Thanks for the love!

I’m so glad that I have been able to keep you in a state of apoplexy for a while. I admit that some weeks I use the old William Burroughs/David Bowie cut-up technique instead of purposely trying to annoy you.

I was hopeful that by now you would realise that I don’t write for you. Obviously Ian runs this site and so he speaks for you. Delap writes for his demographic. I write for me. My opinion is not supposed to lay easy with you. I am not spoon feeding you what you want to read. No point. You know what YOU think. You then float it on here. 
 

i did not win a competition to write a column. I have done this for 20 years. I don’t share my column on Twitter or in the Rovers groups because I am not in this for likes and love. I change my mind just like everyone does and that is an asset I find. 
 

Please carry on the hate. It clearly makes you feel better and, since I have only just been nudged to this forum, it has had no impact on my world.

As of yet we don't have any proof that this is actually Simon posting. There are many people with a grudge against this site and many of the views on here, and it's possible this thread was started as a way to goad people into attacking Simon and making us look bad as a result. Therefore for the time being I'm going to lock this thread and hide the replies. I'll discuss with the mods if it should be re-opened.
