Wullie

Hold on. You do realise that the person he pretended to speak to (Midhat) has actually spoken to other people on WhatsApp and that's why it was vaguely believable aye? Ashley inevitably pulling the plug is beside the point. Go to the full thread for facetime and audio recording. It'll mean nothing in the end and it's a bizarre thing to do, but he has been talking with people. https://twitter.com/dxvidmetcalfe/status/1143538945684385794?s=19 Oh sorry, I didn't realise "Takeover Man" has been video calling teenagers from Bedlington, that's far more believable.

For the avoidance of doubt, mods and admin have no access to passwords at all. I think we can change them, if you've forgotten yours for example, but we cannot see them. We can do anything we like with your profile though.

Hang on, somebody pretended to be talking to the guy behind the "takeover" on Whatsapp, and adult humans actually believed this, and now want him banned?

There hasn't been a waiting list since about 1998.

Someone chin Andy ffs.

Not trying to be funny or downplay your suffering or anything but I just find posts like this so odd. This has been going on for 11 years now. If you didn't 100% know this was coming at some stage, you've been very naive. It's like being devastated about your wife's 47th affair having known about the other 46. It's not going to stop anytime soon so I would brace yourself for more heartache or, much more sensibly, just toss it off altogether. I disagree, understand ToonArmy1892 completely. Rafa brought feelings that had been missing for years. Hope, belief, pride, dignity. Those feelings go with him. Many of us started to believe in a bright future for this club, especially with talks of a takeover floating about. A future with Rafa and without Ashley. There ain't no takeover and there never was.

Starting the season ticket payments on the ten year deal in February was very smart. Every summer, thousands of people throw good money after bad.

This is it. Today's developments make no sense ashley will never get more than £350m for the club definitely not now Rafa is going. Stupidity doesn't come close. He's not a willing seller.

They've picked the perfect place for it tbf, they can protest and pick up their new season tickets at the same time.

What an unexpected turn of events. You'll be telling me the takeover's a complete load of horseshit next.

Isn't it "The Little Waster" himself?

The lad seems like a total knob but what he's up to with his crap videos couldn't be more harmless. It is mental that he's 26 like.

Saw the thread title, thought he'd scored at 14/1 anytime. A poxy outstanding assist. Little bastard.

Completely demented.

Those rules apply across the board. The current rules means only the very top level of the sport is ruined. That's not a good look. The plus side is that it's even worse than I thought it would be, I mean much much worse. First time I can see the possibility that it will eventually be done away with.

Absolute fucking tosh, mate. I love the sport just as much as you, just got a different opinion. The "you must HATE X because you want to make changes to X" argument, I wonder where I've heard that before Wullie, you're great, man, but you've been so emotionally invested in this fight, you're slinging mud where it's actually pretty easy to engage with the other side on this issue. And disagree. I know on the Interwebz disagreeing with someone politely is taboo, but it's okay to not agree with someone on a topic Every time VAR fucks a game up, whether it's handball or this latest farce, Gallowgate End says "the rules are wrong and need changing" They don't need changing, they've been fine for very many years, making football the world's most popular sport. I liked it the way it is, this is wrecking it, and already the tide is turning as most of the sensible journalists are already realising, this is not sustainable.

If you want to change all the rules so much just get your own fucking sport instead of trying to ruin the one everyone else likes.

Seconds later How long does a kick typically take to get from the spot to the goal? The ball has very clearly been struck in that frame above, it's moving. The fact that we're talking frame by frame images shows how much football has lost its fucking mind to this utter nonsense.

It would be perfectly reasonable to question the sanity of those taking over.

Birmingham's by far the best job he's done, that club's a complete mess and he did well last season.

The handball rule has been the same for decades.

Sounds great. Hopefully he can have a heart attack while he's out there so they can have some extra life insurance payout they couldn't possibly spend. All about that yen.
