Former Billericay owner Glenn Tamplin takes over Romford FC

Surely it's better to stay silent than to offer insincere congratulations for winning a league that they didn't deserve to win? To congratulate them would be to overlook all of their sickening antics en route to the championship.
It would be like congratulating your boxing opponent who beat you because he was allowed to box with a horseshoe in his glove.
 
Other teams that didn't congratulate BTFC:

Folkestone
Wingate and Finchley
Tooting and Mitcham
Leatherhead
Needham Market
Dorking Wanderers
Burgess Hill Town
Merstham
Lowestoft Town
Hendon
Met Police
Enfield Town
Harrow Borough
Tonbridge
Brightlingsea Regent
Harlow Town (who they won the title against)

So two thirds of the league. Glad to see we're not alone, then.

I run the @HendonFC Twitter feed - usually I'm humble enough to congratulate sides that win the title or play-offs. However, I'm not doing that for the benefit of a man who has made this season all about himself (not Billericay Town but Glenn Tamplin) and couldn't have shown less humility if he'd actively tried.

Had it not been for the behaviour of that odious individual and an increasing number of fans that belong in the professional leagues from whence they came, what 'ricay have achieved (wage-bill or not) has been darned impressive. The fact that they've chosen to actively get in people's faces, flaunt their wealth in the most grotesque manner imaginable has tarnished that achievement in my eyes.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if we are unsuccessful in the play-offs then whoever triumphs will get a good old congratulations message because yourselves, Folkestone and Leiston all conduct themselves in a dignified, respectful and professional manner.

Whatever this season holds for the Greens from here-on-in, I will forever treasure the memory of watching that 9 minute spell a month ago in which we tore them apart, had them finger pointing and arguing with eachother and having absolutely no answer (aside from HRH Tamplin having enough and sodding off 20 minutes early) to the pace, skill and impudence of a side put together for a weekly wage that was approx. 24 times less than HRH Tamplin paid in transfer fees alone for Jake Robinson and Dean Inman. A nine minute spell that proved to me why Non-League Football is, and always will be, the pinnacle of the national game.

Good luck to Hamlet in the Play-Offs, would love to be visiting on BH Monday.
 
Don’t see homophobic abuse being leveled at any of those...
True but it's not coming from the official account, unless I've missed that.

I'm just looking at this from both sides and completely understand why there hasn't been a message and I couldn't care either way, but if the club wants to be seen as above all this then maybe it needs to be magnanimous in congratulating the club.

I can try imagine it’s been ruled out, just when the time is right!
 
In previous years has the club congratulated the champions on Twitter?

Personally I don't have any huge desire to see this done with Billericay. What they're doing is massively negative in my eyes and when you look at the money they've spent they've actually struggled a bit, if anything. I watched a very similar thing happen in Scotland with Gretna, and Scottish clubs weren't falling over themselves to congratulate that lot either. I look upon it as borderline cheating - it ruins the league for everyone else, and we're all expected to be sympathetic when the inevitable happens and the money runs out.
 
I don't think they should be congratulated and I think it's daft that it's become an issue. There should be no compulsion to congratulate people you don't like and the way they've conducted themselves has been a disgrace to non-league football.

A big mouth egotistical millionaire crashed into Billericay (his third choice purchase) and bought the league with his money, while being brash and ungracious about all the other clubs. Fuck him.
 
Ahh... so it's your fault that Glenn left when he did. Thus leaving a more talented person in charge who managed to get some results from a vastly experienced group of well paid players.

All that for 9 minutes of fun!

Well, if I was a narcissist, then yes - I take full credit for that and I say 'fuck the muggy haterzz!'

Alas, I'm rather more humble than some (GT) so I'll leave it to our gaffer to pick up that particular millstone.
 
listened to the game live on radio online last night(well done again to them chaps entertaining and a good service)
Anyway right at the end the young chap who was doing the Commentary read out a E mail/Twitter ?comment from a Billericay fan/official ? tbh not quite sure, i went to make a cup of tea so i way away from the computer, it said "it was ungracious of the club not to congratulate the club of its success, a poor show"
Went on to say "why not get in touch with him" to explain, commentator did add he thought it was unfair criticism.
As i say he did read out the name etc and details but never got to jot them down.
Just wondering if anyone else caught it.

