Pop-ups stop us all from finding out insider information

I think this article needs very little comment from me. Some of the long-term observers of Dunk will see a lot of familiar stuff in here. My only comment is that this executive editor with all of his technology sounds like he’s a victim of his own mega-popups. Try typing it up in Word first Dunk. Then use cut and paste (our favourite). You don’t fall victim to those ads of yours then.

Aggressive take-over attempt ditched – transfer stuff soon
#1584951 – Wed Aug 02 2006 03:03 PM          Reply      Quote

I spent an hour earlier today typing up a news item that detailed a planned attempt to oust David Moores from Anfield that had been scrapped and then my broswer crashed. I will do my best to find the motivation to start it again later today.

My dog died last night so I’ve got a blinding headache but I’ll try and get the report on later. It will also be on KOPTALK.COM

Basically it’s just touching on the snippets I’ve dropped recently with some quotes from those involved (although they won’t go on the record officially). I can’t do anything about that so you can make your own minds up about their claims, my claims if you like but I’m just the messenger.

On the transfer front I posted in the Gold Club earlier today that I wouldn’t expect anything to start happening again until later this week or next week. Obviously we’re out of the country at the moment but Rick Parry has been working.

All I’ve got for you at the moment is finance stuff. I hate it so please don’t expect much enthusiasm from me.

On the real level – the one we’re only bothered out in reality (success on the pitch) – I do feel very confident that we will be close this year. Every summer I try to be upbeat but privately I’ve never had much confidence since I started the site back in the 90’s. This summer though I have every confidence in Rafa but I really do believe we must sign a striker at least. It is this difference in the squad that we need. We must not miss out on the extra addition(s) like we did last year, that would have made a bigger difference.

The stuff I will publish later today re: investment won’t be very positive towards the chairman. I can’t make something sound good for the sake of it and I wouldn’t anyway. My own opinions won’t come into it so please remember that I’m a big fan of David Moores as a person and I know he wants to succeed. People that want in have time for him also so I guess it’s down to you as the individual fan as to what you want.

Do you want a trophy just about every year such as the FA Cup or League Cup or do you want to be winning more. I hope you know what I mean by that.

Do we plod on as we are or do we accept the money that’s there, build a new stadium and give Rafa more?

Personally I find it hard because I like Moores, I like the stadium we’re at (even though I know we must advance like Arsenal and United) and with Rafa I believe he can do things much cheaper than others as was proven in 2005. On the other hand a new stadium, some new life in the board room and more money for Rafa is a nice thought but in reality will a shake-up guarantee more success or is it just about marketing.

Do you see why I hate it? It mashes my head.

Anyway I’ll try and get some stuff out later today.

If he’s got information why can’t he provide it to those who’ve paid for it? It won’t take long to retype it in for someone who’s been sat on his computer 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the last eight years.

Someone has already mentioned this next bit in the comments…

Gonzalez interview

Great interview and feature in 442 magazine (Sept 2006). I can’t scan and post it as the feds will bust me and throw away the keys.. just thought I’d mention it. We’ll review it on the podcast this evening.
- – - – - – - -

Despite always claiming he’s not bothered about the blog and laughing at his abuse of others’ copyright, he’s worried about ripping the article off. But if you’re warming the scanner up Dunk, why not scan those season tickets? (Because he hasn’t got any). Or the latest Lotto tickets and Pools entries? (Because there aren’t any).

Duncan Oldham is proven to be a liar. Again.

Back in November of last year, Mr Duncan Oldham, executive bullshitter at Koptalk.com, said in this post at FusionBB.com just how much he was about to start spending on hosting.

Dunk

11-13-05 10:45 AM – Post#25913

Nice. My site was crashing all of the time with Threads forcing me to spend an absolute fortune on hosting.

I’m going to use FusionBB on a new server (not used by my Threads based forums) details of which can be found here: Link                         (The price has now gone up by £10 per month.)

It’s the £59 per month server. Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz, 1,024 MB DDR RAM, 80 GB hard drive. Unlimited bandwidth at 100 MBit data transfer speed.

Hopefully this will be powerful enough.

He’s taken it off his site now, but we recently mentioned his claims of much higher hosting costs – see “More bull from Wallsend“  when he was claiming the costs for his FusionBB server were quite a bit higher – “I’m not sure exactly how much, it’s probably about £180. If I move the koptalk.org site, the new cost for that single server will be closer to £900-a-month – and that’s just for one set of forums.”

