OLDER NEWS

24th February 2008

Another piece by Tel Currie:

I fear for the morality of this great nation of ours. A nation that has been through so much in the last century and has been forced to take up arms to avoid oppression on more than one occasion. Now, it would appear governments are admiring and even copying the oppressor rather than the lessons that can be learned from the oppressed. Must justice now revolve around the idea of crushing a man's spirit and then waiting hauntingly & ghoulishly whilst looking at their watches for the body literally to be crushed as well. Will they not clock off until a man is buried deep in the earth, a technique rejected by even the most barbaric of country's?

What more can a slow grinding system do to Ronnie Biggs? Even the dimmest of us know this system has ground itself so hard it has dug, stumbled and fallen into a hole it can not climb out of! We all know the only idea they actually have is to wait for Ronnie Biggs to die. This is not just deserts, it's a complete lack of imagination and ideas.

This inspiring system was used on Reggie Kray. The system killed Reg Kray. The correct check ups and treatment would have diagnosed cancer in time to save him. I for one, refuse to believe they wanted to save him. His death solved too many problems for them to resist, it was a glorious open goal that even the worst striker in the world would have made sure he did not miss even with his weak foot!

So they told him it was nothing to worry about and for crippling stomach pain gave him two paracetamol at a time, an amount I wouldn't bother with even for the mildest of headaches!

Then, when it was too late, up jumped a cancer diagnosis!

Oh dear, where could that of come from ... whoops-a-daisy.

The system has Reg Kray's blood on it's hands and the people responsible are probably rather proud of it.

Now we have the same ingenious method being used on Ronnie Biggs. The difference between Reg and Ronnie Biggs is huge. Biggsy was no real villain, he was a desperate man who was skint. He was not feared like Reg because A) that's not in him and B) he was a carpenter NOT a gangster. He was not a threat to society then, so what does that make him now?

Like Bronson, Kevin Lane & Razor Smith, Biggs is a non-killer unlike, the government who keep them in jail for being naughty! How many young men & women have politicians killed over the years? Ha! Ha! ... It's almost funny... almost. It's like Peter Sutcliffe putting you in prison for G.B.H.!!!

Think of those who unleash hell on Iraq & Afghanistan, then think of a near 80 year old man who can't talk and has had numerous strokes who sat in a lorry watching an unarmed robbery over 40 years ago and has never hurt a sausage. Who's the evil party here? Well the old bloke obviously! He obviously has no morals. "Ooops... sorry that was a civilian shelter we blew up but isn't that Ronnie Biggs a nasty man, isn't Charlie Bronson violent?" Violent????? Ha! Ha! Ha! Good one!

The War mongers obviously don't think we are intelligent enough to work out what they are doing. The fact that a brain dead lemming with amnesia could work it out is more a reflection on them than us. It would surely be a vote winner if, whilst invading the world, the system also showed a small capability for compassion by letting an old man out of prison over forty years after his extremely minor part in a crime.

MR politician, we are not that stupid. Show some imagination, show some compassion, show some justice and you might ... just might ... regain some of the respect you lost years ago.

To all the lads

16th February 2008

This just in from my good pal, Tel Currie:

Hi Jason,

Me old China!!!

It's your pal Tel here.

How's it going out there in the big bad world?

Is Jesus Macintyre dead or has he risen yet?

And I always thought Roger Cookie Monster was bad...well, he was! Last time I saw him was on celeb (Celeb???) Big Bruver when he just touched the top of the lead reinforced throne with his ample buttocks and the whole BBC studio TV centre came crashing down (you could just catch Jan Leaming flying past an outside window!) Anyone remember that? Probably not.

How many REAL friends can Macintyre actually have? He has the Cliff Richard effect, a face you just want to smack! How in God's name can you take 344 hours of footage... 344 hours!!! Cut it down to the very worse bits you can find, wobble on the edge of entrapment (Falling off many times in my opinion.) Present it to court and get a man sent to jail based on a TV programme! If that was the basic plot for a novel, you would have to say " We have to make it more believable than that... Who's going to believe that?" Most people know how I go on and on about the toffs who rule the legal system and how normal folk assume it's right most of the time. Have you ever seen a judge? Put it this way, you wouldn't let them look after your kids!! Have a read of Jason's book if you think the scales of justice actually balance. Find out more about Ronnie Biggs, Bill Boal or Kevin Lane if you think compassion or even getting the right person comes into it as long as the public think they have, find out about Colin Stagg and Barry George. So when a smarmy, self righteous, conceited, had his dinner money nicked at school, well bullied, virgin until he was 26 tosser minces into court, carrying a video compilation with about 343 hours hacked out and the worse bits left in... you knew Jason Marriner and Andy Frayne were in trouble!

Anyone who is actually pleased at sending another man to prison is scum (unless they are a nonce. Even then, you should want to prefer to deal with them yourself)

Good job you didn't cause trouble at a polo match Jase, you would of been beheaded! Anybody who has had just a fleeting experience with the so called 'underworld' will tell you Macintyre's programmes are absolutely shit. The right people who a lot about some of those he makes whole programmes on and trust me, it's beyond belief. With the exception of about 3 I have seen, the rest have a history we shall call chequered. The programmes are for those who know no better. You are insulting your own intelligence by watching them! If you think 'Macintyre's Underworld' is how it really is, you must also be convinced that Rocky Balboa was up there with Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and Jack Dempsey!!

The sad thing for our Donal, is that he can't even bring anger out in people who don't like him (Which is a lot!) He doesn't have the right qualities to produce anger. He is not a hate figure for the wrong doer's while he stands proud for the good folk. He is worse than that... He is a joke! He makes people laugh AT him NOT with him when he's trying to be Clint Eastwood. The bloke just makes you giggle. You just know for a fact that if you confronted him he would cry!! He's not a threat, Inside he is and always WILL be just the same spotty, bullied, friendless, girl less, joke he was at school. The loser who always wanted to be a hero but his fate was to be a zero. Even Jason finds it hard to get angry about this tosser!

Jason, I'm glad you are on the 'audience with' circuit my good mate. This man has a proper story to tell you that reaches a lot further than football and football violence. It describes the difference between 'Them & Us' just like Howard Marks shows do, there is a much, much bigger picture than football & drugs ... GO AND HEAR IT FROM THE LADS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!

See you soon Jason.

Respect,
Tel Currie

29th January 2008

In memory of Tel Currie Snr. A real man, gentleman and legend never to be forgotten! He will be missed.

And now, just because you keep asking me, here's a couple of the many recent emails I've received:

1st January 2008

25th December 2007

14th November 2007

About a month ago I went to China on business, forgetting that Chelsea were playing abroad. Now, I'm supposed to hand my passport in to Old Bill when that happens, so you can imagine what happened on my return. Three officers boarded the plane when we landed in Blighty and arrested me and I ended up in court, where the beak handed me a hefty fine. I had a right go at beakey, told him he was just a sweet shop owner and that I wasn't taking that from him, so I appealed. Well, today I had my day in court, told my story (I have never missed a signing at the cop shop) and the judge quashed the conviction. Hooray for the great British justice system!

Someone else who had their sentence quashed today was Barry George, exactly as I predicted on the 5th November.

5th November 2007

I'd just like to make a prediction that Barry George will walk out a free man at the end of his second appeal against his conviction for the murder of TV presenter Jill Dando. The only scientific evidence against the man was two tiny specks of residue from the discharge of a gun on his overcoat a year after the shooting.

4th July 2007

A message of good news and hope from Mike Gray:

RONNIE BIGGS WAS TRANSFERRED FROM BELMARSH PRISON (CAT A) YESTERDAY MORNING TO NORWICH PRISON (CAT C)

Good Morning,

Michael Biggs called me yesterday to say the Home Office had contacted him, and it would not be made public until this morning (Wednesday, July 4), and the story is already in The Daily Mirror.

This is absolutely great news for Ronnie, Michael and Myself and all connected to The Free Ronnie Biggs Campaign, as we have never given up on Ron and maintained a high profile Campaign, by writing to Her Majesty The Queen, numerous Home Secretaries, etc.

As a regular visitor to Belmarsh to see Ron, I can fully understand when Michael told me yesterday that Ronnie was “crying” with excitement.

I would personally like to thank Giovanni Di Stefano for his efforts in getting Ronnie moved, God bless that man.

Thank you once again to ALL OF YOU who have supported Ronnie over the past 6 Years, written to him, visited him on a regular basis (Yes Tel & Roy I mean you two) and anyone who is supporting our cause… THANK YOU.

Norwich Prison (Healthcare Wing) is where Reggie Kray spent some time in July 28th, 2000. How ironic Biggsy has gone to the same Healthcare Wing, in the month of July. Ronnie is 78 years Old on August 8th.

Should you wish to write to Ronnie and welcome him to his NEW HOME the details are:

RONALD ARTHUR BIGGS

BIRTHDAY
JASON

From
Mal and associated pals

17th June 2007

Thank you to everyone for coming to my 40th and having a good night. They came from north, south, east and west. London, Sunderland, Sheffield, Peterborough, Northern Ireland, Norfolk, Wolverhampton, Stockport ... all corners of the realm. I'd like to thank them all for a blindin' night and the respect they showed me.

God Bless them all. My message to them is: never give up on your dreams.

No Surrender,
Jason x

11th June 2007

Special thanks to Vinje for inviting me over to Norway to play for the Chelsea Norwegian supporters team in the tournament and the book signing and for his hospitality while I was over there. I had a great time. While I was on the pitch I was approached by one of their plain clothes coppers who told me: "We know about your background Jason. We have had complaints from the anti-Nazi league about you being here and we'll be keeping an eye on you." Well, I'd just like to say that that little confrontation did not spoil my rhythm or my fun one little bit while I was over there.

And to Wes, yes mate, I look forward to having a pint with you next time round.

8th June 2007

I'm off to Norway to play a little football and attend a book-signing that's been arranged by good friends of mine over there. I'll let you all know how it goes when I get back.

2nd June 2007

Congratulations to Disco, who ran the Manchester Run for charity and came a very respectable 462nd out of 28,000 in 41 minutes and thirty four seconds.

Great news for everyone (including OB): my sidekick Andy Frain, aka Nightmare, got out on tag yesterday.

Congratulations to my very old friend Dave Flynn and Lorna, who are getting married today in Sheffield after being together for 16 years. I'm on my way up for the service and festivities pal.

