Isn’t it just a bit weird for local press and twtd not to report on Hirst at this point? Club must really have them by the balls these days… |  | | |  |

Flash. Do you really not see a difference in how signing news is shown on here/eadt?
Why do you think many posters joke about the imminent stuff.
Historically you had
Twtd understands town in for ....
Twtd understand deal for ... Is close
Twtd understands .... move is imminent
Twtd.. town confirm... signing.
What evidence are you looking for exactly?
Ashton known for it in past
Ashton bemoans transfer stories being shared publically
Local journos stop posting transfer stories. Soon after....
I'm not spending all day going back over this and you're taking to someone else anyway. But I had to have my input here because I find it amazing that you don't see a difference. |
You won't even answer valid questions put to you on this matter so why would I bother engaging? |  |

Can you show any example of where I've questioned Phil's integrity at all? That's complete nonsense.
I'll accept I'm wrong if Phil confirms as much - but it does feel to me like as the club becomes a more efficient media machine it is more conscious of things like this and therefore the 'holding things back' approach is new (or at least more regular and enhanced). Phil is that fair? If not I apologise.
I've said three times now - I 100% agree with Phil's approach here so how you think I'm questioning his integrity I have no idea. I'm just aware it might appear different to those of a different perspective. |
"It does question the independence of the fanzine" - that's questioning Phil's independence, and thus questioning his integrity.
Phil has said for years and years and years there are certain things he's known but has been asked not to report yet. I'm sure he'll confirm this. | |

Not really, other than what I said elsewhere, it was a sensitive situation, club had concerns if news stories appeared above and beyond the social media stuff. It dragged on rather longer than expected and became a little bizarre with Hirst's car being photographed in so many places locally. |
Further to that, was quite a unique situation, would in normal circumstances have had a story out on Tuesday. |  | | |

I like to debate ITFC issues. If someone chooses to run away from difficult questions, then that's not a debate, and is therefore pointless. Have a good day. | |

If you're seriously going to argue independence and integrity are one and the same then there's no hope for you. Following that logic has Andy Warren lost his integrity? Of course he hasn't.
I don't dispute that, it's the frequency of that happening and the more seriously it is taken and enforced that I'm suggesting may have increased. | |

Maybe not, but feel I ought to be as transparent as possible. Not unusual for clubs to ask their local media to keep schtum on a signing until it's over the line in case it goes awry. | | | |

This is a classic example of an idiot dragging someone down to their level and beating them with experience.
You have had an absolute mare over the last couple of days. You are a Town fan objecting to a Town website voluntarily not putting up content to help the club you support. In the days of clickbait and putting up any old crap which most sites seem to do that is extremely rare. We should be saying thanks for putting the club above driving traffic to the website via the numerous outlets who would report it and quote TWTD as the source. | | | |

Frimmers wants to know everything, and he wants to know it now. At all costs.

Everyone knows the situation regarding TWTD/Local Media and the club, it's been well documented ever since the takeover.
Why people get their knickers in a twist over things like this seems so churlish. | |

Andy Warren has changed jobs and is now working for the club. Of course there's no loss of integrity. Phil doesn't work for the club, so if you're saying he's not independent (particularly when the logo at the top of the site says "Independent Ipswich Town") then yes, of course that questions his integrity.
You're flailing about desperately trying to make something connect and failing every time. I'd give up if I were you. | |

I've a good couple of days thanks. Sun's back out today too which is nice.
Regarding twtd. I was just politely showing that flash was moaning about something he had refused to so himself, if you're going to moan. Don't then do the same thing yourself otherwise it looks rather silly.
Look it's clear this whole press release thing has supporters on either side of the fence. The main thing to celebrate is we have hirst. :) | |

It's always been pretty pro club since Phil took over. It's simply the tone and style of TWTD. Reliable, conservative with a small c, solid news about the club. It's never been one for weekly exclusives and incendiary leaks and what have you. And it's never been negatively partisan, e.g. in the way Hunt took the EADT re Magic (I will never forget that ffs). It is what it is. The biggest draw is the forum imo, it's really one of the best around, and that takes a lot of effort and skill to moderate well. | |

Both sides are right depending on what side of that fence you are.
Apart from your example. Anything in yellow is never right. | |

Those are also the reasons why TWTD is the most quoted ITFC source.
I can't believe there are people not getting this. | | | |

Looks quite good when you look at the hirst pic.
Also. My point yesterday wasn't about me wanting news. It was my personal belief about journo freedom. | |

What a world you live in! Just because you think it's right doesn't make it so, not to everyone else, or in any objective sense. I'm talking purely about TWTD's relationship with ITFC re when stories are published... we could also go down a Stoppard rabbit hole about reality and the common experience, but let's not :) | |

You are talking rubbish and have spent so long arguing the point that you probably don't want to just admit you got it wrong.
The club asked to keep it quiet. They didn't demand it. Why do you think they wanted to keep it quiet? Clearly there was other interest in Hirst and the club knew they were getting a good deal.
This has nothing to do with journalistic freedom. | | | |
