Reviving the ITK snippets thread


eddie

Recommended Posts

A couple years back we had this. Being a lazy sod with no time to trawl through the HCDAJFU thread, wondered if anyone found ITK posts from any of the threads and could post them here?

 

(although gone are the days of reliable ITKs, it seems).

 

Cheers!

Most of the people seem to be scared off or abused when sharing the bits they have heard. Real shame as think a few people enjoy reading them. Let’s hope we get them back.

Can't blame people for not believing alleged ITKs. We have had more than our fair share of shysters and WUMS pretending to be ITK on here over the years.

 

A lot of alleged ITKs are bloody precious about it as well. If you want to share then share but don't expect everyone to believe you.

No you cant blame them but they could just ignore them and shut the f**k up and let people decided themselves if they want to believe it or not

Yes they could but it's also a football forum, like it or not, dickheads come with the territory.

 

If people are going to get the hump when people don't agree or believe them they are probably in the wrong place.

 

Maybe there is an internet forum out there free from WUMs where everyone is polite, respectful and discusses differences like adults but I haven't found it yet.

That just about sums up social media. A virtual world full of virtual hardmen.

No idea if it’s all it’s cracked up to be as never used it, nor likely to. I guess most forums are not dissimilar to Saintsweb, imperfect. Some good stuff, some not so good.

For all the gas and talk, there’s only 2 posters on here that have posted information consistently that’s played out in time.

 

K billy

 

Guan

 

I can’t think of another single poster who I would consider itk

That one that was mates with lallana knew some stuff too but he was an a*sehole

TheVMan or something wasn't it. Was normally pretty good for early team news but didn't really know much about transfers.

 

Hard to know if someone is genuinely ITK or just on a wind up. Some things are just so easy to make up and can neither be proved nor disproved. For example I could post:

"The club are still in for an attacking player. Can't say who it is because I don't want to compromise the deal. Player and his agent are keen but the selling club are being awkward over a sell on clause."

Sounds very knowledgeable but all complete waffle and will never be proved wrong.

We've had a few itk people over the years. The proper ones in general post with little fanfare and are roundly thankws for sharing. The bullsh*tters and attention seekers like Jack schitt for example are largely ignore, abused or made fun of because they are very obvious liars.

Let's face it there is so much fake news around these days that it is nigh on impossible to give any credence to anything you read on here as 'snippets'.

 

Presumably anybody who works in around SFC at a senior or intermediate level of management risks immediate dismissal if they let slip any confidential information they have been given or have come across inadvertently as part of their jobs and very few people in junior or temp jobs will have any access to what is going on inside the club. Loose talk cost jobs.

 

Any so-called leaks will likely be deliberate feeds by the PR team at SFC.

Jack ****t didn’t post here, he used to post in Sotonians. I feel sorry for people who post with good intent only to get slagged off and called liars by people who have no clue. I can only assume some people are jealous. If you don’t believe a post fine, but why hound others away? Jack was a perfect case in point. He made it very clear that he was posting in good faith but that he was only passing on info and to believe it or not as you wished. He ended up getting chased away. I don’t think he even posts on Twitter any more. Perhaps you should chase the people who really do lie and have a massive effect on world affairs instead of backing them up (eh hypo?).

Don't you spend your time on this forum accusing people of having multiple accounts/being the same person? Also known as lying.

 

So how about you leave off the condescension because there ain't no bigger bullsh itter on this forum than you.

No I dont spend my time on this forum accusing people of having multiple accounts. I have accused one person of having multiple accounts. Strangely enough, I accused you and him of being the same person. An accusation is an accusation. It is not a lie. If it is wrong it is wrong. It is not a lie.

 

There are plenty of bigger bull****ters on here than me. You are one of them. You accuse me of condescension but again, you are one of the biggest condescending posters on here. Funny how you pick your targets and leave certain posters well alone isnt it? Perhaps you do have a multiple log in after all.

 

 

And what has this have to do with the topic of ITKs? If you want to support the hounding of ITKners then do so. If you want to attack me for being condescending or bull****ting, do so where you think I am being condescending or bull****ting. Here I am supporting those who claim to be ITK to be able to post without getting a heap of abuse. Do you have a problem with that?

He was a bull****ter Soggy, you know that right? He was entertaining to read, but made it all up and had a number of people hook, line and sinker.

VFFT is genuinely ITK and shares it on here when he gets it. It's worth saying that most people only hear snippets in certain situations so it'll come through in dribs and drabs, and sometimes be out of date before it's even posted.

You don't really believe that do you. Didn't most of what he said fail to come true, I can't really remember what it was about but I remember thinking at the time that it was bul****.

Maybe so Jeff, but as you say, he always provided an entertaining read and didn’t do anyone any harm. As with any ITK info, we can take it or leave it. FTF - he got the new manager wrong on one occasion - well, his “source” did (Pellegrino instead of Puel, but I am not 100% sure). There was a lot of info behind the scenes on the Fonte situation that was interesting (if true). It was a while back now but from what I remember it was mostly stuff going on behind the scenes rather than specific transfer stuff. His “source” wanted to get the clubs side of the story out there without being too official about it apparently. BS or not, he was always a good read. Seems to have fallen off the planet now though. Whatever was going on with Jack, he did come across as a bloke you would like to have a pint with and not just a run of the mill WUM.

SKD has posted some ITK snippets as well from time to time, he's the only one off the top of my head who hasn't been mentioned yet.

 

There's another guy too, I think he was Kenyan? The name eludes me...

 

A good friend worked at the club in a fairly senior role and was very close to a few directors, so I was told bits and on a few occasions socialised with some of the players.

 

Sadly they no longer work at the club and whilst I know a few who work there still, I rarely hear anything.

 

Personally don’t get the fascination/hate (not aimed at you, pamplemousse talking in general) with ‘ITK’s’ on here. If I get told anything of note, which I think I can share, I will. It’s up to you if you believe or not - I generally take with a pinch of salt unless I can verify through my contact.

 

But as eric has said, things are some times drip fed out (sometimes made up) and things change very quickly so can be out of date before they get out.

Agreed and it's incredibly obvious who the true itks are who are just sharing what they can. Very rarely do those types of posters get any abuse. It's also obvious who the bullsh*tters, liars and attention seekers are largely because they get so angry when they are even mildly questioned. I don't support any abuse or ridicule of genuine itks but over the years the likes of Jack schitt, Saint David, lifelong Saint and others deserve all the cr*p they received.

An entertaining WUM is still just a WUM though. He's not missed.
