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.


There have been a number of different posters with inside info of the team. One today - which was removed straight away. If it’s accessible to them then why not post it, no one should feel bad and Phil certainly shouldn’t, he polices when necessary on here.
The problem for the club is they’ve made a huge issue of it by banning Phil and yet clearly haven’t made that apparent to whoever gets the team and passes it on. Whoever is leaking the team mustn’t respect those in charge at the club- that’s a big issue.

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.


Like many, you're on the right side of history here. Hopefully the club will come to their senses and reverse the decision, unlikely with our current twot in charge but fingers crossed.

At this level it's a worry that we care about our team being announced. Announce it days before, we should be good enough and confident enough that it doesn't matter.

It's all just an excuse to avoid the awkward questions and a shameful episode in our club. I wanted to say great club but nowadays I'm a lot less sure.

Also, so many people know the team before it comes out - I used to get it often from a former reserve players Mum who never got close to the 1st team. It's not a state secret

Precisely.

It's no different to somebody posting it on Twitter, it's just a different platform. Maybe we should all post fake starting XIs in a Spartacus move to help Lambert keep his shop in order...

It’s always happened. Whether that be full line ups and/or one or two players, like today.

Lambert is obviously butt-hurt that not every is such a secret like he thinks it is and is looking for someone to blame.

Phil, this is ridiculous and utterly unacceptable from the club. Whether PL is having a sulk or not, his actions are the clubs actions and I find them totally pathetic.

Lambert needs to look FAR closer to home if his teams are getting leaked... rather than blaming the owner of the vehicle they’re being leaked from!

But, putting the moronic, petty childishness of that dimwitted buffoon aside, the fact that the club have seemingly backed Lambert in this matter makes it ten times worse. It just shows how utterly hollow and meaningless their words about family and community really are!

Above all else, I hope you’re ok. I’m sure it’s upsetting and a cause of anxiety for you... but please know that you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m sure everyone else is saying the same, but we’re here for you and you don’t have to suffer alone.

Chin up old chap. x


Exactly this.

It beggars belief that the senior leadership within ITFC didn't reverse this decision before it became public. They are equally culpable in my eyes and should be held to account after Lambert is inevitably sacked.

Beggars belief reading this.

If a team is leaked then it smacks of lack of respect from within.

Teams don’t s*** on themselves unless they really don’t like where they are and subsequently ‘don’t really care’

This needs to be turned around TWTD has been a favourite place in the Internet for a great number of us ITFC fans for a long time and represents the fans very well...not a place to create upset and discord.

In an era where we’re doing enough wrong, this own goal is more unhelpful.

Phil, you have my support.

This has also brought me out of the woodwork after a few years... hope you are ok Phil. The club seems to be rotting from the core. No pennies will be spent from Cumbria on Xmas gifts etc till this is sorted...

What else to say thst hasn't been said. Phil is the leader of the last of men, dwarves and elves from middle Suffolk up against Sauron and his Orks at Portman Road. He will win through. Though getting Liv Tyler in the bargain maybe a stretch!

If it is driven by Lambert, probably just doing things to push himself out the door as he wants out. Evans would probably keep him until next season otherwise.
