Hey Minore did you enjoy chatting to my girlfriend.

I'm very impressed with everything you've achieved so far, being such a young'un and all. I wish I had a fraction of your get up and go lad.

Minore · « **Reply #82 on:** July 2, 2010, 01:07:35 AM »

Yes Tom, both you and she can be an asset to Sweden Branch, join the Union when you can. She has also given me some tips, because I'm considering to become a football journalist, not like the ones you hate in England, better than them

Accept me on MSN mate.

If I recall correctly, the Editor, or at least the Sports Editor, of Aftonbladet is a red too........can one you locals check that out?

Looked into it now, and their web editor Jörgen Källström is a huge Liverpool fan.

His e- mailaddress is jorgen.kallstrom@aftonbladet.se (hope that´s allowed).

Have done mate, though I don't use messenger much anymore feel free to e-mail me anytime.

Just a quick update. My GF has just arrived at Almedalen and has already spoken to Lars Ohly. Seems he's not to happy with our owners, and is more than happy to pose for some pictures and answer some questions on the subject. I'll forward any relevant material as soon as I get it.

Gotland I think? It's a week long political shindig a bit like our party conferences I suppose. Though in Sweden it's just an excuse for the the politicians and media to get shit drunk and fuck each other, allegedly.

She's going to, also he has a liverpool top with him so might get him wearing that. I asked if it was a new one, apparently he said he wouldn't dream of buying one.

Lars Ohly wants to see new and proper owners for Liverpool F.C - Now!

Lars Ohly, the chairman of Vänsterpartiet (Sweden's Party of the Left), and a big Liverpool F.C fan. Took a moment before his speech to the nation at Almedalen, to speak to Josephine Freje Simonsson about the current situation at his beloved football club.

When asked about the current owners - "Tom and George will ALWAYS walk alone! I'm very disappointed with them. They did not support Benitez(the former Manager), and failed to give him the right conditions needed in which to do his job"

When talking about Benitez - "I thought he was great. I was never one of the people who wanted to see him go".

On the future for the club - "I want to see new and proper owners - now".

Lars Ohly is currently running for government in the upcoming Swedish Elections.

Joackim - I'll forward you the e-mail that Josephine sent me, It's all in English, but she'll be able to give you all the quotes in swedish if there useful to you. She's going to be pretty busy tonight as she's working for Debatt (20.00), you might get to see her in the background, she'll be wearing a Liverpool top.

I'll forward this stuff to S.O.S when she gives this clearance. I've slightly tweaked the quotes which are from her translation, so that they read better.

Seriously though she's doing a grand job, hopefully she'll hook up with Soran Ismail over the next couple of days.

During a live debate on Swedish TV4 on 18 September 2006, the day after the Swedish general election, Ohly caused some controversy when he raised his middle finger to the right-wing commentator Marie Söderqvist who called his leadership style typical of a communist. Ohly later apologized and said that he experienced a "temporary blackout".

That made me smile as well. He turned up a the end of Debatt this evening, no idea what he was talking about

, but he seems a genuinly nice fella.

I think Chris Härenstam (SVT) is a red. Not very high profile though, but he's commentating the WC final.
Maybe a few mails could make him mention something about the owners if Kuyt or Torres plays the final? Something like "det är osäkert om Torres stannar i LFC med tanke på de dåliga ägarna."

Good shout, completely forgot that he's a red.

Great job with Ohly btw! Seems like he's a decent guy.
