Sorry I'm late replying  ... getting lunch plus washing up.

Wonky is that the print version?

Yes  Neil. The bit about Wasps continues onto page 5 and is (to my mind anyway) cunningly slanted  to make the worst of everything.

All based on Gilbert.

What you do realise when you follow something like this is how little actual journalism goes on.

Telegraph 'Sport:     Headed Worcester Warriors:  Very small piece 'apologising'  -   The headline of our article about Worcester Warriors incorrectly stated they have received a winding-up order.  In fact.  as reported in this article, they have received a winding-up petition and the club have stated that a solution, which would  secure the long-term future of the club, has been approved.   We apologise  for the error in  our headline.  -  The motto of this sorry story is "Never listen  listen to Chinese whispers.  Or newspapers".

It’s interesting that Gilbert is being demonised by Wasps supporters now as much as he was by Sky blues supporters nearly a decade ago. Perhaps he just reports stuff as he finds it.

Wonky - Can you point me in the direction of this 'apology'. Haven't found it online. Thanks.

Do just an article digging a bigger hole for us. You would almost think Gilbert was party to it.

Forgive my ignorance, but who is this Simon Gilbert chap?

Thanks

BAGS ...  I suggest you google him!  He probably sleeps in SkyBlue pyjamas with a SkyBlue teddy bear.

It’s not that long ago that it was thought he slept in Black and gold pjs with a similarly hued gonk.

He's got to have at least two pairs, otherwise he's a dirty bugger. I wonder if he has two matching gonks as well? The mind boggles.

[Vespula Vulgaris]

He's a mediocre journo in search of a reputation. He's so desperate to break a big story that he will jump on any bandwagon and try to make it into something it isn't.

When SISU were playing games with CCFC he was all over that, now they've got a grip on their PR he switched to attacking Wasps.

It's always an issue when a journalist gets paid by the story, not by the month. He has to write something so he takes the path of least resistance. Rehashing the same rumours again and again, spinning every little statement into a "big scoop".

"We emailed Steve Vaughan multiple times and he has refused to talk to us."

When the truth is actually.

"We emailed Steve Vaughan several times in the height of summer when there was no rugby and he was on holiday."

Only Gilbert can take a simple statement about talking g to HMRC like most going concerns and spin it against us. A bit aggrieved that his thousands of demands are being ignored.
