EFM The Firm, The Voice Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 We didn't apoligise! I've had the article in my pocket all weekend until this morning when I changed trousers! Doh! I will post it on here Thursday morning if nobody else has done it by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laz Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I was surprised the article didn't appear in Tuesday's programme. This is the kind of response that Gibbo usually flies into without thinking beforehand. So given the fact that he had time to "think" before writing it, I'm surprised it didn't mention the abusive language he and his fellow director used openly at you and the Voice at the start of the second half. That was far more damaging to the club's image as there were families in the stand, and although probably out of earshot, the cheerleaders were around too. Anyway, what impression does this kind of programme article make on away supporters or the parents of the "kids-for-a-quid" who come to the game?

Colin Zeal EFM Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 Well, it seems Thornsy and I are on our last chance. Any more 'trouble' (and I'm still baffled by what the hell I am meant to have done wrong over the last 18 months) and we'll receive a "total ban". What that means, I am not sure. Presumably I could only be banned from Clarence Park which, let's face it, is no big loss. It's the boozy away trips I look forward to. I feel that the reason I have upset Gibson is more to do with me standing by my mates than anything I have actually done wrong myself. I have made myself a target because I had the balls to question him (as did GHA) about his treatment of Thorns and Costello at last year's Christmas party.

EFM The Firm, The Voice Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Here it is Quote: Humourless Geordie wrote One sour note and that is, once again, I am disappointed by the drunken behaviour of some of our immature, though not so young, supporters. The Carshalton game was a total embarrassment with two nameless idiots virtually intimidating some young cheerleaders. They prehaps thought they were hilarious but the young girls, as you would expect, did not appear to think so and neither did I, or our vice-chairman. May I, therefore , say this once and once only, I am involved with St.Albans City because I love football and these people are seriously impairing that enjoyment. I do ot, therefore, want any more apoligies as they are worthless but I can assure you that any other misbehaviour will result in a total ban. I will be the arbitrator and will not discuss the matter further Judge " so would you say you were intimidated" Person "virtually" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Zeal EFM Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 What a ridiculous turn of phrase. "I do not, therefore, want any more apologies as they are worthless" Errr... I didn't apologise. Did you, Thornsy?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFM's Librarian Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I think its unfair for him to say the bit about any further misbehaviour. Who decides what misbehaviour is? It could be something as minor as forgetting to wear your scarf the right way up <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFM The Firm, The Voice Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I didn't apoligise. Then again the cheerleaders weren't intimindated .... the fire eq was stolen by somebidy else ....

Little Miss Urchin Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Quote: I will be the arbitrator and will not discuss the matter further Well at least he's open to discuss the matter further and will not take any action without taking in other people's opinions. Ever get the feeling he's doing this <img src="/images/graemlins/icon29.gif" alt="" /> in his office at you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Hi LMU. The Chairman has made his position as clear as he's going to from those programme notes, although he might have tried "arbiter" for "arbitrator". In the light of the news from Canvey Island over the past few days, it would be as well for those concerned to keep a distance from the boardroom for a while. As I said on another posting on this subject last week, Clarence Park is big enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) I know I've done nothing wrong. If I (or Thornsy) were to be banned, I am fairly confident that 80% of EFM would back me up by refusing to go to home games. Although this is probably what Gibbo wants. C) I would not particularly care if I was banned from home games. As I said previously, it's the away games that I enjoy. D) If I decided that I DID care that I was banned, I would take my appeal to the highest of levels. I would go to every newspaper in the district and I would write to the Ryman League. E) I'm bored of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