We all know he lies, but isn’t it great when we get him tripping himself up like this?

So Duncan, why the bullshit? Why lie to every single one of your members? Why expect them to trust you at all when you lie so often about so many different things? Are you really so thick that you think your customers believe you? We knew it was a lie, as did plenty of people who commented, but you thought we’d fall for it!

And it’s August now, so why aren’t the forums moved yet?

Another lie?

He’s kept his promise to make one change in August though – he’s given teenager drinking partner Steve the job of “editor” and promoted himself. His new job title is funnier than anyone predicted. As his rant is – although he didn’t intend it to be funny.

KOPTALK COMMENT: We’re obviously doing something right    (If you mean Koptalk is doing something right about closing itself down slowly but surely then yes, I’ll give you that)

People tend to talk about you if they’re jealous of you. If people don’t like you they obviously have some kind of obsession about you for whatever reasons. (We know that’s directed at us, and we know we are really getting to you now. In so many ways. And by “we” I don’t just mean me and the others who are involved in the blog – what about all the others who are quietly leaving Koptalk? Or quietly reporting Koptalk? Or staying inside Koptalk and bringing you down from the inside? (All rights reserved on that saying of course). Our reasons aren’t jealousy, our reasons are to stop you ripping off other Reds and giving the club a bad name).

If I don’t like someone I don’t spend my life talking about them because talking about them even negatively means they’re receiving my attention. If you’re a nobody, people leave you alone. (Oh you’re a nobody Duncan, don’t worry about that. But you’ve ripped a lot of Reds off. So we are now spending a small part of our lives dealing with you. Give those members you banned some money back. Give those people who left because you didn’t actually have contacts inside Anfield, Melwood or the Academy some money back. Stop lying, admit your “mistakes” and move forward. Before you’ve nothing left to give back.)

(He’s not happy with us, but pretends for a moment he’s not happy with Jose Mourinho.) Jose Mourinho is obsessed with other clubs. He doesn’t just talk about us, he also talks about Arsenal and Manchester United. But when it comes to us he tends to be very dismissive. He gives us that little bit more attention than the others and you don’t need to be a genius to work out why.

It’s unavoidable that another manager will have to refer to other clubs from time to time but Mourinho just can’t seem to concentrate on his own house.

Do you see Rafael Benitez making daily references to other clubs? No, of course not. He lets them do the talking while concentrating on his own show. It’s a bit like that on the internet really. You’ll see KOPTALK discussed on other sites but you won’t see other sites discussed on KOPTALK – either positively or negatively. We’re only bothered about our own website because in our eyes that’s all that matters to us. (Only bothered about your own website? Is that why you’ve dumped spursarmy.com and upthetoon.com? What about footy4free.com? I suppose there’ll be nothing to sell on that site now though will there! MichaelBarrymore.tv? chavgames.com? You don’t let other LFC sites get discussed on Koptalk because you think your other members won’t visit them then. And won’t find out about your frauds. You do let your members cut and paste articles in full without credit though. And how sad it is that your own members are forced to refer to YNWA.tv as “the song site”. Sad, jealous, frightened of the competition.)

The reports linking Chelsea with Dirk Kuyt were – in my opinion – instigated by Chelsea insiders purely because of our interest in the player. I don’t believe for one minute that they’ve been in for him and I also don’t believe it’s Feyenoord trying it on. (No Duncan, those stories were made up by a Sun reporter. And republished from The Sun by one Liverpool website only. The Sun supporting Koptalk.com.)

If we thought for one minute that Chelsea were genuinely in, we’d pull out and Feyenoord would potentially lose a lot of money. I don’t think they’re that stupid and I don’t think they need to try any underhand tactics. (Now that’s a classic piece of Duncan Oldham comedy.)

Liverpool Football Club has never been concerned about other clubs. Dedicating so much time talking about your rivals is flattering – it’s the highest compliment you can receive – which is why Liverpool are quite content to lap it up.

Total professionalism is ignoring what Mourinho or anyone else has to say. When you’ve achieved everything in the game, nobody else matters.  (Pity you can’t ignore us then isn’t it Oldham? You can’t resist trying to send a message to us. Your lack of intelligence prevents you from seeing that you’re getting your members asking questions. But you do know best don’t you?)

