Off Topic Blackpool owners taking Legal action against their own fans?!

Madness. The letter must have been a powerful one!

 

That Oyston character really is a massive ****, isn't he?

 

Warra **** Oyston is.


No surprise Happy likes him.

 

You in training to join the AKACTWD committee?

I said the Blackpool fans got the owners they deserve. I don't have any time for anyone at that club.

The twats being taken to court are getting what they deserve too.

I suspect their defence will be "it's just bantz innit?"

 

Why do Blackpool fans deserve to get an owner like that ? I don't see how it works . I'm sure like every other club they have some decent fans and a few not so decent fans

 

He was asked the same question last time, and said they deservee **** owners bexause they appointed Ian Holloway. It was pointed out that it was the Oystons who appointed Holloway and obviously the fans wouldn't have had a say in such a decision. Then he said it was because the fans didn't object to Holloway.

So basically it's just the usual Happy stance. Attention seeking contrary post followed by laughable attempts to justify with appalling logic, then getting all uppity with whoever points out it's bollocks, Quill this time.

 

Update...

The owners of Blackpool Football Club are suing a web forum for libel in the latest of a series of actions against fans making derogatory comments online.
Owen and Karl Oyston are seeking £150,000 damages from the Back Henry Street website.
Papers were served on Thursday over six alleged defamatory comments which were made in 2014.
A club spokesman confirmed the legal action but said it would not be commenting further.
A notice published on the fans' website stated: "To clear up any rumours, on Thursday 5 February 2015, Back Henry Street was served papers from the court, relating to the Oystons' and Blackpool Football Club's intent to seek damages for six allegedly defamatory comments made on the site in 2014, limited collectively at £150,000.
"For obvious reasons, we can not go into any more detail at this time. Thank you for your continued support."
The forum has appealed to fans of the Championship side to help in its legal fight.
'Freedom of thought'
One of its moderators posted a message saying: "A football club exists and prospers due to the support of its fan-base and Back Henry Street will forever champion the freedom of thought and expression in discussion of Blackpool Football Club.

"It is vital we ensure that we, the real Blackpool fans, will always have this forum to discuss our club."
Last week dozens of Blackpool fans attended a court hearing in Manchester for a separate legal action brought by the Oystons against a fan.
David Ragozzino, 32, was given 21 days to respond to a claim for damages from the club.
On 30 January another fan, Stephen Sharpe, apologised to the Oystons over his online comments, withdrawing his posts after accepting they were "false, defamatory and, in some cases, threatening".
The club also has legal action pending against the former chair of the Blackpool Supporters' Trust, Tim Fielding.

Good point, well made. If they had stuck to describing him as a rapist there would be no legal action.

Does anyone else think that we are going to see more of this sort of action by club owners?

 

The Oystons are a nasty bunch of ****ers. All of them involved in that family are. Moan all you like about the Allams, but you'd be mental to swap ours for them.

Frank should not have posted what he did. People need to realise that if they're prepared to make unsubstantiated allegations online, they are stupid and deserve to be punished. If you post it, you better be prepared to defend it.

That said, 20k is ****ing ridiculous. If he'd punched him in the face he'd have been fined less.

I hope hes agreed to pay it back at a quid a month.

 

Having just read some of the latest stuff on this...

I wish to retract my previous comments.

No one deserves that family at all. Not even Blackpool. Not even for employing Hollowhead.

I standby the comment about taking responsibility when you post stuff online, but that is seriously one shabby family.

Convicted rapist and a convicted fly tipper? How can their reputations be made any worse?

How the actual hell can they still be in charge of a football club? Why the hell would they want to be?

 

I don't know about their criminal past as mentioned in your other post, but their hatred of the fans and spiteful actions towards them are a trait shared by the Allams. Do you think they'd turn down the chance to do the same thing as Oyston has done to one of their dissenters?

 

It would take a **** of immense proportions to compare the Oystons to the Allams.

The criminal acts are a matter of public record.

If someone posts something untrue or libelous about anyone online, they should be man enough to suffer the consequences. Freedom of speech has with it, responsibility.

Actually, I'm not going to respond to you any further on this. You're either just trolling or you are a huge ****basket.

 

I like the Oystons, they're funny. I'd rather have them in charge than the Allams.

 

"Frank has followed Blackpool over 40 years and has apologised for his passionate online rant, witnessed by all 34 of his online friends on Facebook, and fully retracted his statements."

34!!! Bloody show off.
