That is also how I understood the terms... if Gordon is at Brimsdown at Xmas then tough titty Rhodesy. Although I will of course get you a pint after our game next week! I think for the vase game we call it the winner gets the drinks in?

Its one thing owing money to individuals but this is a charity and if I recall everyone paid their money to the Kentish Town farm so why doesn't Clip pay his dues?

 

[NeutralFan]

You are correct Tubbsy! It's disgraceful.. far worse than the ball and shirt issue if you ask me!!

If what you say is correct then clearly there is something not quite right going on, my guess, reading between the lines, is that Gordon has realised that he has made the mistake of his life by agreeing to go to Harlow and would give his right arm to put the clock back. He may well be back at Goldsdown Road by 25 December however I still feel that I should be paid out now and if he is reinstated then I will happily refund the tenners.

As I have already said previously, I have heard a "story" as to the reason behind his move to Harlow but whilst it remains an unconfirmed story, I am not prepared to divulge it on here. However, if it's true, then I don't blame him for taking the job and good luck to him.

Bullshit! Especially given your track record for paying out.

[Rhodes]

Why not just divulge it in a 'publish and be damned' fashion, that's surely what a Football Forum is all about at the end of the day where speculation and 'unconfirmed stories' are there to be kicked about until the real truth comes out. From what you suggest there was some sort of disagreement at Brimsdown involving Boateng and in trademark style he threw all his toys out of his cot and packed his bags for Harlow without considering that he might be out of his depth at Barrows Farm.

[Football Man]

Nothing like that at all.

[Rhodes]

You said that you had heard a "story" as to the reason behind his move to Harlow so what else could it be, why else would he leave Goldsdown Road with the Club flourishing and on the point of something big. Their poor results so far this season have been proof that Boateng has been sorely missed.

[Football Man]

Oh, I see. If I hear a "story", then it has to be what you think it is and can't possibly be anything else. I understand now. Thanks for that.

[Rhodes]

Well why don't you just tell us what it is then rather than giving us all this cloak and dagger and smoke and mirrors nonsense.

[Football Man]

Because it is an unconfirmed story.

[Wader]

I might be able to confirm it, but I'm not prepared to.

 

I have a sacrosanct thing that Boardroom talk is not spilled onto public forums. Haha how else can we slag everyone else off and get away with it

[Rhodes]

Like the memorabilia scandal you mean at Haringey Borough

[Wader]

I did eventually agree with you that the question was asked, but as you know I have stoically refused to comment further.

[Wader]

I don't recall. I had my attention firmly fixed on the sumptious buffet that had been set out at the time. I had visions of you popping up with a chefs hat and pinnie on.

[Rhodes]

Yes unfortunately I wasn't there but I would have given my right arm to be a fly on the wall.

is this a case of mixed metaphors....do flies have arms?

[Rhodes]

I also remember Tiger007's post a while back when he pointed out that nobody from the Haringey delegation would look him in the eye let alone come over and offer their hand of friendship in the SSML spirit, what does that tell you.
