Podge

Quoted from mirrorballman

Podge is fairly clear he didn't want that shared. I think you should remove the posts.

I will happily delete if people think I should. As I said, it’s been ages now since it all occurred and so probably doesn’t matter anymore

It’s only the sort of stuff that one of them is likely to put in their book one day so to speak. There’s certainly nothing libellous in any of it. Merely the words of a former player, cut and pasted. Words that he was prepared to put in blAck and white to a supporter.

Bye the way, as can be seen in the very first message, at no time did he ever ask first if I would keep it quiet before then volunteering lots of info. Merely a request not to share it, at the same time as then telling all of that finer detail. He took a chance when deciding to type all of that and share it. As I’ve said, part of me thinks he actually wanted me to spill the content at that time, in a way that got his side of the story out there indirectly. But as it happened I said nothing at all when it was a hot subject, even though I wanted to.

When that first message came through I might easily of replied “hey hold on, you can’t expect me not to say anything having told me all of that Podge. Perhaps you should have checked first”.

He is perhaps very fortunate that I’ve kept council about this for as long as I did. He’s a professional after all and was very naive sebding all of that in his first message to someone he didn’t know. Especially to someone who works in the publishing world.

If I felt that in the advent of time it shouldn’t be shared, then I wouldn’t have done so. They are his words and opinions, not mine.

I’ve deleted the posts now containing the words of Podge. I guess now that only a few on here from late last night to the early hours of this morning, will know the content. They can choose to recall it as accurately as they can if they ever wish to.

Looking back, I think the 14/15 vintage were a better team, but they didn't win anything! (thanks to a ref)

FFS!

I see what you mean about him perhaps sharing it with the intention of being leaked but would he need to do that? He could speak to the press and leak it that way.

Also, in his second message, he thanked you for not sharing the first as it would "open a can of worms" for all parties. I know it was two years ago but he's still playing, Hurst is still managing and maybe his agent still has to deal with GTFC on other players.

I liked him as a player.

Nice to see he said good things about Grimsby.

I missed the post but my thought is Podge thought fenty was tight .. anywhere near ?

No...it was all to do with Wayne Burnett allegedly shagging his wife and Steve Foley was suspected of burgling his house while he was at Peaks Lane doing extra training....pretty sure that was it. .....and with all that going on it was no wonder Dave Beasant could go unnoticed to terrorise the alleyways and women of Cleethorpes in a balaclava

Shouldn't have been put on here in the first place. Several of us know about things that have happened in the past-brown envelopes etc but these shouldn't be broadcast. If a person shares something with you and asks you not to broadcast then his wishes should be honoured.  P.S. "Do you want to know a secret ?"

Wish you'd posted this earlier. A few years ago I was down an alley off Cosgrove Street having a wee and this guy in football boots  goalkeepers jersey and wearing a black balaclava brushed past. I didn't think anything of it at the time but your post has brought things back. Could this have been him- nothing unusual on it's own but he wasn't wearing shorts
