He seems to be taking far too much delight in the plight of the club. He's acting no better than many of the Sheff U fans that were being criticised last week.

he hates CCFC, he should come on here, he'd make loads of new friends.

Not to mention the poll about whether you support Wasps now they're here which sat alongside another PR piece.

Surely that will be a landslide, how many non Wasps fans will be bothered to click on a Wasps article?

He used to come on here, but he didn't like people asking him questions and not just following everything he says.

It's pretty much being pushed as negative.

Well everything does feel negative. That's the poisonous atmosphere our incompetent, greedy, asset-stripping, couldn't-give-a-toss owners has created amongst the fans. Like about ten thousand others I've stopped going to the Ricoh until they've left. Don't shoot the messenger.

Didn't he stop coming on around the time it was revealed in a council ethics meeting that they'd done deals with the CT to suppress stories after he'd been on here for months claiming it was tin foil hat territory if anyone suggested that had happened.

CT lost a lot of respect from me at that point. Not only the fact they did it but the fact that they didn't even address it once it was made public.

Didn't he disappear around the time it came out that the CT were suppressing stories for the council? Could be wrong though.

Nah mate, we'd be Premier League if only people didn't write bad news stories about Sisu.

I wonder what the crossover between the tin-foilers on here and Jeremy Corbyn fans is, because they have identical excuses for their chosen one's poor performance.

We'll leave making something up for TF. Talking of which you never did deliver your scathing and detailed critique that you promised following his CWR performance. Can't shut you up all off a sudden now if comes to your favourite subject. Which one does the most damage to CCFC I wonder?

Yeah, like I said before Tony I never did get a reply when I pointed out something you asked last time. I spent a decent amount of time replying to every question you asked me and you weren't courteous enough to even reply.

Your posts are as getting as desperate and silly as their articles.

This thread is the look over there tactic. In case you hadn't noticed the problem is within the club not within the telegraph. I suspect it will be too late by the time you and others realise that and then start pointing the fingers at fickle fans or some other direction.

Fully agree. And if I were a member of the Telegraph Sports reporting team, I'd be a bit dischuffed if the Chief Reporter elbowed his way in on a CCFC football story. Unless of course it's not intended as a football piece.

Yes Tony, because people actually think that others will see this and suddenly forget everything else going on.

Are you scraping the same barrel as them?

You ask so many questions (typically as a reply to question you don't want to answer) I really can't remember what specifically you're talking about. All I do remember is that when I challenged you to be critical of TF once he'd been on CWR you said you would. Strangely though you seem to have given those threads a wide birth. Can't shut you up now though.

Really? It's funny though as I was actually posting on those threads a fair bit so I am not sure what wide birth you are on about? It must be the wide birth you give when people actually talk about football.

You challenged me to point something else out, I did it and you never bothered to reply.

No Tony, I don't think that. I think that people will be able to read things and make their own minds up but you seem to think this thread will make people forget what's going on. Meanwhile you try to take the attention away from the Telegraph's embarrassing day.

It's hilarious.

Gilbert is a horrible little toad. Argumentative, objectionable and full of himself. As someone else said, he seems to be revelling in the misery of the football club.
It's hard to ignore him (as much as i try) as he is always posting links to his rubbish on football club facebook pages.
An ego that size can't resist reading this site to see what is being said about him, so Simon, please leave your stories to those who want to read it and stop posting links to your stories and your book at every opportunity. If people want to read your stuff they will find it for themselves in the Wasps Telegraph.

After the sneering article that a footballer has purchased a car we now have have an article by that scumbag Gilbert lamenting Russell Slades overblown reputation.

We know certain posters constantly criticise Reid and no doubt get their rocks off at this pathetic attempt at "journalism" but the club really should properly ban these tossers and we should boycott this worthless rag and it's on line click bait tripe.
Click to expand...
You should boycott it then.
You never stop moaning about it so why do you read it.
I for one think Reid is a tosser so don't read his shit.

It's pretty sad what they've done today.

A new manager has come in, and he's probably the best we could have hoped for. He's got a really hard job ahead and we should be giving him all the support we can.

Shame on the Telegraph, give the poor guy a chance.

Pity you didn't bother to read that the bad news story was about our new managers reputation or about a player buying a car, not SISU. Still you got in your usual tin foil hat analogy so good for you.

I didn't realise that along with SISU being a bunch of tossers, that Gilbert couldn't be as well.

How about our new manager?

To be honest when I saw the story was regarding an overblown reputation I thought it was about Gilbert.
