press conference


Oz

Recommended Posts

What we know for sure is that there isn't and wasn't a press conference scheduled for 2pm. The original poster was talking b*ll****.

 

If it turns out there is still a press conference today, it would be a luky guess, but there is no way it wouldn't be public knowledge by now if there was a 2pm start.

 

As someone who works with press and media, you need to give AT least two hours notice just to get cameras set up etc., and probably much more if (a) the press conference is in Southampton rather than London and (b) you actually want to get some coverage for it.

 

I do tend to agree there should be infractions/bans for those who post stuff which turns out to be total nonsense.

**** all will happen today. Not too sure why i carry on reading this forum. It's clearly full of spotty little kids making stuff up or sad big time heros trying to look like they're "in the know". It is ****ing pathetic. Anyone who posts a made up story should be automatically banned from the forum. ****ing *****s.

i was on the phone to someone who works at st marys at that time. i asked that person if there was a press confrence. the person said he/she couldnt say but the matt le tissier suite and the channon suite and the media room were in the progress of getting ready for a meeting!!

 

thats when it started. the bit about it being on sky at that time was a lie to watch you all cry!!

 

2 hours from now it will be a little clearer

 

 

 

Oh cheers for the offer mate but i dont realy want to feel your mums gash!! maybe another time!!

 

If there was a press conference, no member of staff would be sworn to secrecy. Press conferences are not clandestine affairs. If the press officer says he is unaware of any press conference, it means there is no press conference.

 

Now, the club may have called one since someone on here rang up the press office (it doesn't take long to call up a few media outlets and lay out 30 chairs), but I consider it unlikely seeing as a press conference about a new buyer would be a high profile thing and the Echo/BBC/Solent/SSN would have reported it.

SSN latest - Now a chimp (Gary Megson) is on talking about last nights game.

 

I now need a poo, so if anything happens between now and the time I get back then my bad.

 

Now back to Man Utd RE Fletcher's red card.

 

Did your poo go ok?

Is there a way to filter out annoying threads full of crap on this forum?

 

Doing a running commentary on whats on Sky Sports and what your current bodily function requirements are has got to be one of the saddest things I have read in a long time. I can't believe I have even taken the time to comment on it - I am even sadder :smt009

Yeah, if you don't actually log in you'll find that you can't access the main board forum, only the others. That should do it.

There had better be a press conference - just bribed my network manager with promises of mucho Guinness to open up the firewall so I can listen to Radio Solent online for the rest of the day.
You've just wasted a lot of money on Guinness, and got your network hacked to boot :D

I would imagine that if there was a press conference coming up someone somewhere would have it on ?? Surely SSN would have some sort of take on it.

 

Seeing as nobody is talking about it, i should imagine there won't be one at 2.00 pm.

 

yeah they usually say there is going to be a press conference at such and such time and there are usually clips of people standing around in the room waiting for it to start.

 

F all from SMS up till now so looking less and less likly. Oz either is a Pi ss taker or got wrong info, poster with Le'tiss' name is almost defenitly taking the pi ss and is probably bunking off school

Eventually there will be a press conference and I will be ready with my Real Player, who cares if the rest of the network is screwed so long as I get my Saints news :)

Would it be wrong of me to expect infractions to be handed out to people who are making up crap at the minute and posting it as fact?

 

 

 

Good idea, peoplev think its clever to make up stories. I am all for infractions to be given for obvious duff info. It just demotivates people more and more

Confirm no press conference re' new owners, but there may be some sort of announcement concerning the bids. Nothing more than that.

 

Badvoc I actually thought yesterday you were a genuine ITK , Now it looks as if you are just another chancer like 90% of the posters on here....... Why do I bother with these threads

I, like probably a lot of you, have planned my whole f'ing day around being able to catch the mythical press conference. He shouldn't be infracted he should be f'ing banned the knobhead!

 

Note his location aswell!!

Saintstr1, I said I knew Tony Lynam; nothing else. And I am just passing on what I have heard. Don't give a s88t if you think I am ITK or not. Quite frankly this will all come out in the wash anyway. Probably fairly soon, but just not today.

 

If you read my previous posts I said it was my opinion we'd hear something by Friday. Today is Thursday. Somebody else has been spouting bo*****s about press conferences etc at 2pm, but not me.

After all that's gone before, I cannot believe anyone would believe an unsubstantiated rumour on here, let alone re-arrange a whole day to listen to a press conference that would be repeated over and over, if it had any semblence of decent news in it.

This is fair enough from Badvoc IMHO.

 

The key test for me on whether someone is actually ITK is the specificity/non-specificity of the information they provide.

 

For example, I can imagine someone meeting a mate, who works at St. Mary's, down the pub and the Saints employee saying something like "I bumped into Mark Fry today, he's looking much more chipper than last week. I asked him if we had a buyer and he said "Can't say much, but fingers crossed, they'll be some good news by the end of the week". Such an anecdote has a ring of, if not truth, then at least plausibility about it.

 

Someone who says "I have been told there is a press conference scheduled for 2.00pm" is almost certainly talking total tosh. It's highly unlikely that anyone working at SMS would know this before the press office did and the info is just too specific.

 

What's even more annoying is the "don't shoot the messenger" argument when very specific pieces of information are concerned. Even if you are willing to suspend disbelief and assume that the poster has been told this and accepted it in good faith, why on Earth would the Saints staff member make it up???? It's just not plausible. None of the ITK posters ever seem to go back to their "sources" and ask them why their information was so completely wrong.

 

So, I think those posting very specific supposedly ITK info which turns out to be false should be banned from the forum, unless they can find an utterly convincing explanation for how they got it so wrong.

Yes I know it's ridiculusly naive and after 19 pages of speculation on the takeover I take most with a pinch of salt and hope that some snippets here and there are true or not.

 

But as we all know SOMETHING is going to happen soon-ish, I didn't for a minute consider that the simple announcement of a press conference would also turn out to be bxllocks. It seemed totally in line with everything we have heard.

 

Yep, you're right - I should have learned by now but it's still bloody infuriating!
