Bailey Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 A certain Arron Davies is appearing on the OS team profile page. Mistake from those running the site or a signing that is about to be announced . . . ?

Saint_clark Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Weird. At first I just assumed it was an old page for him that was uploaded by accident, but it's up to date with his transfers since he left us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Seems he is out of favour and was loaned to Brighton earlier this year. Could be the player 'not doing so well elsewhere' that Pardew was on about! We certainly need a winger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Was he not a Youth team player/ apprentice with Saints before ?? He was. I remember seeing him play v Cov Reserves at Nuneaton back in 2004. Handy little player. According to Wikipedia (so make of it what you will) Nottingham Forest released him on the 10th December. Free signing!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 (edited) This is rubbish and a photoshop with a fake website. Go onto the OS in the normal way you would and look and you will see that number 23 is Lloyd James.

Go onto the website in the normal way and look and you will see that number 23 is Lloyd James. Then why does the hot linked scrollable squad menu work? Is the data on the OS fed from a central database, could one of the links be corrupted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartosz Bialkowski Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Not a fake. But most likely a simple mix-up with the WEb Hosts. Their database includes all players. Just re-activated him as a SFC player by accident I imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manzo Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 This is rubbish and a photoshop with a fake website. Go onto the OS in the normal way you would and look and you will see that number 23 is Lloyd James. If you clicked on any of the players, he showed up in the list, next to Lloyd James.

Go onto the OS in the normal way you would and look and you will see that number 23 is Lloyd James. If it is a fake, someone has either uploaded it to the saintsfc.co.uk server, OR there is crossover between the Nottm Forest/Brighton official sites and ours, seeing as they use the same provider, which would be my best bet. That said, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 It's now been taken down, which is definitely suspicious... No it hasn't, the OP link still works and Davies is number 23.

There was nothing in that link that could make the saints site insert data into a player profile page.

Minty Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 (edited) So how did the OP find the link? That I don't know, only Bailey does. Plenty of websites have 'live' pages that aren't directly linked from within the publicly visible site, but exist so that people can navigate to them if given the direct URL. Or, as seems to be the case, new/modified pages being edited, before a link to it goes live. Edited 11 January, 2010 by Minty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 The link worked before. Now it doesn't. It wasn't a fake, but it might not be right either. Wiki does say he's been released though, so it wouldn't be strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 And yet when you look here; http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TeamHome/0,,10280,00.html He still is listed. It's not a fake, it's just a mistake somewhere along the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Odd. Very odd, but CHDAJFU? Yes Was part of the Yeovil team that got to the Play-off final a few years ago and then the next season was a key part of the Forest team that got automatic promotion.

Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Maybe it is true. But the way it happened earlier was very strange. i.e. At one point you could only see Davies if you used the link in the OP. If you tried to get to the same page any other way he didn't show. I think that would raise suspicions in most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 11 January, 2010 Author Share Posted 11 January, 2010 Why would I photoshop it? In all honesty, I have no idea how to even use that software, yet alone mock something up like that! I just noticed it whilst looking through the 'Player Profile' section on the OS earlier on today. I'm guessing it's just an honest mistake from those running the site, nothing more than that. Still, a bit weird none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpturner Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 This is rubbish and a photoshop with a fake website.How can you possibly have a link whose underlying URL is completely correct (in terms of it's domain) that can take you to a spoofed web page created with photoshop? You could only do that if you have the ability to insert the spoof page on the domains host. I seem to remember you shouting "fake" on another thread and then having to back pedal.

Huntingdon Posted 11 January, 2010 Share Posted 11 January, 2010 In all fairness Davies was a quality left winger at Yeovil and destroyed Forest in the play-offs. It's clear AP isn't convinced about Holmes, so there may be some mileage in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
