Agreed, about 5 points should do it.

6 would be more appropriate

Any chance you could make it about 30?

 

[Robshep]

A points deduction is the only fair punishment in such circumstances...

And 12 points deducted for Morecambe for having a player sent off and banned for it, not accused.

It's from 2019/2020 by the look of things.

We are bottom, below Macclesfield!

Not sure how we've ranked so highly. Engagement has been pretty decent during the pandemic but this survey is for the 19/20 season. Only a few years ago we were ranked in the bottom few by the Football Supporters' Federation for most liked owners with the likes of Blackpool (previous owners), Blackburn and Coventry and there haven't been any significant changes since then.

Salford? But I'm told GNev is really in touch with the fans.

Giggs is bound to have touched a few if they're half fit women.

That can't be right!! salford got no fans to be in touch with.

 

[Robshep]

He ignored them all when they were getting into their minibus for an away game.

Giggs has stopped all that messing about with women now as he has run out of Brothers.

 

[PaulHaddock]

We finished 12th!!! That list is a shambles.

 

[Devon_Lad]

Given how most on here despise me for being a Tory, please excuse my gleeful chuckle today. Hopefully Hartlepool are promoted this season now

Tranmere Rovers have been taking a strong stance against gambling associations with football for a long time and have refused sponsorship from betting companies. They did this from a moral viewpoint and did not feel the need to go running to the press for publicity purposes. Thats why Dale Vince is not liked. If eating veal got you liked he would kill a young cow live on tv and eat it raw.

 

[Si Robin]

You can criticise Vince for a lot - but I don't think you can go that far with him.

Refusing sponsorship is all well and good, but it doesn't promote the actual issue with gambling advertisements. I actually applaud Vince for this stance.

I don't think anything will come of it though to be fair.

You have had Managers sacked players suspended............And the 1964 cheating scandal
No wonder

You dont seem to say that your team paid another teams player to cheat..........................should have been kicked out the league

We have refused to allow betting in the stadium. We have refused to allow sponsorship we have control over in the stadium.
We have set up a counselling service for people with gambling problems
All of these and more have cost the club money.
We did not go to the media telling them how great we are for doing it.
We just did it because it was felt to be the right thing to do.

Repeating what another person has said is called hearsay and is inadmissable in a court of law. There was no evidence of this other than his claim.
Would you like it if somebody started accusing you of something because they felt like deflecting blame away from themselves.
Nothing happened to Tranmere Rovers because there was no evidence.
Ronnie Moore was indeed sacked, because the club did not tolerate his actions. You lose that one with your own words.
The players suspended were found not guilty and left soon after.. Another defeat.
We pay our bills and do not flirt with bankruptcy every 3 years though so whatever incorrect dirt you want to shovel up doesn't get you anywhere near to the moral high ground.
You will be in adminstration before you are in the PL because you expect it and the club will overspend to keep you all quiet.

Raising the issue is taking action too. DV is not really my sort of campaigner but you're wrong about him on this one.

Dont think you have kept up with developments at Bolton......Billionaires have been meeting this past week with Bolton chairwoman Sharon Brittain
The Board have made 3 key additions in the last couple of months

The club is being run correctly......hence these people want to get involved

LOL sure.... Free dinner innit.

He claimed to be the first one to take a stand against it. He is a liar therefore he is seeking to gain from it.

Maybe he's just a bit of an egotist and mistaken; he can hardly be blamed for missing your efforts if you didn't tell anyone.

It is on the Man Marking Podcast from September 2020. Give it a listen because its almost word for word what swampy said 8 months later.
Not surprised the Bolton idiot liked your post because 50% of his posts are repeats of what others say, but with primary school level spelling and grammar.

 

[Si Robin]

You seem very ott on this.

There's more than one way to skin a cat. Whether he's egotistical or not, the point he's making is a good one and he should be supported.
