I was one of the organisers of the anti-Thompson protests, TK. There may have been a group called P.O.R.T. but they certainly weren't in charge. In fact, I don't even remember them. It was the LSA and Dave Thomas who led the way.
The concern with Thompson was not just, as Gary says, that he was failing to invest but that he was actively asset-stripping the club and making way to recover his money and depart himself, leaving us with a weakened team and club. Rightly or wrongly, there were concerns about the long-term future of the club, not just the short-term league position.
I was in favour of the protests at the time because it's what (most of) the fans wanted. Looking back, I've often said on here that I'm no longer so sure, but we have no way of knowing what would have happened had Thompson been allowed to continue unopposed.
Agreed. I've shared more interesting/funny Bluesky posts to whatsapp friends in the past week than I did Twitter posts in the preceding months. Music, footy, art, laughs...Bluesky is currently doing a great job reaching me and my friends. I hope it lasts.
Meanwhile, just on case there's anyone out there that I haven't tried to sell 'Northern Exposure' to, I will now. Re-watching it for the umpteenth time and it's just glorious.
Coming to a dodgy box/site near you. In my case it's bflix.
I thought England's B Team were excellent. Included a few players I'd never heard of and were still streets ahead of Ireland, who were much improved without showing much ambition.
I turned off at half-time. I hate VAR games and if VAR's not going to give the penalty on Ferguson by Guehi, or even review it, then there's no point at all in its existence. And there's certainly no point in me wasting my time watching.
Took the dog for a walk, channeling my inner Roy Keane.
