FORTUNETELLER
News, views and everything TFFC by Nigel Kyte Welcome to issue 31 of the newsletter Well, I suppose that we have been fairly lucky this season prior to this weekend. Just after the MSFL decided to stage their additional Barry Goldstein Trophy competition because the fixtures have generally run smoothly, the heavens open and down comes four to five inches of snow! Which means that playwise there is nothing to report for Sudnay 5th February! However, there are a few topics of interest to at least make this issue of The Fortune News worthwhile producing. MONTANA BOCA UNITED FOLD After 16 years in the league, Montana Boca United have withdrawn from the MSFL First Division. Originally called Montana Rangers in their red and black quartered shirts, they were run by Raymond Harrod and had Bobby Major as their manager for a few years. Lee Fegan, amongst a few Temple Fortune players, played for them. Since Montana played 13 games and did not fulfill 75% of their fixtures, their results have been expunged. Anyone with a calculator will work out that 75% of 18 games is 13.5... so you could say they were half a game short of staying in! Montana's results: Brixton (not played); Chigwell L2-5; NWN D2-2, L1-4; Oakwood D2-2; Redbridge L1-5; Southgate W4-2, L2-3; Norstar L0-2, L0-9; T.Fortune L3-5, L2-4; Woodford W4-0, L3-4. The biggest 'losers' are Norstar and Temple Fortune who will both have 6 points deducted. Montana will, in effect, count as one of the relegated teams, with one more team finishing in ninth position to go down. Their departure is bad news for our First Team, who lose 50% of their league wins this season, dropping from a mid-table position of relative safety to a mere 2 points above the bottom team, Southgate Harmen 'B'. SECOND TEAM IN THE BARRY GOLDSTEIN TROPHY Semi-finalists last season (and very unlucky to lose to eventual winners Faithfold 'C'), the Second Team have been drawn into Group C which along with themselves comprises of Faithfold 'B', Catford and Bromley and Jewventus. The Second Team have beaten Jewventus twice this season (4-1 and 3-1) and beat Division 3 team Catford and Bromley in last season's BGT group stages. As for Faithfold, it's a good chance of some kind of belated revenge against the same club! ONE MATCH BAN FOR FIRST TEAM CAPTAIN First Team captain PAUL WALKER will serve a one-match suspension on Sunday 12th February following his sending off against Chigwell. Brixton, who play Temple Fortune in that fixture, will have THREE players suspended for misconduct. G.Fierstone, J.Franklin and E.Weisz all miss the match at The Hive, so (memo to Lee and Jack), make sure their names are not on the Brixton team sheet! INTER-CLUB QUIZ SEMI-FINAL LINE-UP Round Four of this season's inter-Club football quiz was completed last week. The semi-final pairings are as follows: ALAN HAROUNOFF versus TONY HIRSCHSTEIN JACK MORRIS versus DEAN INGRAM KEEP IT ZIPPED! A timely reminder to those who think yapping at the referee gets you somewhere – a caution for DISSENT will cost you £16. The First Team have had four yellow cards for this offence in the past two matches, which is far too many. This message goes to ALL players representing Temple Fortune: KEEP IT ZIPPED! PUNCTUALITY ESSENTIAL Another reminder that you are requested to be at the venue NO LATER than 30 minutes before the kick-off. Anything after that is LATE. This applies to all three of our teams and fines will be imposed on repeated late-comers. Please take the time to click here and read the information carefully. LATE PLAYERS will continue to be named and shamed on this page in future and fines/suspensions will be imposed as necessary. ABUSE THE REF MEANS A FOUR MATCH BAN The Club has been making a point of drumming into all our players that abusing a match official will NOT be tolerated and will earn any offender a ban of FOUR MATCHES. A reminder will be emailed from time to time to everyone in the shape of examples of things you could say to a referee and be sent off. Some of the jpegs you will find amusing but the serious message is always the same – ABUSE THE REF = FOUR MATCH BAN. TWITTER AWAY WITH TFFC!

<<< Continued REPLACEMENT PLAYING KIT ARRIVES The First Team's replacement kit has arrived! It really looks good except the Daniel Stewart & Co logo has been printed in navy instead of the company blue! Ugh! And they haven't sent the kit bag yet but I hope it will be delivered this coming week. The shirts are identical in design to those stolen from Matt Gilbery's car last December (as you can see below), except for the new 'gold stars' Club badge and the colour of the company logo. And on the reverse, the TFFC lettering above the red numbers are now red instead of navy. But those players who purchased their own shirts can still wear them. The red shorts with the yellow curving band are the same whilst a new set of all-yellow socks have been supplied. Altogether it's a replacement lovely kit and I'm sure the players will enjoy wearing it. Below: The old with the new! The Division Two championship-winning shirt is pictured on the right, with the brand new replacement shirt on the left.
