Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Any win against the lot from down the road is a good one. G are a hard working bunch who do not let the opposition settle on the ball, as Trev et al found out. Boxing Day will be a lively affair, perhaps Mr Martin will transport his players in some old Taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave the rave Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 i would be very suprised to see newquay get anything at penzance judge. And cant see how you can call godolphin a pub side when they just beat previously unbeaten penzance and are above you in the league this morning. what does that say about newquay . credit where credit is due, godolhin may be a small club but they are proving themselves well and could soon be the top team in newquay.

Guest The Judge aka RED OR DEAD Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Don't get me wrong Dave, I, along with 40-50 other Newquay fans saw the G v PZ match and were impressed with the way G battled against a PZ side who were not used to playing on a very poor pitch (I'm sure someone from PZ called it a cabbage patch). PZ were not up for it, thought they could turn up and walk back with 3 points, G did them good and proper. 2 decisions went G's way but PZ should have had enough to win despite this. As for being called a pub team, as every footballing resident of Newquay knows, Godolphin is the name of the pub where the club were founded, they have come up through the leagues and done well for themselves, but once a pub team, always a pub team ! They may well be 2 points ahead of Newquay at the moment but we have a game in hand (Tues 7.30pm Mount Wise v Camelford). Anyway, back to the thread, whats the story with PZ. Everyone knows certain individuals are only there for the money, can we expect a mass exodus, maybe even the manager ? I just hope the loyal PZ fans are not left with a false dawn, they deserve to be in the Prem Div but at what cost ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mead Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 It seems incredulous that people can even think about spreading malicious and unsubstantiated rumours about Clubs and/or individuals on this website without fear of any reprisal - or the courage to reveal their real identity. Particularly in the current ecconomic climate, a suggestion such as Insider's - thought totally untrue - could have a damaging effect upon a club and an even more catastophic effect upon others connected with it. I'm all for people having the right to express their opinions but could we please deal in FACTS and not unsubstantiated rumours.

Guest h8ymo Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not getting dragged into any debate about ill founded gossiping on here and sadly that is the down side of forum's. Just like to say how well Penzance played on Saturday up at Galmpton Gents, the home side are a good side on their day and difficult to beat on their own patch. At 0-2 down at half time it was an uphill task and then Sid Taylor pulled off a great save from Shaun Friend in the opening minutes of the second spell and had that gone in it would have been game over. The Magpies grew in stature from this point and fully deserved to win the game with a good display of attacking football and MOM rightly going to James Miller who was at the heart of virtually every attacking problem that was caused. A good travelling support were rewarded with the away side rightly claiming a Quarter~Final place. Well done to both teams on a great advert for the South West Peninsula League and after being drawn away in every round a home tie for "The Magpies" would give them a huge advantage of reaching the last four. Hopefully all had a safe journey home, even those that sampled the delights of Torquay on a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mead Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Bananaman - refer to the last paragraph of my earlier posting. Cornish Soccer Forum, though an excellent vehicle for the transfer of information & FACTS, is not the platform for clubs to discuss their internal affairs.

isaac rosenberg Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 While having the highest of respect for the processes you describe, John; and appreciating the indelicacy of unsubstantiated rumours, surely Penzance AFC, if said rumours are untrue, would be denying them. Given the economic slump, especially in building and allied trades, I for one would warmly support any club that refused to be held to ransom by mercenaries. Penzance AFC's loyalty to local players in recent times is one of its most endearing characteristics. So you are ceasing to pay players after Xmas ? Good for you...more power to your elbow ! :drink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D K Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 No shame in reducing the budget during the tough climate. In fact as mentioned before; not being held to ransom would be a bold and refreshing move for Cornish Football. (With the exception of 1 or 2 clubs who have made their stance on expenses) As for Trevor, his future will be interesting to watch. The move to Penzance as I understand was for the long term, building up the club from scratch and bringing on some kids etc. Large amounts of money are not required for such a policy, so should we even be speculating about him and his future in light of any trim backs......... ...........Yeah probably! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I always like a quote like this. 'If there ever is any news - good or bad - which Penzance AFC feels it needs to share'. The words 'feels it needs to share' is a terrfic poltiical type response. personally I couldn't give a damn if the money has been pulled its that sentance which always amuses me. Of course they aren't going to tell everyone else what their financial situation is and nor should they. I just thought it was a great quote.

