    **** me loko you've got a massive persecution complex. I wasn't asking for a debate, I wasn't suggesting that you were saying he was in the clear. I was posting HIS tweets to make HIM look bad not you. Get over yourself man.

    I think the persecution complex is valid on this one because it's exactly what you did a couple of days ago on the very same subject.

    If you didn't intend it in this one, then I apologise, but at the same time I can only respond based on previous form.

    Or possibly when I posted that tweet the other day it could maybe, just maybe, be because you were defending him based on that tweet so I showed you another for extra context about him. Guess what. That wasn't an attack on you either, it was to show his character.

    The first thing I thought when I saw the deal announced was that we were on dodgy ground. How much do the board know about crypto? And could they really endorse such a company, particularly during a cost of living crisis, which could see desperate people lured in by big promises.

    Is this the one where I asked you to clarify your point? And you then accused me of not caring? I'm with you now.

    Defending him is a bit strong. I was quite rightly pointing out that we need to be careful sharing tweets that say the opposite of what we're claiming (in terms of being homophobic) when dealing with a supposed US millionaire.

    Considering he's mentioned legal action and defamation of character, I'd say my warning was quite wise. I really hope it doesn't get as messy as that for people.

    Just thankful that Barnsley FC have done the right thing.

    Endorsing a scheme to defraud people is not a great look.

    I can't remember too many things in my time as a fan, where everyone has been united in their opinion. this seems to have been one of them.

    Just out of interest Loko, what do you think of the stuff Richard Heart posts on twitter?

    Would you like to condemn it?

    The Trust has behaved impeccably in this whole shambles, but it just interests me where you stand.

    Feel free to tell me to piss off mind, cos it's not really my business like.

    I've condemned it plenty of times mate. Never once defended it. But as it the way with things these days, you can't have a thought or an opinion on something in isolation of everything else.

    Why do you feel the need to ask out of interest? Why ask me outright in public?

    I felt the need to ask you because I thought you'd danced around the subject plenty of times.

    I get that in your position as part of the Trust you can't be as knee jerk as us derelicts are, but i just felt that I'd not read a post on here where you categorically said that the stuff Richard Heart has tweeted was despicable.

    And I'm asking you outright because you bollocked (well not really) me the other day for not directly tagging you in the results of that poll when your phone behaved badly in your pocket.

    There hasn't been that many posts on any of his other tweets. Not ones I've interacted with in detail. The tweets the focus has been on are from Kuqi Couture, and I've described those as disgusting and abhorrent more than a handful of times.

    Unfair to suggest I've skirted around the subject given I don't recall having one conversation specifically on it.

    No problems.

    I'm happy to call Richard Heart a disgusting individual. No matter whether it's one homophobic tweet or one hundred. Based on his twitter feed, he's a horrible person.

    Enjoy your evening.

    I don't see Richard Heart launching any kind of defamation case. What's his claim? The Saudi tweet was taken out of context and wasn't homophobic...... true perhaps. But then there's at least half a doz examples of his true homophobic feelings and use of derogatory terms. I find the whole pedantic defence of that Saudi tweet strange, when it is blindingly obvious what the man is

    It isn't pedantic though. The fact a so called multi-millionaire has even suggested a defamation case should be enough to suggest it was valid to highlight it - especially when it was highlighted out of concern for fellow supporters who weren't aware they were sharing something cropped to remove the actual context.

    But he cannot sue based on one particular text not being homophobic, when there are numerous from him that are homophobic.

    I'm arresting you on suspicion of breaking into and stealing from number 36 Barnsley road last week on Tuesday at 9:30pm.

    What? That's disgusting accusing me of that. I can't have been doing that, I have an alibi.

    Oh? What's your alibi?

    I was burglaring number 21 at the time.

    I don't disagree. At all. But does a normal, standard Barnsley fan want the threat of a multi-millionaire even trying? I know I wouldn't.

    We also know that expensive lawyers can make incredible things happen, and that this crypto community stuff is beyond anything the majority of us have ever experienced.
