I'm not bothered about losing.

I'm quite bothered about the quality of refereeing.

But I'm even more bothered about the stewarding and policing.

So it's acceptable for the police and stewards to go in all guns blazing and attack our fans for standing when there's 100s/1000s of Leeds fans standing up. Even though I don't agree with persistant standing it was the biggest overeaction I have ever seen.

It's acceptable for a policeman to practically headbutt a Pools fan for singing "just because your losing". If that had of been anyone other than a policeman, I'd have expected that Pools fan to chin him.

It's acceptable for stewards to intentionally block the exits to make it difficult for Pools fans to leave.

And it's acceptable for Leeds fans to goad and taunt Pools fans and it's also acceptable for Leeds fans to shoulder every Pools fan they see. I got intentionally shouldered by Leeds fans four times.

Is it fuck acceptable. Absolutle disgrace. Worst stewarding I've experienced. We should treat them the same and get our police force to lay into the Leeds fans who were all standing up in our away end last season.

Also can you not have a piss in peace without stewards coming in and threatening you. Fortunatley they didn't threaten me but was the fuck was that all about?

Concurring fully

First half we did ok second half we were rubbish. Tubbys half time team talk strikes again. Mind the second goal didnt help just before the break. We just dont look like we have a idea going forward. Jones was always getting the ball and had no one move for him so either had to hold onto it or try take people on. To make matters worse looks like no Liddle or Collins on monday.

losing on Monday doesn't even bear thinking about.
All confidence will drain away, and it certainly isn't being replaced by the two on the sidelines.

I caught Turners interview after and he did say Liddle would be missing. Wasnt sure when Collins would miss though. If it is Charlton then be worth leaving Liddle out to rest.

ironically it was Oldham last season who bust a gut to get the authorities to force us to play two days after the original postponement - knowing full well we had a scratch team and they had a great chance of beating us.
They ended up as the worst form side in the division for the last 3 months of the season though, and had it not been for their great start they would have been at the bottom with us at the end.
To be honest, are they in much better form than us at the moment? Might as well play it for me if we can this time, the law of Turner averages says that we are now due our one win in four

As long as we play something like as well as we did at their place, earlier this season.

i agree with chip,do a borer and get the game called off till a few injuries have cleared up,at least that way we have a good chance of making a fight of it and getting 3 points

Also, if Beckford wasnt a footballer he'd be in prision.

Why's that Gaunt?

Because he frequently punches and elbows people as seen in various televised matches.

He doesn't really do it more than any other forward, doesn't get sent off or in much trouble for it.

Steven Gerrard, Joey Barton, they'd be in prison if they wern't footballers. not Beckford.

Err...

You've changed your tune. You actually said that to me.

Joey Barton has been in prision and would be in prision for an even longer period of time if he wasn't a footballer.

I obviously don't watch MOTD much due to my anti-Premiership views so I can't comment on Gerrard.

However based on the times I have seen Beckford this doesn't alter this. The guy is a good footballer but has a terrible attitude, constantly has temper tantrums, has frequent incidents off the ball with other players and has previously assaulted players such as Millwall keeper and I have seen him throw punches on several occasions such as the Carling Cup Match at Elland Road last season.

Beckford is a miserable buggar but when he gets his team 25 + goals a season then you can see why they put up with his antics most of the time. I wouldnt go as far as comparing him with a total fruitcake like Barton though.

I said he'd be in prison if not a footballer? I don't recall. I'v said he's a moody frustraiting kunt.

The Millwall incident he was elbowed 1st and retaliated. He was booked for it and after the game he got a 3 match ban (Which he shouldn't as the ref had dealt with the incident during the game).
To say he regularly throws punches during games is bollocks, how would it go unnoticed and unpunished, the 1 time he has off the ball was Millwall which he was over punished for.

Beckford shouldered Collins off the ball, which lead to Becchio throwing a punch and them brawling as seen on the highlights. Beckford caused the scuffle.

Nuff said.

As I've said, good player, horrible twat.

I also Beckford throw a punch in the Carling Cup game last season.
