Martin Smith

[Mario]

What did Martin Smith actually say? Live out of the area so don't get a Senile, and I couldn't be bothered to go on their website because of all the pop ups.

 

There you go.

Hope Martin Smith and The Sentinel have seen all the empty seats at Stoke tonight.Bet it’s reported as a sell out 28000 in the Sentinel tomorrow.

As Stoke have recorded a 30 million loss you should have expected them to offer more seats to the Derby fans.

Can we arrange a bucket collection outside the ground on Tuesday to help pay the wages of their overpaid and underperforming players.

Maybe Denise Coates can donate more of her 265 million towards helping them out.

 

25000 tonight with 3000 from Derby!

I am half tempted to engage with him.

 

I really wouldn’t bother, he’s as thick as pig śhit and then some.

Maybe Mr Tideswell would like to comment.

 

I e-mailed Tideswell out of mischief. His reply brushed it off totally, saying just an opinion.

 

 

Hello Darren,

 

It's an opinion piece. No justification needed.

 

Just as Vale fan Ally Simcock has a column each week.

 

Personally, as a Vale fan, I disagree with Martin this week. Normally, I think he's an excellent observer.

 

He is, however, entitled to his opinion and we published the reaction from both sets of supporters to his comments:

This morning, we published another viewpoint:

And we'll continue to do so.

 

I'm sure I'll also receive letters.

 

Meanwhile today I'll enjoy three points on the road last night.

 

Kind regards,

[Santa]

It’s not so much a genuine opinion piece, more s***bait journalism.

As someone else pointed out they had 680 odd at home to Bury.

We all know the reason 4000 are coming , purely to take the proverbials and that is fair enough, but don't suddenly make out they are interested in their under 8's or whatever it is.

 

Just hope they aren't parting with cash for his weekly bile.

25000 tonight with 3000 from Derby!

 

They cheat and include all the season ticket holders sitting at home watching it on the telly.

Perhaps Martin Tideswell would like to comment on why there were so many empty seats and why Derby weren’t given more seats.

As they lost 30 million last year they must need the money.

Can someone please tell me how the gate money from Tuesday's fixture is actually split ?

Martin gave a bit of a politician's reply and is certainly sitting on the fence,as he's the Editor nowadays 🤔

Elon Musk gets 90%, with the remaining 10% going to Leicester Oddbins.

Love it. Stormin Norman’s already been on the phone ordering his additional battery range for all those off licence round trips.

He is entitled to his option and I guess in a world of free speech there is no issue with the paper printing it...

 

I however strongly disagree with it and its clear he doesn't fully understand the rivalry, maybe the 16 years that have passed have mudded his memory.

 

We are at home if we want we can give them 500 tickets and be done with it. If they had won the group then they could of had it at the Bet365 or whatever it is called these days and had as many tickets as they wanted.

Don’t think any U21 teams can play home games .They all play away.Martin Smith is in a responsible position specially with his column in the Sentinel.

After this comment he should lose his right to comment in the Sentinel and be made to apologise to the Vale fans before he is allowed to write any more comments.

But the Sentinel will bow down to him and let him get away with it.All this cr@p about he has an opinion is a smokescreen for his misdemeanour.If he wants an opinion like that he should not be allowed to publish it.

You hasn’t seen Ally Simcock saying derogatory things about Stoke.Maybe she should comment about their 30 million losses and failure to give more seats to the Derby fans.

[Old fort]

Re the difference between Vale fans and them, well Martin Smith is a glowing example. Smug, condescending and arrogant, with a hint of aggressiveness in every response when challenged. Oh yes “We are Stoke”, make no mistake. Classless clown!
