TUCKER.............VINCE.....

1. Tucker is a complete arse, in my opinion. Pretends to be a follower but never makes the distinction. I have driven to Hartlepool, Gillingham, Blackpool, Plymouth and all point between to watch my City. This wally turns up, claiming the mileage and expenses and claims to be the same supporter as me. You are not, Sunshine.

2. How dull is Choo? Sits next to a journalist and doesn't use caution. They are like coppers......you just can't trust them.

What was claimed to be said, probably was said. Fat arse Tucker probably couldn't believe his luck.

So they roll out Vince to back Choo up...............really? Take a step back from the club now and again Vince. They used you.....or you volenteered.

Most people are comfortable with the truth being told. So what.

That said, if I was anything to do with the club I'd pull Tuckers accreditation. And if he is the fan he claims to be, he can buy a Season Ticket like the rest of us.

Vince Alm I don't care what media Wales are reporting I was sat next to Steve tucker the couple of hours he was there. Firstly we have always invited a member of the old South Wales Echo reporting team since the late 90s to report on the AWARDS CEREMONY ONLY!
Up until this year it has been Terry Phillips who always showed a touch of class and discretion a true professional. Terry would turn up in a suit with just a notepad and sit there make notes of the award and then interview the winners after the ceremony.

Steve Tucker turned up looking like a scruff opened his laptop up then proceeded to hound individuals for interviews, nothing to do with the awards. I had a quick interview for his blog about the season and new manager. Ken choo then came over for a chat and he ended up trying to grill him. He started off by asking about Russell which ken Choo replied he has been giving a "strategic planned role, and not as a charity case for doing a good job it is a very important role" the discussion then carried on with Steve Tucker now typing into his laptop, about 5 minutes into the interview the question came up how do you think the season has gone then Ken? " Vincent, the manager, the players, the club are all disappointed and see it has a failure we have not achieved promotion or the play off they are good players costing 28 million pounds we would expect to have done better" Tucker then trying to put words into Ken mouth replied so you are saying Russell is a failure then? with that I said "you can't say that Steve" followed by Ken saying I didn't say that. Ken then finished off by saying make sure you write it properly.

Steve then phoned in to his office and came up with the headline Ken Choo said Russell failed which again I said you are wrong he replied its an exclusive and its mine.

This is incorrect and if Paul Abbanato and the rest of the clowns in walesonline got an ounce of decency they would have rung me to verify Steve Tucker before commenting storey I have not heard a dickie bird? Why? because my witness statement would drop Steve tucker in it. He did not interview one player about the awards sums up how much they are out of touch with the fans and in the gutter with their reporting trying to drive a wedge through the fans.

I will be consulting with my fellow committee members regards the behaviour of Steve Tucker on the evening and request we send a letter of complaint to Wales online about their conduct

All very nice but do they give one(WOL I mean)I'd put it down to once bitten twice shy and don't give him a scrap of info anymore.Give it to Carl instead,he won't tell anyone.

I really don't understand why this is such a big deal

Nothing wrong with what choo said anyway.

Defo agree with that Luke, it's gone a bit silly now. 'Witness statement, drop him in it, report him,'

Hahaha. My thoughts exactly. I think I'd prefer it if he had said that! Tucker just being a journalist. Not surprised to hear Terry Phillips always acted with class at these things. He's a genuine bloke. That's why he's still a local rag journo at his age. Hasn't had the lack of morals to move up the ladder. Tucker has a bit more bite about him. Tucker used to call things quite accurately when we were in the lower leagues and he was just starting out. I think he now puts the desire for a headline over his credibility which is a shame.

This really has been blown out of proportion. Choo was naive. Tucker was a journalist who preyed on that naivety. Happens every week in football. Lesson learned by Choo. Move on. Nobody even cares.

Get on with it no body is bothered

Its not the circles that I work in, but is there an "on the record" or "off the record" gentlemans agreement with these things.

Tucker is not an whipper snapper trying to make his way in with a spectacular scoop, he is an inside man who knows the game. This may back fire dramatically for him. In this social media age, do the club really need the local media ?

What the hell has it got to do with vince it is the chairmans quotes and media Wales headlines

I initially posted saying how much respect I have lost for Choo, but that was silly of me as I should realise how much of a slimeball Tucker is. I retract my comments on Choo and I apologise for my stupidity.

If this is true then Tucker can-t be trusted.
Tan would be totally justified in banning him.
Tucker should have understood what Write it properly means.
