was a tad upset, handing his season ticket back to the club. Citing poor performances and lack of team spirit for his gripe.
The club declined to comment, as per page two of the Adver.
I can't blame him, if I'm honest.

What a knob, bet he went back the day after asking for his merchandise back

Really? As previously stated, what an absolute weapon and an embarrassment to the club and the town. He reckons he's been a fan for years? Jeez, surprised he survived the early 2000s - admin, Diamandis, Colin Todd - without throwing himself off a bridge.

Prick.

I doubt anyone laughed at him in the face of such a hard-hitting and bold statement. Most attempts fans have at making a stand of this nature come across as cringy, pathetic and melodramatic.

What a cunt. Good riddance.

Hope he's never allowed back.

I get why people occasionally have a bit of a momentary breakdown.

But the fact that the guy went home, collected more merchandise, then walked back to the CG to throw it at the stadium suggests he genuinely didn't sober up and realise he was being a bit of a tit, and then giving interviews... I think I'd just keep my head down in the circumstances.

What does it actually achieve the guy has already bought his season ticket and the £1,000's of pounds worth of merchandise, he has now returned to the lub and they can sell it again win win I suppose for all!

I assume this is the guy who was on BBC Wiltshire so he has also had his 5 minutes of fame...

He's gonna feel a right twat when we recover and win the league.

Classy Swindon folk.

I'm trying to be outraged, but I can't help but find it a bit funny.

In fairness I've got as far as throwing my shirt in the bin and swearing never to go back (Cheltenham away under King). Lasted a good few hours.

Tuesday's starting 11 was miles worse than that team.

I've never been angry at football.

I think we should have a chant of 'Are you at watching Albert Brind' when we next win....

He is like our own version of Ronnie Pickering?

who ;)

And that's the thing...we will recover, at some point.  He's going to feel like a complete spanner when it happens.

I'll bet he had the full kit as well.

You know garrulous fella who used to commentate on athletics on the Beeb.  I was once at the English Schools athletics finals (don't ask) and Ron was there with his son who was competing in the shot putt or was it discus, anyway talk about competitive dad...poor kid didn't stand a chance.

Oh as if anyone's going to remember his name in 2017.

I reckon inept and crass is Albert Brind. It makes a lot of sense.

What would a £1000 of merchandise consist of?
Ist not 3rd flags.Foam hands,silly hats . .
He must of collected some right ol tat imo.

A banner

Maybe when the "can't pay? We'll take it away" programme turns up next time we can pay our debts in tat??

It's very easy to support the team when they're doing well.

If he was a pup, I may understand his ridiculous decisions.
But he's clearly in his 50's and should just grow the fuck up, what an absolute thundercunt.

I'll be there tomorrow, I expect us to lose.
If we do, it's not the end of the world, because STFC isn't the most important thing in my life, it's just football.

Attention seeking bellend.

Really?

That's very unfair.

I've always considered Ginginho to be pretty even handed and whilst outspoken to do it in a subtle, generally engaging manner?

This is a very valid point. 40 quid shirt, 2 quid stfc underpants. unless he's very incontinent how could he spend a grand? I've not spent half that in hmmmm4hhmhmhmommm years. either he's full on stupid, rich and stupid, or lying.



Or a mong

Bet he had a bedspread 8)

Well that definitely has resale value.

Does he seem like the type who might have picked a random, exaggerated figure out of thin air?

I got his Kim Wilde poster. I don't think he was in at the time.

Well done Albert for showing how you feel. ::)

Perhaps, just perhaps there are more people feeling as he does...

This almost must be one of the worst down turns in form STFC has had in recent years.

Coupled with the PR disasters with local media... and surely that is a worry ?

Suggest LP has one hell of a job rebuilding confidence within the club and community as a whole.

Good luck tomorrow.

COYMR's   

 One of the first things that Jeremy Corbyn did as LP leader was to flag up the need for more money to be spent on mental health...clearly Albert has had a breakdown and needs help. A caring owner would have invited Albert into the team huddle before the game today....I suspect Power votes Tory.

"Albert admits that he hankers for the glory days of the club under Italian football supremo Paolo Di Canio. "

Glory days ?

Quite.  Article suggests he's been watching since Macari...but I'm not so sure.  There's a lot else in there that suggests Albert's actually quite new to football.

Season tickets were probably much better to throw when they were a massive wadge of paper tickets, I imagine you could rip them all out and make a big show?
Chucking a plastic card at someone's probably not quite the same?

I'm tempted to throw last season's season ticket on the pitch after the next home surrender.

Is Jay doing a banner. "Where's Albert?"

They could do a sort of jumble sale of Alberts tat that he left in reception to raise funds for his banner?

Not me but Albert baby as shown more passion in a 5 minut outburst than this team (not in a literal sense) has done all season  ( bar the second half against Bradford)

Souvenir room? Get a fucking grip.

You should try going a bit more Fordy!!

Poor old Albert should of come on here.....had a fucking massive rant....get some abuse, some quite amusing...raises a smile...relax.

Works for me!

What a prize bellend

He has. And in so doing has neatly demonstrated why the English fan's obsession with "passion" is so ridiculous.

I've got to disagree with this. Passionless football has turned the county ground into a library. Devoid of atmosphere.
Nowt wrong with passion.

I was talking about on the pitch, not in the stands.

And so was I. No passion on the pitch eqauls no passion in the stands.

