Costello 77 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 4 minutes ago, Tamworthowl said: I heard the caller on P&G on Saturday and although I can't recall the exact words it was clear that he was referring to the printed paper, which I believe is available in the morning. Even if I misunderstood, and the caller meant "on-line", why would the YP wait until Monday evening to put a story their website that they already had on Saturday tea time? You're putting up a good effort, but you're failing to defend the indefensible. PS. If the story has appeared by 23:59 tonight highlight this post and I'll post an apology. "Although I can't recall the exact words"..WTF!? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still to this day people want a little bit of magic attention, a momentary sense of importance based on absolutely nothing. Still, it keeps more owlstalk readers busy. Great, you've just surrendered the identities of the top three sauces of OT rumour, they'll vanish overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I also totally believe that the absolute interest in this even being worthy of discussion is that our fans don't believe really that our players are just out injured and so therefore are looking for an explanation of any kind to explain away why our entire first team squad have been totally missing Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people look very silly this morning. If you've taken abuse, I hope you reported it, we're only discussing the credibility of rumours, which none of us can be sure about one way or the other. I think far too much importance is being given to the YP element. These rumours, true or false, have been around for many weeks and put to the club by local journalists. The proof (if we ever get it fully) will be the re-introduction of the players being talked about and them being here next season. -not whether the YP release an article today.

However I disagree with the throwaway bit.

No he didn't It was clear he just dropped the comment in to try and get some credibility for what he was saying There was no pre-planning whatsoever in my opinion Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgund Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 This is like on Football Manager when you go on a bit of a spending spree and you're offering contracts and they're all going green and two seasons down the line you remember you didn't read all the bonuses clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
