The outright disdain for any other "ITK" source on this forum is possibly the most annoying thing about it. And insanely hypocritical.

Not sure about that really, people take COYS ITK's fine but it's just the rise of Twitter that's brought this level of disdain.
There are so many chancers and bullshit merchants out there now, it's easy to label them all the same.

At least the ITK's on here have been verified as much as possible and I'd assume COYS is the same.
The suspicion arises because anyone and everyone can just claim to be itk on twitter and it gets lapped up by thousands.

Personally, I'm not convinced that POK gets much proper information and he certainly seems to like the attention on Twitter but seeing as though I don't do twitter, I can only judge by what's posted across to here.

Yes especially as POK definitely has information and more than most!

I think they all talk bollox

I’ve always found his account to be fairly accurate and he isn’t one to go crazy with his claims. I think most ppl don’t like what he has said so therefore ‘obviously’ he is a fraud etc. at least he uses his name unlike many on twitter.

 

[Sierragls]

Don’t know why people slag of POK he is an agent himself albeit at lower level and he info is no less reliable that itks on here, he also won’t just comment on anything for the sake of it only when he has info about it and will clearly state when it’s his on opinion much the the itks on here.

 

[Oscar22]

Honestly, if you take notice of what POK says just do it quietly, I’ve had this conversation before where I’ve said the bloke passes on information and has a track record where some has been true, and some hasn’t happened. Like literally EVERY ‘ITK’ there is.

There’s just a bit of a fetish on here for abusing the guy when like someone above said he’s a fan passing stuff on. I mean he says it openly on a public source, if it’s wrong, then don’t follow him or listen to him. This thing where anyone who likes him on here and he gets personal just because he’s on a WhatsApp group etc honestly, it’s pathetic.

It IS hypocritical this idea that all other ITK is rubbish because it isn’t people on here, the people on here get stuff wrong too, but they say themselves, it’s from a source and things might have changed. You have to take every bit of this info from anyone with a pinch of salt.

This weird pile on with POK every time though is just ridiculous. Don’t like it? Disregard it .

 

[y1dk1d]

Seen as so far it seems to be pretty isolated info, I’m hoping POK has just got it wrong or been misled on this occasion.

I used to doubt him but having followed him for a while now he deffo has a bit of inside knowledge, even if it’s nothing groundbreaking but you’d rather someone passed what they know on in good faith rather than make massive bullshit claims

 

[KILLA_SIN]

I don't know from memory POK seems more accurate about when something wont happen than will

That's probably because the majority of things don't happen.

 

[absolute bobbins]

I'd like to hope that we can work on more than one deal at time!

So would I but evidence seems to suggest otherwise. Levy thinks he can play multiple hands of Blackjack at the same time but he makes mistakes and always hits on 20.

I think people may have a bit of a bee in their bonnet from the times POK, Gards and the guy who runs the Spurs ITK hub have made fun of SC, Trix and Hercules. Those 3 have no problems hating on our lot so maybe some on here are defensive?

Guards is just bitter since he got banned from here.

Is guards on the defensive?

No 1 ITK in my book.

 

[Cochise]

I think its just a case of people slagging off any reporter or ITK that gives out bad news. If they say good things then usually they are praised.

I have no issue with POK or whoever the twatter guy is as I don't do twitter I do find it a bit rich that Gards makes fun of anyone though. He certainly wasn't when he was passing off private conversations we were having behind the scenes to his Journo mates, and then passing their stuff on to us as his own as well.

Gards is just a snake oil salesman and nothing more.

My post wasnt aimed at you btw, I think some of our members are defensive over our ITK's possibly. I have no idea if the twitter lot are reliable or not so I apply way more salt than I do with others - and flat out ignore Gards lol.

I just don’t believe everything he says. It’s amazing that he gets that much info and is seen posting it on Twitter all the time, all the aggregators are now all over it. I don’t pretend to know how it works but if I was getting that info I wouldn’t be sharing it on Twitter with a personal account

it happens both ways to the extent that’s it now feels chicken and egg. I think the problem for most (could be wrong) is the seemingly double standard of say what you want about other itk’s info but not ours.

I’m not for a minute suggesting people pile on Trix and co, what I’m suggesting is maybe we don’t need to pile on ‘ITK’ from elsewhere in much the same way we can’t dispute etc those on this site.

If they slag off on Twitter, ignore it. Don’t give them the airtime. There is no ITK that is 100%, how can there be.

Just for me it’s a bad look when someone who is a spurs fan shares something and then gets tacky abuse from mods etc. Like stoof said, you could be in the pub next to the bloke. Either believe, or disbelieve, but the snipes etc, lacks class.

Anyways…. David Raya…
