The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I'll defend everyone's right to an opinion to share it and to be heard, but Ron your are at great risk of seriously undermining our hardworking, unpaid, volunteers with day jobs by posting stuff like that.

Give people a break and be a little more understanding please. Do you seriously think anyone at this club is trying to hide anything...seriously....you'd be in a massive minority if you did.

People have day jobs, we like to do things properly with registrations, and the information gets up there when it's accurate and complete. You can never keep up with twitter which is individual opinion, even the player will be saying what's maybe been agreed but not formally actiioned.

It's good to have and express opinions and no-one should ever try and stop that....just give the fantastic people who rund things at our club a bit more credit.

Sorry....just felt i had to say that...I seriously don't want us losing some amazing hardworking people which is a risk...

In the pre-Twitter days of the RDFC website we were able to wait until the next match after a player had departed, and then Pressman would include a question in the post-match interview so we could explain why the player was missing from the squad in the match report / transposed audio.

There was an exception to this, when one of the web team thought it worthy of a story when Chris Hope, Andy Burgess and Marcus Kelly were released at the end of a season without checking with the powers that be - and let's just say his knuckles were rapped....

The current web team may not be the professional team Ron suggests, but I'd like to think we have far more experience of running this sort of website than most, but we do accept we have to be thick skinned enough to take cover from "you don't know what you're doing" barbs sent in our direction from time to time.

A shame he has left, if its true.

I thought he was of adequate quality. When he started with us last season, I thought he was one of our better players, then unfortunately he got that injury that kept him out for a long time.

Never really got a chance once we signed Kingy, best of luck to him wherever he ends up, they will have a decent player on their hands.

Christ i`m glad i`ve been out the office all morning :? I wouldn`t knock the OWS and it`s script writers as like DC said until it`s official and a done deal it ain`t a factual story, and to be fair us lot can produce enough of the fiction without them joining in :lol: Who ever first got wind of it had the option not to post until it was on the OWS as did either the player who mentioned it or Elliot have the option to say don`t broadcast it yet as not official but that didn`t happen. The only way it can be done as some may wish is if the OWS and Club officials get to find out EVERYTHING prior to any of us, and IMO that would be bloody booooorrrrrriiinngg and to be fair very unlikely.
So did any of you lot know, a retired lady at the Club is pregnant, it`s alleged a player ex or present is the father, DUKE Of W can`t cut grass in straight lines, and Pigman has a petrol disc cutter phobia, and all this revealed before the OWS got wind of any of it.
Good luck in the future Elliot for the 2nd time, please post photos of any new developments on the hair front, or at the least send Brownie Junior a picture message so i`m kept up to date.

Agreed with everyone else, I can't any see what Ron's point is here!! :roll:

Anyway I'm going to his Elliot's hair ... Seriously a very solid player and good enough for the UCL prem but maybe not got that bit extra to take us to the next level.

Now that we have had time to do it and received quotes from the correct people here is the story, thanks to Formic.

I'll have you know that my grass cutting skills are fine..................I just can't mark out the pitch straight :lol:

As a board member I had no idea that Elliot was leaving, other than the Tweets. once upon a time, fans only found out info from newspapers, then OW's, now it's Twitter, what next ESP? 8-)

In your defence, Duke you were only following a previous wonky line put down by Mark.

Not sure why you used so many words when 8 would have done, so have edited for you :lol:
Presume after a comment like that it`s a rasping round of
"What do we want, the board out, when do we want it, now" Still at least if everyone`s singing something it`s better than our Highbury/ Emerites impression of Tue night.
