Riverside94 962 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thing is someone who normally isn’t in the know may hear a rumour once and never again. Just because they may post something and not normally be ‘ITK’ shouldn’t mean the rumour is dismissed or criticised. After all this is a page for rumours not news? 4 Link to post Share on other sites

People don’t have to post info and other people are entitled to believe / not believe when they do. It’s a message board and this is a transfer rumours thread (the clue is in the word rumours). Personally I think certain people are proved correct way too often for it to be pure guesswork, and I also accept that things don’t come off more often than they do. Link to post Share on other sites

I guess what I really mean is that its fine when it comes to those that are telling the truth, regardless of if a deal comes off, but not for those that tell porkies. Ultimately if you’re ITK then great, appreciate the info and that you can be wrong at times but for those that arent ITK and pretend they know what’s happening for whatever reason they get from it then that’s just sad. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That's who Souttar is up against week in, week out 🤷♂️ I get your point and there's certainly some truth to it. It's quite a different league to be honest, but there's plenty of examples of footballers who couldn't cut it in Scotland who have thrived in England. I do think the championship has more quality overall (and money) but I also think people underrate Scottish football quite a bit. Funnily enough one of my best mates is an Aberdeen fan and he describes Curtis Main as one of the worst footballers he's seen in an Aberdeen shirt. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

A rumours page yes, people share links from all over, that’s great. But that doesn’t mean that those that pretend to be ITK should do so. The ones that are actually ITK that is not an attack on you, it’s a dig at anyone that pretends to be Link to post Share on other sites

It's really not winning any arguments. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

How does the person know if it’s a porkie If they have heard something though is what I’m getting at. It doesn’t mean they purposely come in here and lie (though I know some people will) Link to post Share on other sites

It’s those that make things up to put in here are the ones that I’m saying are sad. Surely people know if they have heard something as opposed to make it up on the spot 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think you might be overstating it a bit. It’s kind of the way with the social media so take it for what it is and do add a pinch of salt. Even though I get a bit of info here and there I don’t believe anything 100% until the club makes the announcement. I also know that you attract a lot more criticism for getting stuff wrong than you get kudos for nailing something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
boro_fan_in_brum 604 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Wow, must be no transfer news. So many bed wetters on here moaning about much they do or don’t know, who is true or false or some other rubbish. be happy all, Boro are doing good things. Stop all the negative plop 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
