What about accountants? Aren't they mere facilitators of the exploitation you so graphically describe?

What if someone was an accountant AND an avaricious middle man? That would be the worst.
Bean counters are almost the worst it has to be said....
When you say almost the worst I'm assuming you believe lawyers are the worst.

They're in a league of their own mate. Many of the senior guys in the SS were lawyers as it happens. Just saying, like.........

I referenced getting beaten up by Billy Bealls dad because that genuinely did happen.
It didn't happen. I can say that with 100% certainty because I was unfortunate enough to be sat between them and spent about half an hour along with a couple of others playing peacemaker, If BBs dad had of got to the blokes slagging off his son he would have laid into them without doubt

The abuse given to BB that day was way over the top.

Recall someone close to where I sit shouting “Your just a small town in Baghdad” repeatedly towards the away supporters when we were playing Luton Town a few seasons ago...!
How is that racist?
No idea mate. It's probably a pure coincidence that Luton has a high Asian population. I doubt the bloke making the reference to Baghdad was even aware of that - I doubt he's aware of much at all tbh - brain cells are needed for that.
So this did happen?

Also, massive congrats to beradogs for his 1,000th defence of racialism on this board, good work sir.

That is precisely why. Not a coincidence at all, Baghdad and the Asian population of Luton were commented on in direct connection. Plus would actually seem a rather random comment otherwise, no? This was in the West Stand by the way and you could ask him tonight, he’s on the panel!

Struggling for guests are we Gilso?😋
Lee has been on 2 shows since Nov 16th. No we are not struggling thanks. Unfortunately Mr Teague who was to be on has to attend the Fans Forum instead. He will no doubt be on as soon as he is able to. We continue to liase with the club for current staff to appear and are arranging ex players appearances and journos for future shows. We also have some supporters who will be appearing on shows for the first time over the coming weeks. Thanks for your creative input.
So 8 times in 26 shows in total. Quite regular.

Some were asked and others rounded up, only I question / point from twitter and nothing else from anywhere else I think.
