The Football League Thread - Part II

Unfortunately the Football League season ends a week before the Premier League season.

 

So they could all come and help us cheer on Saints against Man U then?

 

YTes, the very same rule that rendered your deduction completely irrelevant.

 

Well that's hardly our fault.

 

Oh yes, I forgot. Nothing is Pompey's fault, is it? It's always someone else.

 

Poor old Pompey.

FFS when am I going to be able to stop saying that?

 

Jesus. Pompey fans, how deluded do you guys get? http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=543661

 

Please explain to me how that rule is possibly Portsmouth's fault.

Newflash: Portsmouth are not the only team to have gone into admin before the deadline and ended up getting a points deduction that ends up not making a difference to to whether a club is relegated or not, but I suppose your bitterness is so all consuming that it blinds you to the reality of the situation.

 

We're all ears.

 

It turns out that it doesn't make any difference....we are top ten premiership and Pompey are struggling. To quote Spock....a difference that makes no difference is not a difference.

 

Que?

 

You said Portsmouth aren't the only club to be given special treatment by the Football league and let off with the deduction the following season, when it actually makes a difference. Let us hear them then Manuel.

 

I'm beginning to read little snippets that Pompey's Ricihie Barker has been sacked. Is this true..? Bit silly at this stage, I feel, if true.

 

Might be doing a Leeds and reinstate him?

 

Farnborough, Crystal Palace, Darlington, etc. How many times do I have to say, points deductions come into affect the season a club goes into administration UNLESS it is after a certain date (around the end of March-ish) when it carries over. Whether it's Portsmouth or anyone else is irrelevant. Where they finish is irrelevant.

Also, that was French, not Spanish.

 

I thought it was spanish. The whole point of the points deduction for going into administration was as a punishment. There is none when you are relegated already. Anyway, it's like flogging a dead horse with you people, because Portsmouth will always be the victim in your eyes.

 

And Portsmouth will always be the villain in yours.

That dastardly Portsmouth

Richie Barker joined MK Dons as an assistant.

 

Not true, just want an even playing field.

 

Not at all. The closest comparison I can think of at this point is that if Southampton FC is Dame Edna Everage, then Portsmouth FC is Madge Allsop.
