..and then they have to sort out a couple of matters before "total agreement".  

WTF?  

http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/display.var.1911669.0.conditional_agreement_for_town_by_midday.php

I thought it was 100% going ahead this morning.  Or is this not how it works?  I wonder what these couple of small matters are?

Hmmmm - not sure I like the sound of that?  :|

this is impossible, I am so pissed off now.

Oh FFS

I'm not sure how I read it, Wray doesn't seem bothered, but this molehills tend to turn into mountains at STFC!

Back to crossing the fingers for me.

'minor paperwork' again. This is really shit but not surprising

the board are wankers..still hoping though

This is truly unbelievable. And midday as well - GET ON WITH IT!! There should be no more conditions now after all this time!!

Can't take much more of this... Come on boys, just sign!!

Oh dear.

Note to the Adver: the wait is NOT over.

What the hell can be the minor paperwork? let us know so we can finally rest, why conditional, will you walk away? this is fucking killing me!

Conditional on what? I thought it had all been agreed -'no outstanding issues' and just the wording needed to be sorted

Jesus fuckng christ. Are we ever going to get through this hell like experience. It's fucking hard this being a supporter malarkey, never known anything like it.

Thing is...its not small condition...its small conditions so its not just 1 its more than 1, possibly the 3 from Saturday still?

For sure. I can't think of any other club of our size thats put their supporters through so much gash in the last 10 years.

Conditional on Mick the Greek never coming within 10 miles of the County Ground ever again, all will be OK just Andy Cryer doing his usual mis-representation he really is a red top wannabee

So yesterday it was down to getting the paperwork from A to B, now it's conditional subject to a couple of minor issues.

Ummm, the pessimist in me has reared it's ugly head again!!

Bah humbug.

Whoah there peeps...its probably conditional as nothing hasn't been signed yet. They are just waiting for signatures. Yes it can fall through, and I won't beleive it til its official, but lets try and remain positive.

Read in my paper this morning that Ipswich Town completed their takeover last night.  400 fans gathered in the town's Corn Exchange to witness the signing.  No messing.  They just got on with it.

From what I have heard, this is how Andrew Fitton likes to do his business.  Keep praying, people.  The Diamanditic Era (2001-07) - characterised by deception, mediocrity and malaise - is drawing to a close.  Hopefully.

You may have a point as there are no direct quotes, other than Wray saying he'll be at his desk tomorrow.

What a suprise- more issues.

Would love to be wrong but cannot ever see it happening, not with diamond involved

Stop being such doom merchants this will happen, it is almost like some people want it to fail as they will have nothing to moan about just chill out.

What will you do if/when it does go through Bart? I mean, you won't have anything to post about then will you?

I think you're being very hard on Andy Cryer.  He may jump the gun from time to time, but I'd take Cryer over Ritson any day.  Do you remember how little was reported on the boardroom chaos 12 months ago - despite all the anger on the message boards?

Cryer had the balls to stand up to Diamandis, Wills and Holt where Ritson did not.  I think we all owe him something.

Well I suppose its like buying a house

I think it's more to do with we've all been here before many many times

Exactly how many bloody false dawns have we had?

Every time we get close to any deal more "issues"arise, when we were told that Saturday pm all was sorted. No wonder we are cynical

Not saying he is doing a bad job as there is far more info then there ever was under Ritson, but he does like to sensationalise and mis-represent, the classic was sunday night it is all off followed an hour later by it is all on. All I am saying is take this latest headline with a pinch of salt, he is probably chuckling to himself like the mischievous Brizzle City fan he is at all the messages on thisisstfc in reply to his article.

The way I read it is that it's conditional on the current owners fulfilling some requirement before it all being officially completed.

Spot on Ossie, don't understand why Cryer's coming in for so much jip recently.  I think he's done well, and as Ardiles says much better job than Ritson, who seemed to concentrate on getting in stupid comments in to his reports.

Cryer is paid to write sensational jouralism, I dont blame him if hes making a mountain out of a molehill..thats his job! he isnt paid to write stories that dont sell papers, but he is a bit of a doom and gloom merchant concerning the club....due to him being a Bizzle Shitty fan maybe? stirring it up a bit?

Cant say I blame him, I would do the same if I worked reporting on them!

As for pessimism....I thought it was pretty much part of the job description of being a Town fan!

And I will only believe it is don when it is in black and white, until then I am on edge and this does not help it when we get stories like this come out.

It's not Cryer's job to promote the football club.  If he gets wind of a problem it's his job to report it as such.  It's not unthinkable that the deal swang from being completely on to being all but off and back again in a few hours.  With it being so close either way I'm sure it did go like that

Note this bit..

