    My personal favourite is the meeting a colleague got invited to.

    I work in the railway industry. As you will be aware we have issues with leaves at this time of year. But inviting the poor woman to a Lethal meeting, instead of a Leaf Fall meeting, seemed a little harsh ...

    Not as much as I used to.

    I was most active at the time of the Glazer takeover and have been a "not one penny" believer ever since. After saying I wouldn't set foot in OT under Glazer occupation I became an FC United founder member.

    I use login "redloner" over there.

    If you got involved with the anti-glazer protest & such, you'll probably know my dad. Ryan92 here, my old man is Gozza on there.
