Basically, I played a small prank on the people who had a campaign to get Hitzfeld as our manager. It was harmless enough, just setting up a fake German newspaper and requesting interviews in pidgeon english, the sort of thing that happens in the playground every week. Anyway Im not proud of what I did (even if it was a masterpiece ) but I would have gotten away with it if it hadnt been for them pesky kids that spotted the fact Id translated Alan Shearer into something to do with sheep using babelfish. Cant find the pages on peasepud.com that I had on it anymore where I documented it all but the newspaper site can be found here (although its not looking its best these days ) > http://www.loerrach-zeitung.de/ Oh and cheers on the title I nearly had a heart attack thinking I must have snuffed it!

Gejon 2 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I thought it was a bit harsh given that people had put a shit load of time and effort to do something they thought was for nthe good of the club. The Hitzfeld stuff did go way to OTT on the forum though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitzfeld stuff did go way to OTT on the forum though. Not being funny and I know people wil shoot me down probably but how exactly was creating a dossier of golf clubs for the good of the club? At the end of the day in what way did it actually affect the "campaign"... It was only a bit of banter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day in what way did it actually affect the "campaign"... It was only a bit of banter... In their opinion it was for the good of the club, they put a lot of work into it and thought it was paying off due to what you and Pud did so I can see why they were pissed off when it turned out to be "banter". I am sure Pud would be canny pissed off if someone tricked him into thinking the supporters group had made some sort of breakthrough, he has got quite sensitive when people have questioned their motives.

I am sure Pud would be canny pissed off if someone tricked him into thinking the supporters group had made some sort of breakthrough, he has got quite sensitive when people have questioned their motives. I never actualy did anything other than think it would be funny if a journalist contacted them seeing as (i think it was Skirge?) were convinced they were already in talks with Swiss journalist (which looked like as much lies as Pedros German journo) so what would there reaction be if a German journo actually made contact. Little did I know that Peter actually going through with it would see threats being made and what almost felt like grown men getting suicidal over it.... Lets be fair though, aye Peter may have tricked some into believing something that was not real but is that any different from HTTs interview? Both were blatant lies.... I dunno which one was worse in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 At the end of the day, what happened happened, one thing I will say is that the one person who now seems to see it for what it was ie a joke is HTT. Ive had a conversation with him only last week where we ended up laughing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a conversation with him only last week where we ended up laughing about it. is it true he ended up getting a 10 month ban for posting your phone number? also the people that reacted badly must have problems because fair enough it would have been really embarrassing for them when they found out the truth but it was only a joke and it was hardly offensive and it didnt hurt anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
