WE LOVE YOU FALMOUTH WE DO

[Jeff Chambers]

Really looking forward to Saturdays FA vase game against Helston.  Not because it's Helston. .Sorry Helston you have no glamour and are small ! !But because it's Falmouth Town FC and that means the mighty F-TROOP are back on the march in massive numbers.  EVERYWHERE WE GO! !!!

[Martin Eddy]

First rule of competition, never give the opposition ammunition before the game. No better incentive.

[Jeff Chambers]

Helston are favourites. We know that. They will be confident.  Massey has bought a great bunch of players.  We're just gonna enjoy the day win or lose.

He Brought another lad down from Taunton I think it was tonight son of the lad mcgrath who played for man United. Shows if Bidston need players, massey must have plenty of contacts AND plenty of cash to go with it. Enjoy the day Jeff and the F troop 

[skinner]

Paul Mcgrath was a big favourite  With Man UNT HIS SON WOULD NOT LACE HIS BOOTS

[Jeff Chambers]

Well as a United fan and ex Season ticket holder for 15 years on the Stretford end I will watch Paul McGraphs son with interest.  Paul McGraph was pure class.  Back to the game. .. it will be another great day for the return of F-Troop.  We know the score with Helston,  but Falmouth Town will go there and give 100 %and lets just see where it takes us.  EVERYWHERE WE GO! !!!

Chris McGrath last played for Buckland in the Toolstation League, has played for Taunton previously. No idea if he is a permanent or dual signing, but Helston are certainly putting a lot behind the 20/20 vision.

[Roche Raider]

Both teams to have a player sent off? Gotta be short odds on that!

[beacon]

Simple 4-1 Helston.

[Mark Jones]

Chris McGrath played for Bridport against Falmouth last season in the Fa Vase.  Falmouth won this game 6.1 I think ? Think he went off injured.

Looking forward to saturday. Let's hope it's a great, competitive match, and of course, Falmouth Town to win. Everywhere we go.👍😎👍   💛🖤💛🖤

McGrath played for Buckland today v Camelford - nothing special on the day.

One of the Buckland committee told me Helston offered Mcgrath a lot of money to play in midweek, when he turned it down he was offered another £100  on top of the first offer. I don't know if  it's true but that's what he said. He looks like his dad but that's where the similarity ends, much better centre backs playing in this league. I think he is living off his dad's name as far as football goes.

This didn’t age well 😄.

Hope the rumour mongers realise that HMRC monitor these forums. Maybe  one or two players may get a surprise.

Clubs responsibility to deduct taxes.

Bonafide expenses non taxable.

HMRC make the decision on that one...lol

They did have a bit of a purge on this a few years ago.

Copped a few with a bit of a large bill.

Wow, all expenses spared for the 20/20 vision

Just caught up with the highlights from Helstons cameraman. McGrath wasn't looking like he was worth £20 a game. Didn't look sharp at all. Seen better defenders in the Trelawney league.

Plus if the money is going from an individual to another individual and not through the clubs accounts, what can the HMRC do? Nothing!

On the contrary, all monies paid to players is assumed, by HMRC to have been paid via the club. For example if Mr. Rich pays player X £100, the Revenue will consider that this is a donation to the Club, goes through the books and is then passed to the player. It matters not if the Treasurer/Committee knows nothing about it, the assumption will still be there for HMRC, that the club has been involved and will check whether tax and insurance has been paid. If not..............large fines all round!

It has already happened in Cornwall more than once and undoubtedly will again.

[Hetty]

Lets just say 

 

The official budget for the team is 500 per game. Thats what will be declared on the clubs account. 

 

If Steve Massey is unofficially subsidising that how is anyone ever going to know if its an arrangement between the player and the manager?

So long as they’re happy to commit a criminal offence with all the risks that involves, they can I guess. However they should be aware that the revenue have a multitude of ways and means. The rack, the iron maiden, thumb screws. And that’s just for starters!

[Goldeneye]

Less likely that the Inland Revenue will look at it nowadays. They've had huge staff cuts and just haven't got the manpower to do it. Also, due to the increased use of the internet a lot of local tax offices have closed.
