Horsetan Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 After Brighton's win over a faltering/failing Arsenal we've now got 34 points and are top half with 9 games to go. Never in my wildest dreams..................... I shall be rubbing my senior colleague's nose in it. Again. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 They could make a documentary about it: Groundhog Day We have Groundhog Day every home game at the King Power at the moment - 1-1, 1-1,1-1, but actually getting slightly worse with each repetition. Last weekend we had to rely on a bit of last gasp Mahrez magic to get a draw in the 7th minute of added time. Thank you Mr Begovic for your time wasting..........

Ohmisterporter Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The bailiffs are in at Blackpool today. Hopefully this will end the Oyston reign at the club. If it ends with the club in administration with points deducted and dropping one league down, most of the fans will accept that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that conviction was in the UK, it should have disqualified him, the same as Owen Oyston's disqualified him. But let's not get on to alleged running the club by proxy (his son was the owner, no?)

Ohmisterporter Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Belokon has a conviction for a financial crime in Estonia, or Latvia, or wherever his bank was. If that conviction was in the UK, it should have disqualified him, the same as Owen Oyston's disqualified him. But let's not get on to alleged running the club by proxy (his son was the owner, no?) The running of football, from top to bottom, is very murky indeed! Not quite; Belokon was convicted in his absence and without a trial in Kyrgyzstan. No administration outside that country recognises that conviction. More complete details are in a Blackpool Gazette story if I can find it. The club's present majority owner Owen Oyston has a conviction for rape of a young girl but the EFL says does not disbar him from club ownership because they set the date for ownership suitability to start after OO had completed his sentence. I wonder how many clubs have owners who are squeaky clean?

Hobby Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Quite! I always had my doubts about cycling and athletics, now I just can't be bothered with either... It was interesting watching the Roger Bannister footage of his sub 4 minute mile, he looked and behaved like I did when I'd run a race as fast as I could, these days they seem to recover in milliseconds and do a lap of honour, I certainly couldn't have done that, I was usually in a heap on the ground recovering like he was! Must try some of these drugs they use for my asthma, though, could do with feeling like Superman for a while! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The running of football, from top to bottom, is very murky indeed! none moreso than the shenanagins of messrs Corney and co at boundary park who have bled the club dry leaving a club who owned thier stadium and 67 acres of surrounding land with sportsbar and sports center in 2003 to a club that owns three of the four stands only has revenue from the fourth on matchday or when they "rent"it from the owners the bar and sports center gone replaced by houses the car park that earned money from hospital parking reduced to a quarter of its size the revenue from which does not go to the club .club shop sold of sports direct now full of ashleys cheap tat and closed more than its open .fans raise funds to replace broken scoreboard which are used to buy electronic perimiter hoardings guess who owns them and now creams off the profit ?.ground naming rights sold of yhe sports direct for in a deal that would give us a top six budget yet sees the annual influx of journeymen and nobodys and our usual march on 17th in league one .then came light at the end of the tunnel with Abdull Lemsagams "takeover " of ghe club which is now being found to be a limited investment and a vehicle for him to bring in "talent" that he used to manage as a football agent it just gets murkier and murkier .

Horsetan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 as Jamie Carragher now knows. Interestingly, nothing seems to have been been said about the driver who got him on film using his mobile camera whilst at the wheel. Both vehicles are moving alongside each other.
