When they do things like this, it immediately devalues their standing on the grounds of integrity or impartiality.
Why would anybody other than a pathetic, spiteful and biased organisation adopt such a petty attitude and approach.
We already know that Roan is bitter, and a mere lackey, having been denied access to the ground for his unprofessional actions and statements against the club, therby having zero credibility as the Senior Sports Reporter to the national broadcasting corporation.
Pitiful behaviour really.
Obviously I know the CM reps quite well. Simon Walker is a fantastic person to have as chair/chairman/chairperson* (delete according to pedantry). He has great integrity, is calm, thoughtful and reasonable, plus has tremendous gravitas. Mark Todd is also a brilliant rep, who takes no shit and is quite vocal usually in meetings, calling out things he thinks are wrong. Both are people you'd want in your corner.
Simon was asked to attend a meeting but not to tell the rest of the CM group. I think he realises that not telling the committee, and getting their input first, was a mistake. When Sam Lee suggested this meeting initially, we decided as a group that we wouldn't get involved as the risk was it would just turn into a circus.
I don't know for sure but I'm guessing the Liverpool fan representative was Joe Blott, Spirit of Shankly chair. I've met Joe and a nicer guy you couldn't hope to meet. I could talk football and fan-related stuff with him all day. But genuine and fantastic people like Simon & Joe aren't the problem.
I've made my thoughts clear on Liverpool's ownership and their deliberate actions in stirring the pot relentlessly, directly and via the media. I also agree with my learned friend Mr Moustache that City have been pusillanimous in dealing with this over what's now nearly 10 years, and certainly once the pattern and intent became quite clear to them.
Yes but to be fair you were always known as chaircunt.How do you address them? ‘Chair’ sounds so much better than ‘Chairperson’. Believe me, I speak from some experience!
Just use Chairman for Christ's sake. It's a man's game, after all.Really don’t understand why people deploy the term ‘chairperson’, when ‘chair’ will absolutely do the job and sounds a lot less wank.

It does seem like "chairperson" is phrase thought up incase the chairman/woman offends rather than anyone actually being offended.Just use Chairman for Christ's sake. It's a man's game, after all.
Such flagrant informality is the reason we are sliding into the abyss. Or something.I’ve been Chairperson of quite a few committees and insisted that they called by my given name Eccles Blue ;-) rather than as Chair!!
