Quote MsCityRedGirl="MsCityRedGirl"Let's just clear this up shall we. The underlying issue here is that of a personal dislike of myself. Of course not everybody is going to "Get Me" nor "Like Me". That's fine, I accept that. What I will no longer accept is a certain small section of Salford supporters constantly having sly digs at me on social networks, and at games.
Yes I have been vocal about certain elements about the past actions of individuals at the club, maybe that was because I saw it with my own eyes. I had friends that were affected. As tweeted to me this weekend, let me clarify the facts. I was never SACKED from Salford (Be real, It was a Club Shop Job) Ive been involved with the club in both paid and voluntary position's since I was 11 years old. I resigned from the Club in 2007 because D.Tarry was constantly cutting the shop retail hours, simply because we wasn't bringing enough money via retail. As somebody with Rent to Pay, I had no choice but to find a full time Job. I was gutted because the admin team were promised much more exciting things when we moved stadium. So the truth, Yep it's as boring as that.
People make mistakes as they grow up, being too open about certain issues has been my past mistake, Oh and this personal vendetta is down to pre agreeing to sell a framed shirt to a certain member of the Scholes family during the Salford Auction night. Issue being in hindsight I shouldn't of said it would be possible and as it happens the shirt went for a lot more, so I had no right to accept a lower offer, after all that money was going into the clubs coffers, which was explained on the night, which wasn't accepted and ended with being given a mouthful of abuse.
But since that issue, Certain members of the Scholes family have been downright Spiteful when it comes to personally attacking me.
As for this column issue, It isn't my fault that M.E.N have decided to not continue being linked with a twitter account that publicly swears at opposite supporters, fellow supporters and RFL admins. Is that really a positive advert for the "Salford Faithful".
I have many player's both past and present, club historian and journalist's that are friends.
I don't proclaim to be a Super Fan, Not EVERY supporter can afford to go Home & Away, Ive been a home season ticket holder for 19 Years,Unfortunatley I don't drive and have work commitment's that mean I only have home matches available to me. In respect of the column offer, of course there are many more supporters that could easily represent the club, and if they would like to write anything then it's up to them to do it. I was asked by Neil Barker because I have gained a credible reputation from my previously published articles (League Express, Forty-Twenty, IRL Media, Salford Online, plus a weekly PAID column for The Best Of Salford) alongside work for Leigh Centurions, Batley Bulldogs and RL4ALEX in it's foundation stages.
Enough is Enough now, Internet bullying is the lowest of the low, and some are lucky I haven't taken action. Please let this be the last request, Be and Adult and leave me alone to get on with my passion and desire to progress with my career , and you get on with whatever makes you happy.'"
Woah woah woah, don't be bringing me into this. I was the member of the Scholes family who you agreed the price with and I'm not the one having a go. I can't speak for Daz as believe it or not we are two different people!
Quote MsCityRedGirl="beezer"Well some times it does, just because your column dropped is not her fault, again talk it through with her..'"
And that 'Salford Faithful' account/column is nothing to do with any member of the Scholes family, it’s one of the most cringe worthy things I have ever seen, along with Cas Faithful, Hull KR faithful etc, if any member of my family was involved with some of things tweeted by that account I'd disown them.
but she definately did the right thing in my eyes.