"The guy we are putting in as chief executive has already been at the club and he will hit the ground running.

Could it be Mark Devlin. Hopefully NOT one of the current lot, though it reads HAS been at the club, so baited breath on that one

I understood that as being he has been at the club to look around and put down some feelers about the new position...not so much as "used to work" at the club.

I think that ment shown round the club, rather than previously worked at the club. Perhaps it is someone with Chief Exec experience at a FC though.

Whenever I read the word conditional, I pooh myself.

The man from brentford perhaps??

The man from Del Monte?

There is probably a very good chance that the new man has no football experience but is from a totally unconnected industry as I get the feeling that Mr Fitton wishes for the club to be run as a business first, and I think that having been a CE of a football club is not a prerequisite of the job.

At the end of the day one company is much like another company....its all about running a company successfully, not neccessarily being run specifically as a successful football club.

It could well be conditional on the consortium delivering £Xm into the clubs bank account be tomorrow night.

Obviously the consortium do not want to pay until the agreement is signed.

So both parties sign now, but if the funds don't arrive the contract has no validity.

Absolutely.  Commercial rigour is what this club needs before anything else.  Madejski brought that to Reading, and I really hope Fitton is going to do the same for us.

Or conditional on the current board handing back their STFC chequebooks.  I'm staying optimistic and believing "minor issues "are really minor this time

The fact that Andy supports Bristol city has fuck all to do with what he writes . He does a interview they tell him what is happening and he tries to update people straight away.

Its that bloke from Brentford - he arrived Monday

im sorry tho conditional agreement is not enough to get me to the match on Saturday ( and yes I DO have a season ticket!)

Don't think I'm going to get much done at work this morning.

like them going out to some office and nicking 1m worth of pens and pencils before they go.

Surely we're not expecting this to drag on all week?  This should not effect Saturday's match.

So is it likely to be sorted today ?

Like Sunday night when Fitton rang him at 10pm and said the deal is off and then rang him back at 11pm to say the deal is back on , he guessed and was then put straight.I dont blame Andy Cryer he is only doing his job and at least he has challenged the existing board but I really think people need to get a grip when he posts articles like this mornings , I think wokingham red is nearer the mark but that would not have made such a commotion.

definitley.

If Fitton can do to us what Madejski did/is doing with Reading i'll be extremely happy.

Certainly they gained more income, but they were not a particularly well run club. Before they dragged their Mockney arses into the prem, they were losing £100k per month.

That looks ace. :--

If the owners of a company can afford to lose that amount per month then there's no problem, they're still managing the club well.  It's when they can't afford to lose £100k it becomes a problem.

Sombebody on this is posted that it is all quite normal for this "conditional agreement" thingy.

I don't usually pay much attention to them on there but what he says makes sense.

I told myself I wasn't going to check the adver site again until 11am. Ah well, half ten's not bad I suppose. I can't concentrate...

The conditional agreement will be conditional on the current board getting paid for shares etc etc. It's just another stage. Don't worry!

Absolutely Rob. All Andy Cryer's doing is reporting the facts as he gets them. If Wray or Fitton speaks to him and says "yes, it's all going ahead" then he's going to report it isn't he? And in fact we'd complain if he didn't. Similarly if certain individuals then seemingly put a spanner in the works, that doesn't make Andy Cryer a doom merchant if he reports that. It's not his or the Adver's fault that the reporting has swung from one way to another - that's because the story has. This thing's been off and on more often than a whore's knickers over the past week.

What he said! Is it? Does anyone have a grasp on what the hell is going on? There is so little information in the most recent Adver article. The only thing that has changed from the earlier piece, or what was said on Radio Wilts this morning, is the addition of the word "conditional". If that's worth a new story there must be some substance behind it, no?

Why won't these bastards just fuck off?

This is gonna happen. I feel quite relaxed about it now. At midday we should have confirmation of some sort of contract signing. :beers:

They can't even fucking leave properly. Is there anything these idiots can't cock up?

Why have the removal vans been sent to the City Ground instead?

Perhaps as Bob Holt says it's just like buying a house, the conditional agreement is like exchange - committing yourself to purchase -  waiting for the money to be transfered as in completion.

I hope so anyway, it's all too tense and my F5 button is taking quite a hammering

The conditional is referring to agreement from all shareholders that the deal is ratified, so the contract will be signed today the main thing is that Wills and MD sign the deal which according to Radio Swindon will happen at lunchtime

But this sentence hints at more:

"He added that both parties were working hard on the small conditions that remained to see the deal through to completion."

can someone update anything form RS, they seem most up to date on all this. Anybdoy going to wave off Diamandis?

