Hmmm, not sure on this one. Looking at the ST T&C’s, on the one hand, it looks like if you default on a payment (such as cancel the DD) they would simply block the ticket giving you access to home games. However, there appears to be a sting in the tail in that it is further covered in Section 13 of the T&C’s (specifically 13.2.18) where defaulting on payment for your ST becomes considered a ‘serious breach’ of the T&C’s. Now, I am no legal expert, but I would think that might mean if /when SR finally see the light and kick RM [Football Genius] out of whatever is left of our club and you decide to come back to the fold you might just find that you are blacklisted for a seriou breach of club rules & regs. As I say that is only my assumption of what might happen but I wouldn’t put it past them!
I have not exactly done an exhaustive search for the ST T&C’s so the link below is to the T&C’s from last season. Anyway, might be best to check out the what if’s before you or Saint 22 cancel your DD’s, that said, I do fully understand your utter frustration with the current situation.

I’m not the only one that saw it, I mentioned it on the ’Dibling’ thread and Grumpy replied:
I saw that look on Dibling's face. Martin and his whole crew need to go.
I think we have already seen Dibling receive a bit of the cold shoulder treatment from RM [Football Genius] having been started on the bench for the two crucial games against v Everton & Wolves when he has the talent to make a real difference against two teams who on paper were both beatable - and indeed both would have been rather than just the one if we had a decent manager… [Post edited 26 Nov 18:03]

What a rip-off - similar drinks prices to the O2 Arena, at least at that venue you get Peter Kay thrown in as the on-site entertainment! At an extra fee obviously… |

5 - The football genus that is Russel Martin giving Dibling a b@llocking on the halfway line during a break in play in the second half, by the look of it, for not doing defensive duties. You should have seen the look on Dibling’s face, fair play to the lad, he argued his case but in the end he just gestured as if to say what’s the point. The final look he gave Martin was as if to say you total and utter pr#ik - and how right Dibling is… |

You are spot on re Martin getting on Dibling’s back - there was a break in play this afternoon with the score at 2-2 and you could see Martin having a go at Dibling face to face by the touch line. You could see Dibling didn’t agree with what he was being told to do and did have his say back but Martin was insistent so it ended with Dibling shrugging and gesturing as if to say what is the point? I reckon at 18 Dibling has a better footballing brain than the oaf Martin and certainly more of an idea how to play the game knowing his own ability. As you have pointed out, a perfect opportunity presented itself near the end to have got him away and quite possibly get the equaliser, that is, if we didn’t have such a numpty for a manager… Because of his love for SFC I thought we might have half a chance of him staying here for a while as he feels so at home here but every week Martin isn’t sacked the less likely that becomes… |

I really miss the Dell days - was talking to a good friend of mine who supports Man U (born & bred in Ancoats) and he was saying he remembered the days when I really looked forward to Man U & Liverpool games at The Dell and he never felt confident going down there as it was such a hostile atmosphere to play in and often difficult to get a result. Three of my top Dell days were victories against Man U (3-2 Keegan era & 6-3 when Keane got sent off) but that 4-1 win against Liverpool was probably the best 90 mins I have seen. On top of the four goals shared by Paul Rideout, Rod Wallace & Matt Le Tiss, both Rideout & Rod W hit the woodwork, Shearer could have had at least one before half time and Grobbelaar made several good saves one of which defied gravity let alone belief! Seriously, 8-1 would not have overly flattered us that day. Those were the days, just look at us now - and for that matter, what the game itself has become 35 years on from that glorious afternoon at The Dell. |

I think he’s at the club but not in RM’s PL 26 - far as I know clubs have to select a PL squad of 26 players max and I don’t think ABK is in the mix. Have no idea if / when you can alter the nominated players or if emergency alterations can be made to cover injuries. I assume the January window must allow changes but not sure otherwise…. i stand to be corrected if that is wrong 😀 |

Thanks Nick, fair comment, I had not considered the reasons you have highlighted and therefore the potential impact had the Club done something along the lines of what Villa did to remember Chris. Having read your post it now makes sense so thanks for enlightening me - just didn’t join the dots up on that one… |

Agreed, so sad to see such a commanding player reduced to what he is today by this cruel condition. Had a bench seat under the West Stand when he was playing for us, it was just past the outside edge of the box so for 45 mins every game we had a ringside seat for a Dave Watson or a Chris Nicholl masterclass every home game. Hard as nails the pair of them but sadly both have had to pay a high price in later life - and I still have not forgiven the SFC hierarchy for failing to acknowledge CN’s passing at the following home game. |

Just go to one of its posts and tap the little icon with the red X in the bottom right hand corner of the post [ignore user] and it consignes all of its drivel to the UI sewers and you no longer have to read them. Did it for this tool and also that other tool Porchy Blue. Anything they post just disappears and any reply, like yours, I can read your reply but the original post just shows in a little box as ‘post from 130 ignored’ Simple, and makes the site Sk8 free for me as I have zero interest in the likes of 130 and anything they have to say. |

Pierce Charles is out of contract at the end of the season and only has a market value of about £150k so if he’s impressing for club & country I’d say he’s right up SR’s street. We could send them Baz on loan 😀 |

Those blocklists sound good, might well give it a go as both my daughter & I have now ditched Twitter completely. Must admit I make use of the ‘Ignore User’ facility on this site for the resident Sk8’s Porchy Blue & 130 Years so I never have to suffer any of their posts as they are consigned to virtual sewers than run below the website 🤢 |

Agreed ST - that’s exactly what I was thinking as I read your previous post and GRIM’s reply. The Liverpool lap-dogs within the media went into meltdown at the time and I half expected the Witchfinder General to rock up at Goodisom Park with a hanging party in tow. Pickford does for you now what Le Tiss did for us back in the day. Long may he stay at EFC & as England’s No.1 |

Reply | Ankersen's propaganda
at 20:50 12 Nov 2024
Good friend of mine works at Brentford, his evaluation of Ankersen’s time at BFC is as follows:
- Had very little to do with any success Brentford achieved
- Was very good at taking the credit for ideas put forward by other people that proved to be good ideas
- Was even better at taking the credit for the achievements of others when those achievements were successful
- There were high fives all round when he moved on to Saints, quite a few celebration drinks were enjoyed in the Fullers pub that used to stand on one corner of Griffin Park
- Nobody misses him and things run much better now he has gone
- He was forever looking at himself in the mirror and adjusting his coiffured wire wool hair
My mate’s final summary of him is: Total narcissist, if he had his head any further up his backside he’d be in grave danger of impersonating the Oozlum Bird - you would have to know your Carry On films to fully understand that reference 😀 I had to ask - in Carry On Up The Jungle the Oozlum Bird sticks its head so far up its own backside it disappears!
So there you have it, from someone that had the misfortune of working at BFC whilst he was there - seems nobody has a good word to say about him, off the record at least…
His final observation was he feels genuinely sorry that we are having to put up with him. |