Koptalk.coN – a site on its way down.

Oldham: Koptalk Gold Club will stay dodgy

A pity that Dunk’s decision to carry on trying to make himself more money from other people’s work in providing links to football match streams saw the main person who provided them deciding to leave Koptalk. (Or at least see to it that his information leaves Koptalk). Or is it a pity? I certainly had no intention of mentioning the streams in any detail until he put his advertisement-loaded article onto the increasingly dubious News Now service. The links were very much what you’ll find all over the internet, mainly on free forums. Dunk provided a user with moderator access. The user provided the latest links and a link to his own password protected site. This was all contained in a forum which Dunk provided for that user.

It was a way of Duncan Oldham earning more £30 subscriptions, pure and simple. Can Duncan Oldham justify it in any other way? Why is this information only provided to the “Gold Club” members? Are those from the “Insider” section so bad? Is that what the reason is? Or is it because the “Gold Club” members have to pay more for it?

Most (not all) readers of this blog know why I decided to briefly mention the streams. I didn’t publish the links this time, or the password to the other site, or even the URL of the other site. If Dunk stops trying to plug the Gold Club by mentioning these streams then I will probably stop mentioning the fact they are there. But Dunk likes to tell us all that he knows best. So the streaming information will no doubt stay, and so will our coverage of it.

Reading the comments on here yesterday someone offered to show how the information is all freely available elsewhere. Free as in no charge. I’ve no doubt that some aspects of streaming football matches are illegal, and others are untested in court and may not therefore be illegal. If the stuff is legal then I am doing no harm be reproducing whatever information Duncan Oldham’s site provides. I am providing it free. If it turns out to be illegal then it does a service to those that deal with such things. If it turns out to be legal then all I’m doing is stopping the Sun-supporting website owner from making more money out of unsuspecting Reds.

And they call themselves Liverpool fans….

I wouldn’t worry about it mate.. you can count your true pals on one hand.

Half of the loons out there are just kids.

I can’t wait for the season to get underway. Look after number one if I was you.

(It cuts me deep to be called a kid by big Dunk, I may have to stop the blog soon if he carries on calling me names. Liverpool fans don’t generally buy the Sun Duncan, so be careful what you say.)

so these so called Liverpool fans (i’m assuming), but from a different website, are hassling another Liverpool fan from another Website, and their jealousy and bitterness has brought them to a level that wants to make other fans lose out on being able to watch games so they can what… prove a [oops] point. (Liverpool fans yes, altough from more of a blog than a website. Not jealous, not bitter, not making anyone lose out – you just need to get the info in a slightly different way. We’ve not done anything to stop the actual streams.)

[oops] me, and i thought Liverpool fans were great. Stories like this doesn’t surprise me as to why some people actually hate us. Squabbling amongst ourselves, and i bet on match day, them w**kers are the ones who are sitting next to us Koptalkers celebrating everytime we score. (Put it this way kenny_lfc, when you know the whole truth about Dunk I bet you’ll not call him a true Liverpool fan any more)

[oops] disgrace, and i’m sorry to hear this Red_Al. Thanks for all your text commentry when i was in the chat room, and good luck for the future. (Don’t worry, I’m sure Red_Al’s info will still be available, just not lining Dunk’s pockets in the process).

Not by me on Koptalk. As Dunk says its time for me to look after myself. My name has now been dragged into all this and I want nothing more to do with it on Koptalk. I will however help people in my own way privately. I just need a bit of time to get things together. (I doubt Dunk meant for Al to look after just Al, I think he meant for you to look after him as well. Koptalk is a site that most Reds wouldn’t want to be associated with, full stop. Most decent Reds who’ve been members of Koptalk and found out about Duncan have moved on. Those that are left don’t know the truth about Koptalk, or are trying to ignore the theft from members and support of The Sun. And the key thing to note here is this – nobody taking the streams away here, they just won’t be linked to on Koptalk by Red_Al.)

i really thought that they put pressure more on paysites. so whats the worst that could happen with all the other free sites which provide streams? just wanted to know as as i know other sites which are free which give stream links.

They are closing everyone down mate. The market place is bare. I used to have a massive list. It’s rapidly diminishing. However if people are happy with that then fine. I know who to trust and who not to.