RS says conditional deal to be signed within then next hour with 2 outstanding issues to be resolved for a full takeover tomorrow morning.

Radio Swindon's 11am bulletin said the conditional deal *would* (not could) be signed at midday

trouble is that this is like "subject to contract" .. youre just waiting for Mikey to turn around and say actually ive changed my mind

So now it's gonna be completed tomorrow...

FFS. What's the betting that tomorrow it will become end of the week?

So now it's gonna be completed tomorrow...

FFS. What's the betting that tomorrow it will become end of the week?

do we know what the new consortiums plans are btw?? issues such as relocation come to mind

well if these minor issues are signed this lunchtime, can the main contract be signed after, thus having it complete today?!

or doesn't it work like that

They are not going to announce anything like that until the deal is signed and sealed, more chance of getting something from AF than we have had in the past.

i think there is a gap when a conditional agreemenr is signed and then funds are transferred etc before the final contract is signed. or something.

Its not like buying a house you know!! :D

 :soapy tit wank:

i hope there isn,t an avalanche at 11.55am today. :?

What he said, errrrm I think.

but if Wray had stated that it was going to complete today would the lawyers not have got funds in place ready to move accross.

So it could still be complete today or does there have to be a specific amount of time between contract being signed before anything can be released?

It's definitely more than waiting for the transfer of funds. Both the Adver and Radio Wilts are reporting that there are still unresolved issues. This is no time for chicken-counting... even a conditional agreement would seem pretty worthless to me when dealing with this lot.

How have I ended up in such a bad mood just hours into a day I was hoping would be such a happy one?

Because we have an asshole as a general manager-dont bet against him putting a spanner in at this late stage

plan b

 :wall:  :groan1:  :rain:  :shake:  :nono:  :shhh

To be fair to Fatters, we don't know a lot about their plans for the club.

I feel a fans forum coming on!

I've got four chickens.

We don't Jan but you cant help feel that Fatters and Bart will be hoping that they do something wrong so they can jump in the boardroom bit and post the same old bullshit.  Since this takeover has been on the brink of completion we have not seen one positive post from Bart or Fatbury saying great lets look to the future all they have done is read what they want to read in statements and insist on everything going pear shaped.  Its become tiresome to say the least.

I feel a critical error coming on. That'd be a bugger today.

the plan is to save it.

yep .. i mean if they say we are relocating to Chippenham then the fans will be up in arms again ... im not saying they will mind u

20 mins to go.

nooooo, don't jinx it.

It's already gone a couple of times for me in the past 20 minutes

I know what you're saying mate, Bart especially has been quite repetitive since, what feels like, Bodin's penalty in 93.  But you're never gonna change Bart or Fatters.

I for one am just hoping that this goes through, the thought of losing Town is unbearable, if we have more hurdles in fron tof us fair enough, but this is the biggie we need to get over first.

16 mins to go!

15 mins

14.

check out the list of browsers.12 mins.

The lack of activity on the Rivals board makes it necessary for me to seek refuge over here. The clock's ticking.... I feel sick.

Do we reckon they'll actually put anything up at midday or are we going to have a mad panic for 20 mins when we can't find out anything?

11

it has said they'll sign it at midday, when it's reported is anyones guess.

9

You're jumping the gun on 9 there Axs ... it's still 11.50

What a time to join us Greenwich, it's gonna be an interesting afternoon one way or the other!!

Just watching premiership years on sky sports xtra 93-94 season just shown Liverpool 2 2 Swindon , it would be so nice to have a team half as decent as that one some great memories just hope Mr f can rekindle the fire

Welcome to the madhouse Greenwich...less than 10 mins to go...

We're not gonna here much for a while.

I'm off to the toilet, it's safe in there!

Couldn't agree more I hope that today we can finally celebrate the departure of those clowns and a brighter future  :beers:

You might even say a 'mean time'

my watch is fast.

2

Thats because leroy and riddel haven't worked out how to use the pile of poo

Is the statement being broadcast live on Brunel or on BBC Swindon radio?

I went to that. Great days :old:

Oi Diamond Mike ...

We can see you sneaking out ... we can see you we can see you ... we can see you sneaking out ...

I'm almost positive that nothing will be put on any of the websites for a little while.

Who said there'd be a live statement???

probably get signed by the slowest writing longest name person in the world.6 mins

8 minutes.

i wonder if diamandis has a middle name or 6.

5

Quite an iconic countdown. Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended at the end of it?!

i'd laugh.

