Sms again!!!

[BoyWonder2]

Its called feeling that you are getting value for money and if TB is not feeling he is getting value for money then he is right to air his views. In the same way people can express theirs.

I'm not denying that fact, but if I wasn't happy with the service I was provided, and didn't think I was getting value for money then I would cancel it. I'm entitled to my opinion just as much as he is.

1st point - Thats only happened during pre-season. I'm signed up to the same service as you I'm guessing, and I've recieved the pre-season results, this is the only time its happened. Technically its still news. Yes I quite like that, and can understand why you are annoyed about it.

2nd point - Technically, you still have found out this news before people that haven't signed up to this service, so theres nothing wrong on that front. If your not happy paying 25p to find out the news 5 minutes before, even thought McScriven has pointed out that it was over 5 minutes, then cancel the service.

Like you say my 1st point I feel is my worst gripe the 2nd one really there is no leg to stand on

As it happens I agree. There should be a longer gap between the text that people subscribe to and pay money for and when it appears on the OS which is free. That gap should be atleast 30 mins so that those paying for the SMS service actually feel they are getting their monies worth. To simply leave it 5 mins must make people wonder why they bother paying for it.

I realise it will appear on SZ as soon as the first text is received and I therefore wonder if the fact that it will appear on sites like this, is the reason the gap isnt longer. It would perhaps detract from the club seemingly making the announcement first.

Maybe....? :unsure:

I think the point has already been made that not everyone can sit in front of a pc all day and see the news on the OS. If someone is out and about they receive the sms to get the news, otherwise it may only be known the next time they log on. You can't please everyone and exactly fit everyone's needs.

Knowing what you've been through, with a bereveament lately, I feel that maybe it might be a good idea for you to take a week out or maybe take a while out of football all together and try and sort yourself out?

Reading this sentence again just makes me even more angry you have the ****ing cheek to tell me to take a while out of football and not even have the respect to pm me and talk to me on the level!

DISGUSTING

Absolutely....I wasnt saying you should not have. :unsure:

I dont think TB is unhappy with getting the texts. I think, like me, he would rather there was a feeling of being a little further ahead of the OS on news sent by text. So to cancel the service completely is not the answer. A longer gap between the text and it appearing on the OS will give that sense of money well spent and also getting the news ahead of others who dont subscribe.

a bit like when Season ticket holders get priority over other for cup tickets etc...

I don't normally respond to post likes these, but I fear you're starting to lose control of yourself.

I dont mean that in a bad way - you never fail to make me laugh and I love your exclusive interviews, but I feel that your love for the club is turning against you.

It seems you are finding wholes and flaws and problems in everything and some of it is quite petty if I'm honest.

Knowing what you've been through, with a bereveament lately, I feel that maybe it might be a good idea for you to take a week out or maybe take a while out of football all together and try and sort yourself out?

Everytime I come on here you're always critising someones post or saying something abusive, and to be honest it's getting rather boring.

I think your a legend, but don't ruin your reputation for god sake.

You'll probably hate me for this, but I feel I had to say it. Wasn't sure if a PM was best but I'll put it here.

Don't take it the wrong way scott, everyone loves you - but maybe there is a time for a break, and this might be one of them?

Jay.

I don't know either of you but some of that material is definitely for a PM rather than a public forum.

Far, far too personal in it's content. Probably delivered with good intentions... but definitely should be said privately between the pair of you.

My point exactly makes me look a right ****** as if I don't do that enough myself.

I think his intentions were good though Scott, don't be too hard on him. I think you just have to accept that this is the way the club do this and either continue to pay or not as you wish. I know you often put news up as soon as it comes through, but there are others that do this also so if you feel that strongly about it, don't continue with the service on our behalf. As I said before, I work in an environment where I can't check the OS while I'm working and can only check my mobile at break times, so if I wanted it it would be useful for me. I prefer to be patient and wait until I can get to the computer.

the whole point of the sms service is to get news on the move. We don't all carry laptops around with us or glued to the pc all day, so while your out and about you can keep up to date.
