What did he say in his program notes? Apparently he started with 'I don't want to talk about Tony Pulis and I'm not going to', before devoting several pages to Tony Pulis. cheers both

I spent an hour or so, pre-match, with the Gills fans, including Alan Liptrott, who was banned for six yrs from the stadium, (but watched every away game) for criticising Idiot Man and 'stealing' a domain name.
They are a really decent bunch who loathe the fellow who causes them so much embarrassment. Can you imagine two more different chairman, where class is concerned? Scally is far too old still to have the mentality of the playground.
En route home, I heard TP's interview, with Five Live, where it was made clear that it was taking place in the tunnel, as TP was banned from the media quarters. Surely the FA can't turn a blind eye to that? Certainly the PL wouldn't.

....and he will look at his photo of Priestfield on his wall in in house, (in lovely Sandbanks) with Harry busy twitching at the curtains next door and sigh and be glad, and all in the world is good

Quote taken from the BBC Website tonight
Stoke manager Tony Pulis:
"I had four fantastic seasons here, took a club that was in administration to Wembley, my final game, in front of 90,000 people, we took 38,000 people there.
"If he [Gillingham chairman Paul Scally] wants to say stuff, it's a free world. He can say what he wants. You've seen today who really counts and that's the supporters.
"You've seen what they think of the job I did here. That's all that matters to me. It was very special.
"It's lovely the supporters remember exactly what happened in that time. I've been back three or four times since and every time they have been fantastic.
"You think as time goes on they will forget but they never have and that reception was fantastic."
Tone v Scally. Easy win for the capped one. Bigger fish to fry hopefully next.

By the way gnosallpotter, that extract from the Guardian should have ended with the fact that the case was not proven. That just shows the allegations not the result. I think Pulis ended up winning his money in the end, didn't he?

Yes out of court settlement which Pulis "gained" substantially

Thanks, gumboil, for the correction, though I was exactly quoting Five Live. Like to get things right.
Still amazed today that it seems to have created no headlines, unless any of you have seen one. Had it been Fergie, O'Neill or any other media-worshiped manager, however, no doubt there would have been many pages of such unique and 'evil' behaviour.
