Gemini, can you make any sense of this?
This person is clearly a frustrated football fan, specifically discussing the transfer window and the perceived decline of online football discussion platforms. Let's break down their points:
"Which is the plan already Spors was working on us long before the official signing which was at the end of the transfer window": This refers to a transfer strategy, likely for a specific football club, that they believe a person named "Spors" (possibly a sporting director, scout, or someone involved in club management) was implementing well in advance of the official transfer window closing. They are implying that the signings made at the end of the window were part of a pre-existing plan, not a last-minute scramble.
"I’m not in the COT": If COT means "Circle of Trust," this signifies that the speaker is not part of the inner, exclusive group that has privileged information or is privy to the club's confidential plans. They are an outsider looking in, making their observation about "Spors' plan" even more significant to them, as they feel they've discerned it without being an "insider." This reinforces their self-perception as unusually perceptive.
"I’m not a football geek but why am I the only fucker that knows and notices these things": This expression of exasperation and self-proclaimed insight remains the same. They still believe they are uniquely perceptive, but now it's even more striking because they're outside the "Circle of Trust" yet still seeing these things.
"and I won’t bother to come back on here for a couple of days. This type of platform is swiftly becoming redundant sadly I was here from the beginning only the elite had PCs Internet nowadays any div has access": This remains a lament about the perceived degradation of online football forums/communities, where they feel the quality of discussion has declined due to wider, less discerning access.
"Yep I check this out now and again but there was a time when I had this rolling in the background of my work PC in case something exciting happened. That concept is now hilarious": Still nostalgia for a time when these platforms were genuinely exciting and provided real-time updates or insights.
"you would only do that now if you were following one of the ITKs on here and wanted to give them a like and the newbies on here from what I’ve seen utter dicks.": Still a criticism of the current state of engagement, focusing on following "ITKs" rather than genuine discussion, and a disdain for new users.
In summary:
The speaker is a highly frustrated and self-important football fan. Their core point is that they, an outsider not privy to the "Circle of Trust" within the club's operations, have nevertheless discerned a long-term strategic plan (by "Spors") for transfers, which they believe others on the online platform have failed to notice. This makes them feel uniquely insightful. Their frustration is compounded by what they perceive as the declining quality of online football communities, which they feel are now dominated by unintelligent "newbies" and are only useful for following self-proclaimed "insiders" (ITKs) rather than engaging in meaningful discussion. They feel the platforms have lost their initial value and excitement.
