Many fans who heard the above interview on Lincs Sport tonight will like myself feel upset by the comments made by Steve Housham re: Dennis Greene and Boston . Credit to Rob Makepeace he twice offered Housham the chance
to apologise, each time to his shame he refused . Credit again to Rob who offered apologies twice on Houshams behalf . I think those who heard the comments will suggest they were the type of comments not to be made on radio in this day and age .
I have started a thread on GTFC forum for the attention of fans who did not hear the comments .
-
First thing he does in the discussion after Dennis's interview is played, is blame DG! He says Dennis talked about their 'tactics' too much, but all he's done since is done the same... mentioning the long throws.
-
is there a link to it? if not,what did he say?
-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03c7fb0#play
Sports Special starts 2 hours in.. he mentions something about the number of fingers on each hand.
Skip to 2:32:00 - he thinks he can say whatever he likes on the radio!
-
As politely as I can put this what a load of "male bovine manure" was spoken in the above interview, and would refer to the below quote
-
I see they almost conceded a handful at North Ferriby today... coupled with red cards for dangerous tackles by Jarman (!) and Brogan.
Oh dear, at least Housham will be having his favourite chocolate snack tonight...

Hopefully someone from the club will report his comments to the FA??
I have reported it to BBC complaints and urge others to do same.
Housham has goaded our fans for long enough and gets away with it.
Pity that brick didn't hit him..

Thick t@@t probably wouldn't realise until someone else told him it had happened. So pleased the fat g@t got what he deserved today, I.e. f@@@ all. I'd plead with the trinity directors to leave him in post, cos while he is, it'll ensure at least 1 lincolnshire team is still in the north next year, cos he's going nowhere near the play offs with a self congratulating pie eating sh@t talking attitude. I don't often say this, but thanks ferriby!

Did,nt think anyone could bring delight to Boston fans by losing at NFU , but yes WKP great delight by Ferriby,s win today .
On the Gainsborough forum there are 5or 6 fans who like SH fail to see the offensive nature of the interview .
Of these supporters on the thread one is a SIDHOUSHAM and another is a BETTY HALL claiming to be his MUM (yes really), how pathetic is that ,
Any idea why you are a laughing stock on social media Steve ?
Unless I have missed something Dennis Greene to his credit has correctly kept a dignified silence , hope Dennis continues devoting his time to winning matches and leave the business of dealing with matters related to the TINPOT manager to others .
We should follow garry,s advice and submit a complaint to the BBC , this will not reflect badly on Rob Makepeace as cleary Rob did all that he could rectify the situation .
Again as garry suggests Housham should be reported to the FA . I see no reason why members of the public cannot submit complaints.
WSP suggests that Housham is thick , and Housham,s comments bear this out . surely any manager should realise comments such as those he made can provoke trouble on the terraces .
Lets get our complaints submitted to BBC and The FA .
-
That comment by Housam is vile. He hides behind it being a one on one bit of banter between himself and Greene yet in reality it's a cop out. Does Housam not even realize Dennis isn't from round here. ????
-
At least the club have done the right thing by making an official apology on the GTFC website
-
Pleased to see Trinity have apologised. But, I'm afraid, that is not good enough. Gainsborough Trinity did not make the offensive comments, but an employee of their did. That employee should apologise to the people of Boston for that very offensive remark. Why on earth should he not take responsibility for his own remarks.

No credit at all he should have ended it there. Also bbc shite dont seem to care
-
Their chairman, not content with making unsubstantiated claims about "our fans", then publicly states his reluctance to "get involved" in this matter.
Therefore, I feel the resultant apology is little more than a lame attempt to dissuade complaints and is as empty as Houshams head.
Send those complaints in.

A patronising response from GTFC . Offering a begrudging admission on behalf of the culprit who had lots of mouth to get himself and the club in a corner and has not the bottle or integrity to apologise to attempt retrieve the situation . I think that the club should now be held to share the blame Tony .
Correct Boo, thinking bostonians are mugs and hoping to get off light will not wash .
It appears every one except Housham is bright enough to grasp what a disgrace his behaviour was and how many people would feel offended , assuming of cause that BBC Lincs agree with these sentiments .
Understand your point Big M , I have never spoken to or meet Rob Makepeace but I think we should take into account that things are always easy with hindsight . Again it says everything about Housham dropping a pro broadcaster in the sh*te when the said broadcaster was helping to promote GTFC . Sadly Rob was like us, a victim of Housham childish behaviour .
I will be contacting BBC Lincs in the morning to get a take on there stance on the situation .
When we get a response from them the next step to get a real solution is to submit a complaint to The FA .
-
Trinity are attempting to cover themselves from any charges/action from the BBC, as a club. They've not exonerated Housham at all, but them drawing a line under it does not do them any favour as a community (!) club.
-
Most of the reactions on here are probably what Housham is after. Treat him as he deserves by ignoring him. As a Bostonian born and bred, I really can't get upset by, or be bothered to get worked up over, such puerile comments.

