The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 12th June 2017

[Spurrific]

And there was me thinking I was a moderately successful class joker. Like a poor man's @Nine while nine. Or a rich man's @Spurrific.

If I were allowed to post pictures, you would be on the receiving end of a screenshot of my winning "SC's Funniest Member 2014".

You are, at most, a slightly wittier @millsey

Clique driven.

So very not last year.

Regarding ITK, you have to consider the Chinese whispers/potential for bias interpretation which must occur when gossip is passed down the line.

Unless the ITK is upper management then the gossip is already one step removed. We know, for example, that JJ works for the club and us fairly close to the centre. This makes him accurate, but circumspect. As far as I know none of SC's other ITK work for the club or claim to work for the club. This introduces the room for bias. For example, if he were a paid up member of the BSODL, then his gossip will be coloured by that. In this version of the Goat it's very possibly vice versa.

The moral? Take your goat curried or with a pinch of salt. Savour the flavour, but don't mistake it for truth.

One has to be careful when discussing sources so I suppose I can't say too much but what a load of rubbish.

I was careful not to be specific or to be categoric, instead kept it to general principles. In this case, regardless of the truth (which I don't know and am not supposed to know), the general principle is that there's 'truth' and there's how we interpret and pass on that truth which can be coloured by our prejudice. That, I am afraid to say oh exalted one, is incontrovertible and thus plainly not rubbish.

Ps: unless you're referring to my assumption regards SC's ITKs connectedness or otherwise, which may well be wrong and I therefore withdraw it.

There you go. That, i'm afraid to say, oh fucking lowly one, is where your whole theory falls down.

Also I just checked and apparently Sissoko is on £95,000 per week (our 3rd highest earner). WTF!

Could we not just sell him and give the £95k to any players causing unrest about wages?

Btw, what is Dier wage? 50kpw?

All the numbers you see in the press or on the internet regarding players wages are the majority of the time just plucked out of thin air. Not worth getting emotional over made up numbers.

Bleat

 

[Tucker]

So do we get to know what the whole Romeo and Juliet thing was about now?

I hope Sam Wallace enjoys that bleat.

 

[harry's chin]

A more positive Goat today, must of been in bad mood yesterday!

Time of the month perhaps

 

[allatsea]

The Goats latest bleat seems to me to be quite at variance to parts of the earlier bleat from the Goat

 

[stonecolddeanaustin]

The goat needs to have a word with himself!

Both 'bleats' were from sources that we trust. The Goat can only pass on what he's fed.

Come on people, you know this.

 

[nickspurs]

It's a complete Goater-coaster at the moment. This is going to be emotional.

 

[mark87]

I hope Sam Wallace enjoys that bleat.

He won't report it because it's not negative towards us.

 

[mark87]

Have to say though, The Goat is giving my emotions a real head fuck.

 

[tony0379]

Bleat

Stop fucking with us, you flea ridden, hairy prick.

 

[Col_M]

We go 20 days with nothing and then the goat and dog feed us like we're at a roman orgy.

 

[Clark28]

I'm too new to all of this, is a bleat a good thing?
