Have we ever beaten the Skates before with 10 men?
at 16:04 12 Oct 2026

Clive f*cking Thomas the sheep shagger from Tonypandy ...WAC..

Back then, we denizens of the Milton Road End would buy a programme and take up our position.

First order of business was to check the team sheet and the Ref...If Jimmy Melia was playing and Thomas was the ref we knew our chances of winning were in the same category as the chance we could get to jiggle Raquel Welch's boobs.

Should break into the charts with a bullet next week.

I too love Bree's contributions but would also say that on Saturday his attacking instinct was occasionally leaving acres of space behind him which Pompey nearly capitalised on a couple of times in the first half. Need mobile CB's to cover that.

Sky picked out a few Pompey fans from central casting...you know the look...

25 year old laceless hobnail boots.
Hand me down canvass trousers with clear evidence that the wearer had recently soiled themselves.
String vest with holes containing some remnants of the previous day's tasty roast squirrel dinner.
Teeth ( optional )
Long greasy unkempt hair and a wispy beard.

Some of their male supporters looked even worse.

Eckert's programme notes were right on the ball.

He said the key would be to embrace the pressure of a derby, the build up, the intensity and the passion of a support desperately wanting a win.

However he said that all that had to be channelled into a high tempo physical performance that was controlled by a cool head.

Looked like one or two of the boys hadn't read the notes. Luckily most had.

Great win but one regret is that Pompey were so piss-poor that I think we could have cleaned their clock with eleven on the pitch.

Well said sir !

I would happily support a bill put before the disciplinary committee of the Forum that would pass into the constitution that any member mentioning Spygate be summarily ejected from said Forum for 6 weeks, suspended for 6 months.

In Spanish pedo phiole translates as" fart bottle"'

Completely irrelevant?..perhaps, but one Local pub quiz night, that kind of knowledge might be the difference between winning and looking like a loser .

As John McEnroe said "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser"

Meanwhile Mr Jelly dines out on regurgitated gossip, rumour, innuendo and unsubstantiated accusations, none of which as far as I can recall, ended in indictments let alone guilty verdicts.

I learnt one thing though...a paedophile's favourite sport is hang gliding...who knew...next time I am out with the grandchildren and a hang glider drifts over the hill I will usher them into the car and phuq off home a bit sharpish.

A pretty sensible analysis.

Eckert was accused of breaching the new law i.e. cheating and he promptly admitted his guilt...so far, so bad.

The early admission and the fact that this is a trial run of the punishment level applicable to said breach will probably count in his favour but.....

Lost a good'un there.

Very funny lady, great broadcaster and tireless worker for charity including Childline, support for loneliness among the elderly and of course was prominent, as others have already said, in the assisted dying debate.

Also responsible for one of the most iconic comedy moments of the 70's.....The talking dog that said " sausages " on That's Life...priceless...RIP.

Surely it's inconceivable that the decision and the appeal can be conducted in secret.
Would be a first for me.

Eckert's problem is that the EFL handed down the decision to eject us from the play-offs. Eckert was not punished at that time. It's worth remembering that our understandable anger should be tempered by the fact that we still had a game to play to reach the promised land.

The EFL is a direct subsidiary of the FA and it the EFL will always defer to them on individual punishments.

My long winded point is that I don't think the FA will take the club's punishment in mitigation when dealing with Eckert. He violated whatever law it is and the kangaroo court will have their day in the sun.

Who Would Be An Everton Fan

Neither were Ball. Kendall or Harvey for that matter.

Funnily enough I was in Highbury that day but not at Highbury on account that I lived in a flat close by. Along with a couple of Saints mates and 400 neanderthal Gooners we gathered in the local battle cruiser to suffer the pain and anguish.

42 years have surely numbed that....or maybe not

I can safely say that I could not be classified as an Everton fan.

However I did have the distinct pleasure of being at a couple of their games when Ball, Kendall and Harvey made up their midfield. They were some force, maybe amongst the best combos in the last 60 years. For that alone I give Everton a pass mark.

Being as dim as a Toc H lamp (one for the oldies), I hadn't clocked that although a ban initially only excludes Eckert from all activities in England, the FA has the right to ask FIFA to upgrade it to a worldwide ban.

It's safe to assume the FA will do this and it's even safer to assume FIFA will comply in order to set precedent and given they are short of mates these days, stroking the FA will seem a good idea.

All that plonks Eckert totally "in der Scheisse"

Sorry if everyone knew this already.

We used to study the state of every game to estimate the approximate time they would be batting and time our arrival at the ground accordingly.

You would see pretty much every shot in the coaching manual played (and plenty that weren't).

Richards all cover drives, on drives and deft touches all around the wicket and invariably along the carpet.

Greenidge was all pulls, hooks and cuts. invariably airborne, and guaranteed to intimidate bowlers. Off the field he seemed a softly spoken gentle chap.

For any youngster learning the batting trade, those guys were one-stop shopping.
