Babylon Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 I prefer first4lcfc myself. I prefer drenching myself in petrol and striking a match to them.
edd Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 No any great thought is it?? I could create a twitter profile spouting bollocks and get loads of followers! Nothing to be proud of! at the end of the day leicester fans arent idiots. if the page was bollocks and lies they would know and my follower count would be 0. but its not. ive had journalists and radio presenters ask me if they could write pieces for my blog. why would they associate themselves with rubbish. 1600 blog hits in a week. that may mean nothing to people on here. but if you have a blog you will understand that is big for the first week. if it was blocks again no one would read it or at least would stop reading. im getting about 200 a day whilst on the first day i got about 50. rubbish? i think not
Toffee_Fox Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 so who is worth following? new to twitter so trying to find some. People think give first4lcfc a miss?
Babylon Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 at the end of the day leicester fans arent idiots. What? Take a look around, we have more numbskulls per capita than any other club in the country. You have got people listening to you by pretending to be in the know, that's not really much of an achievement. Admit you only repeat rumours found on here, other boards, twitter etc and people might give you a fresh start.
edd Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 so who is worth following? new to twitter so trying to find some. People think give first4lcfc a miss? no one is or is not worth a follow. may as well follow to see if you like it. give it a try, if you dont like it pressing unfollow is not hard
Babylon Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 so who is worth following? new to twitter so trying to find some. People think give first4lcfc a miss? Yes. Follow Rob Tanner, Ian Stringer, the72football, not sure about fourth official yet but they seem fairly on the ball.

Admit you only repeat rumours found on here, other boards, twitter etc and people might give you a fresh start. i have never once said i am the source. i do post rumours, when i post them i say theyre only rumours and dont say ive made them up. i dont use the site very often so i dont get it off here. this is the only big lcfc site i am aware of so i dont get them off others.
Mark Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 so who is worth following? new to twitter so trying to find some. @FoxesTalk is decent.
sphericalfox Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 no one is or is not worth a follow. may as well follow to see if you like it. give it a try, if you dont like it pressing unfollow is not hard give it a try...go on give it try...yeah, yeah, just one little hit.. Peddling a fantasy to satisfy your 'hit count' addiction? As Babylon has already said on numerous occasions, yet you NEVER reply, all you are doing is recycling the same information on other sites/twitters/blogs. You are have NO inside source. You do not work for the club, nor do you work in footballing circles. Admit this then you might get some respect. EDIT: So it is all bollocks. You are not first for LCFC information.
Haydos Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 give it a try...go on give it try...yeah, yeah, just one little hit.. Peddling a fantasy to satisfy your 'hit count' addiction?

Just out of curiosity....Where has he said that he does?

You do not work for the club, nor do you work in footballing circles. Admit this then you might get some respect. once again i never once even came close to saying that i am an inside source. never once came close to saying i work for the club. again i never once said i work in football. where you are getting this from i do not know. yes i do reply i also retweet so foxes fans can see what other fans think and feel on certain topics. if its about replying, have you ever seen foxestalk reply on twitter or lcfcnews or anything like that?
Toffee_Fox Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 Yes. Follow Rob Tanner, Ian Stringer, the72football, not sure about fourth official yet but they seem fairly on the ball. thanks mate didn't have the72football will give that a follow now!
sphericalfox Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 Just out of curiosity....Where has he said that he does? That point was evident in the title of his twitter. Suggesting when he started plugging his twitter feed that he would be providing news first before anyone else relating to LCFC. Now i'm no expert, but to get that news first you'd have to either work for the club, or work in the business of football. So deduction would suggest that he does neither, therefore the 'news' would be recycled from people who actually are in the know, or rumours dragged from the ends of the earth that turn out to be completely wrong.

Babylon Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 i have never once said i am the source. You might not say "I'm the source". But you make out you are, recent example. On Peltier: tweet 1 "Leicester also hope to sign Huddersfield right back Lee Peltier for £750, 000 very soon #lcfc" tweet 2 "What did we say early this morning before anyone else? About a new signing and price before anyone? We are #first4lcfc #lcfc" Now, i'd already read the story online via the mail website. Why can't you just be honest and post the link? As it is you make out the information was yours and you told everyone first. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2005993/Leicester-close-Kasper-Schmeichel-fail-3m-bid-Nicky-Maynard.html?

Thats EXACTLY what accounts like FourFourTom and Fourth_Official are doing though. Edd knows I've given him a fair amount of criticism in the past, but I really don't see why you're all having a go at the lad about this. There are VERY few people in the position to have real insider info, and even less choose to share that info with others, so expecting to find someone who tweets often reliable information isn't going to happen. Yes he could be a little less self publicising on here, but christ, give the lad a break.

Just seems like a light-heart title to me. Nothing sinister. Carlsberg don't make the best lager in the world believe it or not I agree with babs about the way he goes about posting (eg. just above), it does seem a bit knobbish. I agree, he does need to stop shamelessly plugging on here if he's going to carry on basically lying. Only needs a minor adjustment. Got a feeling he'll get more followers that way though and he doesn't really give a rats arse about what a few people on here think.

It's all implied. Now this has ruined Liam's thread with misdirection about yourself. Liam has the decency to collate info, spend time down at the Training Ground and club, search and find stories relevant with links. He's a top man, and deserves plaudits for his continuous and outstanding efforts. You have spoiled this thread with your ego.
Babylon Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 first could also mean the best etc etc. my uncle works for the club. So you are now saying you do have an inside source? Could you please tell me what inside information you have broken, that was not already posted somewhere else? I'm checking the lcfc tag often, and EVERYTHING you have posted I have already read before. Sometimes days before, sometimes hours, sometimes just seconds.
Toffee_Fox Posted 22 June 2011 Posted 22 June 2011 TBH the first thing I saw about a new £3m bid for Maynard was on here people taking it from that FO twitter account now the daily mail are saying its been rejected but no-one else said about a second bid, im sceptical over, gets a lot of young footballers talking to them and two of our players telling people to follow them makes me wonder but people on here say it's not reliable and it's just copying things so don't know what to make. Im on the fence with them, stringer and rob tanner im following, they will have links to the club i would have thought and a few agents ive got too.

Got a feeling he'll get more followers that way though and he doesn't really give a rats arse about what a few people on here think. Said it myself the other day, a slight re-brand as somewhere that will post all the lcfc news / rumours i'm cool with. Saves people following a shit load of other people, a bit more honesty about where the information comes from and I think lots more people would follow him.

It may seem like I being unduly harsh, but it's unfair to redirect traffic off this forum to satisfy his 'hit count' when there's actually nothing on offer there. (in my view) People might just say the same thing about my internet blog penneth. They are entitled to their opinion.

I'm unsure with Fouth offical, mainly because what they have posted has already been reported elsewhere (except for the second Maynard bid, which I can only trace to them). But, they do seem to know people so i'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for now. Worth a follow if you can take it all with a pinch of salt.
