Maybe I have this wrong, but didn't the announcement of Di Stefano's prospective meeting with Shels first feature on the Shels website ? Then Ollie, in his open letter to the Ron Moody lookalike, claimed to be pulling out of the meeting because Di Stefano had leaked details to the press :confused: :confused:
The website news item was posted after Di Stefano went ot the media, so yes you are wrong.Quote:

No problem asking. I was just pointing out the error in the comment. The Mirror were the first to break the story. It was subsequently on RTE Radio and then other news bulletins.
Eitherway, I think we handled it correctly.
Did you check with your club before posting the news item?Quote:

its rare i defend oily, but how else could/should he have handled this?Quote:

What was the point? As I said I had never even heard of them before the story was in one of the irish papers. I guess the next stupidity will be that I want to take over Manchester United! Well, Mr Glazier (he is actually a nice guy) got it for nothing maybe I should try? I do wish the press though would be a little responsible. I have never spoken to Drogheda, have no interest in them, and although I have never heard of them, wish them all the best!DROGHEDA FC
i like this guy :D
Big surprise there - a Rovers fan admits to liking a fascist with a criminal record.Quote:

You just know Steve's brother was sniffing around that meeting! ;)Quote:

And that's all within the past week! How many people can claim that?
He mentions an Irish Independent article:
Any mention of Shels in this, I didn't see it?Quote:
read the article by JUSTINE McCARTHY called GUILTY ON MULTIPLE COUNTS OF ARROGANCE. Thank the heavens for a brilliant journalist that is not afraid of the truth. I send Justine my hearty congratulations. She has added me as a fan!
Obviously you missed the smilie. Also lose the chipQuote:

It was a club statement sanctioned by the club? Am I missing your point here?Quote:

I was implying nothing. I asked a simple question which gareth answered.
Job done, carry on...
Thank God for thatQuote:
