This is the PM I sent off to everyone requesting it before I went off line last night :- "I thought I ought to clarify this matter up . On Friday , Y Goch and I were debating as to whether the list of potential signings in the Chronicle had actually been lifted from this BBS by a lazy journalist . To test it , I've made up the name of a player and stated we're interested in buying him . I also posted a photograph of an obscure Notts County player and Dirk produced some very impressive false statistics . A few years ago, some Liverpool fans did the same thing to a friend of their's who was a scribe for the Mirror . The player they said was due to sign was actually a character out of the Sky One drama Dream Team . A couple of days later , the Mirror ran the story not realising that the player in question played for Harchester United !!!! Kev" One poster objected to the skit , Young Nudger . I apologised to him for any offence caused , as this certainly wasn't my intention . Basically , I wanted to see if I could entice the Chronicle to run a story on a player that didn't exist . Obviously, this will now not happen and I have failed on that score . Hopefully , this will now put this matter to rest . Kev
Don't apologise... It was a sense of humour thing. I thought it was a good way of seeing if the "crap" would be reported. After all, their are some real /poo flying about everywhere. (Y)
You did nothing wrong! Some people are so far up their own arses its unbelievable. It was a good theory that you tried to put into practice, an experiment lets say.</p> Scooby Doo head on now: Everything was going to plan until you pesky kids (ie Young Nudger) came along and ruined the plan! Drat!</p> Nudger is a complete fart. Ive always tried to give some of his posts the benefit of the doubt, but after this event, not any more. Sort of like a teachers pet grassing on another kid.</p>
Great idea, but..... ....I don't think it would have made it as far as back page of the 'Chron, as I know for a fact that a couple of regular posters are employees of said newspaper.
RE: You did nothing wrong! Cain D Why not have a drink with Nudger in the Gatehouse pre-match?. He is a master at winding folk up on here and they always bite. He's a massive BFC fan and you may just change your opinion. Lets face it, most of the posts on here are intended to wind someone , whoever up!
