I once had a beer with a few of the opposition prior to a game, can't remember which team it was now but it was a few years ago.They tried to get information out of me & the lads about Fleetway's tactics.....I replied that we had none....but watched with no interest whatsoever as they slowly fell to the ground ...pissed !!

 

Dunx still didn't get a round in....but we won the ( drinking ) battle...can't remember much about the football match....probably drew 0-0 !! with Big Al playing his famous 7-2-1 formation !!!

 

Cheers,

So what profession is that, Gary? When I read your post with your reference to "heresay", I was confused and wasn't sure if you were perhaps a lawyer (in which case it would be hearsay) or a member of some strict religious order (in which case it would be heresy). As the manager of our esteemed Club would probably class you as something of a heretic, I would guess it must be the latter.

A turgid read, but Provs may have a good case.

Ah yes Hirsty, the old 7-2-1 formation, but only when we got a corner, otherwise it was the 8-1-1!

 

I distinctly remember Dunx buying one round, the Battle of Britain, March 1988. Some sort of celebration of the new extended drinking hours.

 

FPFC got their 1st league win of the season last week!

 

Cheers

It did not go un noticed........beers all round ? or does the younger element not drink ?

I used to work for Fleetway printers, and play for them on saturdays

[Quoman]

The "younger" element certainly do (including pre-match) - a full turnout in the bar after that result!.

 

Final match of the season Saturday 22nd.

The case would be heard under Employment Law, which is totally different to Criminal Law

Don't know if this has been posted previously, but FA have upheld Protheroe's appeal:

But I suspect the same rules on hearsay evidence would still carry saome weight, otherwise everyone at work could be sacked on the strength of "gossip" overhear in the canteen.
It now seems his sacking WAS not in order, I assume we will now have to pay Lee the remainder of his contract.

It seems unclear to me whether Lee's won his appeal full stop (i.e. the FA have ruled that the offence isn't worthy of a dismissal for gross misconduct), or whether he's simply won the right to carry on playing for Margate on loan until the end of the season, with any final appeal decision technically pending until he returns at the end of the loan spell.

 

Of course, these scenarios could also be one and the same thing. Either way, with his contract expiring at the end of the season anyway, I suppose that technically it doesn't make a lot of difference, since the club still have to pay all or part of Lee's wages during the loan spell.

[John FW]

I am not an employment lawyer, but from experience at work, where people have been dismissed for gross misconduct, the dismissed employee sometimes applies for judgement by an industrial tribunal. If this is the path taken. the tribunal will be concerned with not only the rights or wrongs of the situation, but also whether the correct process has been followed by the club under employment law. I think that any ruling by the FA is totally irrelevant as far as employment law is concerned, hence Roly Edwardes's comments. Whatever the outcome, it cannot be the most intelligent thing that Lee has ever done!

[Hempstead Gaz]

Whatever the outcome, Fleet come out of this in a poor light. Clearly Lee wasan't wanted, and Lee naivly provided an excuse to get rid of him.
