[Albion] Have YOU besmirched the good name of the club in any way?

[Stat Brother]

It would have been easier just to hand out a junior shirt.

'a totally unacceptable incident'

Politically correct term, or blue sky thinking boxxocks, for someone possibly questioning a directive from a member of staff, or even worse possibly swearing at them. If the incident is worthy of a press release from the club then they should at least give us the full story, or are they being faux offended to allow them to remind us all that we are being watched? All a bit spooky just before Halloween, I am almost feeling harassed.

Besmerch is one thing but how do you diminish Brghtn nd ove bion

Sorry, it was me.

I'm as clean as a whistle. Honest, guv. How about you?

Honestly the games gone

 

[Wellesley]

Is it OK to 'Sully'?

How very dare you, it is certainly not ok to diminish or besmirch Sully. He was an Albion legend!

 

[Wellesley]

As much as I love the club and it has always been a big, uniting part of my family, I also want to give it a big 'F#CK OFF!' and get on with what is REALLY important in my life and no longer be patronised, fleeced and taken for granted by it.

Seems strange to post not long after the good story of the assistance to the wheelchair team to enable them to play in their tournament. I would have thought that given the need to remind supporters, that this would have been better left to tomorrow to enable the focus to remain on the wheelchair players. - Who hopefully will be bringing home the clubs first European Trophy.

 

[Triggaaar]

I do love that song

 

[Lush]

I suggest we apologise for the totally unacceptable behaviour and all sign up for dancing lessons before the next post-match disco.

It's like being back at school isn’t it? Received many of these then, the bit about behaviour required whilst travelling to and from matches (school) sound very familiar.

It's a preemptive telling off aimed at everyone supporting the club, 99.9 percent of whom are never likely to behave badly. And will have zero effect on the 0.1% who might. In short, it makes the club look a bit silly IMHO.

I collaborated on a book that was so offensive that the club shop (now the Nike Superstore) refused to sell it. I think it may have been because Ray Bloom felt besmirched.

Hear hear.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Bizarrely worded. If you buy a ticket you are simply paying to watch a game of football, not joining a cult or a society. Many of us do have a greater sense of identification than that but it is not a condition of sale unlike complying with the regulations.

 

[Eeyore]

I've been thrown out at the end of two Amex matches - Millwall & Norwich(disco)

This was entirely due to [MENTION=26444]Wrong Direction[/MENTION] and his crew

You BESMIRCHED the good name of disco dancing.

 

[pastafarian]

would a member of staff having a horrible accident in the away dressing room and then everyone lying and blaming the home team constitute besmirching your club?

 

[LlcoolJ]

I think Barber has dropped the ball here. Actually he's dropped the ball and then realised that it's an egg, which is now all over his face, and his expensive suit.

I've BESMIRCHED the Albion (criteria tba) I suppose when I went to Old Trafford and pissed all over the glass front of the shithouse on my way out. I MAY or may not have shouted derogatory comments about that club and something about BHAFC being by far the greatest at the time but that is anecdotal.

I didn't get arrested but I presume it still counts as a BESMIRSCH?

 

[el punal]

I must confess that I booed and hissed when the Albion played Oxford in the FA Cup back in 1981. It was the most abject performance that I've seen a Brighton team play.

For this outburst of booing and hissing I most humbly apologise to the club, the players, and the fans, who witnessed this unseemly behaviour.

There! That's got that off my conscience.
