It's just a pity @efl_hub just tweet utter nonsense. It's funny how so many fans seem to take those sort of sites seriously. Might have to start up my own and come up with some rumours😂

It's just a pity @efl_hub just tweet utter nonsense. I suspect it is where the EP gets many of its stories from. Sometimes the @efl_hub gets it right but more often than not it is just speculative.

Sometimes they get it right, as they guess. The story in the paper linked him with us and said he was returning to the UK over the weekend to decide his future. So if the story was accurate, they have a chance of getting it right. That's what they do. As he's returning from America, will be not have to go into isolation for 14 days anyway???

I think it's the opposite they must scour the local news sites for rumours then tweet about them, Sam Frost also seems to get his stories from local news sites, they'd both be knackered if Google search ever disappeared!

'Debunk' 'Interest' 'Debunk interest'. Is he new to the English language?

Today's Q&A is one of his worse, you could have a Q&A with one of us and get similar answers, he doesn't even know when the when next shirts are due to be announced. He may as well be put back on Furlough leave and wait until the club actually announce something of interest to report on.

Just a pity @efl_hub seem to get all their rumours from Gaschat along with, I assume, other club's forums.

Might have to start up my own and come up with some rumours😂 See these kinds of accounts all the time on Twitter. They will say anything for retweets. Remember that BRFC_Transfers account that claimed ITK but would just tweet absolute garbage..? occasionally regurgitating a valid rumour from a well publicised news source and then claiming some kind of victory when it came through and using it to validate their other rumours. Mad thing is - people lap this sh** up.. I'll believe the signings when there is a picture of them at the Mem holding up a scarf with an awkward smile on their face

Our record with Scottish players isn't the best! Martin Cameron, Derek Riordan, Garry Kenneth - all came highly regarded and were useless! If we sign Sam Nicholson, let's hope he breaks the mould!

It’s always interesting hearing rumours and the EP seems to get as much stick as Buckle and McGhee did. I find it ironic that players from Scotland seem to get as much stick as they do. Sure, Riordan, Kenneth were poor and Clarkson a bit better but then at that time most of the English players weren’t much better. Perhaps if we’d had a few more more Irish players like Smith and Macca we’d have been ok. When I think of Scottish players I think of Munro, big Jim Eadie, Jocky A and Kenny Ronaldson (?) and they gave fantastic service. Just as I’m sure that the EP have a few “lazy” journalists, to say no more Scottish players please or SPL players are League 2 is pretty lazy. Some will be that’s for sure but some will be very good. In the end any players we sign will, I hope, have been scouted properly by Widdrington and his team. Although if players are coming from America I guess it would have been hard to have much up to date info about them. I take the point about useless rumours and reliable sources but tbh rumours are the lifeblood of forums at this time of year and I’ve no idea about how reliable certain papers, websites etc. are but like most media sources you have to read between the lines and ask the question “why” are they posting, writing or whatever. In today’s age I’m sure they are dependent upon agents and others who have vested interests so overall it must be really hard to get independent information. Good luck to them. And in the end I guess I don’t care where players come from, Scotland, Holland, Germany etc as long as they make us a better team and are affordable.
UTG!

You posted that 1957 at the same time I did. 😉 I guess it depends on what you see as the “mould”, I see the mould as Munro, Ronaldson, Big Jim and Jocky. And I would say those you mentioned did break the mould, pretty useless. Whoever we sign let’s hope they improve us. UTG!

Reilly seems to show the gulf between Scottish football and L1, I sense at best he's L2 standard, although he hard set Cheltenham alight and they clearl though Nichols was a better option! As far as the rumours I don't get why the BP etc are suggesting certain signings are imminent when they are clearly not, even if they do sign fur us eventually.