Sorry OP but I do not agree , People other than Pilgrim and football fans will find his comments distressful.
VERY BRIEFLY .
Last night I noticed I had overlooked a pm on the trinity forum , this pm was from Steve Housham . It appeared to have been sent round about the same time as the club published a statement .
I responded to Steve by promising to answer email but could not last night due to the after effects of hospital treatment i was too tired .
I will come back later today to reveal details of what Steve had to say and what he failed to say .
-
As stated above I received a PM from Steve Housham sent yesterday at about the same time as the club released a statement distancing itself from Housham .
Said he was so sorry for me and the Boston fans and did not want to upset us .
No mention of an apology to Rob Makepeace of people inflicted with physical impediments.
Steve appears to think he his being bullied by the other boys in the playground ,
its a man,s game Steve , not the game to be in if you cannot stand on your own two feet .
Seems concerned about having an image problem , any one got any slimming tips for him .
Clearly at the time he sent this email they were hoping to get out the mess with the pathetic club statement , still thinking Bostonians are mugs . Showed no sign of genuine remorse for his behaviour and still showing distain
I sent an email this morning to Radio BBC Lincs for an update on where they were at on the matter .
BREAKING NEWS .
Seen on Mark Whiley twitter that Steve has made a full apology today .
Clearly our claims for one is fully vindicated . leaving the question why not before ?
Was it just Steve,s appalling judgement or did he receive bad advice .?
-
Let's not get all emotional and think argh Steve has apologised,
This man has over stepped the line and gone on radio with his comments,
He has continuously goaded us for a few years now and this is a personal statement against ALL BUFC fans.
Don't waste your time complaining to BBC nothing will be done,
Just email the FA and also our own Lincolnshire FA ,
Let's hope someone at the club also complain, although not even a mention on our site yet!!

Not the most definitive of apologies...

It was only a begrudging apology , Housham and his club tried the best to avoid an apology, only when they they saw they were digging themselves into a deeper hole did they concede defeat , completely losing face .
It will be nice to hear what the BBC have to say on the matter , but garry is right they will not have the power to meter out punishment .
Don,t see why the FA cannot accept a complaint of bringing the game into disrepute from a member of public .
Has anyone received a response from the BBC Radio Lincs yet ?

Has anyone received a response from the BBC Radio Lincs yet ?
The BBC respond to complaints within 10 working days.

Thanks P86, Hope they take into account impatience and speed it up , after all Steve Househam sent me one in less than 48hrs of the broadcast and I did,nt even correspond with him.

being Boston born and (in)bred ive found this all quite interesting. Housham was totally out of order in what he said, RM asked him a couple of times to retract his comment but he refused.
Gainsboring's apology was again poorly handled, SH is an employee of theres and a representative of the club and by trying to distance them from his comments was again a poor show.
What i find amusing is that Dennis has totally got under Houshams skin, all Dennis's digs have been football related about 26 fans, defensive play, scared of BUFC's attacking options etc. Housham didnt have a come back on that he tried to make it about Boston as a town and failed, he could have said weve played one another 3 times this year and they have the better results as in 2 wins, fair enough!
time to leave it now, hes not said anything that a lot of us dont hear on a regular basis. The away fans chants have changed from the Boston family chant sang to the Adams family tune (dont really want to put the words in as it really is offensive) to your all Polish etc etc so its old hat.
Hopefully we wont have to play them next year in the league but I suspect we will and that will be fun.
As my mum always said, sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.

Is it just me or does he only appear to have three fingers in the photo?

Housham came across as quite a pathetic individual whilst delivering his apology on the Drivetime show yesterday afternoon. Talk is cheap and other than Radio Lincolnshire I doubt he's fooling anyone but kudos to William Wright for his prompting throughout the show.
The F.A are looking into the matter and feel that rules relating to conduct have been broken.