I'm sure an ironic smile would pass all our lips second before being engulfed in a fireball ...

:soapy tit wank:

I doubt any of us would really be all that surprised

Boom boom. Laughing at that has brought the sickness well and truly to the surface. I don't reckon we'll actually hear anything for a while.

hope there,s no injury time

I can't stand the tension. I'm going for a dump.

bet no one,s got a pen

they have already been sold :mrgreen:

What have I missed?

1 min

the world is ending right about now. or they are signing. who knows.

Big Ben has chimed!!

Someone on thisis says that RS reporting that it will now be signed within the next 2 hours!!!

nothing i knew it :evil:

It's bollocks - they said "about now"

2 hours to go then

this is fucking nuts! i was waiting for earth to explode for a minute there!

yea they said should be signed in mins

I got a critical error bang on 12!!  Class.

I did too!! :D

i had one too

and me.

1 hour 52

100 people press refresh at the same time.

This 2 hour thing is a wind up right?

I mean this is getting a bit silly now.

Do you think they're all sat at the CG on the net, reading this thread?  Bet they're having a right laugh! (at our expense).

time for a refreshing change

time for a refreshment.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: if i was them i'd do it, would be funny as fuck.

No - it's bollocks. Radio Swindon didn't say it. Someone is on a wind up.

Or, do what i do, open 10 or more tabs in Firefox, all pointing to the same page, then repeat with 10 windows of Firefox, then leave all 100 tabs on autorefresh every 5 seconds.

That normally manages to take the forum down quite easily.  :beers:

Sorry my fault.

This thread could go on a bit, do we start again from 120 minutes?

i,m not going to work untill 2.30 so the delay is much welcomed,making the morning a bit more interesting

Booo!

So they must be signing it. It wouldn't really surprise me if took SSW 20 or so minutes to sign his own name.

I'd just like to point out its not me on a wind-up - I just took that straight from the thisis forum (although I shouldn't really have believed it in the 1st place anyway!!)!!  :roll:

aren't you supposed to be fixing the problems not causing them?!

have to say it's not been too bad today.

conditional agreement's are a standard practice I believe in business.

It's nice you have faith :D

Nooooooooooooo it's bollocks - nobody said it!

It's being signed now.

After 11 pages of internet ramblings, I think we had already gathered that Gazzza!!

But how do you know?

Are you the real Mike D???   :wink:

The 2 hour thing was just Mark O'Donnell saying that BBC RS expect to announce the signing sometime during his show which is on for 2 hours from 12:00.

I think we will hear something at 12.38 and 42 seconds!  8)

Anyone else miss the countdown?? That was a great bit of the thread :(

yes the sound of hundreds of F5 buttons being pushed.

26 minutes and you're nostalgic already!

Ive been busy at work so havent read the other 11 pages. assumed after the first page its all doom and gloom!

Of course there's the not inconsiderable honour of who will be the first to post the news on the mighty TEF and thus gain a place in the TEF hall of fame 8) ...not that you lot had thought of that of course :wink:

28 now.  8)

No Gazza you did not start the thread this time :wink:

RS just said Ed is witnessing it!!!

oooh lucky Ed , I bet he cums

Deal is off due to Hadwin sticking the pages together :D

hopefully not on the document though.

its laminated!

They just told Points West it's due in the next 30 mins

That must be the sticking point ...

29

On the documents??

Great, another minor setback...

28

Ed gets exited i would not say it was minor

What, like a marriage? Jesus, this really is a bloody soap opera isn't it. Expect the signing to be delayed when the bride's long lost Mexican cousin turns up at the last minute to say she can't get married because she's a pre-op transexual and, unbeknownst to her, the Mexican cousin's son!

Although I suppose it is fitting that this board's reign should end in a shambles of confusion

Come on Gazz, we're all "busy at work" can't you tell??

Are we counting down from half 12, or 12.33 when Terry made the post?

My work would be so boring if it wasn't for this thread today.

35 mins thats a long signiture

How are they going to sign a lamenated document?

Dont be so fucking ridiulous :D

Fucking hell this is ace!!

Better than match day threads this.

Paul D, are you saying that Mex does have a significant role to play in this takeover after all?

permanent felt tip pen duh  :wink:

Laminated that means that Mike can rub the signatures off after it signed, devious sod!

is that Lamberts new nick-name?

edit: i swear gazza's post said felt-tip ben originally. i'm losing it.

Maybe they laminated it accidently and that's why its taking so long?

Whatever it is I blame Michael Pook.

havent paid the laminating company yet so they wont give them the contract back!

its so that Diamandis can rub it out if he spells his name wrong

I blame bart!

