    The work of the regime. Shouldn't pay attention to it.

    Yep I'm sure it's one of Tom Rubbashow's ideas.

    It's so badly written and so full of inaccuracies that it wouldn't surprise me if it had come from someone in the club!
    Seriously though, it sounds like the sort of supporter that will follow the club blindly and, in Roland's case, over the edge of the cliff.
    I just cannot understand how anyone can be so blinkered and so out of touch with reality.

    Using phrases previously directed at them: 'deluded' / 'seriously need to get a grip of their own shortfalls'. Blah blah blah - shit.

    Maybe, maybe not. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking that all Charlton supporters feel the same way. They don't.

    I thought for a second that Michael E Tucker was an anagram of Katrien Meire.....

    He is entitled to his opinion. I am boycotting because I refuse to fund Roland and watch league one football.

    His last sentence is incorrect, he is not speaking out against people who think CARD will get the desired result he is simply name calling.

    He's entitled to his opinion. I think he is in his 70s and there's definitely some in the older generation that don't like the protest aspects.

    My English isn't brilliant but isn't his name an anagram of 'DICK'?

    As AFKA says, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

    That's surely the basis of our protests so no problem if he has a counter view.

    He is entitled to his opinion and I'm sure that I've met plenty like him when handing out leaflets. They normally refuse to take anything and comment "what's the alternative?".
    To talk about "unsavoury events that have drawn reactions from the media....." and "hooligan action" is a bit fanciful. The vast majority of reaction from the media has been hugely positive and if the protests amount to hooliganism then I dread to think what he made of what was going on in the 70s and 80s.

    Mr Tucker is anti CARD as shown on his blog below

    http://www.charlton.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=469655

    The gentleman's site is not viewed by many people, so he has decided to take it down the old fashioned route and get it published in the local press.

    I don't agree with Tucker, but he is entitled to his opinion.

    I've changed my mind. Arseholes like that shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion.

    It is a free country but they have to accept they are in the minority. And not make wild accusations about hooliganism which is slanderous.

    Perhaps someone local can write a riposte, with a handy checklist of the regimes foul ups.
