Well played Bozza.

What frightens me is the number of people prepared to immediately condemn the Albion, and certain of its employees.

And that's after previous idiotic wind-ups from Sid - eg. the Murray / bottle fiasco.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

If they do, is there not a possibility Bozza could be caught up in it...?

Depends how the terms and conditions are worded to post on here I should imagine. Only way he'd get caught up I would think is to provide information such as IP, email, usual stuff.

I wouldn't have thought so, he put the brakes on the thread as soon as he was armed with the info from the club. Not only that, but I am sure we are all liable for our postings personally. Why should what we think incriminate Bozza, when he is not responsible for what people post.

ip address means nothing

why would bozza need to provide sids email

he is hardly going to get arrested ffs lol

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

the thing is most people called "bullshit" very early on...i personally could tell it was bullshit as sid just seems like a 100% bullshitter, so i ignored it, can't really see why anyone thought it was true

anyway, i hope the club sue him for defamation- that WOULD be funny

Also surprised at the number of people who believed it despite so many glaring discrepancies in the story and that's not even taking into account his posting history

No but could easily have a law suit coming his way from the club.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'm going to consult my media law books, but i've not known of a message board owner to be sued for defamation due to the postings of one of his flock

the one case study i can think of is when the (i think sheffield wednesday) chairman sued for defamation due to posts on the bbc message board....the people that ran it were forced to release IP addresses etc. but i think only the posters were sued....not the owners

If there was a credible legal threat that threatened the wellbeing of myself and my family I would comply with any request to help identify the person responsible for actions undertaken on NSC. I'm not going to carry the can for the idiotic actions of an individual.

There is more than enough from Sid's postings on NSC for him to be easily identified and found.

However, I have never done this in 10 years or so of running NSC.

I think of NSC as performing something of a constructive opposition role with the club, in as much is it applauds when the club gets it right (as it does most of the time, IMHO) but offer criticism when it does something some disagree with.

By doing this wind up he has reduced the likelihood that any ideas or criticism coming from NSC will be entertained seriously by the club. On top of this naming a club official directly is bang out of order.

I might be showing my age but the Police being made aware and possibly investigating, however briefly, is a waste of a tax payees money.

A ban would almost be irrelevant as the poster is a busted flush now but a written apology to the club would seem to be in order.

You obviously have no idea about evidence collecting my friend.

Do you really think this is going to happen? serious question

yeah but ip addresses arent always right, mine used to say i was in scotland when i had sky

If the club wanted to sue for defamation, I think they would have a very good case indeed. The question is, would they want to?

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

as i suggetsed on a thread a while back is sid the "real deal" ...............................

 

[terryberry1]

Free Speech? ......... Not on NSC. Can't believe he has been banned. Was a f*cking joke. Some people need to get a sense of humour. Too many jobsworths on here

Whatever your IP tells you does not mean the company providing the IP (eg, Sky) cannot locate the exact source.

I really don't care. I think Sid deserves anything that is coming to him. It's caused me to waste a good couple of hours that I'm not going to get back.

got to agree, people have put me in the wind up bracket but Sid's put me in his shadow