Did you know if I created a site and it was officially a search engine I could post what I wanted. That is why this is all rubbish.  (Al seems to know a lot about the legal situation. I don’t know what his background is for sure but I’d be interested if any readers know if he’s correct with what he says about the legalities of all this. If he is correct then there’s not much harm in me posting the information on here from the Gold Club – the only harm is the pocket of The Sun’s biggest “Liverpool Supporter”.)

Watch out for a new alias appearing, Dunk thinks it’s OK to have his users discussing such things, he says it gets him off the hook. The Informing Wallet may be the new one to listen out to.)

I have spoken to the big cheese at several places and they have made it clear how things must be worded. When they threaten me I always ask them to take me to court for the publicity.

Having a dedicated site helping people will get nuked but the authorities can’t stop fans exchanging info between themselves.  (Is the “big cheese” more important than “the suits”? Several places? I wonder if Dunk’s got some publicity to look forward to then? Who can tell what’s going on behind the scenes? And there’s his line about how people can’t stop fans exchanging info between themselves – I think you’ll find that if a site owner fails to stop his members from carrying out illegal activities he stands to get some trouble too. Saying that though, Dunk does know best.)

thanks for the reply mate i probably no just one site which has totally ignored netresult + hopefully they’ll stick it out as they actually post the links aswell. well ive had a site going aswell which netresult put pressure on + my host pulled the plug on it. ive restarted with a new one a couple of months ago + they havent said anything to me since but im getting worried about it. (As I said earlier, there are loads of sites offering this information, but I doubt any of them charge 30 quid for it.)

We’ll get the info in here indirectly… Dunk knows best

Grass, grass, grass… you’re just a sad Billy no mates  (Oh no. More name-calling. I’ll have to stop the blog now, it’s just getting too much. And it wasn’t me that “grassed” if you read the blog more carefully. Bullies always love accusing others of being “grasses” don’t they? They bully someone else and try to belittle the victim if they tell anyone by calling them a grass. If you think about this though Dunk, you getting the info onto the Gold Club indirectly – does that mean the blog won’t be able to get that same info? Have you got a special forum for non-bloggers too? Shucks, hadn’t thought of that, after all it says it clearly in the profiles of all the insider insiders that they are working for the good of the blog! Actually, sarcasm apart, I’ll say it more clearly. If the information is on your site (directly or indirectly), and you use that fact to plug your 30 quid service, we’ll mention it on here. If I don’t get the info I’m sure someone will.)

- – - – - -

And the plugs go on – here’s what Duncan Oldham is claiming on his Koptallocks.info site still, even after the departure of Red_Al -

http://www.koptalk. info/goldclub.shtml

Secret *links to FREE online live video footage of LFC games when available (99% of games covered in 2005-06)

* KopTalk does not have an archive of any video or audio footage nor do we stream games. Members can assist in helping you watch the Reds live online. Links to video clips of LFC goals, interviews etc are provided by members when available. As a member if you discover anything that breaches copyright, please report this to us and we will see such content is removed. During the 2005-06 season 99% of Liverpool’s games were shown live via the web for free. Receiving such transmissions online may breach copyright, KopTalk does not condone this. KopTalk does not provide any form of software that will allow you to watch or download any kind of LFC video content. If you want to follow Liverpool to the max, a Gold Club sub will help you achieve this.

It’s a poor disclaimer (still), which I’ve been told doesn’t get him off the hook, despite what his big cheesy friends have told him.

He’s plugging it. He’s making money by promoting the fact this information is available on his website. If it isn’t, then surely he can be forced to give refunds to members by Trading Standards. Please contact the Trading Standards department in Newcastle if you feel you’ve been mis-sold the Koptalk Insider or Gold Club products.

http://www.koptalk .info/memberoptions.shtml

*Links to downloadable LFC matches (full 90 mins)
*Links to free online LIVE video coverage
*Links to video clips of LFC goals within mins of FT

The line “If you want to follow Liverpool to the max, a Gold Club sub will help you achieve this” seems to contradict  “Receiving such transmissions online may breach copyright, KopTalk does not condone this“. In fact it’s quite possibly the funniest bit of disclaimer nonsense you’ll read on the net anytime soon.