30th May 2007

Who saw that prick MacIntyre making a total pratt of himself (again) on MacIntyre: Edge of Existence (Five) last night? The Guardian obviously thought it was a total farce and you can read their report on the show at Donal MacIntyre's dangerous hunting expedition is about as daring as a stag party.

19th May 2007

GOOD LUCK LADS

Ready for history in the making and a lot of sore heads in the morning from all the partying

10th May 2007

A very old and dear pal of mine has recently been diagnosed with cancer and goes for his first chemo-therapy session on Monday, so I would like to wish him all the best. We held a benefit for him last Saturday and I'd personally like to thank everyone who attended ... you know who you are. My pal would like to thank everyone too, especially for the almost thirteen grand that was raised to help him. Special thanks to Ginger Bob of Millwall, Boatsy from Nottingham Forest, Lewisham and all the other lads from other clubs who came to support the cause. I salute you all.

23rd April 2007

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

You can see me being interviewed about English hooliganism on ITV News tomorrow at 6 pm and 10 pm.

The following is an email correspondence with someone calling themselves Wil:

Hi Jason

In my opinion I think it would be far better to leave Mr Charles Bronson where he is as all the fuss yourself and other celeb ex-criminals etc are causing will only make the powers that be more stead-fast regarding his continual confinement.

C. Bronson is no longer a security problem. He has been 'moved' using restraints only to placate him as he likes to be seen by other cons as unpredictable and disruptive. Sadly, this is all he has and, if he were to be placed on the wings he would be vulnerable to attack by fellow prisoners.
He is not a young man and would struggle greatly if he were released owing to his inability to adjust and, would require a great deal of time and care in order to adjust to life on the outside.

Regards
Wil

OVER MY DEAD BODY THE MAN SHOULD BE FREE!!!


Hi Jason

I agree with you, he should be free. I've been in hospital with CB, I don't know him but I know of him and, for sure, he needs to be started on a release program so he can start his life again.

People who have been in hospital or prison for a long time don't just get released. There's a good chance they'd top themselves or do something daft and end-up re-called to hospital.
What I'm getting at is that he would benefit from less negative attention. Even the hospital staff acknowledged that the media seals peoples fate not the offence.

I'm not a smack head or crack head. I beleive society has more to fear from nonces that CB for sure, but unlike a lot of people I've seen loads stuck in the system, but no one cares about them.

There'll be a good loyalist day out 28th July when Rangers play Chelsea at Ibrox. The Blues Brothers are meeting in a pre-season friendly so there will be plenty of fun and loyalist tunes.

TOGETHER WE STAND!!

26th March 2007

Today is a twenty first anniversary. It was twenty one years ago today that Old Bill dawn raided Steve Hickey Hickmott during operation "Own Goal" ... and what an own goal it was! Steve wound up with nearly £100,000 in compo and let me tell you: he ain't even touched it yet. He's still living off the interest! Good luck to you Steve from your pal Jason. No Surrender!

P.S. So where's that pint you promised to buy me when we travelled away to Rotherham in 1982?

17th March 2007

Thank you to Darren and Alison for the invite to Alison's 40th tonight. But on a day like to day I'm afraid I have to refuse to go to any pubs or clubs. Just 'cos your auntie's dog was once taken for a walk in Kilburn don't make you a Paddy. So let's get today out of the way and look forward to celebrating Saint George's Day on the 23rd April in proper style!

3rd March 2007

First of all, my heartiest congratulations to Darren McDade and his missus on the birth of their son, Joshua Charlie McDade. Darren is the son of Charlie Bronson's sister, Lorraine, which must make Joshua Charlie's grand-nephew. Anyway, Charlie is chuffed to bits at the latest addition to the family, as are the whole family.

More congrats go to Ian Sim "The Twin" and his wife Jenny, who just found out that they're expecting their first - a new addition to the Chelsea Youth.

Joey Pyles funeral went off very well, with over 2,000 attending. All of the chaps there, the likes of Freddie Foreman, Roy Shaw and Dave Courtney.

And finally, a get-well-soon to my good pal Tel Currie who broke his scotch egg.

14th January 2007

My agent asked me if I'd to do a TV show with McIntyre to see who comes out the cleanest. Of course I said "Yes!" I'd relish the chance of going head to head with that ****.

Unfortunately to date (3 or 4 months) McIntyre don't appear to have responded, so I can only assume that his anal sphincter has gone into spasm, causing an excess of skid markings in the underpants department.

Come on McIntyre: if you're so self-righteous, convinced of what a great and good person you are and that you were right to do what you did then let's get it on face to face, discuss it like men and let the nation decide! Problem is, without the ability to hide behind a disguise, lie about being a big drug dealer and be able to edit the results into oblivion to achieve the effect you want you just can't cut it.

When was the last time you managed to deliver a live news report like REAL reporters do? Oh, sorry, I forgot -  you've been too busy investigating what a hooligan that weather is and how scary sharks are. What's next? How some nasty anti-social volcano nicked your mobile phone and lap-top (with trackers in 'em, of course)?

Oh, and just a quiet word in the ears of Steven Gudara, his wife Delma and James Yawona from Papua New Guinea. Be very careful and don't let McIntyre stitch you up like he does everyone else.

While I'm on the subject of that mongrel, I hear he's becoming a father. Well, I truly hope from the bottom of my heart that his child grows up healthy and wise and doesn't inherit his dad's unscrupulous and devious nature. I'd hate to think of that innocent kid learning how to go round offering all kinds of stuff about drugs in order to get a moody story.

11th February 2007

AN AUDIENCE WITH JASON MARRINER

Yes people, there's an Audience with Jason Marriner coming up on Thursday 22nd February at Cristalz Wine Bar, 29 London Road, Twickenham, TW1 3SZ starting at 8.00 pm sharp. Tickets are priced at £15.00 each or you can buy two at the very special price of £20 the pair! To obtain tickets please phone Leon on 07734 735499.

This is your chance to ask Jason any questions you might have about the McIntyre saga, the court room shenanigans, what Prison was like, how people are treated in prison or his old hooligan days, so get down there and ask.

4th February 2007

Recordings of Charlie's voice are rarer then hen's teeth, so unless you're a personal friend of Charlie's it is unlikely that you will ever have heard his voice.

Well, now you can! Charlie has issued a Limited Edition CD called "Dead Man Talking" and you can own it for the bargain price of ONLY £9.99.

This is a WHEN-THEY'RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE! deal. There will only ever be 1,000 of this Limited Edition CD in the possession of the world-wide population.

OK, Hard Sell over. Buy it just 'cos you want to hear him.

FREE CHARLES BRONSON

I was gutted to hear the news that my pal Charlie Bronson has had his request for a review of his appeal turned down. Charlie has been in prison almost continually for 32 years now and has spent 28 of those years in solitary confinement. Now his hope for release lies with the Parole Board, who have never seen fit to give him his freedom in the past. Charlie needs all the help and support we can give him and I urge all of you to look at his website www.freebronson.co.uk and his MySpace page and join the growing army of people who want to see an end to this injustice.

Now I've got that off my chest, here are some more of the emails I get:

13th January 2007

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

First off, I'd like to send belated best wishes to my pal Rob and his wife in Holland for the birth of their first daughter, Amber.

Next, a bit of news on Andy Frain: he had now been decatogorised and will be moving prisons soon. I'll keep you all informed about his whereabouts.

Speaking of prisoners, to all you good people who read about my good friend Neil Holland in the newspapers who outrageously got four years for a minor scuffle with Man City fans. Please do not forget to write to him if he's a friend of yours. The address is Neil Holland, XD5344, HMP Manchester (used to be Stangeways), 1 Southall Street, Manchester, M60 9AH.

On Thursday I was involved in some filming of Carlton Leach's new film "Rise of the Foot Soldier". Also, Liam Galvin of Gangster Videos has asked me play a main character in his new film project, which he's in the process of writing. Apparently there are some exceptionally good looking women involved. I'll keep you all informed.

25th December 2006

16th December 2006

Mal tells me that there's a new gallery of photos from last months Awareness Event on the Free Charlie Bronson website. There's even a couple of photos of me on there.

"And what have you been up to?" I hear you ask. Well, I've been busy importing. You know the latest craze, Healys? Well, I've just got in a few thousand of them called "J's Wheelies" and they're selling fast, as my source is a lot less expensive. Strewth, they go for £60 to £70 in the shops and I'm knocking them out at £35 to £40 a pair. If you're interested in buying any (especially if you want them wholesale) then just email me. You won't be disappointed, as the quality is every bit as good as the more expensive ones in the shops now.

5th December 2006

It's been a busy time for me over the past month, hence me being so quiet on the website. Add to that mine and Mal's involvement with the Charlie Bronson campaign and show a couple of weeks ago and there hasn't been much time for attending to me own web site. The Bronson Event up in Derby was a blinding night, so if you weren't there (why not?) you missed something very special. I do hear that there may be another one some time in the New Year down in London, so keep yer eyes peeled on Charlie's website for announcements ... plus all the other interesting stuff over there. Speaking of which, it's Charlie's birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday Chaz from all of us mate.

10th November 2006

I've been abroad on business for the past couple of weeks, so a massive apology to all those who have purchased my book or DVD from the site. All the orders are now being dispatched and you should be receiving your items very soon. The same goes for all of you who have been emailing me.

To email me direct, simply click on jason.marriner@hotmail.co.uk

6th November 2006

A message from Mark Fish to say that Spearmint Rhino are sending two stretched Hummers packed with 20 of their girls dressed in black cat suits to the Charlie Bronson Event on 19th November to help hand out literature. Remember, entrance is by ticket only, so if you haven't got yours yet then give Gary a ring on 07968 019095.

I've banged on about writing to prisoners before. Now there's a new forum in town. Prison Chat UK is an online community giving support to those who have a loved one inside the British prison system. Whoever is inside, be it your mother, father, wife, husband, sister, brother etc, and no matter what they have done, you are welcomed there. It is Prison Chat's hope that you find the answers and support you need at a testing time. Having a loved one inside can leave you feeling lost, lonely and betrayed. They are there to help you get through it!

A small error has crept into the press release issued regarding the Free Bronson event: the phone number for tickets is 07968 019095 (Gary). Thanks to OK and HELLO magazines for pointing the error out.

