Rest assured they were put aside a good time before the present.

I came on this site to reply in person to some pretty destructive posting aimed towards the opposition to the 'plan' of GI and certain emerging characters who have chosen to character assassinate me after a history of silence. Of course they know who they are but don't want to let YOU know who they are.....nobody can ever accuse me of hiding behind a pseudonym. Not my style and costs me loads of aggravation, but that is me ~ not everyone's cup of tea but I don't really want to be for that matter....if you are afraid of upsetting people or making enemies on these issues then forget it!

I will 'stick around though' if that is OK with the proprietor and moderators/management.

Dave Phillips will have now 'exited stage left' and flown to Australia if his plans have gone according to what I was led to believe ~ a modus operandi similar to Bill Phillips and Thea Bristow when the shit hits the fan if I'm not mistaken.

But hey; there are other malevolent and 'interested' parties we need to collectively keep an eye on. Expose for who they really are when they post on forums and their real objectives minutely studied like never before.

Now we have a 'Fishtowngull' admitting on TFF their motives and deception in putting them over on the most docile and ambivalent of the three forums whilst obviously registered with BTPIR or having access to someone else's registered access.....'doing it on someone else's behalf' eh?

I can tell you now that in recent times both Bill Phillips and Rob Stanley have registered on BTPIR; Dave Phillips and his brother-in-law as well as Val Balson have been long time members. We have players and former players on there all using pseudonyms and members of the media both local and national too and no doubt it is no different on here.

Don't be afraid to say what you really think and stand up to bullying, deception and avarice. INSIST that the local media make a fair and proper expose of just what is going on and hound and harry them for as long as it takes because believe me; there are people out there intent on killing this football club for their own greedy ends!

I think Merse got his idea about Bill Phillips from a conversation we had this morning where I outlined my fears that people were assuming it would be Alex Rowe when IMHO he'd be very unlikely to want to be their trophy chairman. The logical choice from amongst the previous board would be the ever ambitious and totally incompetent Bill Phillips. Make of that what you will.

Indeed it is a concerted orchestration to cause division and defect attention away from their agenda because they know they have been rumbled but that the silent majority of the support are still blissfully unaware of what they are up to.

My enquiries today lead me to believe that Alex Rowe has NOT (yet) been approached by GI, but the sudden appearance of Barbados Bill at the Braintree and FGR (where I stood within unnoticed shoulder rubbing proximity to him in the Green Man) away matches has got to lead to very serious suspicion. That might be a mistaken suspicion but a suspicion nevertheless. It was Bill Phillips remember, who introduced Peter Masters to Plainmoor too leaving the last board with a tenancy agreement with the Truro chairman that he subsequently withdrew from leaving them with a very serious hole in their finance projections.

Don't forget either that Gaming International were briefly involved with the sordid chain of events that lead to the demise of Hereford United before withdrawing almost as quickly as they appeared to join forces with that nasty bunch of bastards led by Tommy Agombar who has left fingerprints on quite a few abortive and successful attempts to relieve football clubs of their grounds.

You posted your own racist innuendo matey........all right 'Garden Gnome' then .

Just one other thing.......the lies being peddled on here by ferarrigull are just that ~ lies.

I neither heard , discussed or said anything about Brendan Moore yesterday.

Parkhouse: you were banned from BTPIR for racist innuendo that compromised the legality of that site and won't be coming back. You've got to go some to get banned from there but you did it so stop creeping around like some latter day Osama Bin Laden, ear wigging and then misconstruing what you think you hear.

Andrew (Glostergull); I'm sorry that some delusionist chooses to sully your character on here when there is clearly no ground for doing so. It was nice to have a short conversation with you yesterday, we should have had the room security screened for lunatics. Neither do I recall either you or I bringing up the subject of Ben Gerring's New Year's Eve. Someone (I recall not who) did mention it in our company, but to be honest I paid as little attention to it as I do every New Year's Day when these sort of stories fly around.

Gerring played in his normal limited but enthusiastic and hundred per cent manner yesterday so however he spent the night before had little or no effect on his performance. Maybe we should castigate the manager for being up half the night with his new born baby. Shit happens in life ~ particularly married/family life ~ and we don't all get the perfect night's sleep.

I don't intend to hang around on here and argue the toss with various libel merchants; but there is a limit to which I am prepared to be mis-represented without the right of reply.

Although you have every opportunity to post on BTPIR but decline may I reply to your post about me on here?

It is clearly stated Tully would come in as manager under Peter Masters; Masters' intended control of the shareholding didn't materialise as he intended it to at that time....watch that space if it does in the near future.

NOT Mansell to return. The manager making an effort to secure him from Bristol Rovers was the message.........this he failed to achieve ~ for now.

Mel Hayman HAS returned! Because YOU haven't been informed of that through the OS or the Herald Excuse doesn't mean it has happened any less than when BTPIR told of Nathan Blissett being sold to a League 2 club (by Dave Phillips) and forecasting that Boxing Day would be his last appearance for the Gulls.

May I thank Louis and Dave for the opportunity to put the record straight on this forum.
