bcnram Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 To be fair, the guy was a fool for writing that sort of stuff on Facebook and not expect a reaction, in the same way that Oyston had a reaction from the FA for his text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those <expletive deleted> <expletive deleted>, I wouldn't be surprised if they sued the sea for being too rough when they went sailing, so just mentioning the <expletive deleted> on a website would probably make them pay rather closer attention to a person than I would feel comfortable with. Incidentally, 'Oyston' is an anagram of 'Snooty'. Blackpool fans are currently having a lot of fun with old Dandy cartoons featuring Snitch and Snatch etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLACML Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 In all seriousness, I think that's a really sausageish thing to do. If they want to force Oyston out, then they need to stop going to games. I'd be so pissed off if I was a Huddersfield fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 if it was a match with something riding on it it would have been even worse.its not the right thing to do, and in the end probably wont help, but i do understand it.they should award hudders the 3 points.

But that does leave Blackpool with the lowest points in the second tier in history. The derby of the second tier. They could have won this match and avoided that unenviable title.

The match cannot be replayed, because after tomorrow, Blackpool are down to 6 professional players. Everyone else is out of contract. That is how much Karl Oyston hates Blackpool. He is hell-bent on killing the club out of spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still what Oyston is doing is a disgrace thank goodness for GSE & Mel Morris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'd bloody love it as a Huddersfield fan, a once in a lifetime chance to say you were there when something memorable happened.It'd take one petty bugger to demand a refund IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always going to be a pretty nothing game, but now they can say they were there. It's not like it's a million miles away either, not like it's Boro away at Brighton or something. Having said tgat, if I was a Blackpool fan is be encouraging them to ask for a refund, more money out of the oik-stons pockets. It wouldn't be money coming out of the club, as the oystons aren't putting any money in in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One petty bugger to demand the football match he paid for? I know we're owned by Americans but surely sport still comes above the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Really? One petty bugger to demand the football match he paid for? I know we're owned by Americans but surely sport still comes above the show.Luckily for us, the Amigos left before it came to the level of pitch invasions. That's because their illegal activities were in the process of being uncovered and they ran. I had voted with my feet during their tenure, had cancelled my season ticket and refused them one more penny of my money. If the Co-op bank hadn't forced the issue, who knows what might have happened? Regarding Blackpool, it's not about poor performances on the pitch - it's about an ownership who seem to be deliberately bleeding the club dry for their own financial gain, and using confrontational tactics to antagonise as many people as possible in the process. What other reason could there be for removing the Mortenson statue - a focal point for the demonstration - and doing it by sawing through the metal supports which would have invariably damaged it.Once you have examined then navigated all other avenues, direct action is the only road left. Yesterday was the culmination of two years spent searching those other avenues for a solution. A hefty fine, which will surely be the inevitable result of yesterday's actions, will hit the Oystons in the pocket. A points deduction next season will handicap Blackpool in League 1, but that is not a concern for Blackpool fans. They want the rapist and the fly-tipper out of their club - and they are prepared to go to the Conference or see the club killed off to achieve it. Then they can start again - from nothing if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 As you are all no doubt aware, Blackpool's game against Huddersfield was abandoned on Saturday. This was the culmination of two years action by Blackpool fans in dispute with Owen and Karl Oyston over the financing - or rather the lack of it (in fact, the total opposite applies) - of their club. The abandonment followed a pitch invasion by between 150 and 300 fans who occupied the centre circle for an hour.I'm sure that some of you will have seen reports surrounding 'Mobility Man' - a 60 year old gentleman who 'invaded' the pitch on a mobility scooter. This film of his invasion has now gone mega-viral with millions of views world-wide, and has generated a huge amount of interest as far as media outlets (national newspapers and national television) are concerned. One thing that the Oystons did to try to nip protests in the bud was the removal of the fans' beloved 'Morty' statue - both sneakily and clumsily removed from its plinth outside Bloomfield Road on Thursday night. It transpires that the return of the statue - promised today - cannot now happen because it has been damaged (supporting struts were sawn through with an angle-grinder), and Stan Mortenson's grand-niece was understandably livid when she was interviewed by the BBC earlier today.The statue was funded by fans and the local council 10 years ago, consequently it has now been reported to the police as having been 'stolen'.

davenportram Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 lock them up I say. But technically its not theft because they intended to return it. Its just taken without consent and criminal damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
