[steviecarnie]

This season southampton have banned photographers except their own official photographer which they then sell the photo's on to anyone looking for them,

Good idea??

Seems to have backfired here tho.

Those cartoons are very good indeed.

Mind you, the artist could save himself a lot of time by just drawing one picture of Nishy with his hands on his knees gasping for breath - it could then be incorporated into a myriad of cartoons!

Good idea - not!
What a cheap bunch of sods - on par with Edinburgh Airport management.
If I were Fleet St I'd black ball Southampton & see how they like it.

Some may disagree, of course :greengrin

Edit: BTW, I totally agree with later posters that the Daily Rantic should be sine died from ER

This is so Melchester Rovers.

I'd like to know what words the cartoonist would have used if the goalie had made a hash of it.
