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

[Bozza]

Brighton & Hove Albion are reminding fans to continue to follow and represent the club with pride and passion when supporting the team at home and away, ahead of Saturday's match against Preston North End at the Amex.

<some stuff>

What a load of PC bollocks.

Is it OK to 'Sully'?

Not me personally, but when I read that, the first thing I thought of was the free shirt thread and the thought of club staff getting virbally abused for providing a poor customer service

Shame, I do love a good besmirching.

I once was co-editor of a popular Albion fanzine that published an article that questioned the quality of a replica shirts being sold (in comparison to the early examples shown to the press), and after a home game (it may even have been the 1st game at Withdean!) Nick Rowe confronted me and others, I think including [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] outside the Prince Albert pub in Brighton, accusing us of besmirching the good name of the club

I wouldn't have minded, but I didn't write the article, eh [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] ?

Am I the only one uncomfortable with this and the 1984-style Big Brother wording? The doublespeak of the title wording that Barber uses - for it his surely his text - is particularly troubling.

What an odd statement to issue.

They've obviously got something on their mind, wonder what prompted the lawyers to get them to issue that ?

I wouldn't be too concerned what a Leeds fan thought

The <some stuff> is what it's all about, so entirely reasonable. Aimed at the knuckle draggers who, unfortunately, are present at every club. Having said that the literal meaning of besmirch is to make something dirty or discoloured, so I might have been guilty having left a skid mark in the South Stand bogs at the Goldstone in 1991.

I started this besmerching thread back in March 2016. Apparently then they were worried that the 7,000 fans were going to besmarch the clubs name in Milton Keynes. I don't believe anyone did. Looks like they are fond of copy and paste.

I guess I could understand the message for MK away but why now ahead of Preston at home? Do they have a massive element of trouble makers? Has Darren Balkham "heard" something from one of his SOURCES?

I once dropped my Albion mug at work, smashed into pieces.
With me resulting in swearing at the disaster, by saying 'cheap crap'

Would Kemy Agustien count as 'club staff'?

[MENTION=1022]Wilko[/MENTION] [MENTION=2422]Tony Meolas Loan Spell[/MENTION] and I left this on a car in the middle of Copenhagen. Does this count?

I seem to recall that Muhammed 'im hard' Bruce Lee has etched similar on the Little Mermaid, also in the same city - if I've got that right then he wins.

Ah, I see - the "some stuff" explains it. I assumed that was an ad in the middle of the text.

 

[Cheggers]

There were a few 'heated exchanges' before the last home game in the north stand. Could it be related to that?

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
