Topics: 11Yes really, just because someone is a fellow Iron fan doesn’t mean if they spout defamation/libel about someone they should get away with it.

Message for NLI, I’m sure many of us share your frustration, but don’t risk the prospect of libel.

How dare fans express frustration or have the audacity to organise a peaceful protest at the massive financial mismanagement of our football club by one family, resulting in two of the worst seasons in the club’s history, going out the league without a fight for the first time in 72 years, and the club no longer owning our ground.

The problem PS has, is that whilst he has historically threatened litigation in the past against sone of those who have dared to express critical opinions of the great man (and in some cases perhaps gone too far) – given his abject performance over the last 4 years and the perilous state the club is in, most of the criticism now falls under the ‘fair comment’ and ‘defence of the truth’ category!
His position has been weakened considerably having been criticised by a number of high profile individuals in the media (Stelling, Neville, former players etc), and also having made a number of statements/promises that have simply not been borne out in fact.
Anyone sticking remotely to the facts and not making wholly toxic and unfair accusations is unlikely to get into hot water with our glorious leader these days.

I think you’re right apb (and Westyorksiron), though from comments made by other posters we know some posts may have been deleted and re-edited before you read them, and this may be because some of those comments were deemed to be getting close to libellous? No one wants anyone being sued, bar UTI99 it seems!

Perhaps he’s having a lie in?

It’s quite amusing really because unless sone really toxic/outlandish criticism is made I think we’ve actually gone beyond the libel point at Scunthorpe.
As we all know libel actions are incredibly expensive to bring – they have to be heard in the High Court and just to get through the door costs tens of thousands of pounds as a matter of course.
There’s no guarantee on a return on your cash even if you’re successful because quite often you’ll be pursuing a man of straw and awards on costs and damages for libel are also wildly unpredictable.
The usual trick is to send out a bullish cease and desist letter promising hell and damnation if there isn’t a retraction etc etc and then leave it at that.
In the current climate it seems our Chairman can’t afford to get an electrician in to fix the score board let alone fund an all expenses paid trip to the High Court for a few frustrated supporters who get carried away on the keyboard on a Saturday night after another woeful beating.
Hence, I’d be surprised if UTI99’s fairy godmother is able to grant his wish of mass litigation and a bloodbath down at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Understandable if you’re gambling with your livelihood just for a few choice words in the internet.

A leader that rules by fear, alienates the mass public who then become too frightened to criticise or stand up for themselves.
Certain groups or individuals being publically ostracised, then black suited security people employed to protect the name of the glorious leader becoming heavy handed with ordinary everyday protesters.
A leader having taken land that does not belong to him, and trying to annex other pieces of land. A leader who can orate to the masses but delivers so very little to benefit those masses and then falls on their sword at the end leaving total chaos and destruction behind.
History………………………..

He should quit looking in the mirror hoping for Perfect Skin and get on the website to announce his Perfect Plan. E.G. Sell up, move on and give us OUR ground back.

He got a brand new friend in Lee Turnbull. 🙂

If he doesn’t announce anything, are you ready to be heartbroken?