28th October 2006

The film "Bronson" is slated to start production on 1st February 2007 and will shoot in 15 different locations. The film's producer, Danny Hanford, will be at the Free Bronson event, along with Tom Hardy (Layer Cake, Sweeney Todd), who it is expected will play Charlie in the film. Also, the film's casting director will be at the event looking for people to be in the film. There are a few character parts left to fill, as well as plenty of extras.

The following just in from Mike Gray:

Chaps,

Last Week The Daily Mirror, ran a Story on Ronnie….. “BIGGS BRAZIL APPEAL”

Ronnie’s Lawyer Giovanni Di Stefano said Ronnie is making a last ditch bid for Brazilian Citizenship, Which if accepted by the Brazilian Government, Ronnie could be Freed straight away and deported to Brazil, where he spent over 30 Years as a law abiding Citizen.

Giovanni said “This avoids Home Secretary John Reid making a decision on a Very Sick old Man”, “It is Biggs ticket to Rio, to be with his Family rather than be in Belmarsh”

If returned Ronnie would be FREED, under Brazilian judicial law, as his Crime was over 40 Years ago.


Giovanni Di Stefano is working endlessly on Ronnie’s behalf, and We all thank him so much for his efforts,

I will update, when further Information is received,

Thank you All on behalf of Ronnie & Michael Biggs, for your Continued and loyal Support,

Ronnie is now 77 years Old, and has Served 5 Years & 4 Months, to date.

4th October 2006

Coinciding with the Charlie Bronson event announcement below, I am happy to report that the Free Charlie Bronson website has now been re-launched.

evening mate, iv just read your book and felt i had to mail you to tell you what an out & out stitch up i thought the whole situation was. after the 344 hours of footage they had fuck all on you yet you still got 6 years, its not on. throughout the first part of your book i was very open minded but once it got to the offical transcripts i couldnt believe what i was reading. i tell you something else as well i think you did very well not to get drawn in to the other things he was trying to get you involved in, i think its fair to say had you have done his class a removals you would probably have been still been away now. a few of my mates watched the bbc panorama agents/managers bungs programme last week & asked my opinion on it & i said you know what lads dont believe a fucking word of it, ill let you read my book then you will never believe anything on that programme ever again. anyway moving on i hope you earn a few quid out of the book, dvd, website ect because you deserve to & im sure one day mr mcintyre will have the misfortune of bumping in to the wrong person, what goes around comes around & all that.

good luck, keith
bradford city & england.

There's a new article about MacIntyre in the Articles Section. Click here to read MacIntyre and Celebrity: The Two Faces of Donal.

12th September 2006

Mal has made me a My Space page. You'll find it at Jason Marriner (and his page is at Mal).

9th September 2006

Sorry to all those of you who have emailed asking why the site hasn't been updated for a couple of weeks. It's simple ... I've been away somewhere nice and sunny, recharging my batteries.

First things first, deepest and heart felt sympathies and condolences from myself and all the Chelsea Old School to Chris "Chubby" Henderson, who has recently lost his father.

Now, some of the emails that have arrived while I've been away:

24th August 2006

Did anyone see MacIntyre on Channel Four last night? Blimee, you could have knocked me down with a feather when he demonstrated that if you leave your laptop on the front seat of a flashy unlocked motor parked next to an estate … it will get nicked! Bit like wandering round Brixton for two nights flashing your laptop and mobile about, innit Donal? The only amazing thing was that it took an entire hour before some likely lads started to break into a bullet proof Audi parked on an estate in Leeds, where he had left a video cam in full view on the front seat.

Then he moved on to the "Crime of the Century": parking in disabled bays. Yeah, I know it's ignorant, but honestly! He was sounding more like Wogan by the minute and was almost creaming himself when he got the guy in the Lambo to move.

Then we had a camera in a police car attending an RTA. Don’t they do that already on things like “Stop! Police!” and a couple of dozen other similar programmes?

And those “Tricks of the Trade” … has that arse got Saint Vitus’ Dance or something? All that moving edgily around his pet grasses and constantly shifting camera angles circling and circling. Dramatic … not!

He had his “Big Sting Hero”, a bloke who is going to film vandals, but apparently hasn’t got anything yet and his team dressed in “Macintyre’s Big Sting” T-shirts. Pathetic!

And the stings? Three young lads got arrested and … wait for it … one got a sixty quid fine, one a conditional discharge and the third got a caution; a very young couple were embarrassed when his cameras and lights set up camp outside their house. Yeah, sure they had his camera, but wasn’t he sooooo understanding when they “found” it? He was even trying to put words in the young lad’s mouth. About the only valuable thing he did was got an Albanian car-thief deported … and that was from a previous series.

The twat was recently quoted as saying: "This show is really to celebrate the victim - I take the view that, at some stage, adult criminals have to take responsibility for their own actions." As far as I could see, most of the victims were named Donal and most of the criminals were youths.

“Big Sting”? Let’s ‘ave it right, it was more like a “Little Attempted Gnat Bite”.

22nd August 2006

Congratulations to my good pal Andy Fraine aka Nightmare and his missus, Kelly, on the birth of their new son. The lad only weighed 1lb 1oz at birth, but he's getting bigger, better and stronger by the day.

17th August 2006

I'd like to congratulate my good pals Darren Crewe and Elaine on the birth of their son Ryan.

To my very good friend Paul Brooker, my very sad condolences on the death of your dad Mick Brooker. Mick was a man who I knew for 20 years, who used to watch me play football and always treated me with the utmost respect; he was never once interested in the MacIntyre saga 'cos he knew me for who I really was. Mick was a man who loved a few pints, his cigarettes and his football. He died quietly in his armchair watching football on the TV with a ciggie in one hand and a can of beer by his side. I'll be attending Mick's funeral today.

Another sad loss was the mum of another very close mate, John Sawyer, who is a life-long Chelsea fan, a very upstanding gentleman and known and respected by many.

14th August 2006

Apologies to anyone who was looking forward to my appearance at The Clink, but Chris the Greek, who was organising it, appears to have gone off on a mission. I'll let you all know when it'll be on.

13th August 2006

Just a sprinkling of received emails:

10th August 2006

I'd like to thank all the people who came from all corners of Great Britain to support Chelsea against Celtic last night. I'd also like to thank the Celtic supporters for paying us a huge compliment:

Wherever they go they take over the places with 10,000 to 15,000 supporters and it was not too long ago when Celtic played Fulham and over-ran the place with their horrible colours. But this wasn't the case last night, as they could only muster less than 3,000. Fulham is only a mile down the road, so maybe the extra mile was too far for them to travel from Kilburn and Cricklewood.

So, for all the Celtic fans who have been logging on to the website and sending me silly emails, I'd like to thank you, 'cos I can't stop laughing. Here's hoping we see you in the Champions League, although I'm not so sure that you'll see it like that. Happy days.

Last, but by no means least, I'd like to thank the policeman who told me last night that he liked my website and that it's "a good 'un".

Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, Mal has given us a live feed to the latest news stories from Hooli-News on the right hand side of this page.

7th August 2006

You may have read an article in today's Daily Star entitled "Footie cops fear Battle of Britain" in which I got a considerable mention. The following is an email sent to The Star by me:

Dear Sirs,
I note the article "Footie cops fear Battle of Britain" makes prominent mention of myself. I should like to point out the following:

1. I haven't spoken to anyone from The Daily Star. The comments attributed to me are taken from an article originally published in "Sunday Life" (16th July 2006). Those quotes are wholly untrue and were never made by me.
2. I never actually went to the Linfield Rangers game, despite the report in the same article.
3. I don't live in Stevenage.
4. Anyone who knows anything about Chelsea and Spurs would know that they would never "join forces", as there is far too much history between them.

I hope this clears things up.

You can read the original Sunday Life article, entitled "Skull Thuggery", over at Hooli-News.

2nd August 2006

If you remember, back on 10th February we carried an email from a friend warning about a BBC undercover operation in Germany aimed at "uncovering" hooliganism. I carried the email on this page "as a reminder to be careful to all those lads going over to Germany in the Summer." Well, the resulting programme "Hooligans" is being shown on BBC1 tonight at 9 pm. You can read a brief review from The Times over at Hooli-News here and the BBC programme information says:

"The shocking untold story of the 'Time to Make Friends' World Cup 2006 - the mindless violence, the racism, the unseen riots and the running battles in German cities as the police tried to protect the hundreds of thousands of genuine fans who were attending the sporting extravaganza."

"Undercover cameras reveal the ugly face of the beautiful game and capture the true extent of England's shame as hundreds of yobs sing, swear and scrap their way across Germany."

... and remember: you read about it here months ago!

By the way, my DVD recorder is in for repairs, so if anyone out there could do a DVD recording of the programme and send it to me via Mal I'd really appreciate it.

26th July 2006

By popular demand, the Find a Prison link is now built into the main menu at the top of the page. You'll find it under "Contact".

19th July 2006

The judge said: “The prisons are full. That is the state of our prison system in this country. It is quite ridiculous.” Many prisons are severely overcrowded, 13 holding more than 1,000 inmates .

The jail holding the most is Wandsworth in London, with 1,463 prisoners, compared with the recommended capacity 965. It means lags are cooped up for 23 hours a day.

I don't know how many of you read those words in an article in today's Sun entitled "8,000 extra crims caged". Now, let's have it right: having almost three years of experience of Wandsworth it's the only prison still run by the POA (Prison Officers Association), so I can honestly say that they're not on a 23 hour bang up because of overcrowding, it's because the screws are all in the clubhouse round the corner and all the time they're in there the cons are behind the door and the screws don't have to look after them.

Any day can be hard in prison, but when two of you are cooped up together in a 6' x 10' cell for 23 hours a day it becomes a real problem. So I'd just like to say please, please don't forget your mates in prison. Receiving a letter means an aweful lot, so get writing.

To help, Mal's put a little Web Magik page together where you can find the address, phone and fax numbers of any of England and Wales' prisons. Click Find a Prison to find one.

17th July 2006

Mal's put together a page of "It's Only a Game" reviews from Amazon. If you go to the Buy Book page you can follow the link from there.

14th July 2006

I'm now back in sunny London, having missed my flight back 'cos I was having such a good time and I'd like to thank all of my people over there for their warmth and hospitality. It was an honour and a privilege to meet so many Loyal people from all over the United Kingdom.

12th July 2006

Right at this moment I'm enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the people in the Rangers Supporters Club in the Shankill Road, Belfast and I'd like to take the opportunity to wish you all my very best on the Glorious 12th.

