Why does Pete

[Mr Lofty]

LOL....... I meant to say, 'I for one do not agree at all with your point of view, and think that it is not at all correct!

Better, I agree :red_heart:

No worries, but if you are not agreeing can you explain why.

[qblockpete]

Mr Lofty, not true

I visit most QPR boards and I'll can point you to a rumour on every one of them.

Keep getting told I talk rubbish about potential signings, cannot have it both ways.

This site will continue to run rumours for the next 8 years at least

[qblockpete]

I've been posting rumours since before Gp was here on the old official board which, I belive I started posting on in 2003,

No worries, but if you are not agreeing can you explain why.

The original question posed was:
Why QBP gets shot down in flames whenever he passes on what he has heard.?

Your reply was:

You consider that either directly or indirectly, information is leaked to him, and that this is wrong.

My View:

This is not the case, almost all, if not all of the attacks are based upon the accuracy or otherwise of the information, with most taking great delight in ridiculing QBP if it is shown to be inaccurate. No appologies are ever offered if he is correct etc.

You yourself participate in debate regarding these rumours, it is therfore hypocrtical of you to take any moral high ground as regards to the source(s) of the material posted. As a side, newspapers etc, all report on rumours relating to all football league teams, it is not unique to our club at all.

It is not for me to defend QBP - he's big enough (literally ) to look after himself, but think that your answer was not correct.

I can confirm that - i joined the off in 2003 and i think you were on there just a bit later than me.

got ridiculed then, did I not???

[THE FLYING COW]

well

i beleived in you pete

[Spencer]

got ridiculed then, did I not???

To be honest Pete - not in the early years from what I can remember - i can only remember the latter part of the Official MB - when you had a few run ins with people(One being Pete Ranger who was the guy who reported about hart departing - )

If I can recall pete - it wasn't that hostile or was it ???

[qblockpete]

To be fair, wish I could find it !!

Think it was, but internet has grown since then. I'm guessing in the early days, it was more low profile. You didn't get the same amoount of posters you do now, it was a group of people

Maybe Shamie could find some posts, would be good to look over them.

[Mr Lofty]

I haven't a clue what you are talking about with regard to moral high ground. I feel it is unprofessional for a football club to leak information, or for a person who is privy to information due to certain employment to keep leaking that information. In my opinion it is a disservice to the club.

Why am I taking a moral high ground? Have you looked through all my previous posts dad? Obviously not. I have voiced this concern many times. Pete will tell you I have never ridiculed him like others. I may dissagree of course but that is what is all about.

Where I feel you are missing my particular point is that I appreciate many of the 'rumours' never come true but name me one signing that has come true where it wasn't mentioned on this board beforehand by Pete in some sort of format.

For the record I have never insulted Pete concerning signings that havent happened. I have only expressed concern as to the purpose of his 'rumours'.

I still think you are missing my point.

[qblockpete]

what a load of codswallop.

The very reason why you are here, is not to dig me out, but to find out snippets of information. Thats the media, whether, newspapers, internet or TV.

In your world, we wouldn't have any. Find me a football forum without a rumour.

It was a lot more low profile in them there olden days..

I used to think QPB was a fans spokesman for the offish MB

Me missing the point......... you answered the original question in a certain way; that was the point that you made, and I have responded to it......How can I have missed your point?........... and yes, I have read your posts in the past, debating signings / rumours.

I know exactly where you get your information from and am continually amazed as to why you are allowed to spout it off on here.

You are far more cunning than any other rumour merchant which is what gets my beef. The other snippets you are claiming I am on here for are all nonsense that you would see much faster on newsnow if you were bothered. I am on here to see the views of other fans and to see how the mood is swinging etc.

Do not make assumptions on my behalf clever **** as you dont know as much about me as you may think. As I have said before I like this site but when you start getting too big for your boots it ruins it. Bit like the owner of a shop telling you what to buy.
