Rhodes Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Later (a few weeks, months?) SA was mooted, Rhodes wasn't involved in that at any stage. We both know perfectly well that's not true, I can post the Constitution I painstakingly drafted if anyone wishes as I still have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil-Don Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Really dont want to start sounding too much like an apologist for Uncle Urchin here as the old fecker never paid me all my money owed for painting his bar but such remarks as this do seem to be the 'order of the day' on this thread: 'I do know that a fair few bob was taken that day & not all of it was registered on the till ! UU didn't seem to upset with that.' funny that everyone involved with Southill never criticised him until he was well out of the way,apparentely he did the 'dirty' on the club in July 2009 but the criticism only started on here over a year later,he seems to be turning into a public hate figure,well he may or may not be a 'wrong un' but no one should be convicted without a trial and without his side of the story thats what you are doing.its almost like people waited till he was out of the way and wouldnt reply before they started telling stories about him.

We both know perfectly well that's not true, I can post the Constitution I painstakingly drafted if anyone wishes as I still have it sorry this winds me up now i really dont want to intrude on your 'fun and games' but you know loose that Rhodes was indeed involved and you and your secretary have both been deceitful on this issue which resulted in Rhodes bearing a grudge against your club after all this time cant you at least tell the truth.

Basil-Don Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I will leave this discussion now(unless I am called back) I will say this,there is one person who I do feel sorry in all this,that person was with us on some of our great days 3 years ago and although warned by a few Hornchurch people about getting involved (not so much with SA but an individual) didn't listen to any of the warnings,sometimes you learn the hard way but you were not the first and won't be the last.If that person is reading this you would be welcome back over the bridge at anytime,I am sure thanks Rob thats very decent of you i'll be over when im free and i'll allow you Urchins to buy me a drink to show that theres no hard feelings Cheers.

Basil, It wasn't a criticism, just a fact. UU wasn't the first & won't be the last to pull a fast one on the taxman. We were warned about him & I knew about the situation with HX & AFCH, but sometimes you get taken in. We'll learn from our mistakes & move on, but it's been good fun while it lasted.

Rhodes Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Patently you have not read it from cover to cover. The quote from Gordon Boateng alone is twice the length of the SA article! And as NL24 hasn't been published for at least 3 months then there is certainly no chance of confusion. Sjj2112 - Yes, apologies, I've seen it now, thanks for bringing it to my attention. What game did you attend on Saturday out of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syd_lexic Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Of course I do, why would I write it if I didn't. For all the ups & downs, it's still football & there's no better feeling than when you win. There's always the hope things will turn a corner aswell it didn't happen, but what did happen is that I made some good friends & worked with & helped improve some decent players !

Towards the end I did get frustrated at seeing so many players go off to clubs, while I was left to try & build another side, but that was the only time. I was never at odds with Loose at all, he fully supported me & I wanted to be loyal to him, Sally & Southill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