7th July 2006

Today is the first anniversary of the London bombings and I want to send love from myself and all my family to my fiance Julie's cousin, Martine Wright, who lost both her legs on the Aldgate train in that act of terrorism.

We still get a lot of nice emails and you seem to like reading them, so here's a couple more:

4th July 2006

Like all England fans, I'm gutted at England going out ... and the way it happened! I blame Eriksson myself. Wayne Rooney wasn't getting the ball and I'd like to think any Man U supporters (or away supporters) will BOO Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo for 90 minutes every time they go to Old Trafford. Did you see the way Ronaldo ran up to the ref and grassed him up? He ran out of ink like Shakespeare, so I can honestly say that I wouldn't wanna get nicked with him, cos imagine being in court with him! He'd sweat like Harold Shipman in the dock. He pointed the finger and grassed in a matter of 2 seconds. Now I hear that the ref, Horacio Elizondo, is reported to have said "Sven-Goran Eriksson came into the locker room after the match and congratulated me for an excellent performance and said that I was right to send Rooney off because it was rough play."

Wayne Rooney was fouled but I believe he was too honest for his own good, staying on his feet as he did. Keep going Wayne ... we all support you.

27th June 2006

MARRINER IN THE CLINK

On 16th August 2006 I'll be in The Clink. That is, I'll be doing "An Audience With Jason Marriner" at The Clink Prison, 3 Clink Street, London SE1 [MAP] on 16th August at 8pm. Tickets are £10 each, £15 for stage-side VIP seats. Call Chris the Greek for advanced bookings on 07861 897291 or 0208 640 3260.

For a more up-close-and-personal experience for £5 extra you can meet me at the Zakudia Bar, Riverside Walk, Southwark Park Road (150 yards from The Clink Prison) [MAP] at 6.30 pm for a drink, photo and book signing.

26th June 2006

Right, first off I'd like to thank Graham for sending me down some excellent CDs and Rangers badges. Thanks a lot mate.

And thank you too, to Mikey for the following:

19th June 2006

I'm on Mike Medoza's Talk Sport tonight at 10.40 pm for a 15 minute phone in.

18th June 2006

To all you Dads out there: I'd like to wish you all a very happy Father's Day.

17th June 2006

Listen to this: today the police come round 3 times for me, saying I hadn't handed in my passport. The first time I told them that I had and it was all documented. The second time they decided to claim that I hadn't signed in when the Trinidad & Tobago match was on. Took a while, but I eventually proved them wrong ... and so on!

So, to all the policemen out there reading my website: please try to get yourselves into the police intelligence division, cos you couldn't do any worse than they are doing right now.

On a lighter note, I'd like to thank Martin and Fernando (Bocca Juniors) for the recent T-shirts they recently sent me over. Cheers mates.

15th June 2006

Isn't it funny how England have a shit second half and our press slaughter us, and yet when Brazil do the same thing they are "just not in gear yet"?

Just my personal view, but I truly believe that England can win this World Cup. Stand on me: we will at least make the semi finals!

And don't forget it's Father's Day on Sunday ... and my book would make a tremendous present . If you do buy one then email me your Dad's name so that I sign it properly.

Note from Mal: There's a page on Bad Boys Books giving all the World Cup results, league standings, latest betting odds and Red and Yellow Cards league updated several times per day. CLICK HERE.

12th June 2006

This just arrived from Stevie:

Hello there mate.Kind of owe you an apology.The first time i seen the documentry,i thought,can't believe he fell for that one,but after reading your book & realising the amount of time that the making of it took,i can see that could happen to anybody.The one good thing,if there is any, is that now that you've exposed him for what he is,no one takes any of his stuff seriously.

Daily Record - I'm a rangers fan,so have a look at the link i've sent.Although it affects us at the moment,this could affect all the clubs.Where does it end? Just needs another set of pc followers that go to football these days to say that they're offended by other fans chanting.Suppose that's the way the games went now.

anyway,take care mate
No Surrender

YESSSSS!

9th June 2006

I visited Andy (aka Nightmare) yesterday. He sends his very best to everyone who has been asking about him. He's in very good spirits and looking forward to going to the court of appeal. I'll keep you informed.

From all the feedback we get, most of you enjoy reading the emails we put on here, so here's another couple from the last 24 hours:

7th June 2006

I'm visiting Nightmare tomorrow, so I'll let you all know how he's doing.

Also, I'd like to extend a big thank you to all the Glasgow Rangers fans who bought my book and DVD and a special thank you to Darren, who distributed them.

5th June 2006

I thought it was about time I shared some more of the emails we receive from all you lovely people out there:

4th June 2006

Celtic coming to Stamford Bridge?????? I'll just quote one of the many emails I've had on the subject (this one's from Mark): 

are they off their heads or what !!!

1st June 2006

Just to let you know that I'll be on Sky News tomorrow (6 am and onwards) interviewed about the Banning Orders and handing in passports. I'm also on tomorrow night at 10 pm on Lee Sharpe's International Hooligans Hall of Shame (Bravo).

25th May 2006

Well, I have to report that Nightmare got sentenced to three and a half years but the appeal is looking good for him.

Don't forget, I'm on Talk Sport tonight just after the midnight news on the James Whale Show.

... and a few more of your much-appreciated emails:

23rd May 2006

Listen up, on Thursday night ... well, just after the midnight news ... I'm doing a live phone in interview on the James Whale show on TalkSport Radio. That's on Medium Wave 1089/1053, but there's also a digital channel or you can listen to it at their website. No idea what the phone number is, so listen in, get the number and phone your questions direct to me.

20th May 2006

More good news: Phil Riley, who was almost killed when he fell on an iron spike which went through an artery, is making a good recovery and they'll be flying him home in the not too distant future.

Also, my good mate, Nightmare, who was found guilty on nine counts, has yet to be sentenced. But, already, his solicitor has launched his appeal and been given leave to appeal on all nine counts, so things are definitely looking up.

19th May 2006

Well, Mal's done it again. He's managed to find a recording of part of my interview on Kerrang! Radio last week. Click here to listen. It will only be here for a limited time though cos of something he calls "bandwidth", so listen to it while you can.

18th May 2006

Some good news at last: a very good friend yesterday got his charges dropped from when we played Fulham. Apparently the police were playing for time and he had a very very good barrister.

Also there were about eight Chelsea who got nicked against West Ham; all but one have now had their charges dropped.

My very good pal, Phil Riley, an avid Arsenal fan, tried to climb into the grounds last night but he fell back and a large spike went through his leg and is in a bad way. Phil, I'd like to wish you a speedy recovery and let you know that my thoughts are with you mate.

And finally, in the lead up to the 2006 World Cup, Mal's been working on a new section for Bad Boys Books, called Hooli-News. Any important hooligan related news items that we notice from around the world will appear there. You'll find it at HOOLI-NEWS.

17th May 2006

EIGHT new articles have been added to the Articles Section today, so check 'em out.

16th May 2006

Mal just received the following from his good pal Tel Currie, author of "Bouncers" and "Heroes and Villains" (co-written with Charlie Bronson) ... both excellent books which you can buy from Amazon via Bad Boys Books. Tel runs the Roy Shaw website and knows ALL of the naughtiest people you could possibly imagine:

Hello Mal. How are you?

Just reading Jason Mariner's site, great stuff.

Myself, Roy Shaw and Charlie Richardson and Harry Marsden were saying the other day what a slimey little cunt that Donald Mcintyre is. He's grassed loads of good men and turned cunts into full blown grasses (Yes, I can name names.)

Please give Jason the best from me, Roy, Charlie & Harry and give him my number... XXXXX XXXXXX. If he comes up my way he will be looked after.

If your ever up this way mate, give me a bell.
Regards
Tel

14th May 2006

I'd really, really like to thank my good friend David and each and every one of the Swedish lads from Gothenburg for their incredible hospitality at the weekend. They are really and truly nice people and I had a very good book signing over there. Blimee, they wouldn't even let me buy a drink, so thanks once again lads. I can't sing your praises highly enough.

Yesterday I went and worked at the Chelsea victory parade. Thanks to all of you lovely people who bought DVDs, books, t-shirts, etc. It was absolutely mental!

Now for a little bit of putting the record straight. I received the following email recently:

"Just wondered how you felt about well known 657 lads sucking up to mcintyre and his cronies. Not having a dig just thought it was bang out of order after what the cunt did to you"

This misunderstanding needs to be cleared up. When the series was first made my understanding is it had the title "Toughest Towns" and that it was nothing to do with MacIntyre and none of the lads in that programme met, spoke to or had anything to do with him. It was only after the series was made but failed to get aired that MacIntyre apparently stepped in and put his voice overs on and stuck his name on the title. I've spoken to top lads who were featured in that episode and they are gutted that it appears that they were colluding with the scum. So, to all of you out there reading this, get the message out: Don't always believe everything you see on TV; everything is not as it appears ... especially when it comes to tricky "documentary" makers.

13th May 2006

Thanks to everyone who emails me, they are ALL very much appreciated. Here's another little selection:

12th May 2006

If you missed the first episode of "The Real Football Factories" on Bravo last night then you can catch the first ten minutes, which includes part of the interview with Jason at The Real Football Factories. Mal

11th May 2006

Well, I had a cracking time on Tim Shaw's Asylum up at the KERRANG! studios in Birmingham last night. I was on with Dick 'Gay Bar' Valentine from Electric 6, who bought one of my books (signed of course!). I'll tell you all about it when I get back, but here's a couple of photos to getting on with for now.

Click on the image to see it on the Articles Section.

So, there I stood in front of "honourable" Judge Charles Byers again yesterday in Court Number 1 ... but this time I was lucky enough to be in the public gallery instead of the dock. There was myself, half a dozen journalists, two lying policemen, my QC Michael Wolkind, prosecutor QC Vaudin and the old chocolate fudge himself, the "honourable" Judge Byers (or should that be biased?)

Kick off was delayed by ten minutes due to a crowd surge. It finally started about 3.40 but, to be honest, by 3.39 I knew I weren't gonna get it anyway!

The prosecution had their say and called police spotter John Malloy up and his defence was that I had been seen around the Chelsea grounds and at a certain pub (which is a good four miles from the ground!) and I am known as a "high risk" person. They had printed stuff from my website and went on about my DVD and book (I didn't know it was illegal: 1. to tell my side of the story and 2. to sell DVDs and books!)

