    If you were selling a 50 grand house you wouldn't go off and leave potential buyers sitting there alone. Putting his polo first makes me wonder how serious is the sale talk.

    If true they should be speaking to their PFA rep. Cheeky ****s.

    being going on ("business genius" (c) ) for a few years - friend's son played in juniors who at one point got free tickets - then started charging them ... this & 'free' tickets for other staff ... all 'freebies' have been eroded over the last few years (see toiletgate when they got rid of their own cleaners /groundstaff etc ...)

    I wouldn't expect you to defend it, I'd expect you to say they should just pay it and enjoy the game like the 'true fans'...

    Things like this have come up a few times over the years, but until recently there was always a desire to sweep it under the carpet. The scouting thing Carmine mentioned was brought up years ago and at the time some people said too right etc etc.

    Anyway it's good that things are finally being scrutinised properly now rather than just being excused because he's put a lot of money in you know.

    Quite by chance I became a little ITK yesterday
    It actually means it is very serious
    If I was selling a 50 grand house I would probably make sure my surly teenage son wasn't hanging around his bedroom blaring out depressing emo music while I was showing potential buyers around

    Not true. You've made the mistake of reading & believing what other people say I've said. My beef has been with the so-called called "boycotters" who claim to have made the choice not to go and support the team. I don't believe that any real fan would make such a choice.

    Unless you think there are a lot of liars on this board, you're obviously wrong.

    And you are wrong.

    Enemy scouts have to pay? No problem.
    Our own U21's? Hmm is it part of a toughening up programme for the real world?
    Moving them from sat in prime seats near the dug outs? No problem with that.

    Can't justify that fella, it is getting beyond ridiculous now. I must admit.

    I presumed that junior players would be expected to watch the first team in action, not be charged to do so.

    So what happens when we're the 'enemy' and want to scout the oppo? I'd hope that if we charged clubs then they'll charge us and in that eventuality there's zero point to charging cos it'll just even itself out.

    Everything I say is untrue.








    Including that statement.



    The Liar's Paradox.



    Get out of that you argumentative bastards, you!

    So you would let 20 youth players sat in West Stand for free right next to the dugouts?

    Are you serious? This forum, Twitter, Facebook and the like are beset with liars and exaggerators. The anonymity guarantees it. If you believe everything you read that's sad!