"so kiss and make up you two"
that is about right to me......
its getting dragged out of all proportion
-

Chants of "En-ger-land" as well. Shows how simple their fans (and club) really are. But if Housham is your leader, good luck to you...
I think Dennis should send Housham a box of Cadbury's fingers, a copy of the current league table and a little note to say "Hope you stay up, as you may then just be the 1 division below us next season" and sign it with a kiss.
-
Was Housham trying to get a Duke Of Edinburgh Award with his comment? ;)
-
Do hope all BUFC fans didn't listen to Friday football this week

Do hope all BUFC fans didn't listen to Friday football this week
Why? What happened?

I'll be switching the radio off when Mr Housham starts his excuses in a few minutes :dan
Nothing new there really :police:
-
Must listen , Lincs will be trying to find out what the GTFC chairman went to the dug-out to say to Housham .
Was it a Alan Sugar comment?
-
"You're hired" lol ;D
Darren Stamp had to stand in as Housham apparently said "...it's nice to hear a different voice from time to time... "
You're not wrong there Stampy, I'd leave the radio on if you were doing the interview every week :police:
-
Has Anyone who made complaints heard anything from BBC or the FA,
I've not got anything back yet, complained to FA and BBC.
-
Good-bye-ee! good-bye-ee!
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee.
Tho' it's hard to part I know,
I'll be tickled to death to go.
Don't cry-ee! don't sigh-ee!
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee.
Bonsoir old thing, cheerio! chin chin!
Nah-poo! Toodle-oo!
Good-bye-ee!
-
To para-phrase the idiot himself.....I've definitely got at least two fingers left....so I have great please in sending them your way as you depart Trinity.....see ya fat boy.
# you're crap and you know you are
-
Surprised tbf, thought he was doing half decadent job
-
Not my most favourite person, but don't like to take pleasure in someone losing their job. Like bostonshire I thought he was doing a decent job for them all be it they have it a bad patch at the moment. I personally think they should have given him till the end of the season to see where they finished.
-
Ialso cannot take pleasure from Housham leaving Trinity. Every manager goes through a bad spell, and he seemed to be doing a decent job for them until very recently. Was neither incompetent like GD, or unpleasant like Sinclair at Hednesford. Wish him well in the future.
-
Yes Steve was naughty in interview on BBC Lincs which outraged some of us at the time .
Water under the bridge now . Same as any other club Blues have fans who think there is a future manager waiting to do a better job , we will see .
A family to support so I hope he soon gets another job .
-
steve as done ok on a very small budget,i have to say well done to him and the best of luck,
-
Well I'm sorry but I take great pleasure in seeing him sacked,
Horrible person goaded us for a few years know and over stepped the mark in that
Radio slot and got away with it, so hopefully will never be returning to York St.

I'm with you Garry, I can't believe what I'm reading from the other recent posters on this thread. There's people on here with very short memories, and opinions clearly change to suit what day it is. I don't really care if people don't agree with my opinion, but at least I stick by what I say. Housham is and always has been a provocative tosser towards our club, and sorry everyone, but I have no sympathy to someone I can't stand.

They had a farewell to the Housh, BBC Radio Lincs love-in at the start of the sports programme today.
I think it was Rob Makepeace that said that he'd visited these pages and found nothing but love for Mr Housham...look again Rob! :dan

Missed the start of the programme so cannot comment . As one who is widely regarded as a happy-clapper on here the post match comments raised concerns , do I have to raise my dosage of happy pills to compete ?
Con Nat Prem
League leaders Cheltenham are 27 pts in front of the IMPS
Imps are in 10th place 5 points behind last play-off place and have played 2 games more .
Con North
Boston 16 pts behind leaders
Boston are level on points with last play-off place but have played 1 game more .
Bearing in mind the bullish comments by the commentators / journalists on Imps chances of making play-offs
and less enthusiasm to Boston,s chance,s I reckon they are on a heavier dosage of happy pills than I am . :) :)

Let's not lose sight of "by mutual consent". If I were his family member I'd want to on why he was "mutually" responsible for his departure and therefore "mutually" responsible for his lack of funds to support them in the short term.

Listen to his interview it was not mutual consent, he was sacked. Mutual consent is a term used by the board to keep fans on board that are opposed to the sacking. " I would love to have stayed, I am not a quitter" were a couple of his phrases.

I,m sure he would explain that he had served the club for four and half years which is commendable in modern day football . Name present day managers have who have exceeded that ?

He wasn't full-time.. he's often been mentioned on the Tinpot forum about him and his van, so I'm assuming he's a tradesman of some sort. I doubt he'd be on much at Trinity, not since Swanny left!
