JD I was told Barton was crap and because of that I'd drop him next game. OK smart arse what have you to say about that? No doubt you want us to keep playing these clowns Ashbee and Brown W. regardless of their performances. For me it's simple. You earn the right to wear the PP shirt.
Also about your comment concerning punches being thrown. Unfortunately I've been caught up in several incidents with PNE fans and in every instance PNE's mob did a runner so don't come on here making out you're a fckuing face because when it comes down to it big time neither you nor anyone else (Neil excepted, who once attakced 50 Stoke fans on his own!) supporting PNE puts up a fight. The unanimous opinion throughout the "face" fraternity is that Preston are the club whose fans run most.
OK now about an incident I got caught up in at Rotherham away in 1975 circa? Myself, my father and three other PNE chums were walking back to our car. We turned down a side road and came across about 8 Rotherham lads aged early 20's holding two PNE fans (older than us as we were only aged about 15-17) over the bonnet of a car beating the shit out of them. My father asked them what the hell they were doing whioh was a pretty stupid thing to do. This was the signal for them to turn on us. As big as they were, like the cowards they were, they wouldn't attack us one on one. They would group up then attack. We didn't run. We stood our ground and took an almighty pasting. That day we were saved by an oap lady who, in typical "Ripping Yarns" Barnstoneworth United style, came flying out of her 2 up 2 down terraced house waving a red hot poker around. She caught two of our assailants with the aforementioined weapon and I can still, all these years later, smell their leather jackets burning as she scored a few direct hits. As the old dear stood their shouting that she'd had enough of this gang an old boy who lived opposite her came out with a crate of empty milk bottles and started lobbing them at the retreating mob. And what happened to the two older PNE chaps we'd prevented from being hospitalised? Why in true PNE spirit they did a runner and left us to it.
Whether you believe it or not I don't give a toss because this is a true story as PH, JPO and MT will remember.
