Any time you want to come back to Ta’ Qali, you can be my guest in the VIP stand. Ask this blog’s moderator for my e-mail address, and get in touch with me.

I would also be able to get you through to the main stand, where you can meet our supporters.

You can witness first-hand that they are not the stupid, ignorant, sheep you make them out to be. I am not being sarcastic, this is a genuine invitation.

Football is a gentleman’s game played and followed by hooligans.

Rugby is a hooligans’ game played and followed by gentlemen.

Someone tell him that that’s not necessarily a good thing.

Also, how is it that in the eyes of The Times Debono is “a prominent criminal lawyer”?

Franco Debono suffers from a similar syndrome having spent so much time defending the indefensible, that he now thinks as illogically as the criminals he defends.

This is not to say that he is a criminal – far from it, but some of the warped thinking must have rubbed off them and on to Franco’s thinking capacity.

So flying chairs and bottles is a day in the park for you?

“The rivalry that exists between the clubs’ supporters” is what lines your pockets my friend… thats why you see it as healthy. If you wouldnt have these flocks of sheep, paying blindly to your demands of `fundraising`…. your football team would be nothing. Its the blind ignorant supporters which keep the coffers full…. and you like it like that.

Sorry mate, but you`ve got your own interests to protect, so don’t come playing neutral.

I’m not saying there aren’t normal people attending football games, but then you’ve got the majority who are thick in the head and behave like Dr. Debono’s clients.

At the first sign of a police officer, their blind rage took over their ‘reason’, and kicking and punching is the only thing they could think of.

They could have come up with a better reason to kick the poor police officer in his privates, but their intelligence is so limited that “it was nothing personal” is the best they can come up with.
