Championship thread 25/26! (60 Viewers)

[Martw]

Inviting this festering c**t of rotting abortion piss into your club is unforgivable.

I don't care that Reform is a PLC, I don't care that he hasn't tagged the club in the post. If they invited him there they are in the wrong. If they didn't and they don't call it out as being unsolicited, they are in the wrong.

He is pure unadulterated evil and represents everything that is wrong in this country right now as well as being the main reason for it being that way too.

There is no place for this in football. Whether it is reform/tory/labour/greens whatever. Politics is so divisive, and supporter bases so diverse that as soon as shit like this starts happening, a portion of your fans will always feel alienated.

I genuinely feel sorry for those Ipswich fans that aren't knuckle dragging, racist, flag-shagging, homophobes that have to live with this skidmark of a stain on their club for the rest of their lives.

Well said

So nice to see Ipswich fans having a meltdown on their board over this, rather than talk about the league lol

 

[Grendel]

At the very least if this is the case they should put out a statement saying that they do not, as a club, support any political party and acknowledge that anyone is able to book a tour of the ground, purchase replica shirts and take photos whilst they do so.

If they don't it's a disgrace.

Im sure the club doesn’t support a political party. This is a story only on forums such as this really

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can clearly see that the line fed to favourable local journos was a desperate attempt to scramble back some of the damage.

This video is pretty damning for their "no involvement" line.



He's signing the shirt to "Mark" who is presumably CEO Mark Ashton!

Yuck

I'm sure you'd be just as calm if Dave Boddy had Jeremy Corbyn swanning around the arena

 

[Otis]

i do have to say this every time

i'd be annoyed if Cov did this for Labour or the Greens

Exactly.

Didn't matter which party it was.

Just steer clear of that sort of nonsense. Every fanbase will be made up of supporters of many different parties and factions

Not seen this before, but made me chuckle (stolen from the Ipswich forum!)

He thinks your lovely too. But please dont sit on the fence in future.

They should keep politics out of football, so I am not sure why it was seen as a good decision to be there. Just completely pointless and doesn't help anyone. I would say the same if it was any political party. You go to the football to get away from all that shit.

That said, the references to Reddit (one of the internets biggest cesspits) and all this talk about them being divisive - they are leading in the polls. There are reasons for that and scoffing at it is not going to help. Farage and co are a reaction. The cause of that needs attention, rather than just calling people racist and morons, which is what I am seeing on this thread. It is like people have learned nothing.

 

[Calista]

I'm sure they could have stopped it once it became clear that it was a stunt. And if they supplied multiple shirts with his name on the back then they were complicit.

"It's understood the Blues were initially unaware of who was taking part in the tour before opting to allow it to continue as planned once it became clear with representatives of Reform’s media team filming and taking photographs."

 

[Grendel]

I didn’t lose much sleep over this

 

[Grendel]

I have an issue with this as it’s freeloading but it’s hardly going to make a difference

Exclusive: Starmer Kept Taking VIP Football Tickets Even After ‘Freebies’ Scandal

Keir Starmer took almost £10,000 in freebies from Arsenal football club at a time when he was involved in appointing the chairperson of the new football regulator. Paul Holden and Jessica Murray investigate.

So they could and should have stopped it there

The irony of someone calling someone evil and anyone who follows a democratic political party various abusive words because they make out their the fascist when they are doing exactly what a fascist does.
keep politics out of football I agree but dont try forcing your political views on everyone else on a football forum like they are the saviour of the world as long as everyone conforms to your own views.

At least I can add him to my ignore list now

The hypocrisy of the left

 

[SafeAsMilk]

I’d like to think Ipswich fans do something about this at next home game… a far right football club is such a weird concept… fans come from all backgrounds, genders etc ….players from around the world… the flag shagging brigade can do one …

Do what exactly? Elect a reform MP like they did in one of their constituencies last time?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Oh dear this is thoroughly embarrassing for ipswich and their fans

I have not much time for either, but Starmer is a devoted Arsenal fan much like Sunak was a big Southampton fan - Both should be able to attend in their private time should they wish and clubs are obviously going to put them in the directors box from a security perspective

For free? Corbyn refused when he was Labour leader and paid,

how is the PM being given hospitality tickets so he can still take his son to football games given he now can't use his old season tickets in anyway the same?

If Farage was a fan I’d assume you’d have no issues he getting them? Also he can pay.

They are also far behind where they should be given as of todays YouGov poll they are only 4 points ahead of a massively unpopular Government.

I guess that is why are trying shite like this.

The racist moron representative has spoken and you won’t believe what he’s said!

 

[alexccfc99]

He was at the F1 last year on a freebie - and is at pretty much every England Cricket game at Lords

They all do the same

 

[Bugsy]

Even grok thinks we're massive lol

 

[Shannerz]

democratic political party

Cute.

That is irrelevant, and doesn't answer the question.

Starmer accepting freebies may be an issue, but it's a completely different one to a football club allowing a politician to use them for a blatant publicity stunt.

 

[TomRad85]

It wasn't smart from the club, football clubs will have fans dotted all over the political spectrum and most fans just want to talk about football. This kind of thing gets fanbases arguing among themselves which you don't want really. However it is Ipswich who i can't stand anyway and not our club and this thread is just turning into another mud slinging thread. Again, there is a politics thread where people argue this bollocks all day. Spoiler - there is one poster you will ONLY find in that thread.

That’s not the point though. It’s fine if it’s consistent across the board.

We appointed a bloke who kicked the shit out of women and laughed at the victim. Hardly a great look either.

I am not really bothered what they do with their spare time, they are entitled to hobbies and interests the same as any person - They probably all get in for free, that is just the way the world is

I would be pissed off if we held a rally for any political party in the exhibition hall however and Ipswich fans are right to call it out

Was it a rally?

 

[Grendel]

I’m sure they regret it happening but it would have been madness to stop it half way through

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s a bizarre thing to have done and does come across as an endorsement for them, whatever they try and claim.
