I think the consistent level of unrest on this thread is purely due to the unease with which we are currently feeling in reaction to Nicko's news which hasn't been a barrel full of laughs of late. Personally, I am very grateful to Nicko for providing us with some sort of insight into whats going on behind the scenes. I don't understand why people are arguing over the Annan situation, everybody is entitled to an opinion and at the end of the day somebody will be proved right. Can we not just get back to discussing football matters amicably?

just heard from my mate who is a chief scout that andrews is having a medical and blackburn are also trying to sign marcus tudgay as a replacement for tugay

Hmm, not wishing to sound cynical, well okay I am.

At a wild guess, I'm thinking you're under 25. Are we talking football scouts, or did-dib-dab type ones? Maybe your mate is grey ferret, Akela, whatever. Aren't football scouts usually old dodderers that have been in football for yonks? And he's your mate?

I would suggest 'chief' scout is singular. IF your mate was chief scout, should you not say 'the chief scout'?

Funnily enough, for a position that actually has a guy with a name in the public domain, these type of rumours often never quote it, but the position. Do you call him 'scout' rather than his name?

He must be a corking scout if his sole criteria for picking a player to replace another is to find one with a similar name, much less his skill, playing position etc.

If there's one thing worse than rumours and speculation, it's naff ones.

Nobody is arguing. It is called a discussion with different views.

Ince added: “It’s not just that article. People have been making bids for Benni, and we just can’t seem to settle ourselves down because people want to unsettle us. It’s not fair and it’s not right.

Didn't know the man was such a crybaby! Get real ince, this is not the mickey mouse league where you can go on about your business because no-one really cares anyway.

What is it that you are trying to prove? That you lnow more about football than a national sports journo? Thats unlikely. If you dislike the thread why not ###### off and stop wasting everyones time with your boring repetative drivel?

When did I say that? Please don't put words in my mouth. I am saying that some people on here belive that nicko is correct 100% of the time and base their opinions of Ince and co on that, often slating the guy on a piece of information that nicko has leaked which may or may not be true.

Look at the reaction after the Annan "huff and loan" thing, nearly everyone was slating Ince and I think that is unfair. If he'd have said Ince didn't think he was worth the money or that Start wanted a bidding war I think most people would have supported Rovers but as it is we get barrage of abuse thrown at our manager.

Your last paragraph works both ways, why waste time replying if you don't like me?

He's not trying to prove anything, he's just trolling for a reaction (preferably from Nicko, but anyone will do).

Oh look, he caught you (see his next post). If you bother to respond to that then you will find yourself drawn into a semantic argument about who said what and when and the meaning behind it, and you will be repeatedly asked to prove and find examples for every statement you make.

Don't feed trolls, its not worth it.

Well, there have have been childish outbursts especially this morning. I agree that these threads are for discussing issues and inevitably everybody has there own point of view but most of the talk this morning has been 'oneupsmanship' which is unneccesary.
