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

[Eggman]

I thought it was a muesli.

 

[Steve in Japan]

I'd like to see the Club use the verb "defile" in the next admonishment; "besmirch" is SO overused these days.

 

[Soul Finger]

It's supposed to be a football club, not Scientology.

 

[Taybha]

Not sure if this counts but i did hit a newcastle fan in the back with a dart that was destined for double 5 , i was young and foolish , to play killer darts in the eclipse pub in the 80s was very dangerous as the dartboard was positioned in such a place that if you needed a slash you were basically in the firing line of pringle jumper wearing shandied up yoofs lobbing pointy objects in the general direction of a circle with numbers on it , a recipe for disaster , mind you in those days nobody gave a shit , i'm sure these days i would of been put in stocks at the amex on matchday and the customers entering the 7 stars bar would be able to collect a item of rotten veg to lob at me (sorry throw ) , inclusive of the £12 .

Oh yes.

Perhaps they can call us 'deviants' as well.

I snuck onto the Amex before it opened and gave a shiny white virginal 1901 bog a good besmirching before I left.

Those lobbing veg at you would have to be careful their throwing action did not constitute "luzzing" and constitute an act of besmirchment in itself.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I think it was me, after I told a Wednesday fan to go home and feed his f*****g whippet after he was gobbing off to us after the play-off semi-final.

 

[Hiney]

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.

To be fair, anyone prepared to use the toilets at The Goldstone deserves a medal, regardless of any besmirching that may have happened.

"Seagulls Priority members and match-ticket purchasers must at all times do everything within their power and control to protect and enhance the good name of the club...."

Must at all times and everything within their power are words that my solicitor advises me not to accept in fees agreements that I sign with Clients when working as a consultant. So why should I have to accept this for a poxy season ticket to watch football?

Usually a mild-mannered lady....I found myself rather angsty with the comment. As much as I respect Mr Barber and what he has achieved, that article made me wonder 'what next?'

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

My besmirching confession relates to failing to do everything within my power and control to adhere to officially-issued washing instructions for my BrightonandHoveJobs.com era replica shirt, a birthday present from my kids. In a wilful act of rebellion I included it in the weekly wash at the launderette, and machine washed at high temperatures. Retribution was swift (38 minutes) and terrible (sponsors name completely shredded, shirt rendered unwearable). You won't catch ME besmirching again, that's for sure!

 

[El Presidente]

The toilets at the Goldstone are the only ones I know which looked cleaner immediately after one had dropped a fresh plop than before.

 

[SAC]

To paraphrase Len Goodman, the club want people to turn up and shut up. They probably aren't even that bothered about the turn up part so long as people have purchased a ticket.

You're not alone.

 

[Ernest]

Has nobody ANY idea what brought this Barber RANT on ? Who has been BESMIRCHING ? Is it to do with the 'SVEN Stars' Bar or Mouldy Boots RANT on here about the FREE shirts ? SHORELY someone MUST know ?

 

[Taybha]

May have something to do with this , following a search by a vigilant steward a customer was found to be trying to smuggle these into the ground , the club take smuggling very seriously and anybody caught trying to enter with banned substances like proper teabags maybe given a ban or worse made to stand in a corner with a pointy hat on during the match .

[halbpro]

If they'd put out just the bit that says "Hey, don't be a dick" it'd be fine. Adding the terms and conditions bit is just a dumb move.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I may well have uttered (under my breath of course) words of a besmirching nature to the following former club officials:

Bellotti D
Archer W
Stanley G
Wood J
Hinshlewood M
Hyypia S

*hangs head*

(Also I'm expecting the catering to be spectacularly crap on Saturday now, luckily I'm meeting my mates in the Swan for a change)

 

[Return of the Rev]

Oh the Withdean corporate area. Such decadence, Mr Rev.

oh to return to the days when we were not losing £200k+ a week