Look at some of the other things you get from the Gold and Insider clubs.

Free LFC Email Account      (Would you trust Duncan Oldham to look after your personal email? I wouldn’t, I’d be concerned that he’d use his administrator access to pry into my emails. So the email address would be pretty useless.)

Exclusive LFC news reports (Insider access)     (I can safely say this line should now be removed from the sales page – anyone think otherwise?)

Insider Community access (Very popular)     (Popular? Not really nowadays though is it?)

*Links to downloadable LFC matches (full 90 mins)  (Illegal? Yes. Very. And depriving LFC of income too some would say. Links will also appear on this blog if he carries on with this.)

*Links to free online LIVE video coverage (That’s what we’ve already mentioned.)

*Links to video clips of LFC goals within mins of FT (Same as full 90 mins – shouldn’t be there, if they are we’ll put them here too to prove that he’s doing this.)

Ed’s Email Inbox     (Actually, a place for Dunk to put some more made up stuff. You don’t actually get to see the hundreds of complaints he gets from former members)  

KopTalk Diary     (I thought he had a blog now?)

Can browse photo galleries

Can upload to photo galleries

Can create own photo gallery     (Other LFC sites have photo galleries, and they don’t charge for them either.)

Unlimited access to on-site Games Arcade     (Games are of the type you see all around the net and if I get time I’ll post the links to his versions – you don’t actually have to be a member to play the games themselves, all are available to anyone, member or not.)

Media articles – Match previews – Match reports     (All ripped off from other sites)  

*Help with match-day tickets      (No doubt some members help – Dunk will charge over the odds for any he gets for you)  

Exclusive Competitions (PSP’s, XBOX 360’s, MP3 players)     (We’ve mentioned before how this is another scam)

Weekly Lotto Syndicate (£100+ a month!)     (Has only bought tickets once as far as we can tell. £25 quid’s worth one week.)

Weekly Football Pools Syndicate     (Nope, still no proof he actually does this.)

Weekly Football Millionaire Syndicate     (Proof? Of course not.)

Teletext Teasers Request Service     (One of the many justifications for this blog is that if he thinks it’s OK to provide this service of revealing their information, it’s OK for us to divulge the crap he spouts as insider info on his own site).  

Priority email support     (No – you have to raise a support ticket, use MSN, or call a mobile.)

Direct SMS and Tel contact with KopTalk Editor     (Now that a teenager has been named “editor” I suppose this is true – but Steve’s not really got any editorial control over the site.)

Match ticket give-aways    (Has this ever really happened? How long since it did?)

The Chamber (Anfield Mole)     (One of Dunk’s aliases, no longer on the Gold Club.)

The Ed Files     (His paper copies of your personal information?)

Every major Rick Parry quote     (This used to be the full column from Rick Parry from the official LFC magazine, reproduced without any permission. He’s now got two quotes in there from the papers and seems to have stopped using the LFC magazine columns in their entirety).

Every major Rafael Benitez quote     (None actually. All deleted recently as part of Dunk’s evidence-hiding).  

25% of all LFC merchandise we advertise     (My favourite. First of all, if this is 25% OF all the merchandise, doest that not pose a problem? Assuming there are more than four members, those 25%s will all be used up quite soon. Or does he not mean OF after all? If he means OFF then this means 25% off codes should be clearly visible on the Gold Club for money off at Kitbag, where he’s currently linking to in his adverts for Liverpool FC shirts. I’ve seen none, meaning this is ANOTHER false claim)

So come on Dunk, put those last few pages of your work on your book to one side for an afternoon, and correct your website. Otherwise you’ll need to refund all of your members. (I’ll give you that bit of advice free).

Dunk’s ‘Liverpool’ Number

After Insider Insider’s post, I thought I’d do a little digging. I live in Liverpool myself and have never seen the prefix of 0151 601. Perhaps it’s somewhere over the water, I thought? Maybe Birkenhead?

Wrooong… Take a look at this page:

http://www.esms.com/services_numbers_pure_geographic.php

Yup, you guessed it… fat arse has bought a redirect number that looks like it’s based in Liverpool. In actual fact, this number connects straight through to Koptalk HQ in Newcastle!

In the words of this site:

‘We can offer any UK Geographic Prefix (area / STD code) to enable you to be associated with any town or city of your choosing. The pricing and operation is identical for all.’

