Daniel Smith 5,659 Posted December 13, 2016 Sounds like a generated story to add a bit of 'mystery' to the inevitable signing of Kurtz. Or the Pirates fear the potential Stars line-up and are trying to turn Batch's head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrMungo 708 Posted December 13, 2016 Sounds like a generated story to add a bit of 'mystery' to the inevitable signing of Kurtz. Sounds like a slow day in Dorset to me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted December 13, 2016 Be like most EL meetings of the past few years then!!😁Exaggeration m8! I've seen many, many determined and spirited performances 😊Sounds like a slow day in Dorset to me.That's the plan, they only put out PR when there's no Bournemouth FC news, it's their secret, ace promoting etc .... Owwwwwww sounds mean and nasty, at this time of the year too .. Good will to all women and men, even Poole fans and management 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