What was really nice was to see Michael Wolkind absolutely smash John Malloy to bits, who "presumed" my DVD, book and website glorified football violence, when none of the three do anything of the sort.

To cut a long story short the chocolate fudge said when he first sentenced me that he gave me a twenty year ban, but because the maximum is ten years he had to tone it down. But he made clear that, given the chance, he still wanted to give me a longer ban ... so let's just say that I didn't win my appeal.

Then the "honourable" judge Byers asked me to pay £600 costs for my hearing (I stood up and said "But your Honour, there's nothing wrong with my hearing").

He asked "When will you be paying?"

I replied "The day that that lying officer buys my book!"

Watch this space.
 

I'd just like to add a little bit about my barrister, Michael Wolkind, QC: He has been described in the independent Chambers Directory as "the distilled essence of the great Jury advocate" and "a star in trials". The Directory added that he is "one of the most humorous, entertaining advocates in the game" and is considered by many to be the best cross-examiner at the Criminal Bar. The 2005 Chambers Directory adds that he is "a virtuoso performer who lights up the courtroom with great stagecraft and verbal facility."

9th May 2006

First of all I'd like to thank all of the people for their fantastic hospitality in Liverpool at my book signing on Friday. What a lovely bunch of people you are.

Today I'm up at Blackfriars Crown Court trying to get my football ban lifted, but I ain't holding my breath. I'll let you know tomorrow how I got on.

Tomorrow night I'm being interviewed on Kerrang! Radio (105.2) on Tim Shaw's Asylum sometime between 10 pm and 1 am, so that should be interesting.

Oh, and don't forget to watch "The Real Football Factories" on Bravo Thursday night at 10. I'm in it with Danny Dyer.

3rd May 2006

Got a call today from an Italian publishing company who want to translate my book and publish it in Italy, so it might not be too long before all you Italian fans can buy and read my book in your own language. Cushti!

Meanwhile, Mal has started a new Gallery using photos from my book signings that have been sent in. If yours aren't there yet don't panic, it's a time consuming job says Mal, but he'll get round to them all eventually.

1st May 2006

I'd like to thank everyone from far and wide who has sent me a text, phoned me, emailed me, sent smoke signals about Chelsea winning the league.

And now for some of those emails:

28th April 2006

Right, first of all let's get this straight: personally, I don't agree with the England national football team being managed by any foreigner. It's our national team and it should be run by an Englishman. That's got that off my chest.

Now then, a little while back Chelsea had "illegal" talks with Ashley Cole of Arsenal and as a result Chelsea were fined £300,000 and given a suspended three-point deduction, Cole was fined £100,000 and Jose Mourinho received a fine of £200,000. But it seems that the English FA can talk to Brazilian Luiz Scolari about a contract to manage our national team while he still has a contract with Portugal with three months left to run on it. Looks very much to me like one rule for them and another one for us, don't it?

27th April 2006

There's a good review of my book just been put up at Vital Football. Here's another of those nice emails I keep getting about the book and DVD.

congratulations jason on a great dvd and book 10/10 the book is a great read once started its very hard to put it down its very funny in places but also disturbing how easy it is to get stiched up by someone like mcinlies this wanka will do anything for his 5 mins of fame.take it easy lee the spurs fan

26th April 2006

I just thought you might be interested in seeing the cheeky letter that I got from the police about the Chelsea Liverpool match. If you click on it you'll be able to read it in a new articles page.

Now, what I want to know is this: during school holidays do all the nonces get similar letters warning them not to go near kids playgrounds?

25th April 2006

Mal's working on a new gallery page for all the photos that are currently being sent in from my book-signings, so you should see your pics up there soon. He's also built a new website called Bad Boys Books to save him answering the untold emails he gets asking if he knows a good book on naughty subjects. Well worth a look.

More good stuff in the email bag:
 

1.	Hiya Jason & Mal... What can I say ?? We had a wonderful day with you and your mates !! This time last week I was sooooooo excited for Saturday now this week its just another day !! :o( Like you said on your comments on the website shame about the OB popping in but you got some kodak moments ! and I think its very RUDE that not one of them bought a book ! As for the book I cant put it down the saying is so ture 'Every coin has two sides "! Jason, you and your friends are very very welcome at The Whitehouse any time & it would be lovely to see you again. I would also like to thank Andy Turner & Andy Garner for thinking of us when you were looking for somewhere to do the signing !! Next time your in Lads the 1st ones on me !!! Ok Ok the 1st few then !!! Until next time Stay Lucky & Be Good !! Lots of Love  Lucy & Bob. xxxxxxxxxx The Whitehouse Offerton.
2.	Jason, Thanks very much for the dvd and book you signed and sent to me. It is much appreciated and they are very much treasured. I would like to fully recommened both to any football lads out there as they are a real eye opener and can teach us all some very important lessons. I'd like to say that both were a very good idea and it's very satisfying to hear the man on the street actually having his say and putting his word across about the evil corrupt left-wing communists out there such as those at the BBC and McInlies, especially after being completely stitched up by them and their puppets that are Tony Blair's political police. Both the corrupt BBC and McInlies must be reeling at the knowledge of your dvd and book as it gives your side of the story for a change and exposes their corrupt evil to so many of the people who may not have been aware of your innocence and of the evil minds behind the makers of this programme. If any of the evil communist paracites out there who where responsable for this sick stitch up of a programme happen to be reading this, I would like to say that Jason has proved his innocence to so many who may have been naive enough to believe your lies in the first place and you have been exposed and found out now by so many yet again for being the evil corrupt left-wing vermin that you are, and even less now can you hide your sick minds with your lies. Well done Jason, you have opened a lot of eyes to what the BBC and they're sort are REALLY all about and what they get up to, something they are always use to getting away with. Good luck mate and may the commies at the BBC burn in hell. Martin. CFC HH
3.	Hi i'm from Albania...  jason marriner is legend...  best regards  from Albanian fans
4.	Hello, Im Luke from Germany, and I think your website is great. I only wish I was English. Chelsea forever!

24th April 2006

I hope you all have suitably thick heads after yesterdays celebrations.

"Tonight with Trevor McDonald" at 8:00 pm on ITV this evening is a programme made about my fiancé's cousin, Martine Wright (if you remember, I wrote about her on 27th February below). Martine lost both her legs in the July 2005 terror attacks on London. For the last eight months, cameras have followed her agonising recovery, as she battled mental and physical pain, fights for compensation and learns to walk again on her new artificial legs.

23rd April 2006

20th April 2006

Well, the emails and phone calls continue to roll in. Here's just one of the ones that arrived today:

Cheers for the DVD and Book, which arrived so quickly. I watched the DVD first and now I can't put the book down!!

When the programme first came out, I could see some of the lies and bollocks that that twat Donut Macintyre came out with and what a stitch up it was. Even my 62 year old man (another CFC supporter) could see what a load of shite it was. How the BBC could pump £300,000 into that piece of shit was beyond me, let alone let the prick carry on with his twisted idea of "investigative journalism".

Hearing your full side of the story was pretty scary, as I was over in Copenhagen and been to many other European games and let's be honest, we've all done a bit of the old bragging with a few sherbets inside us. That you could get a six stretch for that is beyond belief, but that's the state of British Justice for you.

Glad to see you making a bit of cash out of the experience, let's hope many more read the book and see the DVD and that Macintyre gets the full exposure that he deserves.

Maybe you should ask the BBC if they'd do a programme telling your side of the story - somehow I don't think they'd do it, though!

Anyway, all the best mate and regards to Andy Frain.

No Surrender

19th April 2006

I'd like to say a massive thank you to the Stockport lot for a quality turnout and another big thank you to Andy Turner (and to Andy Garner for fuck all ). Good to see all the usual suspects there. Also I'd like to thank Lee Spence from Oldham and Boatsy from Nottingham Forest for coming over to see me. I was a bit disappointed that the OB kept popping in and out all day, but not one of them bought the book! It was my best book signing up north so far without doubt so I'd like to salute each and every one of ya for making my day.

I don't know how many of you caught the documentary on ITV1 last night entitled "The Forgotten Fan", but I doubt there's many of you who don't remember the name of Michael Shields. Michael is an 19 year old Liverpool fan who was banged up in a Bulgarian jail last year (when he was just 18), charged with attempted murder of local waiter Martin Georgiev. Despite all the evidence that Michael wasn't there and didn't have anything to do with it ... including a confession from someone in this country that they were the culprit ... Michael was found guilty by the Bulgarian court and sentenced to 15 years!!! Can you imagine what it's like to be serving time for something you know you didn't do? I can!

The former head of Nottinghamshire Police's Serious Crime Squad, Peter Coles, who led more than 100 murder investigations and was awarded the Queen's Police Medal, has labelled the jailing of Michael as "a mockery of justice." Coles says British police officers would have been sacked for the alleged blunders he has uncovered and dismissed the evidence as "not worth the paper it's written on." He went on to say: "I would have been appalled then, never mind now. The identification process was a farce, the court proceedings were a farce, the non-collection of available evidence was a farce. It's not acceptable by our own standards."

Michael deserves only one thing: a one way ticket home and I'd like to pull everyone together to help get this lad out of jail. You can all help by putting pressure on the authorities. Our Government should be making a right song and dance about this travesty of justice like I believe the Bulgarians would if the position was reversed. There's a petition at www.petitiononline.com which I urge each and every one of you to sign and there's now an official website at www.freemichaelshields.org. Please help Michael.

15th April 2006

I had a fantastic reception in Wolverhampton yesterday. Special thanks to the Abbo brothers, Mark, Paul & Carl and to Spats and Lawley for also helping out and to my pal Gilly for fuck all :)

It ended early evening due to an altercation where all the windows went through and it went absolutely berserk, because of a couple of lads who couldn't hold their drink. So I say if you can't handle your sherbet then stay outta the sweetshop.

What I would like to say to the rest of the Wolves lads is that they were bang on, really pleased to meet me and I sold loads of books. Respect to you, you know who you are. God bless you and thank you.

Stockport here I come!

14th April 2006

The following just arrived from a member of the Leeds Service Crew:

Hi Mal n Jason,

Its been a couple of months since i sent my first e-mail and you were kind enough to reply so i thought i would drop you guys another line, just to say hello. The site is getting better all the time and the e-mails from lads all around the country make excellent reading. They also show the solidarity and mutual respect that exists between decent lads from all firms. 

