[Keith Lard]

Give this a read from the Sheffield Wednesday chairman, Dejphon Chansiri:

He’s clearly been up all night typing that up himself on Microsoft word.

Al would still rather have him own us than FSG 

[Flaccido Dongingo]

I don't know what the issues are at Sheffield Wednesday to be honest, but if supporters have been harassing and insulting his family members then that's completely out of line.

[Lee1-6Liv]

Horrible club and fan base.

[In the Name of Klopp]

Really, did he say anything close to it, or are you making it up so that you can have a go at him because you don't agree with his FSG stand?

He shouldn't have fired Moore. At least it kept the fans happy.

I don't know what the issues are at Sheffield Wednesday to be honest, but if supporters have been harassing and insulting his family members then that's completely out of line.

I also don't know the background of this spat, so not going to defend the Wednesday fans to the hilt, but I am sometimes a bit sceptical when you see senior football figures invoke criticism of their families as "crossing a line" that then justifies them disregarding/misrepresenting the fanbase's concerns as a whole. Obviously if Chansiri's family was getting widespread abuse then that's unacceptable, regardless of how bad he is as an owner. But I'd be interested to see if he's extrapolating from a couple of psychos screaming into the Twitter void, to tar the wider fanbase with the same brush so he looks like the good guy.

Otherwise, the statement comes across as pretty self-pitying and out-of-touch rich owner spiel. Whether he's factually right or not, criticising the Peterborough pitch invasion sparked by probably the greatest comeback in Sheffield Wednesday's history because it cost him money doesn't strike the best tone.

He's put over £150m into the club apparently, he obviously gives a shit to be fair to him.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

The people who moan that FSG aren't treated like Gods are the same people who bring them up in threads that are nothing to do with them, like all over the fucking site.

Just admit that you're addicted to moaning about moaning & having a pop at Al for shit he's not even said.

Al is growing a cult-like defence army lately

I work with a Wednesday fan and from what he’s told me this batshit behaviour is a regular occurrence from their chairman.This is a chairman who sacked the manager who got them promoted, has banned pretty much every ex-Wednesday player from watching the club and charges sky high ticket prices. He's so bad I’ve even seen Sheff Utd fans feeling sympathy for the Wednesday fans.

[Solomon Grundy]

Horrible club and fan base.

This. One of the worst for Hillsborough shouts.

[DangerScouse]

Horrible club and fan base.

Yep.

A 31-year-old man has pleaded guilty to a public order offence after he mocked the death of football mascot Bradley Lowery at a match on Friday.

Dale Houghton, from Rotherham, appeared at Sheffield Magistrates' Court on Monday and will be sentenced on 17 November.

District Judge James Gould told him "your actions are utterly deplorable" and that all sentence options were open, including prison time.

Houghton was charged after a picture was shared on social media of two men laughing in the stands at Sheffield Wednesday's match against Sunderland FC at the Hillsborough Stadium last week.

One of them, now known to be Houghton, was holding up an image of Bradley, who died of neuroblastoma aged six in 2017.

A statement from Bradley's mother Gemma Lowery was read out in court by lawyers.

In it she told of how she found out about the incident on Facebook.

What kind of c*nt do you have to be to do this sort of thing?   

[CornerFlag]

Horrible bastard needs to chew on a brick.  There's low and then there's whatever the fuck that was.  Saw he was doubling down on a messaging group with some mates as well:

Fucker should be made to tend graves as part of his punishment, speak to families of those who've had these tragedies happen.  What happened to that poor lad, I've never hoped so hard for a miracle for someone I didn't personally know like I did with him.

[Motty]

You've got to be a special kind of c*nt to do something like that 😡 shove him in a North East prison and let Karma doe it's job.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Proper bantz lad behaviour innit?

[Crosby Nick]

Proper bantz lad behaviour innit?

Definitely worth ruining your life for. Must have got a handful of likes on his socials. That’s the real quiz.

Top lad then if he's fucking them over. Hope they have fucking miserable lives the lot of them.

[I've been a good boy]

They both look like utter c*nts, hope they get a good kicking by someone.

Bit harsh isn’t it? I’ve not met a single Wednesday fan I didn’t like or wasn’t a reasonable person. In the same way most Liverpool fans aren’t racist I’m pretty sure most Wednesday fans don’t agree with the actions of that guy with the pic of Bradley Lowery. The rest of their fanbase raised over £18k for his charity as a response, they sound like awful people