Thanks for that
was just intrigued, tbh i have not seen any real nasty comments directed that way from Dulwich fans
I think deep down a few of them know they have been a little classless and this is not sustainable
It is strange and it will be interesting to see how it pans out watching this cub and ol Glenn ha !
 
Discipline & Misconduct - Twelve Tasty Morsels

Some food for thought as the Subjects of the Thread are "crowned" [to use their own words].
I have a long-held belief, certain matters having been raised with the League in March, that the foregoing is a premature ejaculation, in rem 'coronam', on the part of BTFC.

It's never been wise to celebrate Championships in advance of confirmation, especially using the trophies involved, as I intimated a few days ago.
The Season ends in June.
I'm astounded that the particular league in which this has been allowed to occur is that which underwent the Enfield Saga.
It's not as if that tale was beyond 'Living Memory'.

Here are twelve little morsels for JackPittBrooke and his co-Legates in the Chapelry to consider when writing of the 'coronation' - hopefully JPB wouldn't write of it in glowing terms, in any case.
The first two are somewhat tastier than the others, with the last two rather unsatisfying.

1. Matt Paine, simple Rule 6 Allegation of Ineligibility with Duration dependent upon Reason for Dismissal.
2. Callum Butcher, 3 separate potential Breaches, with the question of Rule 6 Eligibility itself being bifold.

9-10, Appetisers at the end

9. Billericay Town FC, Rule 6 Sanctions & Misconduct Charges.

The foregoing evidence gives rise to further Misconduct Charges and Sanctions which flow from the alleged Breaches, contra BTFC, pursuant to the foregoing Allegations [if proven] being E1, E3 & E10 as the case may be.

NB that it appears Billericay Town FC's 1st XI
have accrued 81 Cautions, 2 Double-Caution Dismissals & 7 straight-Red Dismissals in addition to 4 proven Charges of Misconduct during the 2017/18 Season.



10. Robert Evans, Dismissal of 'wrongful dismissal' Claim, brought without Merit. Not really relevant here, beyond the context of FA Disciplinary & Regulatory Commissions, just some bonus material in the form of a PDF attachment showing inadequate Secretarial skills and poorly-advised Defence Counsel.

11. Glenn Tamplin,

The two separate Charges, relating to two separate and unrelated incidents were allowed to be Consolidated. Consequently, they were both treated as being Mr Tamplin's first offence [singular] and subsequently with an admission of guilt, the Fineage reduced.

The key parts, unsure if they're mentioned on here to date :

Those are my twelve tasty morsels for the day.
If numbers 1 & 2 catch your eye, why not tell a friend?

The reason for me taking a personal interest is quite simple in that it disgusts me to see a Distortion of Competition, it disgusts me still further to see flagrant Breaches of Rules to which well-run Clubs adhere out of diligent habit rather than through effort.

I have no dog in the fight, to use a phrase rather distasteful to the modern ear.

Any DHFC fans, why not raise the matter with your Club's Secretary?
Any Supporters / Officials of other Isthmian League Clubs, itinerants in this Parish, ditto.

Why not take the time to email disciplinary@thefa.com with your thoughts on BTFC's compliance with their obligations under Part 4 of On-field Disciplinary Procedures at pp.396ff of the FA Handbook Jan. 2017/18, or why not tell the Isthmian League's Secretary & Chairman given their own duties in respect of Attending to the Business of the Competition.
Doubtlessly, the email addresses can be found easily enough...

It's numbers 1 & 2, outlined in the first of the posts above, that are most of note.



In respect of other matters that I've been previously requested to look into or otherwise analyse, there will be forthcoming updates.

As to looking into The Veiny One's businesses - the research on that was done a long time ago.

Surely y'all don't want to see twenty pages of that?

I don't mind - I'd like to expose the goings on.
The business looked at in Post #1701 and following really does exemplify all of those many other failed business, though.

It takes longer to type out in a readable manner than it did to analyse the businesses.
Do people really want to know the precise figures which are owed to Creditors by the Veiny One? I know a couple of newspapers do, but they're not paying me by the word...
