Title: Apology from Martin Score's easy
Post by: janaage on Wednesday, September 28, 2005, 15:27:32
That should be the headline in tomorrow's Adver after this

Well done Paul, if only for the extra £100 in the kitty, which will be used for future signings before anyone implies anything  :wink:

Honestly dave_m  :roll:

Now he's a grown-up, Jimmy has to learn to face the consequences and take responsibility for his actions.

I think he should be grateful he got off so lightly.

Dam right he's not a kid.He's a grown lad for gods sake yet he does the most childish things because he likes the attention.

I can see why yeovil red is defending him so much now...


"I was on the radio once as the "a leader of Swindon football violence" when I got knicked for making a rude sign at football.It was complete rubbish of course but I got a 500 fine and 6 month ban from every ground in England.I was only 17 at the time and got stitched up big style it was the only time Id ever been arrested and frankly it scared me a bit I really wish I had the nouse to fight it but as a young man I was more inclined to take the punishment and get on with my life."


Thats what he said once. Either that or hes too scared to be mean to him as hes met him now.

Tis true :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I defend Jimmy from people saying they are going to beat him up because they are grown men and he a spotty teenager.Yes he's a compulsive troll and pest but really its only a crappy internet forum Im really not sure why people take it so seriously.

That said I used to slate him all the time so im full of shit :D

I cant see people following these threats through. Asher is about 5 foot tall isnt he? Its just people talking big as hes so damn annoying. I'm delighted somebody got him into trouble. Even if I do think its a completely gay thing to do

bang out of order doing that to j1m, he's a fucking town fan through and through to be honest, up in hull last year, leeds a few before just to name a couple.

its a load of bollocks- fair enough he's acts a cunt and gets up people's noses on here but for fuck's sake, threatening to sue an 18 year old, frankly changes my whole opinion of the trust... its the fucking internet.

i'm sure he's a nice enough lad in real life and £100 is a fair chunk of anyone's money and im sure it'll mean he wont be able to afford to go away when he wants to, when half the cunts on here and at the county ground who have got the cash wouldnt even think of going away.

makes me sick

Am I the only person who finds this fucking hilarious?

I'd hate to say it but the worlds got more to worry about than some 18 year old on forums mouthing off. We all know what j1mmy's like and take no notice.

Hope the £100 helps with a loan player though, cheers for that!

 :D

Oh well, that's OK then. What else is he allowed to do that you wouldn't allow someone else to get away with because he's a Town fan?

Nothing's "just the internet" any more - it's so woven into everyday life as a major source of information. There's been a lot of this kind of "everyone knows what j1mmy's like" and OK on here maybe people do. But actually not everyone does - we had a thread go up on the Trust forum on Saturday night from someone enquiring about this, basically saying "although I don't know all the facts, there's no smoke without fire and this leads me to seriously question Paul and the Trust's integrity". The lie had also spread to a few non-Town messageboards by then as well. These things then have a way of echoing back as fact, doing the rounds in pubs etc. The fact you deny it gets ignored and before you know it "everyone knows" that the Trust are a bunch of thieving gits and the Red Army Fund is a sham.

How far am I supposed to let this lie - which don't forget amounted to that I was personally ripping off fellow fans and commiting the criminal offences of theft, fraud and embezzlement - go before I did something to stop it? When I initially posted that these allegations were just lies and could be libellous, j1mmy just posted back taking the p**s - he wasn't going to take notice until someone made him do so by proving they were serious. He now knows I was serious.  There comes a point where you have to say enough is enough, no matter how many away games he goes to.

To be fair, on the basis of meeting him for about 5 mins, yes he did seem to be quite all right.

£100 is a fair chunk of anyone's money

First, making a token payment by way of compensation is pretty standard for settling libel cases. And it's not like I'm benefiting personally - a donation to the Red Army Fund that he sought to damage in the first place struck me as a kind of poetic justice.
Second, the amount was arrived at after speaking to him and establishing roughly what his disposable income per month is. We've agreed he can pay it in chunks and it won't take all his dosh, but it will hurt a bit - its supposed to. Had he been older or earning more or whatever the amount would have been more. And to put it in perspective, if this had got to the stage of the solicitors actually having to start chasing him, it would have cost a hell of a lot more than 100 quid. You're looking at most of that just for the initial letter.

Kid or not, there comes a point as part of growing up when he has to realise that actions have consequences, even if he did think he could do what he liked hiding behind his keyboard. His actions in putting this libel out in the first place could have had very major consequences on the Trust and me personally - the consequences he has had are minor by comparison. I'd say he got off lightly - if he'd done this to someone more malicious than me they needn't have offered him a way out via an apology and retraction, they could have completely taken him to the cleaners.

Bottom line is, I suppose, how much shit do you expect me to take just because I try to do my bit via the Trust to help the club? It's easy to be "ah its only j1mmy/the internet" when you're not the one being falsely accused and watching a completely malicious lie (which could affect your job prospects etc as well as ruining the hard work of dozens of volunteers who've helped collect for the Red Army Fund) spread across half a dozen internet sites in a few hours. Like I said, there comes a point when you have to say enough is enough.[/b]

Yeovil, I think you should make a token gesture of £100 to the Si Pie Drinking Fund.

My lawyers will be advising me and contacting you shortly.
