Clive report from LFW - regarding transfers

[BennyBoyRs]

Benny

You are mis-reading the situation.

Defending oneself should not be misunderstood for being upset.

I'm not the slightest concerned, these people have been at it for years and in some cases, used to get info in years gone by, due to close association within the club, now feel the need to undermine people who get it now. Its understandable.

Maybe in 4-5 years I will feel the same way.

Sorry pal, but you've mis-read what I wrote. I said this has now turned into 'Pete's all upset' types of posts over on LFW's, due to your reaction.

That's all.

Sounds bitter that people have access to more information then back in the days and that rumours he got first are now put out on the web before he can announce them

Its great to live in an age were we can access this info rather then wait for it to be in the papers

Peter, mate...I'm not sure where he's said you benefit from this site. Just that some posts are designed to attract traffic. I think that's fair comment, and fair play to you as well.

No need to get narky over this though, is there?

And with the whole fantasy/puppet thing, you can't really moan mate. You are friends with GP (Not that I'm condemning you for it...Fair play in fact), so you are bound to get these comments. On the other hand, when you predict the number of signings as you do, with things like 'done deal' etc., then once again, you must expect the digs.

I was told of quite a few this season. Some came off, and some didn't. Like WOB, I am not arsed whether or not people believe me. I pass on info, just as you do. The difference is, you seem to get yourself involved in petty squables over them.

Why let it bother you?

As far as I can see...Clive is having a laugh, and that's no real problem. You like to take the p**s yourself mate, so what's the difference?

No real malice intended in this, IMO.

The thing I really hate about QPR forums/messageboards is that they seem to be more about the owner themselves rather than QPR. Why can't we have a normal fans forum like other teams? (see cpfc.org etc, always busy, not talking about other websites/owners all the time). WATRB is about Pete, QPR Report is about QPR Report, IndyR's is about Paul Finney, qprdot.org is about Drew Garrow, LFW is about Clive apparently.

Why can't you website owners wind your necks in a bit and give the fans somewhere to talk about their team rather than you lot with your egos?

And for the second post in a row...

I agree with all that.

Though it takes a certain ego to run a messageboard, whether we admit it or not.

[Goddard]

At the risk of being shot down here... I don't think Clive is bitter about this site posting rumours first.
It seems he just finds it all a bit pathetic that people go chasing kudos for it.
Let's be honest here, it's partly about attention seeking. Nothing massively wrong with that, but it is.

I like Clive, out of all the web-authors out there...I think he writes the best articles on all things QPR, and hits the nail on the head more than most.

And I rarely go on his site to read, and never post on there.

I like Pete, in a different way.... he's funny. I'm not sure it's intened to be funny some of the time, but there you go!
All these cyber-noses put out of joint, it's all a bit petty really.



Oh and please don't critisize me for this opinion... because I might take it to heart, lash out and cry.

Totally agree Wicksta.

The idea of providing a fans website is to provide a place where fans can come and enjoy other fans company, share news and provide some content like we used to with the old Pete's Latest which was fun, silly.

I mean where in the world would you find someone coming out of a cupboard?

[Dale]

Clive could be accused of the same thing that he goes chasing for kudos

I think most supporters of clubs want to be the first to know there team news and nothing wrong with looking for that info and putting it out there

[qprdad]

Wonder if he would have found it a "boring ******thon" if he hadn't have been beaten to the story?

Speaking as one on here who is actually a trained journalist who has sat through classes on libel law etc etc I have to say that while he speaks a certain amount of sense he also sounds a little bit bitter to me that he hasn't got a story, just a whinge.

Agreed; he's normally a very good read, why does he feel the need to make bitchy comments..... playground mentality clearly!

Maybe stick to what he's good at!

[RussRanger]

Obviously Clive went fishing and Pete has bitten.

Really think Pete's best reaction would be no reaction at all and rise above it. No one wants to see two guys fighting in a playground.

Why am I expecting Pete to say, "Well, he started it"?

I always thought MBs were discussion forums where you go to discuss a common interest.
Any person taking what they read on MBs as serious cutting edge news, really are living in cloud cuckoo land.

I thought the original post on here was very amusing, but nothing that I or many others were not fully aware off.

The fact that some on here & other boards get frustrated at rumours/stories not coming true, really live a shallow existence & need to get out more.

The fact the people like Pete are constantly attacked for their views/posts does concern me slightly.

If rumours/speculations did not appear on these MBs, then the banter would become nothing short of mediocre.

I read up on forums for the humour angle more than the serious angle; occasionally I do allow myself to get carried away by a rumour, but I always know it is just a rumour & nothing else until it is made official.

I like many, don't assume nothing is a done deal until it appears on the offish. Even the reputable tabloids/news papers get it wrong constantly.

OK I'm off to Twitter to see if @MassiThe Man is still interested in The Managers job at QPR

That's really funny even for you.

Just give it a rest now, if other sites had rumors coming in they wouldn't be saying nothing.

anyone know the plural of drivel?
