Writing in tonight's Echo, Terry came up with some right gems to explain why Robbie Fowler just ain't doing it for City.
According to El Tel, he's unsure if Robbie Fowler reads internet messageboards but, if he does, then he must stop immediately. Apparently, God is full of running and sharp in training but, come matchday, he suffers with nervous tension playing as if stifled by the critcism at games and on the 'net.
There is, of course, not a shred of evidence Robbie reads the messageboards at all but having played at leading clubs for years and having experienced a lifetime of criticism for certain events and performances in papers, radio phone-ions, tv etc with a career in decline for 5 or 6 years, I'm sure he's got used to it.
Ok, we all know you get extreme views at both end of the spectrum for sure but Terry goes on declare how messageboard users share their views but not their identities.Funny that, I'm sure all users of http://www.cardiffcity.com/ registers e-mail addresses and a significant number of us know each other or of each other.
Some of the story made reasonable reading but some of his claims are, at best, flimsy. The irony also seems to be lost on Terry that he may as well have been talking about his own newspaper.
Following his article, ,The Echo goes on to print fan views including "City fan" slating Steve McPhail and "Ambassador Season Ticket Holder of 35 years" wanting Jones out. The Echo itself has contained an endless number of anonymous text messages and more from its own on-line football forum by similar names in his paper over the past 18 months.
Obviously, it don't count when it's in The Echo.
