I was reffering to the most visual, impactful ones, pigs, stress balls etc. Or are you going all RD on us and changing history to suit 🤔🤔Airman Brown said:

LDT's responses to fans forum questions
However the claim that they are only a problem based on the identity of the buyer ignores the fact that according to LDT the buyers haven’t changed since he said they weren’t a problem.
Another wholly gratuitous and spurious point about me and 2015/16, which 1) contradicts their own previous claim that I was advocating the owner of Ebbsfleet and 2) ignores the fact that PV was representing a specific buyer and the likelihood that I would have confidence in PV.
I will leave others to decide if they were in fact “mobilised” by me or formed their own judgement of Duchatelet and what needed to happen based on the evidence in front of them.
The insinuating that people wanted to protest because of you is fanciful at best.
The last sentence was a joke before the pile on starts.1 -
I can’t believe you’re the only one who has picked up on this.Chizz said:Question two was a short question, which referenced the directors' loans
Six hundred and sixty six words were used by LdT to explain, in forensic detail, the vital importance of being utterly and completely unambiguous with dates.
Here's what the title of the document is.
I refused to read it because of this.
Explains everything to me.
Fecking jokers.
He’s going nowhere.

True. But technically LDT isn't saying you started the protests, simply that you mobilised protests, which, as part of CARD, he can argue you did. I don't like the bloke but he's been very careful with his wording there. Unnecessary of him though.Airman Brown said:

Came in very handy that cold Febuary evening in Sint Truiden back in 2016.Henry Irving said:It was the genius of the black and white scarves and branding that gave everyone an easy way to show their unhappiness and indicated visually just how much support the protests had.

Apologies but there’s no actual takeover news then today ?
There appears to be a lot about Fans Forum on the 26th June, which I am not really following (Something about LDT making stuff about loans owed to former directors & some other rubbish aimed to divide & distract ? )0 -
Let's face it they can't even sign off the minutes without a major cock up, what chance did they ever have of doing proper due diligence?
They really are a bunch of bungling Belgians.0 - Sponsored links:

1873, Sydney Barnes born. He took 49 wickets in a Test Series against South Africa in 1913/14 which is a record that I believe still stands today.6

Yes. I can confirm that, since then, no-one has ever taken that many wickets in a Test Series against South Africa in 1913/14.happyvalley said:1873, Sydney Barnes born. He took 49 wickets in a Test Series against South Africa in 1913/14 which is a record that I believe still stands today.6 -

Initiating, mobilising, orchestrating, participating or supporting the protests against this bunch of clueless, malevolent wankers is a charge to be accepted as a badge of honour.
They just cant behave towards our club and it’s fans the way they have without getting some measure of retribution.21 -
Has it been considered that LDT could be even more bonkers that Roland, that it is he infact the pen behind all of Roland’s ridiculous website rants over the last year? And poor old Roly has been copping the full blame for it?Henry Irving said:

Slightly less sarcastic answer: Yes, Sydney Barnes's 49 series wickets is the most wickets ever taken by a bowler, from any nation, in a Test series. Only six other people have taken 40 or more wickets in a series (one, Terry Alderman, did it twice). All of those came in five- or six-match series. Barnes took his 49 wickets in just four Tests.happyvalley said:1873, Sydney Barnes born.

Anyhow, before this threads gets in danger of serious discourse, let’s not fail to pay tribute to an emphatic victory a few pages ago
DOUCHER 1 CHIZZ 0
The man with the inquisitive questions and eye for detail gave it his best shot but the hugely popular people’s champion didn’t even wobble off his inflatable pink flamingo in the Turkish sun, swotting the challenge away with a backhand Federer would be proud of. And didn’t spill a drop of his Raki cocktail in the process.
Dont lick your wounds for too long Chizz, it was a good challenge and none of us think any the worse of you. Dare I say it, an admiring respect for your bravery. But you join a great list of ITKs, pedants, outright wannabes and forum heavyweights to trail in the great man’s wake.
Viva La Douche, baby. Viva La Douche :-)9 -

Even I was beginning to blame the Aussies, but now the evidence points in another direction. If Dalman walks away you have to think this could literally go on for years.
Roland reduced the price and then upped it again. He's playing games.
But I guess I might prefer someone who was so rich they wouldn't care what the price was, but that's not realistic.5 -

How much more time can they afford to waste? There are other clubs for sale.3
