I'm sure they'll have thought of some by 5 pm tomorrow. Brimscombe and Thrupp do sound like worthy opposition, teams like Alty should be wary!!

Brimscombe and Thrupp sounds like a 1950s school outfitters.

Taylor and cross ?

[tigerroar]

Simple, Brimscombe and Thrupp are two teams. 22 v's 11. And the referee was dodgy!

Oh yes, that wretch.

Has an incredible record of his team winning at Moss Lane.  Typically.....

I should know better than to read that again. It makes my blood boil every time I do. Horrible, horrible man.

In case some of the younger fans don't know what this man did, here is a brief summary.

We signed a striker called James Robinson from Accrington Stanley.   He had played in Iceland before playing for them.  We later found out that they never got international clearance for him (as all clubs do).  We never checked or it was never mentioned by James as last time we looked Accrington was well within England, albeit in the 1960's.

We were looking at losing 18 points which at the time was a record points deduction for all the points we got whilst he played.

There looked like there was some sympathy growing for our case and many other clubs agreed that it could have happened to them.  The chairman of another club, Mick Woodward, was so outraged by it he paid for a top London QC to represent us at the hearing at a cost of over £20,000.

At the time, a Forest Green Rovers were looking like going down, before the new money came in and they only sold lentils in the snack bar.

Colin Peake saw this as his chance to save his club, climbed on his moral high horse with his laptop and emailed every other club in the league (see emails in link above) urging them all to write to the FA and league about this.

He also threatened legal action against the conference and the FA and worried them enough to ensure that we had no chance of winning any case.  He insinuated that the case wouldn't be open and transparent.

There hadn't been a case like it (a transfer between 2 English clubs) and I don't think there has been since.

How amusing it was when Mr Peake was binned after his loyal service by that nutty eco millionaire bloke.

He may have crept round some people at the club but for me his behaviour was sneaky, unnecessary and downright vindictive.

Can't stand the man.

[Jimmy Hill]

He also liked to send me PMs threatening me with legal action. 

[Beez]

A sh*thouse of the highest order

[im not really here]

Indeed, rereading those emails makes me feel sick. I was aboard at the time of the appeal and cried in the hotel lobby at reading that we had lost. It only made it greater when we eventually stayed up and we had the first of 3 AGM bbqs. Also how great was it to hear that the horrid little man had been sacked from FGR - what goes around comes around.

Cheer up Colin P, oh what can it mean, To a cheating bastard, sacked by Forest Green
