    Abuse at Preston??

    Me I believe. I'm trying to work out who the smoker is. Could be a long day.

    Abuse at Preston??

    Yes it did happen. A certain person who thinks he is above everyone else is always calling fans who go to the cobblers scabs. I am just about fed up of him. He even thinks it is alright to smoke whilst watching the match. Anyone worked out who he is? Jeffrey Bernard?

    Abuse at Preston??

    You had to be there Nick. People went on strike on principal. They went without any wages for well over a year and were really living on the breadline. I think the notion that other people were keeping the mines going and earning money while they had none really got their backs up. Add to that...

    Abuse at Preston??

    Thing is though Nick, the owners must have known this move to Northampton was going to cause anger, friction and division amongst fans. They must have and they have done very little to reassure the City faithful staying away from these 'home' games in Northampton.

    Mail on Sunday: half story

    Surely every Mail on Sunday story is a half story isn't it?

    Abuse at Preston??

    But not everyone is you Nick. I would be the same. We just have to accept that football fans can be very passionate at times and situations like this cause friction. There have been incidents of players receiving death threats for missing a penalty or costing a game before and death threats...

    Abuse at Preston??

    Very fair points indeed. Mountains and molehills springs to mind.

    Abuse at Preston??

    It needs to be by rational debate, but when will we ever get that? You look at the House of Commons and the rabble that becomes at times. If you put 200 people in a room together who are passionate about something but have totally differing views, you can be bound sure it will end up in raised...

    The Bridge II

    I remember getting Dirty Harry out on DVD thinking it was going to be a porn film. Same too with the Disney film, The Black Hole.

    Abuse at Preston??

    Don't think anyone can say this sort of thing is justifiable on any level.

    The Bridge II

    Thing is with this series of Sherlock, is the fact they have gone for comedy. It is much more comedic and comic bookish compared to the more serious first couple of series. This new series is laugh out loud funny.

    The Bridge II

    Not seen The Bridge, so Grendel may well be right on thay one, but I cannot agree with Sherlock being appalling. I love the programme and think this new series has been absolutely hilarious.

    The Davies sending off.

    Yep, straight red every day of the week. No idea why he protested about the decision.

    Abuse at Preston??

    Agree with you on a lot of stuff Nw, but not on this. People are passionate about their football. I am not saying this is war, this is obviously on a completely different scale. Yes, it is misguided idiots, but all I am saying was that it was bound sure to happen. I don't condone any abuse on...

    Abuse at Preston??

    There was hardly an ounce of respect during the miners strike, NW, trust me. I worked through it. I was on the staff and we were not in the NUM and not on strike, but I saw every day the lack of respect and bitterness and anger and spitting and fighting and name calling, from people who were...

    Abuse at Preston??

    I worked in the coal industry and lived through all this, with the scabs etc. I saw families literally torn apart, i.e. there was one family where the dad and 3 sons all worked together. The strike happened. 3 (the dad and 2 sons, striked), the 3rd son worked. Then after a few months one of the...
