Roast Naming your "source"

[captain cotch 9]

come on people!!! I'm sick of people quoting from so called "source" from within a club. Don't neseserally give their name but at least give yourself some more credit by naming their position within the club!!!

Will wait and see captain... I really want him to stay but I'm hearing the club are already planning to organise a move for him at seasons end.

What was the context?

Yep because naming your source on an internet site is bound to get you more information in the future.

How often do you actually believe someone when they say that they "heard". I'm not saying they should name the person. Just name their position at the club to give themselves a bit more credibility

 

[Riskingheadandshin]

Simply stating what I've heard. I've been on here long enough for people to realise I'm not the big statement type of poster for my own agenda. I contribute and in this case was passing on what had been said to me.
For those who are fortunate to know those involved within and pass on info should be praised, not backhanded because you don't divulge who exactly it was. I said it was from someone in the footy department.

To start a thread loosely aimed at me is disrespectful and pretty sad on your behalf.

My mouth will now remain shut.

It's up to you on who you believe. For mine if someone tells me something and it comes to fruition then they build up credibility. At the same time if someone says they've heard something and it fails to happen they lose credibility. The more someones info comes to fruition the more likely I am to believe them each time and the more likely I am to overlook something that doesn't come off. At the same time the more someone is proven incorrect the less likely they are to be believed. No-one is saying you should believe everything you hear, just keep track of who tells you things that come good, they are the posters you trust a little more when they do pass on info.

That is basically naming them, isn't it?

sorry to be blunt but, get the **** over it, it's your choice whether to believe them or not!

Precisely RT.
And I will happily say I was wrong if what I passed on does not happen.
But to snivel that names or club positions aren't given just smacks of being sooks.
Credibility is earned on an anonymous footy forum.
Do you sook to the tv networks when Barrett, Wilson, hutchy & co make statements they have heard?

More often then not there is no source. It is just someone making shit up. My two cents anyway.

in many cases sources will only give information with the guarantee they won't be named otherwise noe information, what would you rather, possibility of knowing in advance of events or nothing?

A bullshiter is a bullshiter naming their position gives no more credit

B like me and just believe its crap because it most likely is lol

 

[captain cotch 9]

This is a fan footy forum! They only way to get credibility is to at least give more details about a source. That's just my opinion so take it or leave it

A big tip for you, if you don't want people disagreeing with your opinion, don't start a thread about your opinion.

It's a bit rich for you to start a thread attacking one poster, and then you crack the sads when virtually no one supports you

 

[fargothegreat]

Can we lock this?

 

[Heisenberg_]

Let the good times roll people, finals are around the corner lets not darken the mood over people naming sources or not which they are more then entitled to not name so they continue to receive info.
This thread is on a downhill spiral so its closed.

Give you a tip bro.. There are quite a few of our fellow bf members who do have genuine source.. Part of the fun of this is deciphering the BS from the god..

Cheer up buttercup