Does the signing include them little flags like they use at the UN, I bet it does that is so exciting!!

I am not sure if it has been mentioned on here, but hats off the the poster on Thisis who is suing the name Robin Greek.... Inspired!

takeover off due to lamination

Why is he suing the name  for?

Why is he suing a name . That would be pointless he wont get a penny

Ok so I am fucking illiterate

Ooooo lovely, bit of george thornby on RS! 8)

Yes, it turns out Mex is the sinister svengali figure who has been manipulating this whole scenario all along. We have recently discovered he has bought a white cat and has plans to install a fishpond full of pirahnas (with retractable bridge) in the boardroom.

Crap, I've got to do a telephone interview at 1.00 so I'm going to miss the end of the countdown. Although then we get into the waiting for the actual completion to be done - conditional don't mean jack, folks.

who the fuck is George Thornby?

So am i would you like to meet up for a drink we can console eachother

anyone else notice that the time stamps on the posts are two hours fast, or am i just two hours behind and missed everything ?

If i see the boobs face one more time on the OS im gonna go mad! My F5 is taking a hell of a bashing today!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

They're playing a song in dedication to Diamandis, how sweet :D

when im cleaning windows?

I think he meant George Formby :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

When Im cleaning windows :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

lonely this christmas?

same thing  :D

I thought he did, but didn't want to doubt the lad!!

George Thornby!

Indeed Axs

JUSTSIGNOVERTHECLUBANDFUCKOFFYOUCUNTS!

I feel just a tiny bit better for that, thanks for the platform.

now jump off it!

succinct. i like it.

you cheap lazy faggot....

 :mrgreen:

:D

now they're arguing about using the word 'faggot'. :-))(

Get the impression that rs are getting a little excited by saying slut and faggot on air  :D

So is Ed H actually witnessing the thing at the moment, or are they still just repeating their vows?

Ed's forgot the ring! Silly Ed!

They're up to the kiss the bride bit, but no-one wants to kiss Mike.

fucking hell i get a critical error and come back to 6 new pages  :shock:

obviously there is no new thread so fuck all has happend

:shock:  they just said the n word on the radio pre-watershed!!!!!!

nipples?

Oh shit - I've got a team meeting in 5 minutes I'd completely forgotten about!!!  :o

Hopefully I'll come back to some good news!!

I think loads of people have copied his name and signature in various forms and are writing amusing posts and pretending to be him.

:D

this thread is old news now. only losers post on here from now on.

bloody poxford fans

Someone on thisis has posted Mike is holding things up.

what are the thisis lot saying on their forum? bet they are shitting bricks!

From this is site

text received - diamond mike is now on his way to the CG - watch this space. Alternatively you can meet him there to make your feelings known. Wray is also arriving at the CG shortly around 1.30pm. The new chief executive is already there.

If not signed by 3pm - it's likely to fall through. I'm hopeful Diamond Mike will sign, he is still more concerned about his families health rather than the money - believe it or not?.

Ace lets keep threatening his family so he signs! :D

I've driven into the side of him...

It's that Jeffrey, he's a knob.

So the deal was due to be signed at mid day but Wray's only getting there for 1.30.  So what has Ed Hadwin been witnessing for the last 65 minutes?

Exactly

Ed is handing out copies of The Watchtower.

I'm off to lunch this is getting stupid now.

He has a side?! He looked round to me.

Come on janaage, it came from thisis, and therefore it must be true!

i bet he's been looking around a lot recently. mainly over his shoulder and at his lawn.

Oh come on..........

It came from Radio Swindon

Im not gonna use the new thread. Bloody splitters! :mrgreen:

So you don't know how to use tabbed browsing then?

wrey will speak to rs once deal is signed!

Ed Hadwin sounds pretty convinced that it is going happen very shortly, seems the Lawyers are just going through with a fine tooth comb.
No one at the CG all happening remotely so STFC jeffrey was a load of bollcoks.

I think this is a good idea, they will pick up the bit where Mike D has added in pencil 'and give Mike Diamandis 1 billion pounds'!!

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

 :D

RS to announce a soon as the deal is done and Jeremy Wray will be on the radio. :D

I hope it was bollocks. I shat myself when i just saw that thread. I had a bad feeling about today and i thought that it was coming true.

They have been saying this since 9.00 this am!

Do you not think it was signed hours ago and Radio Swindon are dragging this out as I bet they havent had this many listeners for years!

nice idea!

oh, for fucks sake - just picked up a packet of walkers crisps thinking they were smokey bacon, and they are bloody ready salted.  Since when have ready salted been brownish ?!  they should be the same colour as a swindon shirt, readdish brown is the unique domain for smokey bacon.