This was shown again last week when around 150 messages of condolance were left on the Service Crew website on the 6th anniversary of the murders of Chris Loftus & Kevin Speight in T*rkey. All the top firms were represented along with many others. As a Service Crew lad and a friend of the Loftus brothers, I know the messages were a great comfort not just for the families but also for the Leeds lads in general. Maybe you could say a big thanks from Leeds to all the CFC who took the time to send a messge.

The book looks like it will be a good read, rest assured i will be ordering a copy asap.

Sorry to hear Nightmare's in more trouble. The OB are a right joke these days and the courts are handing down some diabolical sentences. 

Keep up the good work and I hope you have a great St George's Day. I know we will all be out having a few and i am sure you will be.

All the best
Chris

Thank you for that Chris. Is it really six years since? They seem to have sped by, although not, I would imagine, for the families and friends of Chris Loftus and Kevin Speight. My thoughts are with them and their families at this time. I don't care what football teams people support, no one should die because of their choice of allegiance. And don't worry, I'm sure we'll all be raising a glass or three on Saint George's Day. God bless you, Jason

13th April 2006

Rich.

CHELSEA NO SURRENDER !!!! 
MIke.

Hi Mr Marriner!
My name is Alan and I was born to love Chelsea. I'm from Stockholm, Sweden. I've been in London a couple of times and I always watch Chelsea play. I'm 19 years old and I've known who you are since I was 12 and saw the shitwork Macintyre had done to make his name big in public eyes. I believe supporters like you and Andy Frain are just as important to Chelsea as Zola once was and like Terry is now. I'm glad you're out of jail now and I've read your book, it was amazing to see what a great character you have and it was great to see that you're not a heartless gangster.
// Alan

The following is the email that arrived with the Owls mascot photo shown below:

official Burgoyne/Wolverhampton Owls mascot(and dad) with some southern git! seriously here is your copy for the website. great book, our lass has not put it down yet. sex right out the window thanks for nothing. good luck steve,cat and jake- wednesday till we die.

5th April 2006

I'd like to thank everyone in Sheffield for a superb book signing event, especially my good friends Flynnie and his wife Laura.
 

Jason with official Burgoyne/Wolverhampton Owls mascot (and dad)

If anyone has had a chance to read the book and feel that they have anything to say about it please email us, as we'd like to publish your opinions on the website. The following are a few unsolicited comments we have already received over the past few days. Firstly, this morning from someone who's finished reading the book:

Dear Jason,

I have just finished reading your unbelievable book,and feel compelled to write to you.Not only did i find it surprisingly well written,but i found it almost impossible to put down. My entire weekend was spent open mouthed,engulfed in tales of deceit and corruption that at times made me gasp out loud.Most surprisingly of all, these acts of deception were perpetrated not by the man that had just served a lengthy prison sentence,but by a team of reporters working for the most respected television channel in the world. 

I must be honest,I watched the "Macintyre Undercover" programme and read his book and i thought that you deserved everything you got.Even when i bought this book,i bought it as a donal fan after accidentally stumbling into your site whilst looking for information on the man.

After reading your book you'll be pleased to know that my views on you both have completely reversed. I no longer see you how you were portrayed.A violent thug with no concern for anybody but yourself and the animals you mixed with.And i no longer see Macintyre as a brave fearless crusader .

While i don't pretend to know or mix with anyone like you,i see that you have your own code of ethics and morals that i can understand and even admire. Whilst it seems Macintyre and his cronies have none what so ever and will use anyone and any method to get their story.

I'm no mug,and whilst i was reading your book i'd be lying if i said that i didn't occur to me that you might also be economical with the truth,to further your own ends.It's not as if you were totally unbiased against the man and what better revenge than to falsely discredit the man. However after reading your account of at times acts of jaw dropping manipulation of the truth,these fears are allayed by the inclusion of court transcripts of the cross examination of Donal Macintyre that seem to bear out your claims. During this cross examination Macintyre in my opinion is proven to be a complete liar ,and can't claim to be misrepresented because rather than "cherry pick "the juiciest bits,you have recorded the exchange in it's entirety leaving us to be able to form our own opinion.Something Macintyre should learn from.

I now am left feeling angry that i was conned by an institution as reputable as the BBC and am disappointed that i can no longer trust anything that i watch on television.

I wonder if you would be kind enough to publish this e-mail on your website because i for one would like to try and make amends or at least try to make a difference.

I will be writing to the BBC to express my shock at their lack of morals in the Macintyre Undercover series,and as a license paying viewer demand that some sort of procedure be put in place to stop this sort of deception happening again. I will also be writing to channel 5 informing them i will never again watch anything they care to broadcast that has anything to do with Donal Macintyre. I would urge everyone to do the same.Maybe if we get enough people to complain,maybe if we the public make enough fuss we can show these tv companies that we will not accept this kind of fraudulent programme masquerading as factual television.

I will be recommending your book to everyone i know,but it does seem a shame that you can only buy it through your website. I strongly believe everyone in the country should read your book,it should serve as an eye-opener to what really goes on in the world of television,and should act as a warning to everyone, that what has happened to you could easily happen to them.

I will make a nuisance of myself at W H SMITH and Ottakers i will keep asking about your book,can they get it and if not why not .And again i would urge everyone to do the same.If enough people keep asking maybe someone will make it available for general release.

I wish you every success in your quest to reveal THE TRUTH

regards Jerry

Cheers Jerry. Don't know you from Adam but thank you very much for your honesty, which is really appreciated.

Alright Mate
I am Paul Allen, author of Flying With The Owls Crime Squad, and I am looking forward to reading your book. Hope your night up in our fair city was a good un yesterday. I wasn't around myself, due to living 3,000 miles away, but I was there in spirit.
All the best fella
Paul

and:

Got the DVD and book through Saturday thanks for signing them it was a nice gesture, cheers mate. I think you have more than justified your innocence with the book, revealations of how they tryed to snare you into a trap was disgusting and that prick and his sidekick should have been in the dock full stop. But fuck em heres to you Jason and all the future success of your book a certain bestseller. PS I aint never read a book as much with cockney ryming slang as yours it kept me well entertained.
All the best, No surrender
STAFF, Wigan

30th March 2006

Just to let you all know that we've been inundated with orders for the book over the past 24 hours, so we're going flat out on them. Next news or changes to the website will be in a couple of days.

27th March 2006

There's been a slight hiccup at the printers and all the dust jackets for my book have to be reprinted. No panic though, it just means that my book release has to be put back two days to Thursday 30th March.

25th March 2006

Hickey phoned me today to remind me that it's 20 years to the day when he was dawn raided in operation Own Goal. By God, was that the best own goal I've ever seen. There was more cheating going on in that court case than Maradona's hand ball in the World Cup. Steve made it quite clear to the police before the WBA game then on to Barcelona that he's still very very bitter about what happened to him. But he's turned his £100,000 compensation into half million, travelling 1st class all round the world and having plenty of fun in the sun in the far east. He'd like to raise a glass on this very special day to all friends and foes, especially the police and the government. Cheers.

23rd March 2006

I was filming for Bravo yesterday for a documentary which, at the moment, is called "Hooligan's Hall of Shame Internationals". I've told them that the title is too long, so when it's released it will probably have a shorter name. More news on that soon.

21st March 2006

After the events at Fulham v Chelsea on Sunday, the police decided to dawn raid a very good friend of mine and busted into his place at 7.30 am yesterday. They don't normally work that fast, but it seems as though they want to ensure that he's banned before the start of the World Cup. Well, that's fine as long as they're gonna dawn raid every other one of the hundreds of fans that were on that pitch. He is due in court tomorrow.

And good luck to Nightmare who's due in court on the 31st.

18th March 2006

Good News - my book will be ready to roll out on Wednesday 28th March and you'll be able to buy and enjoy signed copies from this website from that date. I've also got a series of book signings up and down the country and I can give you a couple of dates:

1st April before and after the game - Burgoyne Arms, 246 Langsett Rd, Sheffield [MAP]

6th April @ 7.30 to 8.00 pm - Tones Bar & Restaurant, 458 London Road, North Cheam, Surrey [MAP]

7th April @ 7.30 pm - The Ranch, Hanworth Villa Football Club, Rectory Meadow, Park Road, Hanworth [MAP]

Many more to come, so keep checking back.

17th March 2006

To all my Loyal friends up and down the country, I can assure you that I will NOT be having a drink today. But I'd like you all to raise a glass with me on St. George's Day (April 23rd). God bless you all for our Queen and country.

Now, some more of those emails:

Just a quick note from a 80s Leeds Lad. A Leeds SC book will be coming out end of this year and your lot will be getting a few mentions !!
All the best and good luck with the site.
Ricky - Leeds Service Crew

"I'll get Mal to put this on my Home Page to help promote the book for you. I hope when you mention Chelsea the truth will be told, as, in all these books, no one has the arsehole to say when they've been done and when they've been run .. and it's happened to all of us at some point in our careers. All the best, Jason."

Best wishes go out to the Boro fans injured last night. I got a lot of respect for Boro, one of the gamest firms in the country.
Paul - Richmond Spurs

Respect Paul. I'm sure most people will agree with you on that one son.

just found your website mate,fuckin brilliant,keep up the good work. just goes to show you can't keep a god man down.
all the best till the next time, elmo from glasgow.no surrender

16th March 2006

I hope all the Boro fans are safe and well after having fun and games over there in Rome. I've said it before: Boro are the best northern firm I've ever seen, so Respect to all of you and have a safe journey home. Good luck to Boro in the next Round.

15th March 2006

Yessssssss!!! You asked us for it, you pleaded with us for it, you nagged us for it ... so now you've got it. You can now purchase items from my site by

13th March 2006

Just a note to say that Andy Frain didn't get sentenced for various reasons but it should take place in about two weeks. Good luck Andy.

