ITK time ....with JJETSET We could all meet up on here with a chocolate milk settle down and let the info flow
Apologies A&C. I'm just mildly annoyed at COYS after getting banned yesterday for using the wrong type of font.
I would like to say that Spurs is my club, its your club, We are the club without us Spurs are nothing and the powers that be would do well to keep this in mind.
I agree, however that's not really the issue here. Apart from the fact that our clamour for inside info could potentially damage the club we love by putting transfers at risk, the key thing seems to be Rob and A&C's concern for JJ's job.
I have to admit that it's crossed my mind on several occasions that JJ is making his position increasingly vulnerable with the info he's coming out with, in which case Rob and A&C are right to protect him. I've also thought (though this is far less likely IMO) that he might be giving out 'officially sanctioned' ITK, in which case I could see why Rob and A&C would be uncomfortable with that as well.
Very good post mate. I don't see why being an outlet for "officially sanctioned ITK" would be a bad thing though? Surely that would be an honour (and only a positive) to have the club leaking official information through the site?
I have no issue with 'officially sanctioned' ITK insofar as if it's propaganda then the messenger would be found out eventually. JJ seemed to be well balanced, neither a harryite, a levyite, nor someone with an axe to grind in either camp and I respected that. With some, the ulterior motives become clear quite quickly and with that my interest waned. Spurs have been my club for more years than I care to remember and it was nice for a fleeting moment to have someone "on the inside" giving info to those of us who cared enough to read. Whether covert or planted I care not.
It's an unfortunate situation, but one that I completely understand. I'm pissed off with all the people that would hound JJ with questions as soon as he posted even non-ITK type post. We have been asked by the mods countless times not to ask him questions and yet still they fucking happen. Really fucks me off. So, it's totally deserved.
I'm with a lot on here in that perhaps JJ should just post his info in the RO thread and be done with it. He can post in here if he likes. Anyone who asks him questions gets banned - for a day (first infringement) and then more for subsequent infringements. ITK hounding is akin to ITK bashing.
So, well done everyone - we've lost our best ITK.
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seemed to me that JJ never minded being hounded with the questions. If that is the case and the reason he won't be posting any longer, a simple solution would be to make that a forum rule and ban anybody who broke it.
I don't post often and mostly lurk, but a large reason I even come on SC is for JJ. JMO, but the mods made a huge mistake I believe they will eventually regret in restricting JJ from where he can post. They just lost the biggest asset to this community in terms of transfers and information from the club.
Bring back JJ and let him post when and wherever he wants. In fact, I will donate to the site once these rules are uplifted and he is allowed to return to the ITK forum.
I agree and posted similar above. Perhaps the remainder of my response was a bit emotional.
Re the not minding being hounded - we were asked by the mods when JJ first became uber-ITK a few windows ago not to hound him with questions. I don't know whether he asked the mods to post that or not. Regardless it should be followed.
We're lucky that we're not over on COYS, as we would all have been banned by now...
Before the operation it was "b eryl"Ah so you've been here for longer than it seems? What was your previous name?
Good for you. However my post was in Arabic and related to the ITK posted by david.nicdic said: new ITK for you in the RO...
Mine was the chicken marsala?
