My My foul personal insults how unfortunate that you have decided to reduce a perfectly reasonable discussion to that level

Tut Tut.


How unfortunate that you feel unable to answer a straight question but would rather avoid it.


I've avoided nothing I will say again the answer is in my original post it's not my fault that you appear to lack the capacity to see it.

Thank you for refraining from the foul personal insults we really don't like it on this board you know. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


I've been called far worse. Maybe you should man up about it.

My capacity tells me right now that there is very little point in continuing a conversation with someone who has not got the balls to answer a straight question regardless of how many times the opportunity is given. The answer you gave which you are referring to did not address the 99% point that I made. But then we both know that.

Also you get certain posters who insist he is right 99% of the time which in fairness, is ludicrous.

From the outside looking in, there seems to be a split on here. There are this who hang on his every word and refuse to accept he is ever wrong and those who believe its all done purely to generate more hits for the site.

Personally I think that even a blind man would hit the dartboard every now and again if he threw enough darts.


Ludicrous ; Laughable or hilarious because of the absolute absurdity or incongruity.

On Tuesday afternoon Carl posted an update saying he had been told Cardiff had made a £1.5m bid for Jamie Mackie and a loan moe for Tommy Smith both from QPR. It has now been established that both those statements were true and only the comment that Swansea were interested in Smith is open for conjecture. However Carl only ever said it was what he had been told which when related to our club was "Spot On". Not laughable, hilarious, absurd or ludicrous.

Carl also stated that Cardiff we still hopeful of completing a deal for Craig Noone which again we now know to be the case as the club only abandoned their pursuit of this player at 4.00pm that day.

At that time the club having been turned back by QPR and Brighton the club moved for Marvin Sordell at Watford, and at 4.30pm Watford accepted a £3m bid. Sordells agent discussed personal terms with the club and no further contact was made until 7.30pm when Cardiff contacted Watford for the paperwork only to be told they had accepted a better offer from Bolton. Cardiff refused to improve their bed and the rest is history. All of this took place after Carl posted his update but it does nothing to discredit the information he posted earlier.

In fairness it disrespectful to describe believing what Carl posts as ludicrous for the simple reason that so much of what he says turns out to be accurate.

The thing is so many people accused Carl of posting nonsense when he said that Craig Bellamy would be signing for Cardiff City, that was apparently a laughable, hilarious, absurd and utterly ludicrous update.

Still happened though didn't it. ;)


By the way, can you please show me where it has been established that Carl's post have been proved to be correct.


I think you got the scatter gun out with that statement please try and be specific at least that we give me a chance to reply.

:ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:


Read back your original post and please explain where it has been established that Carl was correct with the names and deals you referred to.


I have so please refer to my previous post. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

If you think you have addressed the question I think maybe you should look a little closer to home for problems with the capacity to understand straightforward questions.

And your avoidance says everything I needed to know thanks.
