Good opportunity for a statement from @CARD?

why they had nothing to do with the two protests mentioned?

Oh grow up.

You do a statement then.

They distanced themselves from the protests! why would they then release a statement about a protest they wanted nothing to do with?

The changing the name at company's house had nothing to do with them either!

You cant just take the praise! as i and @The_President have found out

But surely any CARD statement would not be about your historic (in many senses of the word) protest?

The next statement needs to be refuting the implicit association of the Valley protesters with racists which personally I find quite offensive and once again debunking the wild figures that get bandied around 'Look! look! look at us - we've saddled you with a load of debt and bought a pile of s**t with it'

Painful and sad, very sad. I know the last adult (Riga) has now left the building, but someone needs to save her from herself, and quickly. She's tormented and needs to be removed from the firing line immediately. Roland and Murray, you should be ashamed of yourselves. She's way out of her depth and you are standing by watching her drown, call yourselves men? disgusting.

Being compared to racists of a bygone time period?

You have some fucking explaining to do Katrien.

especially since CAFC fans were at the forefront of the beginning of kick it out. Disgusting.

Weegie Addick

As I said on the other thread, I am just a tad annoyed at being branded a criminal and a racist. Legal recourse, anyone?

Oh FFS.

Completely not the impression I got. Her version was so much different. She made it sound like an off the cuff remark.

Still on my phone, but that woman is very convincing.

Then she should do as advised and not speak to the media LuckyReds. She has made a rod for her own back.

But that is in the past and she does not do history

Sigh. It's nothing to do with that and who's done what. Stop trying to get attention.

It's to do with the fact that they have come to represent the Charlton fans protesting against Roland and so they will be a credible voice to issue a well worded statement, and in turn make it more likely to get picked up by the press. Surely, if you are protesting for the same reasons this wouldn't bother you?

If you want attention, feel free to issue a statement yourself. Let's see how far that goes.

Now, back to laughing at Katrien.

No statement is needed - the protest was a big enough Statement!

The next protest we do will be an even bigger Statement!

We dont care what Katrien Says!

I for one am really looking forward to your incessant self congratulatory posts after that one.

“They forged my autograph (signature), they showed up, for example - it’s not a criminal offence - but at my parents’ house in Belgium. They rang, they gave papers, but it’s not that, it’s just in general... to ask if they know me, and they handed out papers to say how shitty I was, to my parents.

“To my parents, and they hang it up in my village.



Well Katrien,Fuck off from our village and stop upsetting our Charlton family and we will fuck off from yours

i agree that they should comment on the racist part - but they should continue to not back protests that dont sit right with them.

that's the only point i'm making.

And she paid £1500 quid to say all this as well?

Hahahaha.

I'm awaiting the LuckyReds full statement with great anticipation

pilchard

Clueless barely begins to describe this woman. Amazingly she STILL doesn't get it, she has skin so thick it beggars belief! She has turned ineptitude into an artform.

Fiiish

Is Murray going to have the guts to defend this? Surely the choice is either defend this statement, or quit?

alan dugdale

Will 6000 Burnley and Brighton fans also be prosecuted for joining in the protests ?

Off the cuff.

Seems pretty much word for word reportage.

When you tell us of your encounter there is going to be a lot of cross fertilization going on.

Windows into the soul and all that.

A Belgian village is missing it's idiot.

I would have thought this must set some sort of precedent for an FA charge: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/04/blackpool-karl-oyston-fa-charge

Will be writing to the club in the morning to ask for comments on Katrien's tirade, prior to writing to the FA and Football League and anyone else I can think of.

KBslittlesis

My gast is well and truly flabbered.
She really is a pork pie short of a picnic isn't she.
Is Belgium not a democracy where peaceful leafleting is part of peaceful protest???
She knows nothing about us or our history if she's comparing us to racists.
If it wasn't so sad I'd be in hysterics

Oh grow up. Did you not use the CARD logo on YOUR leaflets?

You do a statement then.

you changed this post - so to address the additional part - CARDs Logo WAS NOT ON OUR LEAFLET'S!

Only spout shite that you know to truly be shite mate!

Imagine how she'd have coped at a club with more hostile supporters. She just gets worse....

She has just started another contender for thread of the year.

Hi Squirrel Face. If you're having a sneaky look at this thread later this evening with a glass of wine, my sincere advice to you is to drain the bottle.

Then shove it up your arse sideways.

My dear KM, had you spent any time studying our history, you would see that CAFC have been at the forefront of equality.
We have welcomed players, managers, supporters and staff of all races/denominations and gender into our club for decades without incident.

You have to ask yourself "why then, is there such a hatred of us Belgians now"

Put simply, it is your reverse racism that we don't like.
The fact that the coaching staff have to be non-British, and as many players as possible are brought in from foreign clubs - whether they are good enough or not.

You are at a conference where you work is being cited as an example of incompetence - yet you are asking for police or FA protection because fans want to keep pointing out your failures in creative ways.

You have lost the plot - my advice would be to quit while you're behind.

Gravesend_Addick

I've never known a CEO of any organisation to have such poor people/PR skills.

pilchard

Defamation of character, let's get some legal advice.

Covered End

Meire should be reported to the Football League or FA & must be charged with misconduct !

(I see Mr Largo has just said the same above).

Chunes

“To make me resign as a director at company’s house [fraudulently removed as a director]. They were making fun of it on an online forum."

Why is she so massively bothered by it? I thought it was a funny joke but not something to keep going on and on about!

Red Riding Hoodie

For the record I am a mum who won't be renewing my and my two kids' season tickets* but it has fuck all to do with the language they hear.

(*whilst under this regime)

Redrobo

I think she has a point and think the FA should send a representative to our first home game to tell us we have been very very naughty.

Is she going to be telling the confrence how she employed staff to intimidate and assult customers?

If she does not are we to assume that she thinks that is OK and won't mind a bit if the same tactics are used against her? Just trying to establish what is acceptable.
