Time to put any differences on this board to one side and unite behind Phil. I’ve emailed O’Neill to express my absolute disgust. Keep emailing, Tweeting, whatever, just let the club be in no doubt that this is wrong. |  |

It is true that PL has banned me from press conferences. I've been hoping the matter would be resolved before it became public, although I think it has been mentioned a few times here and there.
Contrary to suggestions in an earlier thread, it's nothing I've written but because someone posted the team for the Lincoln game on here on the morning of the match.
This was reported to the management, Stuart Taylor spoke to me about it after the game, then a few days later at the Gillingham match I was told Paul Lambert had banned me. I've had a few chats with people at the club since then but the situation is currently unchanged.
While I have sympathy for PL not being happy with the team being posted - I am aware that managers don't like their teams being leaked and have asked posters not to do so previously - I'm not sure how I can be seen as culpable for user content, particularly when it wasn't brought to my attention when it was first noticed. I did subsequently PM the poster involved who apologised to both me and the club, which I relayed.
We have been able to use the material from press conferences even if I’ve not been present and I've been grateful for the support of the other members of the local media. Hopefully the matter will be resolved sooner rather than later. |
Wonder what Stuart Watson and Andy Warren make of all this, sat at home reading the tweets etc. They’ve been relatively critical of some of the tactics and performances this season (by their standards) so wonder if they’ve taken much notice. Not expecting them to comment on it mind you.
Is strange though, club would never dare block / ban anyone from EADT /Ipswich Star, but TWTD can’t be too far behind in terms of coverage and engaged fans. |  | | |

Sitting in a press conference room and regurgitating sound bites to your website amongst tons of ads hardly makes you a journalist, however a ban of anyone previously allowed is a bit harsh. [Post edited 28 Nov 2020 17:28]

Utterly incredible. And in the depressing year we have had already, haven't they anything more important to worry about? The terrible football, players getting crocked, covid... but THIS warrants upset from them? I expect better from the club, especially as Phil has explained what happened in a calm way - let them stew, we will all follow you. Who looks at their official site anyhow other than to buy tickets?? Good luck Phil, it's a totally petty overreaction from ITFC. |  | | |

Would be good if the media boycotted Lambert and just reported on what happens at the club more than what is said by its employees but that's the nature of modern journalism. It's all about getting clicks. In Watson and Warren's case they make their living to an extent by regurgitating Lambert's drivel. I blame people like me for clicking on it. Following football was better before the internet. |  | | |

Both Stuart and Andy, as well as other journalists, have been very supportive since the start of the ban. |  | | |

Good to hear. Must be pretty baffling for them too as I’m sure they “get” how this site works a lot more than those at the club. A real shame that their hands are most likely tied in terms of being able to write about it it in the press. Have you posed the question to them about jd they would, or would you rather keep your head down and do your time? | | | |

Thing is though, that is is exactly what makes you a journalist. Go to a press conference write up your quotes and post your story to your website that has adverts on it. How does he think he got to go to press conferences in the first place? You can't just rock up there and walk in. |  |

Very classy response and fair play to you for keeping it on the DL for the last couple of weeks. Not much to add to what anyone else has said really, it’s a disgrace what this club has become and I’ll be joining those in emailing the club when I get a spare minute
Oh and Lambert out obviously |  |

I did my school work experience at EADT during Stuart Watson's first week in the job, seemed like a nice bloke.
Not sure if you remember, but I leaked some inside info on here that Mel Henderson got from Magilton. We were about to sign Paul McShane on loan from Man Utd, I posted it on here and then I saw Mike Bacon scrolling through the messageboard 5 minutes later and look at me with narrowing eyes.
I got LordLucan to email you to remove it. TWTD. EDIT- Lucan said that he phoned Gav to do it. [Post edited 28 Nov 2020 21:21]

Credit to the club - this has distracted from the performances over the last week and longer!
But it's farcical as well. Phil and Gav police the forum as best they can but sometimes things get through; to get a strop on over it is hardly worth the aggravation and isolating a true Town supporter to boot.
Just to add, the person who posted the team, no doubt in good faith, could be feeling pretty rotten tonight. All I'll say is it's not their fault that in the usual classless, disrespectful way the club completely over-reacted. | |

And to be fair, I’m sure whichever team we’re playing don’t actually worry about our team sheets, once they’ve seen who the manager is, they know they’ve got three points. |  |

The person in question has apologised and there certainly shouldn't be a witch hunt.
In regards to the first line. The performances are one thing, but to attack the fanbase an its representatives... and as Mark Murphy said, one that has done so much for the community, building a community, money raised for charity, a place for people to voice their personal issues from mental health to gambling problems, list goes on. But point is, it has made me vehemently Lambert Out, rather than just wait for Evans to make finally pull the trigger in his own sweet comatose time.
Lambert's position in untenable for me. No coming back from this. He needs to get out of our club. |  |

I can only think he's had enough and is trying to get pushed out so he gets what I imagine would be a healthy payoff. What else could he be thinking banning a hugely respected member of the ITFC community from press conferences? It like pouring petrol on a fire that's already blazing. |  | | |

Anyone think Lambert might have done this deliberately to try and force Evans hand into getting sacked and a pay off.
Anyone with a brain cell with know this would quickly alienate the fans.
The whole thing is crazy, firstly if someone managed to post the team, it came from the dressing room, i.e. one of Lambert's players, who he has clearly lost...and then if a fan then posts what they heard from said source on TWTD, how is that Phil's fault...especially when he did everything to resolve situation and speak apologetically to the club.
It's utterly farcical and shows up Lambert for what he is, notwithstanding the fact that he is a shocking football manager. |
"Anyone think Lambert might have done this deliberately to try and force Evans hand into getting sacked and a pay off."
I saw it as the other way round - Lambert must have asked ME permission to ban Phil, it's not a small thing. If ME had a grain of understanding about how football works & the fans' point of view, he could and should have stood up to PL and said "no". That way, he could have got rid of PL without having to pay him off - if he'd wanted to - cos there's no way anyone with a shred of self-respect would have stayed after losing face in a showdown like that.
The fact that ME didn't do that speaks volumes. Demonstrates his incompetence. Or maybe PL has something on ME that we're unaware of - you've always got to wonder about that 5 year contract. |  |
