Popular Post Steve Earle Posted 5 June 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 5 June 2018 No-one on here knows me from Adam (sorry, no personal reference intended!), nor would give a damn if I left the forum. I have a life, a job etc, and don’t live on the internet. I’ve enjoyed logging on to Foxes Talk over the years, a few times a day, posting the odd thought. I left another forum years ago (they wouldn’t remember me, I don’t remember them) when it got to the stage that every little post of mine brought forth abuse of one kind or another (what do you know?,etc), such that the only sane thing to do was get out. I hope we’re not heading in that direction here, but it does seem to me that every poster who might know anything of interest to most readers is now almost automatically subject to (at least) interrogation or (at worst) abuse or ridicule. I’m sure there are some posters on this forum for egocentric reasons, but surely we’d want this forum to be an environment in which people with some/a little knowledge would be happy to share that, without fear of abuse or recrimination? In short, could we lay off both the ITKs and those that wish they were? It’s only a chat forum, after all. 28 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us hope with Wes no longer being Chairman of the Selectors, Armatey is given a chance for an extended run in the team. What is this obsession some of you have with playing Amartey at CB? At no point in his career had he played there at the sort of level we're trying to reach. He hasn't ever looked top half prem quality in any position. Fair enough he's a useful utility option but a starter? Behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call people out all you want; doesn’t mean they lied or were bullshitters. Things are ever evolving in the transfer world. I don’t know that we have too many con artists lurking here.

Maybe the fault should lie with people that bet on rumours from a internet forum, as opposed to jumping on people that potentially pass info on regardless how creditable it seems. You do seem to have hangups with people passing on info as "ITK" didnt you used to dig Bert out? Edited 5 June 2018 by HankMarvin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are posting information minutes after it appears on twitter I think it's pretty obvious what they are doing. Someone spends a day stressing we won't sign anyone this week.... Evans news appears on twitter.... oh we could be signing Evans this week. I mean come on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's wrong to pass yourself off as something you are not, and if I think they are then I'll continue to call them out. This. I don't mind people passing on things that they hear, it makes things interesting. However the masses of people suddenly betting on Maddison off the back of one post the other day, on the assumption the info was definitely confirmed, really bothered me. I bet pretty heavily on transfers and the odds they were taking were pretty crap in relation to the available information. I don't call out anyone on here as bullshitters because the truth of the matter is that I am not ITK and therefore don't know if their info is any good or not. The Twitter fake agents are another matter... I do, however, keep a rough track record in my head for various FT posters and newspaper journos and sort them into reliability tiers that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing anyone on here could say that would piss me off. Bore me rigid, sure. Exasperate me sure. Make me slightly ashamed to support the same club as some on here - certainly! But I guess you’d rather score childish points than reflect on a vaguely serious post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