Bingo! Fatty thought ‘I’ll be associated with the town or city of my choosing, good old Liverpool’.

In the next couple of days, I’ll be leaving a couple of messages for Oldham on his redirect number. I hope you all do, too. I think it’s best to include the words ‘fat arse’, ‘conman’ and ‘Where’s my book?’.

To conclude, Fat Arse has NOT moved to Liverpool. He never will. Think of how long it would take to travel to Newcastle each week to watch the game.
EDIT: ‘An observer’ spotted this too. Unfortunately, I didn’t read the comments in the last post. Thanks for that, keep your observations rolling in.

Phone your views in to the shed

Some people in “real life” just don’t realise how important this blog writing is. So I had to devote most of yesterday to the “real life” stuff. As I usually spend most of my days working on a computer, not overlooked by anyone, it’s easy enough to find ten minutes here and there to work on the blog. Yesterday wasn’t for some reason.  I’ve barely touched my emails either, apart from a couple of more interesting ones that I’ll talk about another day all being well. And well in the future too. At the risk of sounding like our main subject of conversation though I’ll not start promising “more news in May. I mean July. I mean September…”

He does that with his book too. And his move to Melwood will be next – put off a month at a time in the hope we all forget he ever said it. You’ll find a crap attempt at pretending he’s already moved in this plug for his podcast.

PODCAST: Monday 31st July – now online
#1581375 – Mon Jul 31 2006 09:46 PM          Reply      Quote

Monday’s (31st July) podcast is now available to download.

Today we look at anything and everything that’s in the news relating to LFC i.e. transfers, injuries, the stadium etc etc etc. We also take a look back over the weekend.

Providing there’s something LFC related to talk about, then we cover it. New podcasts are available most days of the week.

To download the latest podcast, right-click on HERE and save.

If you don’t want to download the podcast, you can play it in our your browser by using the following controls. However, if you browse away from this page it will stop playing. Our podcasts are also available via iTunes.

To send us comments and questions about LFC, or requests for a mention, just email podcast@koptalk.com

You can also call us and leave a message on our 24 Hour Podcast Hotline. (HOTLINE! )

Your message will be broadcast – providing it’s sensible – on our next show. (Damn it – I suppose my messages won’t get on then).

Please note that you MUST leave your name or forum alias and location when leaving a message. Anyone that doesn’t, won’t have their voice mail played on the podcast. (Hey Tom and the rest of you – why not leave your forum alias and location with a message?)

You’ll be wasting your time if you leave any sales, support or stupid messages as they are filtered before they are even passed on to KOPTALK HQ – this mean no member of the KOPTALK team will hear them. (No, it means fatty will sit there with smoke coming out of his ears as he listens to the message himself before deleting it. He’d rather not have to listen to any “sales, support or stupid messages” but he knows pretty well that he’s got every chance of having to).

UK Tel: 0151 601 2188 (24HRS)  (Gosh Duncan – have you moved to Liverpool already?)

Overseas Tel: +44 151 601 2188 (24HRS) (Wow, even a fax machine. Same number too)

Normal landline charges apply i.e. Liverpool callers will pay a local call charge. (I may be wrong here, but didn’t the phone companies get rid of local call rates? So even Dunk can ring from his own 0191 number and pay the same rate as those who actually live in Liverpool.)

Please note that our updates are not politically correct and they contain language that you may hear at football stadiums all over the world. (That made me laugh because I have visions of him speaking German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and so on to include that language from all of the world’s football stadia.)

Dunk genuinely thinks his podcasts are great. Some of our blog “moles” have even paid him compliments, and Dunk being Dunk he believes them. So when he hears anyone take the mickey out of him, he gets touchy. See -

Did you miss the wink?

I think it did touch a nerve, and his “thousands” line is getting funnier every time he says it. My estimate is 40 listeners, 30 of those are probably regular readers of this blog. Another five are his family, who are forced to listen. That leaves five who probably wonder with every word just why they still visit Koptalk.

Still, at least Steve’s ready to listen to those calls the the Liverpool phone number, sitting in the Koptalk shed in Wallsend. And here’s Dunk to tell us all about it. Followed by some “feedback”, none of which was deleted when I last looked, suggesting Duncan’s not too sure whether it’s serious or not.
