If he has lied and printed adverse and biased material negative to Trinity, we should all buy League Weekly. It's a small paper and he would not welcome loss in circulation.

Sadly that magazine is awful... I buy it but it take 2 mins to read and I nothing new out of it ... the editorial is Narcissistic and bias.. and it's news is nothing better than made up!

We have to convince Sadler that he is wrong ... we have to get the popular press on the case and any government body who will listen...

Mark my words we have threatened Box's empire and he will stop at nothing until the owners and the club have been eliminated ... that's what he does!

And I believe he will do everything in his power to ensure that happens!


But he is banking on the probability that people won't care enough to get out from behind their keyboards and challenge him!

I think he has been a Trinity supporter since he was a lad, Tricky, but as Wildthing states, his allegiances may not be quite as strong these days.

But his comments were laughable for a supposed journalist let alone one who is supposed to be a supporter of the club

The problem for us is, being right isn't enough to win the battle.
It's no good saying the journalists should research. We need to give them something to write about.

Surely a good journalist would do research though?
Not sure I get your point here?

Agreed. It’s like when you watch a police tv programme and the person they are interviewing continually says ‘no comment’. You immediately tend to think they’re guilty, whether they are or not. Adverse inference i think it’s called. It never looks good to the outside world whether it is the sensible move or not.

Not really in this case. It’s an editorial piece rather than a investigative one so he can only comment on what is in the public domain and then add an opinion to that. In this case all the talk so far has been from one side with no reply. The key is what, if anything, comes from him when the club makes a statement.

My point is Sadler wants to sell news papers. If he spent time researching he might get a better story and sell more but it takes effort and he has easier stories. He can't take forum facts. He risks being sued.

We on the other hand have an interest in getting the truth out there. We can use him to do it. It wouldn't be hard for us to give him some headlines.

Expecting him to do the work is like expecting your boss to give you a pay rise because you do a good job. Even though you are right it's not in his interest unless you go tell him why.

Because he looks a fool printing opinions that are clearly at odds with what is in the public domain if he chose to keep abreast of developments.

Given his alleged allegiance to Trinity you would think the above would count even more so.