11th March 2006

Just thought you might be interested in reading a few more of the emails I get every day of the week:

alrite mal...just been reading about the "real football factorys".good stuff?thing is theres been too many bollocks documentorys on firms etc so having something done by a well respected lad ie jason makes a change..im sure uve seen them with thier little jacket cams strange how they never actually get really involved when it goes off big time innit.......its a real pity that donal mcfuckintire didnt get a real hiding when he went away with chelsea instead of a little smack..best off luck with the upgrades etc to the site..
becksy ..burnley fc

"I agree Becks. I don't believe he even got a little slap ... all show for the camera. I have pals up and down the country, but I don't know anyone from Burnley but seen good sized mobs of em with England and I have the utmost respect for them. Shame cos I'd have loved to have arranged a book signing up there. All the best, Jason"

Alrite,
Found your site on the web a few weeks back and have to say I find it pretty funny! Your tongue in cheek comments and general overall outlook on life are truly uplifting and are the source behind my laughter. Also think that you're a perfect example of how to do things for yourself and not let any other pricks out there ruin it for you- no matter how hard they try. * COUGH* McIntyre.
Keep up the good work mate!
Jamie

"Thanks for your kind words mate. I don't care who you support .. if you're a nice bloke you're a nice bloke. Total respect. Jason"

only jus come across this site of yours....
dunno if you remember about 3 years ago when you owned a gaff in kos,

p.s i see that snitch mcintire (the muggy undercover fella) on the train the other day....
told him hes scum etc
millwall lad

10th March 2006

My book is now at the printers and here's the first view of the proposed cover:

and here's the blurb that goes with the book:

Never judge a book by its cover - this is anything but just another volume on terrace violence.

Jason Marriner, the target of BBC1's "McIntyre Undercover" programme, now reveals the shocking hidden story behind this documentary and invites you to decide for yourself whether he is the "ugly face of football hooliganism" or the high-profile victim of a gross miscarriage of justice.

In "It's Only A Game", Jason is now at liberty to reveal the truth behind some of the most dramatic scenes ever broadcast, such as the away trip to Copenhagen and the infamous car journey to Leicester.

A "grass", stalking, incitement, counterfeit goods, drugs and offshore accounts - these were just some of the ploys used by McIntyre's band of unscrupulous reporters, armed with limitless funds to get their man at any cost.

Jason freely admits he's been a "nuisance" at football in the past but after 18 months' surveillance and 344 hours' worth of secretly-shot footage in the can, the reporters did not have a single crime recorded. So the show's producer simply cut, altered and edited each scrap to create an hour's worthy of severely distorted "entertainment".

What's more, having been slandered by this documentary to a TV audience of 7 1/2 million the same film is then used as the sole evidence to convict Jason and his friend, Andy Frain, of conspiracy to commit violent disorder and affray, for which Jason was sentenced to six years' jail.

A lesser man may well have buckled serving such a long time for crimes he did not commit, but not Jason. And with inimitable humour he reveals what really goes on behind bars - the scams, the knockbacks and an epic Cons v Screws football match - as he progresses through the prison system.

For this story is no mere act of bitterness on Jason's part, it is more a cautionary tale as what happened to him will almost certainly happen again - and next time it could easily be you.

However, "good will always follow bad," is a maxim Jason lives by and above all, "It's Only A Game" is a story about winning against the odds.

7th March 2006

Mal has just arranged dynamic football news content for my website. Just scroll down a little way and you'll find it below the "Flags" ad on the right hand side. Cushti!

4th March 2006

Good luck to my good mate Andy Frain on Monday, when he's up on the conspiracy charge, although he's been told that he has a one-way ticket to the jug with plenty of smack-heads.

We're getting dozens of emails a day from all over the world these days. Here's a couple that are fairly typical:

Cracking website,cant wait for the book to come out,got a few lads here in Malta to look at website,stay loyal stay proud,you know the truth,all the best for the book and dvd, James ex west ham now living in malta

Fair play to you James. Hope you're enjoying life over in Malta. You're better off over there mate, where you've got more chance of having a successful life without being stiched up.

Hi Mr Marriner !
Just want to send you a greeting from Norway mate.
I`m glad to see you doing well after the prick mcintyre tried everything to ruin your life.Keep up the good work !
Also had the pleasure to meet Fat Pat in London when i went there with a good friend from Feyenoord last season.
We had a craking night in Pats flat !!He was a great bloke !Funny as fuck !!
Best regards Tommy.

Alright Tommy. Good to see you logging in and that you can see that MacInlies cannot keep a good man down. Glad you met my good pal Pat who's always good company and the truth's very close to coming out mate ... the book will be out a lot sooner than people think, i.e. long before the World Cup. Jason

Firstly, I'd like to thank Martin and Fernando from Bocca Juniors for sending me over the Barrabrava tee-shirts and hats. That was very kind of you lads.

I'd also like to salute the fans from Leeds, West Ham, Oxford, Bristol City and Nottingham Forrest who were with a very close Chelsea friend of mine out at the Lazio vs. Roma derby in Rome last Sunday. No one got funny with each other and they all stood shoulder to shoulder and led by example.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I've just finished filming with Danny Dyer (who played Tommy Johnson in "The Football Factory"). We were filming a new six part series called "The Real Football Factories", which will be out on Bravo some time before the World Cup. I'd like to say that Danny still has his feet firmly on the ground; we had a beer or two together and he is a genuinely nice feller.

Finally, thanks to Pete who sent Mal the following link: Peter Osgood Book of Condolence.

PETER OSGOOD
20th February 1947 - 1st March 2006

A LEGEND for both old and young alike, Peter Osgood, passed away this morning aged just 59, after collapsing in the chapel at Slough Crematorium while attending a family funeral. He will be sadly missed. My heartfelt condolences to all of Peter's family and friends.

27th February 2006

Sorry about the delay in updating the site, but I have been very busy organising the publication of my book and Mal has been away for a week in London.

Last Sunday I was at the Joey Pyle Benefit Evening. I was on my pal Jimmy White's table with my good friend Allan Paramasivian. All the right faces were in the right places and we had a great time. The money raised went towards an operation that Joe needs. Respect and God Bless Joe.

hi jason

i am a 33 year old lad from manchester who loves football and like yourself loved the tear up in the 80s and 90s i followed man united all over the country,i was fucking gutted for you and andy when i saw the bull shit mcintyre was pulling on his tv show what a dickhead,anyway i work for dixons in manchester and last summer mcintyre came into my shop,i spotted him straight away and said fuck off out of my shop you are not welcome you grassing bastard,he looked shocked and took a step back and said what are you talking about,i said i am sticking up for mr marriner and mr frain who you stiched up,what right do you have taking peoples freedom away,he said i keep in contact with the prisons they are both in,and its the best thing that could of happened to them as they are doing well and learning,i responded and said fuck of mcintyre you are a marked man up north and down south and one day he will get his,he reported me to my head office and i got a final warning for my actions but i dont regret one word i said,anyway would love to come down london next time man u are playing down there and i will get you a beer mate,goodluck and well done with the site,please reply to my email

best regards
paul

My reply to Paul was:

"Top Man" Paul. Spot on and respect to you. For some reason MacIntyre thinks he can just strut around after grassing up so many people. You sound like a man that has morals, trust, loyalty and principals ... four things I'm very much into. I know a few of the Man U lads and they're good pals of mine. As you will have guessed, MacIntyre is a lying cunt and that's what he does for a living. If you ever see him again, thank him for caring for us so much! God Bless You mate. Jason.

Government Health Warning

My fiance Julie has a cousin, Martine Wright, who was the last woman on the Aldgate train that got blown up by the Muslims. Martine lost both her legs in that act of terrorism. Our Government offered her £55k compensation per leg, i.e. £110k, which don't go very far these days. She lives in second floor flat, so she now has to move and have everything adapted for her, so you can see that the money isn't gonna cover much. Someone recently had a charity do for her and raised £20k to help her. Subsequently, someone in OUR poxy government has decided to deduct that £20k from her compensation money and reduce it down to £90k. Now, what sort of cold, calculating, inconsiderate c*nt could make that sort of decision and how can they possibly sleep at night?

17th February 2006

My mate Colin Gault just landed yesterday from Argentina after spending 3 months out there at Bocca Juniors. The lads out there took him to a few games and treated him with the utmost respect. They sent him back with a load of tee-shirts and stuff and I'd just like to thank all the of boys over there. Respect to all of yuh.

11th February 2006

My good friend Andy Frain just got found guilty on Friday on a get-up charge. Basically he's already been told he's looking at a few years. Sorry I couldn't make the drink today Andy, as I explained to you yesterday on the phone, but you know I will do what I can for you while you're away. All the lads send their best and Respect. Your pal, Jason.

10th February 2006

I've just received the following email and thought I'd better put it up as a reminder to be careful to all those lads going over to Germany in the Summer:

thought you would like to know and maybe but up a warning for others to read?

i have a relative who drives for the bbc the other day he was asked by some knob who films undercover programs if he would be interested in earning some extra cash this summer.

now this lad is money mad but with a little brains. he was asked if he would be willing to travel to Germany drink and do what lads do you know whilst wearing a hidden camera.

I dont believe this is hear say like i say hes money mad i mean when he was younger he would sell his bloody Christmas presents back to his old man for fuck sake.

now Ive told him to keep well away cos hed be shitting on his own even though hes not involved in fv of any kind and neither am i by the way Ive just been told about this site by someone i know when telling them about this issue

what worries me if he doesn't do it someone will thats for sure maybe this could be put on this site so others could post this elsewhere so know one is caught out by these bastards

cheers for taking your time reading this ..... ps the bloke who does these programmes Ive never heard of and have forgotten and i promise you im no crank..

good luck with the site and book

5th February 2006

I have just got to add this little bit to my last one. The Judge sent Dave and Blue to prison, both with the 4 mile radius bans around Chelsea matches. Not a problem while you're in prison, you would think, wouldn't you? Yeah, except for the fact that they've been put into HMP Wandsworth which means that today, while Chelsea were beating Liverpool, the lads were within the 4 mile radius ... so they were breaking the law! I wonder when their new case will come up?

After careful thought and consideration I was wondering whether the honorable judge in the case would be so kind as to move them from that 'orrible pisshole to a better venue, as he seems to have been the cause of them offending within 2 days of getting sent down. 

3rd February 2006

I've just walked out of court where my mate Dave has been sentenced to two years and Blue got nine months. Both of them received a ten year ban so they mustn't go within four miles of a ground where Chelsea are playing 4 hours before and 4 hours after a match. The other two there got a squeeze and walked, although they still got five year bans.

Dave was on the light ales last night and tucked into a nice egg and bacon sandwich before going into court. As the judge was waffling on, Dave suddenly just throws up (not down to nerves, just the light ales) and the sentencing had to be suspended for a few minutes while Dave went out and cleaned himself up. When he came back into the courtroom he was laughing his head off. Highly amusing!

OK boys, everyone's thoughts are with you. Respect.

31st January 2006

I'd just like to say a huge thank you for all the kind comments and support I'm getting from lads all round the country, wishing me good luck with the book.

