Haha!

[4midable]

Ah well

[Tricky Trevor]

Bad owners. Nothing worse in football but more and more coming out of the woodwork.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Please please please be the venkys next

[mkmel]

Talking of bad owners or in their case disgusting owners how about the Saudis withdrawing all their funding

They will do when we’ve battered them on Saturday.

[Middle-agedClaret]

Haha!

Strange response.
IMHO.

Yep, I agree. I wouldn’t even wish stuff like this on fans of Blackburn. We all deserve to have the right to support our town team.

I wouldn`t lose any sleep over it jdrobbo but you are right ... I would take great delight in trashing the Trolls on the LT ...but would not wish it on the mates I have who follow the "dark path"

[Spijed]

Nah. **** em down road

So you'd be quite happy playing opponents where nothing is riding on the game in terms of any history, other than either three points or progressing in the cup?

[ClaretTony]

More bad news where the ones suffering will be decent people who just want to support their club.

Sheffield Wednesday are not a club I'm particularly fond of but I hope they can get things sorted with better ownership.

Not arsed if we never played them again

[Paul Waine]

I woke early this morning - yes, as I always tend to do these past few years - half listened to an interview on R4 Today programme, approx 6:20. The interviewee was explaining why there are lots and lots of American investors that are looking to buy football clubs in England. It's all to do with the relative value of English football clubs compared with American sports franchises.

[ksrclaret]

Would never wish any club to become a farce due to incompetent owners. I know how I’d feel if my club was to suffer like this.

I'd make an odd exception for Manure ...Would love to see a sewage farm built on their ground..

[rufus lumley]

If they start again as a Phoenix club they can pick another day of the week.My choice would be Sheffield Monday.

[jdrobbo]

Nah. **** em down road

We’d miss the rivalry if they vanished….the greatest rivalry around.

[chekhov]

2-0 down after 7 minutes. It’s turning out to be a bad week for the city of Sheffield.

[Commy]

2-0 down already. The natives were booing very early in this game.

[Colburn_Claret]

Can't say they don't deserve it the way they shafted Darren Moore after getting them promoted.

Great goal by Clarke

The sacking of Moore is down to the terrible owners. Personally I’ve got a soft spot for Weds, I hope they manage to extricate themselves from the mess they’re in.

[beddie]

Good player Clarke. You can see why we were interested in him.

[Newcastleclaret93]

What is that 8 league goals already for Clarke?

[Commy]

They will want a lot more for him now. Maybe we should have paid the reported £15m.

Yeah, I like Wednesday.

Worked with a few over the years and they’ve been spot on.

Proper club, and it’s the best ground in the UK after the Turf.

[bfcjg]

Sheffield teams shipping goals for fun.

Just observing the stand now it’s empty…
Beware owners with big egos!

[Hipper]

I think they should change their name according to the day they play. Last night they would have been Sheffield Friday. It means they could sell seven times the amount of goods they do now.

[DCWat]

Bloody hell - if that’s what they were doing they’ll be absolutely crucified by their own, and rightly so.

I just can’t comprehend this sort of thing. Disgusting.

[aclaretinstevenage]

What a pair of brainless w***ers.

If these are the future I'm happy to be in the Autumn of my life!

The world is f***ed because of idiots like this...............they don't own a chain saw do they?

[Bosscat]

Bloody hell ... I hope they get what they deserve ... w*nkers the pair of them

[Tonto]

If you didn't see it yourself it would be hard to believe that people could descend to this ,absolute scumbags

Those types have always been around, and it's certainly not a modern thing. I remember an older relative of ours mentioning something about scumbags chanting 'Aberfan'.

Sadly true,heard it many times at Swansea and Cardiff,just the same as Munich 58 etc ,sadly very common in the 70s

Definitely happened when we played Cardiff at home 72-73 season. Idiots on the Longside were chanting Aberfan throughout the game.
Unlike today though with knowledge gained from the media and the internet, most of them could possibly be excused for not having a clue about what bile they were chanting.
It was different down at Ninian Park though. Didn’t hear much taunting about Aberfan down there and it wasn’t a pleasant place to visit in the 70’s, believe me.
I would like to think that in this current day and age it is only isolated dickhe@ds who tarnish the name of football clubs with their ignorant stupid actions. Incidents like these are very rare now, thankfully.

They look like brothers. Some Sheff Weds fans are saying the pic on the phone could have been photo shopped?

Yeah they are brothers
Its main story in daily mail where they have been named and shamed
Looking on fbook looks like theyv been sacked from jobs and kicked out of local team clubs etc

Good. If they have done this and it’s not photo shopped they should also be prosecuted for hate crime if sufficient evidence.

[BurnleyFC]

Brainless **** wits.

[ALP]

Despicable bastards, I hope they get everything that is coming their way from every corner of this land.

[dsr]

According to Owlstalk, the bloke in grey in the top right of the photo wasn't at the match and so the photo isn't what it claims to be. Put the lynch mob away until the facts come out!

This sounds like a load of rubbish. Pending the facts, I'm quite happy to say this is disgusting behaviour.

[Swizzlestick]

I must admit, when I first saw the photo, I thought it looked photoshopped, but then it begs the question who on earth would do THAT? I hope it’s sorted quickly because it really is disgraceful.

[Jamesy]

In fairness to the guys on Owlstalk, they can’t believe anyone would do something as vile as this so are wondering if it was a set up?

[Rileybobs]

Looks like a photoshop job to me. No glare or shadows on the screen, just a crystal clear image which doesn’t seem real. Either way there are some sick people around.
