Former Billericay owner Glenn Tamplin takes over Romford FC

[Bugpowder Dust]

Archie Tamplin came on again for Billericay tonight v Southend. I'm going to shut up now, he'll probably score a hat trick against us next season

 

[Emmbeee]

Wasn't Archie basically the reason Glenn bought the club.

Truly vomit inducing.

 

[AverageJoe]

That's a lot of pressure for a young kid

 

[Paula_G]

When I first clicked play I thought “Ah that’s sweet!” proud parent & all that then the first shot by the kids is a grass cutter bobbling wide of the far post and the giggles began.

That’s today’s earworm sorted then.

London 2012 & Heather Small’s voice gave me goose bumps. Going to take a while to unsee Tamplin minor so better dig this out PDQ

It's really not normal for a business owner to film themselves in this way.

Makes me think of the Kinks song "I'm an ape man I'm ape ape man. I'm an ape man". Perhaps someone could edit the video and add the music?

It's like David Brent on a weight-training programme.

So BTFC have signed Gavin Gunning (Forest Green), Douglas Loft (Shrewsbury) and Craig Robson (Barnet). Glenn reckons they are going to piss the league and he'll be dancing on the pitch when they get promoted.
I'd like to recite two quotes. One is from the film True Grit, the other was by Kevin Keegan......guess?

You make me a stranger
That's what time can do
Baby you mean ev'rything to me
Darling there's no danger
For all that we've been through
That anyone could love you more than me

I have a copy of this track, might play in the club bar Saturday .... it's a huge hit in parts of Hamburg

 

[all to nah]

Indeed, it is!

Are we trying to drive people away from that bar? First the price rises and now this.

 

[Cyclodunc]

Please don’t play that song

Please don’t play that song

Or put a quid on the price of the cheap lager.

True Grit?

 

[Son of Roy]

No not that one. From the original film True Grit (with John Wayne) the quote was 'I call that bold talk for a one eyed fat man' and Kevin Kevin Keegan said 'I'd looove it if we beat em' referring to Newcastle's premiership battle with Man Utd.

 

[EDC]

Pathetic.

 

[Lazy Llama]

Looks like they’ve signed Wes Thomas, who was released by Grimsby after a bust-up with the manager. He was Town’s top scorer last season, not that that accolade was particularly difficult.

What a pair of morons! They'd be dangerous if they had a second brain cell between them

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Annoyingly they've signed Matt Rhead from Lincoln. Not sure he has anything like 90 minutes in him these days but he'll be very hard to handle for defenders at this level.

Pink Steel has quite a ring to it.

Seen suggestions on Twitter that they’re signing Wes Thomas from Grimsby as well.

Undoubtedly good signings at this level, and likely to be more effective than the likes of Pennant and Konchesky, but they’ll still be on decent wages to be tempted to drop down from the League - I therefore fear for Glenn’s desire for financial sustainability, and the Billericay branch of Rymans ability to keep up with the demand for brown envelopes.

Yeah, this was the Tweet about Wes, first letter of each line...

They've paid a transfer fee for a 35 year old and he only signed a new contract for Lincoln in April, and apparently he lives at Stoke-on-Trent. How much must they be paying him to induce him to drop three levels? I thought the National League was supposed to have criteria governing the financial structure and spending of clubs? Did our officials get anywhere at the League AGM with raising the matter of other clubs evading taxes on players' wages, as was suggested at the open supporters' meeting? I really hope HMRC catches up with this shyster and it all goes spectacularly pear-shaped.

Why Matt Rhead is using Teddy Sheringham as inspiration
