This palarse scummer that keeps banging on about wearing a Brighton shirt.

[Uncle Spielberg]

What an enormous over-reaction by people trying to get on the bandwagon. Ridiculous

Not really Tim. The fact is only one person can say if it is an overreaction and that is Kev and he has taken it personally.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

And does Mendoza still raise 90% of the money or has that changed these days?

He was syphoning it all off and sending it to Beijing orphanages and so was sacked from the project.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Has any of the money raised for charidee gone to help the underprivileged folk of Croydon yet ?

£ 6200.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

REMF bought and supplied a mini-bus for disabled children in Sutton area last year I think.

No that was for the Seagulls Specials. The REMF gave £ 5000 to Sutton Eagles last year.

No no, hang the bastard high. Burn him with our self righteousness.

Would you rather people say nothing critical, and ,by omission, are seen to be agreeing or condoning the comments of the OP?

I'm all for satire, piss-taking and pricking pompous buffoonery, but the OP wasn't a joke, despite the backtracking claims.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

What does the REMF actually do? Where does the money go? I know it's something about under privileged kids, but which under privileged kids and what does the money get them?

And does Mendoza still raise 90% of the money or has that changed these days?

There have been loads of updates over the years. Mendoza is a REMF legend but 90% ? no that is a huge disservice to the hundreds of other people that help.

The fact is the only person that should make a judgement is Kev and he was offended, end of. Other people saying it is an overreaction are missing that fundamental point. Not rocket science I would have thought.

No, my point was about the self righteous outpouring from a load of people who have nothing to do with the charity. How do you know it wasn't a joke? It's pretty difficult to tell when it's written rather than spoken.

I haven't read them. I'm genuinely interested, that's all.

What do you reckon the percentage is that Mendoza has raised? And did I hear he isn't involved anymore? How is that going to effect things this year do you think?

I don't think it is right putting percentages to people's names but Mendoza has made a massive contribution. He is still involved, playing in REMF 12 and the bike ride in September so the fund raising from everyone will go from strength to strength. We have a 7 runner team in the Brighton marathon, REMF 12, The REMF Golf Day and the REMF bike ride and Al's REMF Quiz just held raised £ 700. The charity is running at around £ 20k pa new funds raised and I think this year will be even more.

It is not. It is damaging if it affects the mindset of someone who is vital to the REMF and CPFC in general are vital to the REMF.

No. Anyone can say it's an overreaction, because it is. Isn't the whole point of him doing it to raise money on the basis of some gentle ribbing from Brighton fans? No one said it wasn't a good thing he was doing... Anyone who is offended by that must have problems living in the real world.

I agree. And I think the question we're all dying to ask is...

How much money would we actually have to raise to get the club crest tattooed on his chest?

20 grand? 100 grand? £1 million?

Not the point I was making Uncle. Someone makes an erroneous attempt at humour, or whatever, and is castigated for it, which is fair enough, but why does every man and his dog feel the need to jump in? What do those people get out of it on a personal level? Cyber witch-hunt's are one thing NSC does well unfortunately.

Asking someone to wear a shirt of a club he hates is one thing, asking someone to mutilate his body with a tattoo of a club he hates is ridiculous as it would never happen would it ?

I guess and my point is, as hard as it is to understand is that Kev appears to have been offended by it and that is the only person that matters despite whether people find it hard living in the real world.

That was an example of someone joking. Christ on a bike

And that's my point. If Kevin is offended then that's his prerogative, but what about all the other people jumping in? Thats the overreaction. Embarrassing

And he got a ban too it seems - what a complete joke.

We have both made our points. As far as I am concerned organising the marathon team which has been a struggle this year is that Kev was offended and thought about pulling out and he has not posted on here since so that is my motivation.

Yes but why put a suggestion about something that was never going to happen and call him a palarse scummer banging on about the shirt ? If there is a " joke " there I fail to see it.
