Quote snowie="snowie"boy you do know how to waffle on vasty
yes EW it was a bottle of coke that he had brought in and got out of control when he was told the club had banned bringing in drinks as the club wanted you to purchase theirs in the ground, I was present at the time it happened, Al had a meeting with them and they chose to part ways'"
Quote snowie="vastman"Yet you claim to know him, interesting.
Well I know him though it’s been quite a while since we have communicated.
He didn’t fall out with the Trinity, he objected to something imposed by the management and it got out of control. It was poorly handled by the directors at the time imho and I suspect it might of been handled differently today. That is just my opinion so I could be wrong, I tend not to get involved in other peoples disputes.
Bigal is a rare individual, a man of principle and just as I thought MC, another man of principle didn’t handle it well, Bigal didn’t exactly make it easy imo.
In fairness I don’t know either of them that well but I would say Bigal was very stubborn on this one. Again that’s just my opinion, as I’d of let it go with the blink of an eye but he just wouldn’t. Right or wrong though you have to admire his resolve it’s rare these days but then you could just as easily admire the clubs resolve. It was subjective at the time and still is.
Anyway there was probably a period where it could possibly have been sorted but that’s long gone and Bigal has probably found better ways to fill his days.
As I say as far as I’m aware he hasn’t fallen out with Trinity but he won’t be back whilst MC is in charge, though imho he probably won’t be back regardless now. These things happen, it’s called life.
Like Bigal, MC probably doesn’t think he was wrong and I’m assuming it was him but who knows as I wasn’t there and I may be completely wrong. If it was MC he probably doesn’t even remember it, why would he, he has to balance the interests of thousands of people and he simply can’t please them all, it’s called leadership.
Of course you’d know all this being involved with the club for years, as you often remind us and also apparently being in touch with Bigal. Still as you say you don’t tend to get involved in other peoples disputes.
Also surprised you didn’t know after all I’ve just said that it was about a bottle of coke, wasn’t a secret even at the time.'"
I do know him, but didn’t know him in person back then.
It does seem a bit petty on both sides, but like you say, possibly found something to fill up the weekends.
FWIW, I have been taking a bottle of pop or water into grounds for many years.
I will be honest, I didn’t know this, as 2013, 2014 and early 2015, I was in Malta, and rarely visited this site. I tend not to look or post often if I’m not at a game, as I don’t think it’s right, commenting if your not present.
, how does this work with terracing? allowed or not?