If thats the only concern you have at the moment mate, count yourself lucky!

no its not the only one, merely adding unecessarily to them !

I'm not going to another game until Fittons gone. ... thought I'd say it before another one of our fickle fans.

I go to lunch and suddenly there's a new deadline???

WTF is going on!!

This takeover is becoming a farce.  I hope Mr Fitton's mobile's going crazy on his hols, his Mrs will be giving him grief!!

So what happened while I was doing the phone interview? Bugger all perchance?

No-ones at the club, its with solicitors and they're sorting it all out via e-mail. No deadline set according to RS, but the adver reckon 3pm apparently.

so nothing is actually being physically signed then, if its all by email - unless MD has very long arms.  balls to this, think i'll do some work

This has all become very tiresome. Freecell it is then.

Sign and scan then email back, modern technology sir.

Emails are legally binding, Im led to believe. :?

They're legally binding in most cases, but my mate has assured me that the dealy is because Mike D is trying to sign the document using  "   8)   " when Wray thinks it should be "   :wanker:   "

really ?  Well, fetch me a piece of acetate, an OHP pen and photocopier !

I believe in miracles... :\/

It's a sign I tell thee!!

according to STFCjeffery it was a request by MD

Jeffrey.......he's just a fucking wind up merchent.

You mean the same guy that said it was already signed? :roll:

Emails are legally binding, the senders Email address is considered a signature alone. And should any questions be raised over the validiy, then the IP address is used as confirmation!

I know that I do, I knows it!

Please don't listen to him, everything he says he's made up.

i find it quite amusing listening to him.

lightens my mood as i can't get annoyed at the radio cos my work has blocked it

APPARENTLY!!! it'll be on the 4pm news.

this is great. you can but laugh at all these deadlines tec etc

that sounds bonkers to me, it can't be that hard to forge, but what do I know !

Ahhhhhhh - how frustrating is this, 12.00 you keep checking...3.00 you keep checking and still bloody nothing

I can't do any work until I know it's signed..... :old:

soapy tit wank, i've never heard so much shit, the amount of times he has been wrong today is unbelievable.

Says who Magic, not this bloody Jeffrey bloke?

when Bart says it ill believe it  :wink:

Sure, somebody else could send an Email should they know your password, but then somebody could also forge a signature!!!!!

What's more is that the IP address could possibly prove that an Email is a forgery, if the sender was not at that physical location at the time. Just like a calligraphy expert may be called in to prove the validity of a signature.

yeah. it's a laugh a minute on thisis.
this site keeps crashing on me so i've gone to the darkside for info.

it's all true though. honest

That Jeffrey says he has his life (not that he has one) on this. So if he is wrong we can all go and beat him to death?

'Dire Straits'...Are they taking the piss?

Should have been "money for nothing" not this one!!

i wish i had the radio too. these song choices are great

When it first came on, I thought it was 'Your latest trick'.....

That would have worried me...

They must be doing it deliberatley!

Rock the Boat....  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I don't get it   :|

So Far Away would be more apt by Dire Straits!!

If this fucking deal doesn't get signed today i will fear the worst......this is well beyond a fucking joke now......get the fucking thing signed now you bastards....... :evil:

Then we set sailing with a cargo full of LOVE AND DEVOTION!!!!!!! :\/  :\/  :\/

SHHHHHHHHH!!!!

The news is on.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Well done Nick Clegg, terrible about Pogues lyrics..........

Salisbury woman "satifactory" even though her left arm was amputated!!  I would hardly say that's satisfactory!!

Next....

i wish i had the radio  :(

I really don't think they are gonna announce it....

No you don't Magic, you really don't.

Let's talk about mundane news blah blah blah.

Give us the news we want to hear you a-holes!

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Latest (not much though I'm afraid)

RS "Swindon fans still waiting".

Document not agreed by both sides - oh feck, as Father Ted would say!!!

She says documents haven't been agreed by both sides.

STFC Jeffrey can fuck right off.

Wish they would go out on a limb and tell us about the takeover

I'd love to have a giggle, but my sense of humour is rapidly disappearing and being replaced with mild rage.

i do cos i'm getting no work done and all i'm doing is hitting F5 and the getting CRITICAL ERROR. thus leading me to swap to thisis for info and listen to Zippy's shit whilst waiting for this to refresh.

it's doing my fucking head in

Oh go on its armless fun

I'd like to dedicate this song to Miss S Gray.

