Brent's Family Abused

Dare I say that I don't care?

Sure, it's not the sort of behaviour one would wish to portray oneself, but then, perhaps one shouldn't bring one's family to one's failing business that is currently fukKking it's loyal, paying customer's up the ass week in week out.

I can't help but feel it is a ruse to buy the despicable asset stripping banker more time, etc.

You can't condone that ffs ! They are just kids .

Sorry, but if he doesn't like it, he knows what he can do.

And i don't me stop bringing the kids or ban the fans.

Absolute disgrace. Impossible to defend and anyone that does is twisted

If he doesn't want his family to be abused as a consequence of his poor managment of PAFC, he should either run the club better or sell up.

It's a big nasty world out there, but the truth is nobody held a gun to his head to make him buy the club and nobody is doing so now to stop him selling.


PS I bet his kids get what they want for Christmas, but does he ask all those good, honest people that he's making wait for 5 years to get paid, if THEIR kids got what they wanted for Christmas?

Not condoning it though is he? He just doesn't care, I don't either. I don't even believe it happened, not to any serious degree anyway.

Oh it happened alright .

I saw that stated somewhere but I do find it slightly hard to believe that someone in the grandstand was that abusive towards his kids.

My guess is that a few fans, quite rightly pissed off with paying good money to watch utter crap week after week while the owner says feck all, shouted to Brent asking what the feck was going on, or something along those lines.

If I'm wrong and there were a couple of pensioners shouting at Brent's children, screaming abuse at them, not just shouting general comments of displeasure which included swearing, then of course it's not on at all and if true then the perpatrators would be easy to identify and they should be banned.

Again this is only my opinion but I doubt that James Brents children are the type of kids who are usually mixing with football oiks and it probably has been an eye-opener for them after all these months of blind hero worship for the man who "saved" the club.

If it is how I imagine it to be I would also say that while we are so completely piss poor then it might be worth having an extra steward or two on duty near the Directors Box.

They might incur the wrath of Ian Newell as usual, but I'm sure they've witnessed worse

Thats why a lot of us have been helping raise money for them but hey we get criticised for that . Scuse me while I kiss the sky and polish my halo .

Genuine question Greengenes, were you there? Or are you relying on accounts from others?

Jock I was reliably informed by people I know very well and trust that it got very nasty . You've got a kid . How would you feel if in their hearing you were subjected to a torrent of abuse . Theres ways and means of doing it . Maybe I'm a freak or a weirdo but I wouldn't do that . I WAS in the grandstand a few weeks ago and heard pretty nasty stuff at that time .

Anyway Jock Happy New Year to you and yours .

Brent should know damn well he is likely to get abuse sooner or later so shouldn't be bringing Rupert & Octavia if he doesn't want them to hear it.
Maybe it is a shock to him & this sort of peasant behaviour doesn't go on at Rugger, Lacrosse or at the Grouse shoot.

Of course I wouldn't, but I do think that it was Brent being abused in earshot of his family which is a whole different ball game if you ask me.

Sat in the Directors Box they are going to hear some choice language whether it is directed at their father or not. That's football.

It can't be nice for them because no-one wants to feel threatened or their children threatened and I know that first hand now from posting on here, but again I do think that this is ever so slightly being over egged and might buy a wee bit of leeway for Mr Brent or at least a bit of sympathy.

Happy New Year to you too Greengenes.

Hopefully this annus horriblus, or more like the 5th annus horriblus in a row, will be the last for Argyle. It really is wearing people down and much more of it could be terminal.

You have a good one Jock . I won't fall out with you tonight of all nights . Take care .

Of course it's wrong for abuse to be thrown at Mr Brent's children.But then again,it was wrong to use his children as evidence that the Brent family were "getting the football bug".Families should be left out of the equation entirely,just asking for trouble to get them involved.This is not a recently formed opinion either,i thought it was wrong when Stapes and his family used to sit with the fans at away matches when Argyle were rising up through the leagues,it was leaving themselves totally open to accusations of glory seeking when results hit the wall.Not saying that families shoudn't be at Argyle's home or away matches of course,just that there are ways of being a little more unostentatious and cutting down the chances of involvement in any sort of nastiness.Damned stupid and out of order for the alleged perpetrators to do such a thing though.

Such young kids though . Anger is a terrible thing ( oh gawd I know) but there are times when it needs to be tempered (no pun intended )

Wrong to involve children in the abuse. No argument as far as I'm concerned.

If they were there when their father was abused, it still feels uncomfortable but that's the reality of football and the reality of being a public figure.

Yup, I think that's is basically my thoughts on it, but I couldn't work out how to say it.

Unless anyone prints otherwise, I doubt his kids were getting the 'you little jumped up rich twats' stuff, I just can't see that happening.

If someone shouted 'sort it out Brent you tw@t', then, well, it's not nice but perhaps he should damn well sort it out.

so greengenes, does your 'informant' know EXACTLY what form the abuse took?
sad IF its true. IF its true.

nasty stuff ? such as? elaborate.

funny how this has emerged now but no mention of the abuse weeks ago (if of course) thats true as well...............

Yes .

Very nasty - go to the next match and hear for yourself - I'm not here to do your bidding .

I heard abuse weeks ago - I was sat in the wing of the Grandstand . So yes its true but call me a liar if you want - water off a ducks back .

Happy New Year - off out in a mo . Have a good one .

Greengenes...

Was it as bad as the abuse that Newell hurled at the Directors and a certain directors wife?

No idea . I did on one occasion go up into the Grandstand and shout a few things like "sack the Board " . Ian was there and all I heard him shout over and over again is "Wheres the money gone ?" . Apart from that I know no more .We did get stick for it but I saw and heard nothing that could be called abusive . I know Penz was at the ground the day we went into admin and did his bit .

That's the point. I'm sure no one was abusing the kids. After all he could get a minder to look after them in the pleb family area. Or create a prawn sandwich brigade family area. How scared would his kids be if someone used the superfan approved 'storm the boardroom' tactic. As a father myself you protect your children as much as you and as best as you can. A swift retreat or children ushered away while he talked to the fans would have been in order.

The equal and opposite reaction would be for the fans to calm down in the presence of children. That's not hard either. But it's football and a wrongly awarded throw in can result in invectives and verbal bile so it's hardly an unknown phenomenon.

Bit of sense on either side would quickly quell the situation. Probably a storm in a thimble in any case.

More bollocks by all accounts. Nobody abused Brent's kids, they just happened to be there. Just like the poor kids sat next to Torquays kids in Zoo Corner. Those same kids will face similar in future, will Brent care?