Guest Cornishdave1980 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I agree - straight from the back pocket of Mr Brown. Glad to hear the players are getting paid.....i might actually get a decent xmas present this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Xmas presents and holidays after the season has finished are one thing, but a budget which covers the period December to May is another. It is not a good time for a club to be dependent on the sponsorship of a builder, is it ? I do not know whether "I am the best" is a Penzance committee member: what is heard from them should be as good an authority for the current position as any. In the past and under entirely different management, Penzance has dramatically straited payments in the latter part of the season. The impact of such news is often less severe if it becomes clear only after it is too late for players to beat league signing-on deadlines for alternative clubs. Surely players and supporters should be given a clear and unequivocal reassurance that, if the money is in fact not being reduced, that their contracts or agreements are safe for the season. The best way to end this speculation would be for Penzance to make an open statement of the facts. What have they got to hide ? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ronin Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I would imagine that if, and when, anything needs to be said about Penzance AFC Cornishteddyboy (our most reliable source on everything PZ related) will let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 They're being frighteningly quiet on this: CTB, as always, as sagely diplomatic. There are obviously some "internal matters" being kept quiet here. That's the trouble with too much money in football: their Port and Truro factions apparently hardly speak to each other. It's about pay differentials, apparently. Great shame if a Penwith club gets split down the middle like this by bickering outsiders. I have nothing but sympathy for the powers that be at Penzance : I merely question whether failing to reveal the true facts is the best way to quash speculation. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abbot1 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Come in Peace ! Can't see any one from Penzance confirming one way or the other, we have a similar situation this side of the Bridge, everyone knows about the Newton Abbot situation and Dawlish Town in the Western League have also off loaded all high earners and reduced budget dramatically, last week alone by another four hundred quid, Buckland have just signed one of there best players and rumours are others are about to jump ship, Dawlish players were told constantly the night before they would be paid, then at Taunton services on route told they wouldn't be. Players then leave. I am one who is hoping Penzance can maintain there position because it would be a great day out for us Devonians and even better because of easy train links. Can't wait until Penzance or Newquay join the Prem ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Fair comment; and the identity of the league would be strengthened if there were more clubs within its top division less dependent on Plymouth-based players. Nevertheless, players who expect, rightly or wrongly, to be paid, as in any employment situation, deserve clear infomation about the likely impact of the financial crisis, so they can decide whether to stay or move. In the far west, it is ironic that some of the strongest advocates of secrecy are those who have been most critical of the pay policies of other clubs.

isaac rosenberg Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 You have to feel sorry for a manager, lured all the way down to Penzance from way up the line, having been promised megabucks to support a squad, being told suddenly that he can only take a limited number of subs with him and that those other players must turn out in the Combo League for a side that draws 0-0 with St Agnes and loses heavily at home to St Day and St Just. Now why would you travel all that way to join a rserve team in the Combo League for nothing if there are ten better teams closer to home? And what is the impact on the local boys in that Combo team who are forcibly displaced as a result ? Not really the right way of showing commitment to the area, is it ? OK, there are arguments on both sides. But why aren't they communicating it all in a straightforward way ? Other clubs or individuals may have forked out for one or two rabbits and carthorses in the past, but they always kept their promises to players. Not worth the bother now. Down to fifth with only the Throgmorton Cup to play for (heard of that one down here, ave'ee ? ) Might as well get on and build the houses on the Magpie Club now.

Fiery Jack Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Enough of this. Time to get realistic. OK, as Penzance supporter of well over 35 years I'm kind of used to disappointment: if the money goes and the squad breaks up then ce la vie. However: IF the squad stays together and plays to potential then the scenario is not so grim. We're only two points behind the leaders and due to play them in a couple of weeks time. Before that we have a couple of difficult but winnable games away at Camelford and Callington. the whole picture could be looking better come the New Year. This is a real test of Mr Mewton's mettle as a manager: I wonder how often over the last few decades he has faced a three out of four losing streak ( and that could have been four out of four but for a get out of jail card up at Galmpton). Let's face it, he rarely faced a one game losing streakl whilst at Blazey and Truro. I'd be interested to hear what he and Ray Nicholls have had to say at training to motivate what must be a fairly down group of players.
