Did you show this much respect for the man when you sent him a white feather while he was having chemo?

Thanks Angry.

I have split this.

Thai's tributes should be separated from exposing Mr Newell's hypocrisy.

Of course he didn't but Phil handled it brilliantly.

Split. Not by me, but about 20 seconds before I got there.

This example of Newell's moral compass shouldn't alter or define the way people remember Thai Green.

EDIT: Cheers knecht

Absoultely, apologies for putting it there but after seeing what ian put it had to be asked.

Agree 100% with the split.

Deserves its own separate thread.

The man is vermin. I hope he can sleep at night knowing he sent this brave man a white feather calling him a coward when he was a braver man than he'll ever be.

I doubt anybody will raise the issue on the farm as it'd only be swept under the carpet in a nano second.

just saw post on the farm.

find it quite disgusting. i was banned for pointing out his white feather antics.

Just wondering like......as I have a white feather ( one owner as new ) , awarded for cowardice in the face of the enemy ( death ) sent by Ian ( IJN ) to me during my chemo to try to prolong my days as an Argyle fan, perhaps I can offer it back to him for auction and hope Nikkkkk wishes to bid hundreds of pounds for this unique item. It's white, fluffy and in excellent condition.

Good man Phil

any chance that anyone can post that on thefarm thread
expect it will be deleted pretty quick though.

Good man Phil

I'll email Newell and ask if he would auction it

I was going to say I can't believe Newells had the cheek to post about Phil on Pasoti, but nothing he does surprises me anymore. When I emailed Newell to complain about him sending the white feather to Phil his response was "The man needed telling"

I don't know if millbridge mike posts on here but I hope he knows that Phil was a regular ATD poster and supporter, as well as on Pasoti, and not to believe Newells poison. He's an absolute cnut of the highest order who sent a white feather to Phil knowing he was battling cancer. It upset Phil a great deal too.

What's the bets Newell comes up with the idea of some kind of commemorative gesture sponsored by Nikkkkkkkk?

I hope he's told to shove it somewhere.

i hope not sponosoring an auction for someone who has recently died after they once upset them greatly would be a new low in my books.

Perhaps we all could donate to a charity of the families choosing instead.

Phil's first ATD post

The surmising and innuendo from those that didn't attend the AGM is way off target - I was there.

The people that attended were core supporters, very vocal and succinct in their questioning.

The Trust is awakening and will be a real influence in the future - in more ways than one.

First post so hello all, I have tried to defend the Trust on Pasoti against the usual suspects and I wanted to join you here to continue to defend the Trust against Leigh Rapson who I 'challenge' ( his word ) often over there. Also I can see good debates on here, very good comments and most seem to be in favour of The Trust as I am.

I highlighted Greenrod's comments above as I was also there at The AGM and I agree with him. This was a very rare trip to an evening meeting for me from darkest North Cornwall, thanks to a carer/ driver. I sat and absorbed the atmosphere in the lounge and can confirm there was some excellent supportive ( on the whole ) questions. It enabled me to put faces to names as I do not know any of the names we see here and on Pasoti. Well done to the Trust for going forward, slowly but surely.

I was impressed by questions from Tim ( The Doctor ) , two men, one maybe called Roger Willis, who sat next to Peggy. ( Well done with your supportive point of view Peggy, it is true what you said re the disruption caused to The Trust by the ' usual suspects ' ! ) I also now know , by face, the Trust Directors, sadly as Peggy said, no Richard Blight , I was looking forward to seeing him! Good points of view put by Graham Clark too.

As has been said before on this thread, The Trust are keeping their discussions with Mr Brent close to their chest for now, understandable, but they will put a consultation paper out to all Trust Members later re' the 20%.

A big disappointment for me was the lack of my sparring partner Leigh, who did I now know have a good reason for not being there. Lee J, also made it clear he would not be there sadly. So I had no chance to ' challenge ' the anti-Trust, a pity ! I thought it was a fair turnout for a Tuesday evening, sadly I cannot make the August 18th meeting unless it is in St Bart's Hospital London, now there is an idea....... Also, fingers crossed I would like to target a return to Thailand, my spiritual home for early November, the time of the next AGM. Now Leigh will attend those knowing I am not there to 'challenge him'

A cnut isn't offensive, it's not even a word ffs!

Hello Jock ( Pete ),

I lived on a small island in Orkney for many years, so Old Norse was all around me then, Cnut was famous as a King, of Denmark, England and Norway, hence the Old Norse connection. He died in 1035, I believe his bones are in Winchester. We ( as a Nation ) knew him as Canute, King Canute. But he was a Cnut in Norway and Denmark.

So when I see Cnut I am reminded of this amazing King, I am happy to use this name,

Thanks to so many, very touched by the comments, nurses soon cottoned onto my pen trick Jock , now back at base, 3 points on Saturday will help.

I am 'at home' on this forum, it's perfect for me, happy, with good friends and is so informative with interesting debate. Very good intelligent posters make it a must for me !!

Good man Phil

To be able to maintain a sense of humour like that in the face of gutter-level cowardice from Newell, just shows the class of the man.

He'll be sadly missed, and I hope Newell can find in within himself to feel a tinge of guilt today.

He certainly was. If I'd known who he was, I'd have said hello and shaken his hand at that Trust AGM. I meant to do so at the November one, but sadly he posted that he was too ill to make it.

Do you know what....that man has done some really shit things to other people, there isn't the slightest chance of him feeling even a hint of remorse, but I am a very strong believer in what goes around comes around, God help him!

I never met him Peggy but shared many a comment with him on pasoti and pm's on ATD and we didn't always agree. What struck me was his willingness to stand up for what is right and what he believed in and he done so right up to the end via ATD. I can only admire and respect someone like that.

Did not know him, but really wish that I had.

Clearly a very special and very brave man, with principles that he stuck to. Good on you Thai Green!

It seems that nobody could 'buy' his support - he told it as it was and as he thought!

Just plain brilliant! Wish that there were more of you individual thinkers around (particularly at Home Park), but sadly not! Many there seem to seek individual prominence and glory and sod the club we love.

RIP

The greatest tribute that can be paid is that posters from across the Argyle spectrum admired and respected Thai Green as shown by the words expressed on both sites. The passing of a true green in these circumstances does put everything in perspective and as a mark of respect to the man a couple of days 'truce' would seem appropriate. After all if there was one man who would really want that it would have been Thai Green.

The hypocritical ways of ian newell never ceases to amaze me. Sending a white feather to a cancer victim calling him a coward one minute then holding a auction for nikkk to win to raise money for him the next.

It's hard to swallow isn't it.
