Awful football. Didn’t he see the left winger free just 8 yards to his left? All that training and development wasted. Oh well, another one that won’t make it with us.

The very least he could have done was to pass it politely to the goalkeeper. That’s the way to become a Southampton striker!

As far as I can tell, this has the only response from our Club. i.e. "The thoughts of all of us at Southampton Football Club remain with our colleagues at Leicester, the Srivaddhanaprabha family and everyone affected by the tragic incident". I was expecting some kind of public response from our own owners, but no doubt like everything else they do these days, they responded in private?
Perhaps I am too cynical? To me, the lack of any communication is beginning to damage the relationship between the fan base and those at the top beyond repair.

The public response is from SFC. There may well have been private messages....not everyone does things in the full glare of publicity....almost like wanting a public pat on the back for doing so. Has every single owner in the EPL posted a message?
Not getting at you personally, but so many people share everything on line or FB and then think that is the only way to behave. And if you do post commiserations for some sad event or even congratulations for a happy event, you may very well be criticised for not saying enough, not being sincere, or for some completely hidden meaning that no one else can see.
Rant over.
I am sure that when the clubs agreed to postpone tonight's fixture.......condolences were passed privately.
I agree up to a point, but unless you accessed the match postponement messages, you may not have seen the message itself, apart from the Daily Echo I haven't seen it posted anywhere else. At least it is quietly respectful and not over the top, as in other areas of the Press.
Saints strikers yet to kick a ball in training...:

I think Saints should not keep tormenting us with the idea that Saints strikers can actually score goals. 
Maybe if he still lives in Portsmouth but if he doesn't live there then there is no reason why he can't.

This is a subscription site, if you can't access it, it is a story that says at least one professional football club is under investigation for money laundering,
The first comment about it says "Everyone at Southampton is hoping it's Gao, the sooner we get rid of this mercenary scumbagg the better"
The last paragraph of the article says "The National Crime Agency said: “We have not charged any professional football clubs with money-laundering, and none is in the court process.”.
I think some need to be careful about what they say about it, the lawyers could have a field day.

Lee Mason is based in Greater Manchester which makes it even more puzzling that he can Referee a game involving his local teams.