:thumbs:  :lol2:

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Youv'e gotta hand it to her though.

This is getting very very boring

TTTTUUUUUUUNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE 8)

i dont feel like dancing!! fucking right with this takeover still going on

In an Andy Millman style "Are you having a laugh, is he having a laugh?"

At what point can we stab people

now.

I love this tune!!

Can someone stab that Jeffrey kj?  Tails punch him in the face next time you see him - what a c0ck.  Does he think he's funny or something?

Chants could be heard of 'one army'

Thats poor, even by your standards!!! :soapy tit wank:

Off topic.

Watching the Simpson's at the Mo.

Bart runs away and so Homer wants to call the police, so Homer picks up the phone, calls direct enquiries and:

"Give me the number for 911"

Oh yeah, football!

I have on my desk a yellow carrier bag with three artifical robins contained, a half bottle of Czar vodka, three BlackBerries, an assortment of post it notes and a can of diet coke.

i have a nearly empty wine bottle, lots of poker chips a plate a mug and a laptop. and my doorbell.

Sport on RS in a couple of mins

Still not signed.

Wait for the new deadline.....

I've resigned myself to waiting until tomorrow now.

maybe diamond mike is trying to hang on for the tozer deal to go thro so he can get his hands on more money

for fucks sake please just fuck off.  :emo:

According to the official website-the pensioners christmas fucking party is more important!

This is all getting on my fucking tits so much now. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :suicide:

Don't buy into that, don't see how when we owe so much to creditors Mike D can hang around until thetozer deal goes through so he can swan off into the sunset with a brief case full of cash.  Surely it doesn't work like that.

he's finished the job and now he's off!

sorry, i can't be arsed reading 22 pages - can someone give me the cliffnotes ta.

I have had to resort to installing an extension for Firefox that refreshes the page automatically as I am getting RSI hitting F5

Adver now carrying exclusive pictures of the club's crack top-flight legal team hard at work on negotiations to get the deal completed today

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/javaImages/bf/6e/0,,10341~3501759,00.jpg

that picture is a classic, the old bloke looks absolutely chuffed.

The last few weeks have been hard on Fred by the look of it !

Will be this confirmed this morning, afternoon, 3 P.M., 5 P.M.

YAY!!!!!

Oh!!!!

God this Lib Dem guy is a boring cunt

huh what sorry? i nodded off. oh i hear kirsty macoll is offensive still.

Only to look at, her lyrics are fine.

Oh!!!, And the Pogues crimbo song has had it's lyric's sensored by the beeb.

FFS whats the fucking cunting hold up now. certain idividuals trying to make more last minute changes, just FUCK OFF!

only by radio one. presumably because thats the station that every gay person listens to.

errr, what lyrics?

that's rubbish. i'm gonna listen to it now.

Mike who's a fag in Purton "says the Pogues song doesn't offend him or his slut of a boyfriend Trevor".  Thanks for that text Mike.

slag or slut or something and faggot.

"it's political correctness gone mad!!"

Fuck me i'm bored of that saying

My god. I just realised I was listening to BBC Wilts in stead of BBC Swindon. That was close.

Thank fuck for that I can sign off now radio 1 have back tracked :fu:

Jeeeez Christ

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/5/55/100px-Mr._Slave_2.jpg

apparently radio 1 have backtracked now.

damn fucking right. the other one i hate:

'It's like (whatever) on acid'

Im a scumbag but Im not offended by the song

agreed.

Wake up and smell the coffee :evil:

No! I hate the smell of coffee!!!

FFS! what time is the sport news on Radio Swindon?

It's on now, wait a minute, it's finished, now the weather,

Was that it not even talking to Ed Hadwin for an update

still nothing then

i wish they wouldn't start headlines with 'An agreement has been reached..' only to find out its about some fucking waterside development somewhere.

coming up next:

Sign your name, by Terrence Trent D'arby

Yeah, a water-slide development would be much more interesting.

Wheeeeeeeee.

Agreed ... particularly when they also mention £90 million!!  :shock:

Radio Swindon (Deep voice) TRAVEL!!

and pronounced the word debris wrong - we're not American :evil:

Ha ha, class, the two ladies have given us the brush off!!  Story of my life.

no i'm not having fucking fun Noddy, now do one you caaaaant.

Nothing new. Cunts. :x

This is getting ridiculous - I'd now like an honest answer on what the hold up is, there must be some problem with the paperwork for it to take this long..I'm getting worried that Diamandis has scuppered this at the last minute

Right. I am leaving work now. By the time I go home, via the petrol station and switch on my PC it should be about 6.15 by which time I expect there to be some news! :-))(

I think you can safely say that Diamandis is at work again

I hope that was Bob Holt who just got ran over on his way to burger king.

