Jesus wept. What an absolute cockwomble. It’s the oddest thing I’ve ever read on NSC, and that is REALLY saying something. I actually fear for his mental well-being, because it’s unbelievably odd.

I said on my Macmillan thread that this place attracts a lot of weird and wonderful people. I will place you firmly in the weird column...

Really the sort of questions Barber should be answering.

I’m not defending Swansman for one nano second, but I believe, though could be wrong, that the reference to heavy handed stewarding probably refers to flask and bottletopgate.. which many on here do think is heavy handed, though not the stewards fault - they are just obeying orders like the........... Kafka / Catch 22 or something!
Clearly the tit has got himself banned, so can’t back up my assertion. The rest is drivel, pure and simple!

Yes. If I were PB I think I'd have stopped reading at "I've never been to Brighton.....".
Four replies in, I was about to say that I've never seen a post that has unified NSC so much, especially supporting Barber. That never happens.
Then I had to go out and came back to 4 pages of the same............. It's some achievement for sure.
WOW.
Having said that, I have always found Swansman to be a decent and amiable poster who A: Follows Potter B: Has acquired quite an affiliation to Brighton and C: Clearly smokes a bit too much weed.
He's hardly a Timmy, so let's not be too harsh eh?

I was away on business and sat in the hotel bar minding my own business passing the time chatting to the barman.
I had earlier audited the bar as it had our products (easy gain for my targets!). In walked this chap who ordered a pint and sat next to me. He started to chat to the barman and me, all very pleasant stuff. He then started on about the beer. About hour later he was still going on about brewing and how he was considered an expert in the field by his friends, yet worked in computers.
I corrected him on some finer points, he however refuted all I said and questioned most of what I said. The barman smiled at me, knowing what who I was and allowing this chap to dig an even bigger hole.
Eventually I made my excuses and left, but not before I placed a business card on the bar, in sight of this chap, but for the barman. My job tittle, Beer Quality Manager. His face was a picture.
Swanaman you weren't in Bristol around June 2019 were you?

Well firstly, Swansman, I’ve generally enjoyed your posts since you joined. You have good insight on into GPS philosophy, way of thinking and so on.
However this is really, really out of line.
You don’t have the right to represent HERE (the NSC), let alone Brighton supporters in general.
You haven’t followed our club for 5 minutes, and believe you already have the ear of the entire fan base.
1. You haven’t even been to a game
2. The fact you’ve not shown the entire dialogue is suspicious. Why abbreviate the conversation? What exactly did you say at the start?
3. Barber has way more important things to worry about then this inane dribble.
4. You do not have be right to represent the NSC
5. Even if you did, who made you the judge to decide which comments/questions “made the cut”? This enrages me as I and a good many here have recently been praising the long term attitude and the general unconditional support from the Albion faithful. You haven’t represented our views like, at all. And to cap things off you paraphrased our questions to suit your own angle. All this may influence Barbers opinion of the fans. This is borderline criminal.
6. You may have actually damaged the NSCs chances of getting Barber to contribute here.
7. You haven’t even been to a single game...
Only thing that is good about this is that I think Paul Barber had the measure of you fairly quickly, and shot down some of your “gathered opinions” quite assertively, whilst understanding the whole spectrum of the fan base.
I have a bit more respect for PB from that. For you less so.

Had a brief thought I'd never heard such attention seeking pseudo journalism in my life but of course that's quite a regular occurrence on here.
Have a suspicion we may not be hearing from another of Timmys guises for a while

And I have no affiliation but I’ve never seen any single issue with any of the stewards and I go to most home games. Maybe a scuffle outside last season vs. Palace. But nothing crazy.
Way to completely discredit the integrity of our stewards profession, to basically one of their upper management bosses as well. They have jobs on the line.

Technically I'd imagine it's quite difficult to string a sentence together and blow your own trumpet (or someone else's) at the same time.It's not Timmy.

Not seen such Bravery!
Strewth - Timmy ( and 1 or 2 others ) are way more offensive than swansman.It's not Timmy.

Timmy was telling people a game was cancelled - for a joke - and bragged about booting someone off their bike. And there is the sorry tale about having all his posts deleted.
The backlash to the backlash begins.Yes. If I were PB I think I'd have stopped reading at "I've never been to Brighton.....".
