You've also missed that I was using argumentum ad populum back at you to make a point. 🙄

What is your twitter name then Mr Turkish?

I said even said "It has mainly been a small number of youth team players, none of the first team." But your agenda meant you ignored reading/understanding that. 🙄

Why have you chosen to only take out Saints players from that list and not the long list of Saints staff and sports journalists I mentioned... along with the thousands of Saints fans! It is almost as if you have an agenda to cherry pick what you want! 🙄

Kameron Ledwidge and Jake Hesketh Both still technically Saints players, until they are released on 30th June. Lots of other youth players have followed in the past, no first team players. The list of Saints backroom staff and national and local sports journalists is longer.

It has mainly been a small number of youth team players, none of the first team. But in terms of the backroom staff, other staff members at the club and journalists... - the 1st team strength and conditioning coach - brand and content director at Saints - senior youth development coach - 1st team keeper coach - 1st team chef - 1st team kitman - head of 1st team performance analaysis - a youth team scout - former player care officer Hugo Scheckter - director at former sponsor Veho - senior groundsman at Saints - former head of Saints media, now with the England team - the agency that does many videos for Saints - chief football writer at the Press Association - former Athletic Saints reporter - plus thousands of Saints fans

You have a strange use of 'sitters' if you think either of those were easy chances.

@Turkish Let's continue where we left off in the thread that was closed on the main forum with your claim I'm a 'twat on twitter'. Why do you think many sports journalists, Saints players, Saints backroom staff and thousands of Saints fans follow me on Twitter? 🤔 If I was a 'twat' as you claim... they wouldn't bother. 😇 😁

The phrase 'even if I was' is not a confession that you are currently doing something. It is providing an alternate scenario. It is you that is failing to comprehend this.

Well as you seem to think the number of people who support something is an indicator, the number of followers I have on twitter, including sports journalists, professional footballers at Saints, members of Saints staff and Saints fans... show perhaps I'm not the big 'twat' you claim!

I didn't say that at all. You are now reading things I haven't said. The phrase 'even if I was' is not a confession that you are currently doing something. It is providing an alternate scenario.

I'm now doubting you understand what I mean by a 'fallacious position of argumentum ad populum'!

You've fallen into the fallacious position of argumentum ad populum yet again!

Can you provide an example of how it meets a description of superficial? Plus even if it was, being superficial on one forum for random Saints chat doesn't mean you are when in another role.

I've been the researcher on FM for 14+ years, that runs into hundreds of thousands of data points I've entered that are publicly accessible. I don't see how anyone else has more publicly available opinions on Saints than that.

Why is it not valid or relevant?

So that's a no then. More of my opinions on Saints related things are publicly available than any other person in history, so you had a lot to choose from! 😇

He prefers to watch Ali Dia in training and then play him in a Premier League game.

Can you give an example?

Saying someone's 'knowledge of the game is superficial' by the way they post is disrespectful and condescending. Putting 'I'm not being disrespectful' in front of it doesn't remove the disrespect or condescending nature of what follows.

I vote pony! You also didn't answer the second question! Are you not aware data from the game is used and paid for by many clubs, including Premier League clubs?

Why is it a 'silly game'? Are you not aware data from the game is used and paid for by many clubs, including Premier League clubs? Bizarre you remain so dismissive of it.

Bizarre how some people think saying 'no disrespect' allows them to then say something disrespectful straight afterwards! 🙄

No, because of my work for the 'silly little game' I've been approached by independent scouting companies and professional clubs to do work for them.

This isn't the 1980s Turkish, statistics in combination with attending games is how recruitment works in 2021. The small amount of professional scouting work I've had has come from working for SI for 14 years, so for you to dismiss FM as an irrelevant computer game not based on reality is bollocks.