30th January 2006

A couple of nice emails just came in that I thought I'd share with you:

Just got your DVD through the post. Two words mate "different class", an honest and genuine true account of you and what really happened. A must for all to see. Keep up the good work and stay Loyal.
FTP and God bless you.
Rossi (a true blues brother)

and:

Good afternoon

Just found your site via a link from Dodgy Daves site and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed what I saw.

Glad to see you have put your experience with THAT twat to good use (which in all honesty must piss him right off) and hopefully exploiting you infamy and making some money out of it...??

You dont know me from adam but I just wanted wish you well with whatever you do (and the book) you seem a decent bloke and I found your site refreshing in its honesty warts and all (cant wait for the book..!!) keep up the good work.

I will be down for Mr.Pyles benefit dinner in Feb and will hopefully introduce myself over a beer or three and just to make sure you have some spending money bring me a couple of your dvds and I will bung you twenty bar...!!

Take care.

It was reported in the London Evening Standard on Thursday that Donal MacIntyre's car was damaged by someone. According to the report, MacIntyre reckons it has something to do with revenge and two people who he contrived to put behind bars, i.e. me and Andy.

What have I got to say about it?

Pathetic! MacIntyre is not that important to me. I couldn't give two fucks for him and I have far better things to do with my time, so I can categorically deny having any involvement. There are a million and one people out there who despise the prick. I actually don't believe anything happened; he's just out for whatever publicity he can get to keep himself in the public eye.

20th January 2006

My mate Dave's sentencing has been put off for another couple weeks as all paperwork wasn't ready ... but to be fair to the authorities, they've only had a year to sort it out!

17th January 2006

A little message to start with to all my continental friends who have been ordering the DVD: We've been swamped with orders for it but are we're now catching up and they should all be sent out within the next day or two.

Today I dotted the last "i" and crossed the last "t" on my book. I'm really excited about this and I can promise you one hell of a read. It'll now take a little while to get it fully published and printed but it will be out and available before the World Cup starts.

The popup advertising Joey Pyle's Lifetime's Achievement night in February will be with us until the event and then it will vanish. It's the least we can do to help the acknowledged king of the "chaps" in London.

13th January 2006

A message to my very good friend Paul Murrell who is currently on a cruise playing in a poker tournament: Good luck Muzzer. Hope you win loads of money mate. Stay sharp and God bless ya.

12th January 2006

In the interest of fairness and because there are always two sides to a story  I have decided to publish Andy Nichols reply to me here. My own piece was written from the heart, as pricks like Lowles (and his friendship with MacIntyre) are completely out of order and shouldn't be involved with the likes of us. I can only say that I have friends who are top boys up and down the country who have been on the phone to me about the book and how pissed off they are about some of the things that are said. Maybe we should all make sure we do our homework before we work with people we don't know. Good luck to you Andy:

Just read your "review" on the book fella and as you do thought I would put you straight on a few things.

1. History of the book.
Milo who I did Scally with had been working on the book for 3 years but it had been shelved for a couple of years and I was asked to put my name to it and get contacts from as many clubs as possible as it was all news paper stuff etc and Pete Walsh thought it may not sell without a name to it or decent club contacts in it. All I did was chase up mates at clubs and through them got people at most clubs to do bit. Never knew who Nick Lowles was until a bloke on ITK got in touch and warned me. Still thought fuck all of it as I dont know him and yes I was hoping to earn money from the book. I was naive and should of done my home work, appreciate he is not liked in football circles although the plus side is he has had the same problem with me given my past involvement with the NF and BNP.

2. Names in the book.
Everyone I interviewed agreed to either have there name in it or not, simple as.
Every other mention would have come from researchers like NL and that must have been available through newspaper cuttings and library archieves. Again appreciate that it has pissed people off but fuck all I can do about it.

3.People I have pissed off
You mention a few names yourself, Denton I dont know have never met and if he was the one sending me mail about the book well believe me it contained plenty about your lads naming names in books so your off the mark just slating me fella.Zulu's pissed off, tell me who? Went there the other week and they put me up in a box and took me out till 4 in the morning, get your facts right mate or you end up losing face. At the end of the day projects like this are going to piss people off, try doing a book and not pissing people off, yours is out soon unless you have sat on the fence which I doubt you have you will piss people off, but jumpimg on a bandwagon having a cheap shot at me leaves you wide open for digs when your book comes out.

If you do read this, I'd like to know your thoughts on the subject doubt some how that you will. Whatever, good luck with your book and the whole hooligan net working.
Andy Nicholls

10th January 2006

The reason I began this website was not to slag other people off or to cause trouble, but I really have to say something about "Hooligans: A-L of Britain's Football Gangs". What a load of bollocks! But then, what do you expect when it was written by Andy Nicholls with left-wing journo Nick Lowles of Searchlight magazine! Well, I say it was written by Nicholls and Lowles but from what I'm told Nichols just put his name to the book which was written by Lowles. It contains factual inaccuracies (for instance stating that Tony Covele's first conviction was in 1978), which is hardly surprising given the reputation Searchlight has for printing rumour and innuendo (see independent reviews of Lowles' books Mr Evil and White Riot: The Violent Story of Combat 18). I know that the Zulus have got the right hump with Nichols over the book, as has Denton from Arsenal and lots of other people ... and rightly so, as they have no shame in naming anybody and have slagged every one off. Nicholls ain't done himself any favours by putting his name to this book. If you're gonna put your name to a book you've gotta put up with the critisism. The next part (M to Z) is due out soon ... I wonder how many more people they're gonna upset with that one?

Oh, and on top of all that, a very good source tells me that Lowles is a very good friend of that prick MacIntyre.

6th January 2006

The Stockport lads who were nicked (I mentioned on 23rd December) are up in court this week, so I'd just like to wish them all GOOD LUCK and let me know how you get on.

Mal's been beavering away and produced a new page for the website of comments we've received by email. You'll find it at Comments. Let us know what you think of the site and what you might like to see here by emailing Mal.

4th January 2006

Congratulations to my good pal Gilly Shaw (one of the Wolverhampton lads) for getting a Not Guilty at Woolwich Crown Cout today. He was down at Millwall last year, but he was on a banning order. He stopped and asked a copper what was the nearest he could go to the ground, as he wasn't allowed within 250 metres cos he was just there for a drink. The copper told him where he could go, but when he got there another copper nicked him for being within the 250m exclusion zone. Not only did he get a Not Guilty, but the court gave him £350 for travelling expenses! Blimee, it's never cost me 350 notes to travel to the Midlands. What would he have got if he'd been arrested in China?

And while I'm on the subject of Gilly, he's only gone and got nicked at West Bromwich Albion on the 2nd January. All I can say, Gilly, is Happy New Year mate!

[Note from Mal: You'll find Gilly's book "Gilly - Running With A Pack of Wolves" on the Market Page. Excellent read!]

3rd January 2006

I've just received the following email from Dean Woodland:

"I purchased your DVD from you Saturday b4 the game against the brummies. Thanks for signing it for me great touch. Watched the DVD when I got home thought it was very good. Its good to see you havent let that prick Macyntyre fuck your life good stuff. Keep it blue. Cheers once again."

Thanks Dean. And I'd like to hear from anyone else who's bought a copy what you think. I will be happy to go to any venue in Britain or Europe to do a DVD signing if you can get a fair crowd in, so if you're interested just email Mal and we'll arrange something. In the meantime, you can buy a signed copy of "Hooligan!" by clicking HERE.

Mal tells me that the visitor figures are still rising and that we got over 1,700 visitors on the first day of the New Year. He's also updated the Flags Page to take into account all the new visitors' nationalities.

1st January 2006

to all of our visitors. Yesterday this was a record 1,485 people!

30th December 2005

I hope you've all had a nice Christmas. I had a quiet one ... although not as quiet as the one I spent in Wandsworth! I'm off to a party on New Year's Eve at my brother-in-law Paul's house, which will beat the cheese and biscuits party I had in HMP Elmley, although we did have a few cheeky vodkas .

Here's hoping you all have a great New Year and that you stay prison-free. Thanks for all your support with the new website and keep coming back cos we'll be putting lots of new stuff on over the coming weeks and months. Mal tells me we got 500 people visiting the site yesterday, which is fantastic.

A message to Dave the Twin and his co-defendant, who have just got a Guilty for violent disorder over a row at Aston Villa. They get sentenced in mid-January and I hope you get the least sentence possible. Good luck to the two who got Not Guilty and to the man who got an Undecided I hope you don't get a retrial.

Goodnight, God Bless, Stay Sharp and No Surrender.

25th December 2005

Well over 200 people visited the site yesterday. That's amazing considering it was Christmas Eve. To all of you I'd like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Now it's time to open those presents.

24th December 2005

A special Christmas message to Martin and Bocca Juniors Twelve: Have a great party from Jason and the Chelsea Headhunters.

WOW! Word spreads fast. In the first five days since the website was launched we've been receiving an average of 350 to 400 visitors per day and you're coming here from all over the World. You can see where all our visitors are from by Clicking Here.

... and to all our friends out their, wherever they are right now, we have a special message for you. Click Here.

Because of all the hits from all over the World, Mal thought it would be a good idea to add a Babelfish Translator to some of the pages. You should see the entire Babelfish box at the bottom of the column on the left on this page. On other pages you'll find just the flags somewhere. Just click on a flag and the page will be translated into whatever language. Nice one Mal!

23rd December 2005

As people are aware, I have a lot of mates "Up North", including Stockport. So I'd like the twelve Stockport fans who were arrested in police raids in the early hours of Monday to know that you're in my thoughts lads and I'd like to say to them that if you can't have a Merry Christmas then I wish you a right "Not Guilty" New Year!

22nd December 2005

My DVD "Hooligan!" is now available. You can't get it in the shops, but you can buy it directly from this website. All you have to do is go to the Market Page and click on the DVD to find out how to get hold of your own signed copy.

19th December 2005

My very good friend Paul O'Donovan  recently lost his mother. My deepest sympathies go to Paul and his family at this sad time.

Also, my thoughts are with Gary, Ricky and Kelvin Ewing who lost their father. We all go way back to the early 80's.

Myself and all the other Chelsea Headhunters would like to send a massive Get Well to Joey Pyle Senior.

And to Tony Covelle, who broke his leg in several places in Anderlecht last month, get better before the World Cup mate!