Rubbish. Passion is for the bedroom - you don't want players running round with an Albert Brind style red mist. You want players who are calm, confident, committed and under control. And the same on the touchline - the idea that players are "inspired" by some windmilling loon bellowing at them and threatening them for 90 minutes is ridiculous.

Crap, slow tempo football on the pitch = muted atmosphere

no doubt about it, the crowd need something to get them going ; opposition fans; good attacking football; a few good crunching tackles or a dodgy ref.

not really had any of that in this run. even the refs have given up being shit, shame the reds haven't

Yep. Never said otherwise. Passion does not equal tempo.

One big difference between last season and this is the lack of bookings. We racked them up every game last season.

Whether means anything

Ah, who the fuck cares, anyway

Quite how Albert's spectacular tantrum is a demonstration of passion remains a mystery to me. There's something peculiarly British about applying the word "passionate" to someone who will be spending their Saturday afternoons sitting in an empty room.

Until of course he executes a perfectly guiltless volte face once we string together a few wins.

Opening day of the 2003 season, a guy stormed down the Don Rogers when we conceded our 3rd against Sheffield Wednesday and threw his paper season ticket down on the touchline before storming off. About 5 minutes later he sheepishly came back and collected it. I wonder if that was Albert?

What would UEFA make of it. If booing is a crime, then abusing a matchday ticket must be a public flogging

It's only a crime if you boo the UEFA "anthem". If you're booing a black player for being black for example, or making monkey noises etc, that's perfectly fine.

I don't know about you but in my house the souvenir room doubles up as the downstairs shitter...

Someone did that in the Town End that day too.

I'd rather the players were like Ronnie Pickering

I remember the time that bloke climbed on top of the TE mid game :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I remember some bloke trying to get into the Bristol Rovers end from the bank, coppers came in so he climbed the tree at the back of the stand.

I bet "passionate" Albert wishes he was there today...

His stuff is in a box at reception I hear.

oh Albert, you stropped too early, too early...

Anagram

Rant Dribble

There's something strangely satisfying about an accurately descriptive anagram....

 :clap: :clap: :clap:

This is on par with David Ginola = Vagina dildo

Get men sore.

You have obviously never felt the desire in a railway carriage loo or at 38,000 feet then Mr Davis?

There's nothing like a tiny train cubicle with a pissy floor and shit covered toilet to give me a woody.

But nothing beats Colin Wanker

Neil Warnock

Haha

Pictured ripping up his STFC programme and now supports the Wildcats.

He will never admit it, but you can't compare Football experience to Ice Hockey. (plus Ice Hockey is expensive now too)

But just think of the new merchandise he can buy to fill the space in his life....

I managed to read a surprising amount of that article through my own palm.

What a tosser, just wants his five minutes of fame which it would appear that Wildcats/Advertiser have given him!!  I love his quote about the club have told him he can get his merchandise back whenever he wants but he thinks the club should do more for him!!  Fuck me, i have been unhappy about what has happened but I haven't thrown my toys out fo the pram . . . yet, just in case the club is thinking of giving a load of freebies away to disgruntled supporters!

Not exactly a lifelong flan now

Wonderful.
This is going to get old very quickly but for now I would like to thank you sir.

What will happen if the wildcats start losing?

The Wildcats who's owner just put his son in charge. From the frying pan into the fire with that one mate, good luck!

He was known for his STFCforever shirts??! Hmmmm??!
Anyway that article made me feel physically sick so thanks!

Come on then admit it; who's been coming up to him in the street in support?

Are people actually giving this cunt the time of day? Jesus..

Why has tails only got 38 posts?

But he did get a big foam hand, sure trumps STFC curtains!

Got sick of the moaners and quit. Then realized I had no one to moan about so came back to moan about the moaners again.

Wow.  From 'life-long fan' to 'Let's go Wildcats, let's go!' in the space of a fortnight.  That's quite a journey.

I'll be brutally honest.  I'm not sure that, deep down, Albert was ever much of a football man.

What a fucking deacon.

Cant say ive ever seen him at a game anyway.

Utter oxygen thief

What an absolute bell end this guy is and the Adver are no better for printing the shite

Makes you wonder if Reading FC had done the same and offered him free tickets if he's suddenly become a Royal and learn that wonderful song. I'd imagine so.

Christ I haven't heard that for years.

But the Adver would print anything that they perceived as getting back at the club assuming...

a) they don't actually have to make any effort to find or research the story; and

b) it doesn't involve any long words.

Let's be fair now. They struggle with short words as well.

Outstanding

Good start. How do we continue this ethnic cleansing business?

Now that, is the comeback of the year

Not a patch on mad Phil.
Now if he had thrown in the towel I would have turned my back on Swindon.

Throwback

I like the way he is wearing that foam hand with pride in that article.

Bahaha

How can anyone be that much of a dick and not realise

I'm reluctant to criticise him, until someone can confirm that he isn't a vulnerable adult

I couldn't give a shit about anyone who does something like this.  Why has it ended up in the press? It's a bit embarrassing really.

My internet is shit so the first words I read as the page flicked down was "burger king employee" I stopped reading then, As I think you might be on to something, he's not the full ticket I think.

I hope you did the arms..

so anyone that works at burger king or any other food outlet are in your opinion, not the full ticket,
have a word with yourself ::)

Well I'm taking my lovingly-assembled collection of Burger King nostalgia and dumping it at their door.

Never again.

I think he meant eats at ...

:hmmm:
