So everything we saw on Sunday and what happened in the tunnel was *Fake News", straight out of a another Meglamanics book Mr Donald Trump's??.

Have you read the full statement mossy? I actually quite like it, a club under fire defending their own. ?.

Don’t really understand why our fans can’t just accept the owner for what he is, it’s a small price to pay for the hundreds of millions he’s pumped into our club, which he’s basically resurrected from football irrelevance, so he’s a bit hot headed, who cares? Nuno is no doubt well paid enough to take a bit of heat, if he don’t like public bollockings, ( if that’s what it was ) he should try mine and legos old job, ?.

Exactly Stevie, at least he gives a s**t, we could have been really lucky and ended up with Sir Jim Ratcliff?, seems very popular. ?.

I read a few articles about our European rivals putting in a complaint to the FA about Mr M's behaviour, they stated that as he technically isn't on the board he was classed as a pitch invader and should therefore be banned from the ground.
Utter bull?.
I hope there's now a narrative coming out of our dressing room that its them against us, the big clubs trying to do one over us.
Get some fury and passion going into the last two games. Unleash Yates in London at the weekend i say. ???.

Stevie and Lego, on the subject of public bollockings, I remember being witness to one when I was posted fresh out of Training School to Beeston Police Station in early 1979. I did a stint in Beeston Control Room which happened to be just down a short corridor from the Superintendent’s Office. The Supt at the time was a fearsome Geordie fella of the Old School with a liking for the bottle either on or off duty.
Anyway, one day the Stapleford Beat Officer ( no names, no pack drills as you ex military say), a very experienced PC of long service was called in over an alledged fling with a young (and very attractive) PW ( whom he later married). Voices ( mainly of a Geordie accent) were raised and the Control Room Sgt and all staff went into the corridor to have a listen. The public reception area was also in earshot so it was very unprofessional to say the least.
To cut a short story long, the PC left the Superintendents office with the words “Sir, before this interview it was just me that thought you were a Cnut. Now the whole Police Station and several members of the Public think you are a Cnut as well. Good afternoon sir” ?????
I couldn’t believe what i'd seen and heard because this was in the days when Inspectors and above were seen as Gods…….

The slim chance that we need a win against Chelsea, i hope Mr Marinakis stays away, he will have a camera focused on him all the time for his reactions and*Passion*.
Mr Marinakis and Fawaz was best mates back in the day Skegs.

You do make me chuckle Stokey.
This whole reprimanded-thing on the pitch is a joke. From what I saw, Big M stormed onto the pitch with an I Phone 8 in his hand, had a few choice words with Nuno, and then stormed off again after a few seconds. So what? Passion is a brilliant thing that we've been lacking as a club for too many years.
As for proper bollockings - Stevie and I have experienced scary men screaming at our faces from 6 inches away with their spittle landing on our faces and then threatening to wrap their regimental pace-stick around our heads if we screwed-up again.
A subtle difference in bollocking,

What's that got to do with running our club into the ground mossy ?? and I'm glad they were best friends at the time else maybe he would never of bought forest ?.

Lego, mate, I’ve never been a fan of “hair dryer” type bollockings, certainly not in public or in front of colleagues. Please don’t get me wrong, I recognise the need for discipline as the basis for life and everything really and I’ve instituted disciplinary actions against Officers, represented several at hearings and been disciplined myself. I think Niccolo Machiavelli’s dictum that “it’s always better for a Prince to be feared than loved” is ok for medieval times but not in today’s world. It stymies initiative and enterprise and causes more harm than good imo.
By the way, I used to have to listen to interminable debates between the 2 ex paras and 1 ex Royal Marine on my shift at Nottingham Central as to the different disciplinary codes of these 2 elite units. Basically, the Paras were trained to run through brick walls by brute force, the Marines to negotiate a way around them by skill and deceit. The classic bludgeon v rapier. They never came to an agreement…….
