Pathetic is one word, lack of evidence is another (Partridgeism). I mean "Dog Bitten By Snake." Sensationalism at its finest, I'm just surprised that it wasn't a Jihady snake, maybe it will be when The Mail get hold of it? And what evidence do the local rag have for this viscous attack - a (home made) flyer / poster stuck to a defenceless tree. Hmmm guilty as charged, send the snake down, case closed. Come on Ben Green (author of said tripe), time to up your game son. No eye witness statements, no mention of the dog's or snake's well being after the alleged altercation and certainly no hospital / veterinary records. Evidence Benny boy??? Indeed the snake is, in Ben's mind without all reasonable doubt an Adder and the dog is most definitely a German. Well I for one am calling Blades bias on this one...again. Whoosh.

someone in my head Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 1 hour ago, Ian said: Whilst I don't think it's the ,it's eloquently written letter stop all this whinging about him only getting it published because he's an ex MP or a Lord....that's just rubbish......how many of you saying that have actually taken the trouble to do them same and found it not published......I wrote an open letter to Dave Allen a few years back and without a title or being a member of parliament it was published Well firstly, I wasn't whinging; it was an observational comment. I have written to papers in the past; some were published some not and that's fine, it is the editor's prerogative. With a public figure it is harder for an editor to resist publication and papers often give such letters a higher billing than they deserve. I have nothing against David Blunkett, or any other celebrity fan, but they have to be careful about how they use their celebrity, especially if they are professing to talk on behalf of other fans. Again, not a whinge, just a point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bad politician so why should anybody, let alone Carlos, listen to what he has to say. Very arrogant IMO. Maybe because he's right.

He was at Center Parcs yesterday, Sherwood forest, don't know if he was on his last day of the weekend break or the first of the 5 day one, haven't seen him since but he obviously has plenty of time to think things through.

TheRedanator Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) I'm not trying to take the wee wee with this comment, but how exactly do blind people experience a football match. Paying £40+ to listen to crowd noises seems a bit weird. Do they have like a helper sat next to them describing the action or listen on the radio? Disallowed goals must be extremely surreal for them and penalty shoot outs even worse Edited May 30, 2017 by TheRedanator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Why the overaction? Some retired MP has sent a letter to his local paper and they had the cheek to publish it. The letter is hardly ground breaking you can read much them same on OT every day. I don't happen to agree with much of what he says but he's every right to say it, and I can't get worked up over The Star publishing it, it's what papers do. Can just imagine the editor saying, 'Oh we won't print this in case we upset some sensitive poster on OT'. Get a grip its just another fan getting it off his chest.

hugh Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Don't want to come over as an apologist (heaven forbid!) but, <cough>... Represented the club as it's MP for many many years Hon President of Wednesdayite Fan longer than most people have been on this earth Heavily involved with the HMRC issue prior to Milan buying the club Worked with Milan during his tenure as owner Supported the community side of SWFC for many years You're right about publishing it unfairly, but he's a prominent figure in the area, and his credentials aren't that bad. As for listening, he uses the local feed all visually disabled people can use within the stadium, supported by the hospital radio team. Or he's been known to use whoever is sitting next to him (or behind!) to commentate. The penalties must have been murder but at least you can tell straight away if it went in or not!

agentwalker Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Forget the man and the way it's been published, end of the day he's right with most of what's written. What impact it'll have to cc ? Nothing at all I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
