is capable of a discussion at least), what's the difference between what you're raging about and say Man City? They've quite clearly bought their position, and last seasons title, and at the cost of pushing up prices for everyone else you could argue, whereas the happenings at MK affected noone else at all.
Ah dont worry about that, he doesn't like me since I called him out on a couple of lies he told on here, and I dared to defend the Allams when they got rid of St Nick too. He's all hot air and bluster, and one of those people that feels good about posting on an online forum. He thinks Im a ****, I pity him. Oh and never forget, he supports the club more than anyone.
The emotive language doesn't help you to come over as credible, I'm commenting, not 'raging'. There's a clear, obvious and distinct difference in that for Man City the money was pumped into an existing club in its traditional area. For MKDons, having failed to buy the golden share of several other Clubs,Winklemann (who according to some helped engineer the demise) bought Wimbledon with the sole aim of buying a place in the league for an area with no link to the heart of the club when he could have invested in the existing local team and done things in the same way AFC did. They've stolen the place from Conference clubs that earned the right to the opportunity. On his interview before todays game, Winklemann freely admits he got it wrong because, unlike football fans, he had no idea of the history and culture associated with football.
Who said it was? I didn't. If you read my post I was comparing how this minor incident, which was calmly resolved would have been handled at the KC. Accompanied by the HDM acting as if it had been major civill disorder and a threat to life and limb with mothers and children cowering in terror.
I'm no fan of the Stewards - some of them are dicks of the highest order - but can we stop pretending that it's always worse at Hull City? It wouldn't have been blown out of all proportion - because EXACTLY the same thing has happened at the KC, and it was handled in exactly the same way, with no bans, and no hysteria. 14th May 2008. Hull City 4-1 Watford.
