It’s been said on here by some good people too, though
We know there are one or two established ITK’s on BM, whose info is invariably sound and clearly born of having contacts at the club, but for every one of them there’s a hundred on Twitter who know feck all. They usually red flag themselves by beginning “I’m hearing that…..” or ”my sources tell me….”, follow it with a guess as to which way a particular 50:50 shout will fall, and then, if they turn out to be right, later use it to self-aggrandise their own ITK status.
That cnut Kaveh does it all the time and, in a different field, so does that Forest supporting plant pot, Goldbridge. He prefaces every game with some trite truism about how United need to “pick up the runners” or “mark tightly” today, so that when the opposition score and the nearest rag defender is more than 3 inches away from the scorer, he can have hysterics and scream “I told you, I told you. Mark tightly I said, and what do we do instead?!”.
Why do some visit a transfer forum / thread which is prime for rumours / gossip and then act so offended if someone talks transfers.
If someone comes on here if they’re ITK or pretend to be, who really cares, why do some make themselves look idiots by being so serious, and then troll that person.
Chill out, it’s a bloody football transfer. It’s really simple, if you don’t like it, no one is forcing you to be here. Would be a far better place without all the name calling and trolling.
As above, Tony.
FWIW, I’m not anti-ITK in the slightest, nor am I ’unchilled’. I enjoy coming on here to see what the latest rumours are, but equally I fail to see the problem with bullshitters getting called out and….to coin a phrase…..if you don’t like it, no-one is forcing you to be here. I do agree with you about the name calling and trolling of other posters and will try not to do so, but Kaveh Solkehol, come on though!
I think we know who the genuine ITK’s on here are, and the rest us who know feck all (myself included) are also more than content to engage with anyone prepared to openly acknowledge their own lack of ITK status when passing on something they’ve heard. Hugh the Blue 1894 (I’ve temporarily forgotten his Twitter name) may turn out to have genuine info and my apologies if he does. I suspect though, on a balance of probs basis, that he doesn’t.