Me too. I woke up this morning with a bad feeling about all this and it's proving right so far  :(

which one? his one at STFC or dunwoody?

i thought he meant Burger King.

i was enjoying being a pedant

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  I think you can safely say Bart's fishing again :D

and i was having a joke mr B

i know mr S  :)

brian melt, been staring at the screen too long.

In the morning are you joking

I'm close to doing a Bart-esque post.

 Is that brian from larkhill?

  This thread is the first apart from "the longest thread ever" that I've been unable to bring myself to read.  Am I missing anything?

This is beyond a joke now, Diamond Mike has probably got this forum up on a big projector screen and is w@nking off to it :wanker:

SIGN THE FUCKING DEAL YOU INEPT CUNTS. I'VE BEEN ONLINE FOR 10-FUCKING-HOURS WAITING FOR YOU TO GET YOUR SORRY ARSES IN GEAR. SORT IT OUT!

And breathe. That's better.

no read mine

Thing is we don't know if it's been signed of not. It's the lack of info that's bothering me more than anything. It could be that it's signed but Fitton and Wray won't announce it until tomorrow. I hope i'm right.

Update: This evening maybe -  from Gazette and Herald



http://www.gazetteandherald.co.uk/sport/swindontown/news/display.var.1913875.0.minutes_tick_by_for_robins_fans.php

Absolutely nothing Reg. The only thing missing are tens of thousands of working hours in the UK economy from today.

Surely it should have been signed by now? if there was a minor issue it would have been sorted......i hope this isn't going to fall through.

Good night people , can sum1 text me please

Well i think we are getting a little paranoid. I'm still hopeful but i do have doubts. I guess given the track record on takeovers we are all a bit worried.

that's a wonderful quote

BBC RS just plugged Rich's gig on Friday  :D

 :soapy tit wank:  Ace what did they say?  8)

Now i want them to tell us WTF is going on  :evil:

Not a lot really, just said if you're looking for some live music on Friday night then Thorne are playing at the Old Bell.

Message to Diamond Mike

παρακαλώ θα αφήσετε αυτήν την λέσχη μόνη πηγαίνετε τώρα εσείς χυδαίο άτομο. Οι λέξεις δεν μπορούν να περιγράψουν τι ανεμιστήρες σκεφτόμαστε σας, κάνουμε μας όλοι μια εύνοια και πηγαίνουμε και παίζουμε στη γρήγορη πάροδο M4, με έχετε παραιτηθεί από στο άκουσμα στο γρηγορότερο γάλα στη δύση εσείς νόθοι

i'm seriously fucked off.

i left work at 4:50 and hoped by now i'd have good news to read but alas this is STFC here and once again we're being fucked over as usual.

Wray, you said on monday that you didn't want to say Monday night incase it went beyond that so you said Tuesday lunchtime. Well now it is tuesday evening and we've been fed an absolute load of shit so please what the fuck is going on.

For those who can't read Greek:

I request you will leave this club alone you go now you hydaj'o individual. The words cannot describe which fans we thought you, make us all a favour and we go and play in fast byway M4, with you have resigned from in the hearing in the faster milk in the west you illegitimate

it was actually

will you please leave this club alone go now you vile man. Words can not describe what us fans think of you, do us all a favour and go and play on the fast lane of the M4, you have resigned me to listening to the fastest milk in the west you bastard

Indeed. Hopefully we some people down there  :D

Didn't think I said 100% convinced, although I may well have done. I do think it will happen but let's be honest it wouldn't be right if this lot just managed to complete in a professional, business-like manner would it? Their whole reign has been an incompetent, chaotic shambles, it's only right they should sign off like that. Actually, that should be their epitaph "They couldn't even fuck off properly"

There's one for your next interview!  :D

Tee hee  :)

I like it when foreigners speak. Blah blah blah.......M4.....Blah blah.  :mrgreen:

gutted in a 10 til 12 meeting then off out to Marlborough for our team christmas lunch, so if anything happens today (which it won't) I won't be able to sit here watching nothing but 28 pages of rubbish appear, as if by magic.

If anything happens Ill text you. And then you can get horrendously drunk at your party to celebrate, and then shag the office hottie in the stationary cupboard :mrgreen:  :beers:

Office hottie's at Zurich?!?! Pull the other one!

Office hottie in my team you have to be joking!!

But cheers STA any info would be gladly received!!

Can't see much occuring today though, pessimism rules.
