Eastbourne Borough v Dartford - FAT 3QR 15:00 Saturday 24/11

[Trevor B]

Nothing further from the truth Arthur, I along with The 5th The Duke Kebabus and several others who were some of the original posters from almost day one of Gary's first forum respect all of his efforts in maintaining the forum and the right of any posters to put on their comments.
However along with many of the original posters we rarely comment these days but leave it to others and normally just enjoy reading their diverse comments about the team and the game.
The management took time out and commented to one of the supporters with us on reasons for three key players to be missing including Tom, he may even have used the phrase cried off I don't know.
I am more than happy to read your comments or those of others about the game in general.

In reply to the 5th searcher I think it's a bit harsh well very harsh to say Tom cried of at the last minute when in fact he is suffering from shingles

I think you are just misinterpreting what that means Arthur, Tom is as hard as nails and I'm very sure that 5th Searcher had no intention of suggesting otherwise. Saying someone has "cried off" doesn't necessarily mean that their absence isn't fully justified or even that you don't fully understand it. When I read this I never saw it as a slight on Tom Bonner, merely a reflection of the fact that his absence was at short notice … which it was.

This is all a lot of fuss about nothing.

[spike]

I won't comment on the Bonner debate ...

There isn't one.

[Arthur Horsfield]

Spike there is no fuss from me. I've said nothing. Muddy made a similar comment. It's pure rubbish.

There's a sporting version of 'Last of the Summer Wine' going into production early next year apparently, with the main characters being played by The Wealdstone Raider, Peter Foster (Chelmsford City) and Arthur Horsefield.

You are kidding me. I'm off this now mate. I suggest the Next time you go shopping you buy yourself a personality. Nothing to do with anything whatsoever and what are you babbling on about. The term Tom Bonner cried off is a dig at tom Bonner isn't it. This has nothing to do with DFC me or whatever your babbling on about. I simply in my mind believe you are having ago at tom Bonner. Cried off !!!!! He has shingles for God's sake.
As for me believing that I am in the inner sanctum what a load of fanny. Tom's father told me over a pint how is that policing. And what about your comment Jamie Philpot has issues to deal with. Wow !!!!!

How the hell you think my comment about Tom Bonner cried off is “having a go at him” totally baffles me because it couldn’t be further from the truth. Why the hell would I be “having a go” at Tom, get a life man. Cried off is just another way of saying he’s cancelled or he can’t make it or he’s not available. You take your pick at which you prefer. As for Tom having shingles I wasn’t aware of that, I’d just heard that he had a thigh or hamstring strain from last week.

Again my comment regarding Philpot came from exactly the same source as Tom, i don’t know what his issue’s are and tbh I don’t care that’s Jamie’s business but I’d heard that is why he was on the bench.

As for a personality I’ve got one thanks.

[Arthur Horsfield]

Look. This is it. The forum is pure. You said Jamie didn't play because he has issues. What a total total disgusting thing to post. Tell him to his face. I'm out. It's rubbish. I have said nothing wrong. El kebabus simply said don't have a go. I didn't. I said Tom has shingles. But you all carry it on. No problem I have done or said nothing wrong. I will carry on. If you know Jamie has issues ask him. You slag for posting views yet you say this. Your a total disgrace.

[The 5th Searcher]

Exactly what part of it is disgusting Arthur & what do I need to tell Jamie to his face??? It wasn’t just a flippant comment made or anything against Jamie at all. As I have said a few times now and it was also mentioned elsewhere by somebody else that the info was given by somebody in the know. If it was a private & personal matter then there is no way in the world this person would’ve made such a comment. I say once again I have no idea what the issue’s are and I really don’t care, not meant in a harsh way at all but it’s Jamie’s business.
That’s the end of the matter as far as I’m concerned.

Back to the match, this is the sort of game we would have lost a few months ago but we dug in and got a result. I was like everybody else impressed by the kid playing full-back I assume he is from our academy and I hope he is given a run in the team. Its a shame about tomorrows weather forecast we might have got 500+ if the weather would have been half decent.
