johnnypd Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 clears up the ashley interview once and for all. I cleared that up when I I got reply to my email from Paul McCarthy (Sports Ed at NOTW) he's hardly going to say "Oops, did we really publish that one?" is he? fwiw i thought it was confirmed then too but i'm sure there were a few others who didn't. not that i blame them mccarthy is an odious twat and the one who accounced the 'betting scam' to the world.

Dave Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It was a massive spread full of quotes. Then some suggested the interview had never actually taken place (.com were amongst those who suggested this), then I think they backed down. As far as I'm aware it was a kosher interview.

80 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It was a massive spread full of quotes. Then some suggested the interview had never actually taken place (.com were amongst those who suggested this), then I think they backed down. As far as I'm aware it was a kosher interview. .com still say it was rubbish, I believe. They backed down and then piped up when they had it confirmed from within the club that it was untrue. All very odd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Strange indeed. However much the papers love to make things up, I can't see how Ashley would let them get away with directly quoting him at length if it was all complete lies. It wasn't like it was the usual 'a source told me' bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The next time Anal Oliver says "my sources at/near/close to the club tell me/have informed me..." I think I'd like to see his testicles on a skewer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
