StuGers 477 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Very strange turn of events for this site. It went from being semi-informative to almost purely negative stories and ludicrous transfer information. Is this a victim of the Fake News war? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Months ago I made the same enquiry of admin here as I'd formed the same opinion. Whoever it is they certainly don't like our manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barebear 37 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I totally thought this was a fake Gers fansite. The stories are always negative and the clickbait is rife. Never any stories that the MSM don’t carry, so I’ve decided to avoid. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I am sure Frankie has asked in the past not to post things from that site so I don't think he has ever trusted/liked the person running it. I may be wrong so excuses if I am. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never any stories that the MSM don’t carry, so I’ve decided to avoid. Had a wee look, as you say certainly negative. Best avoided. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,282 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Probably set up with good intent, but, as we see on various boards, if something goes against the grain - opinion-wise - things can take a nasty turn. And as opposed to a board, who will counter bloggers and their remarks, claims, and conjecture? One should perhaps "hide" the relevant publication on NewsNow and if enough people do it, it may end up a no-mark again. As I said elsewhere, HITC, TransferTavern and the like have quickly evolved from a "news deliverer" to "news producers" and thus quickly lost respectability, if they ever had them.

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I think i blocked it ages ago as being not staunch enough for my taste. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Pretty sure the guy is ex-gersnet. Personally I found his writing to be not well written, lacking in knowledge and insight, and being very subjectively one-sided, and so always avoid. However, I do think he's incredibly adept at creating a very tempting, click-bait headline. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the headlines are classic clickbait. “Senior Gers Player Had Something Astounding To Say About Blah Blah Blah”. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is quite clearly an editorial line as far as Pedro is concerned, as in they, don't seem to like him. For me I just find the site a bit too tabloid for my tastes and the comments section is like reading the same on any tabloid site. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
