Oldham the Conman

Dunk claims he’s not bothered with this blog or the “haterz” as he calls us. Despite this, every other video on his moanvideo site, and most of his tweets are about us. In fact he talking, tweeting and thinking about us all the time. I can understand why though, as we’ve managed to reduce the number of people he is ripping off by several thousands in the three and a half years the blog has been running. Today he made a tweet with links to three different websites where he’s addressing us. On one of them there is a long speech where he tries to defend himself from some of the issues we’ve brought up on this blog. How does he even know what we say when he claims that de doesn’t read this blog? The truth is, he’s one of our most avid readers. Here’s what he says:

Welcome to the muppet show

You may have seen my comment yesterday about a thread Dunk made, where he attacked a koptalk member, calling him a muppet and gloating about what he (Dunk) thought was a piece of inside information broken on koptalk. Needless to say it’s not, but that’s another story. The thread developed into a discussion about who had left koptalk or not, and Dunk had to close it as he doesn’t like people talking about others leaving. But it was going to come back and haunt him later.

Dunk’s “inside” source revealed

One of the things Dunk does to make it look like he has inside information, is taking news from other websites, add his own spin, and post it as “Koptalk News”.

Today he came up with this:

More fantasies and lies from the spanish based LFC site

A few days ago Dunk posted a video of himself from his new home in Spain, commenting on the ownership situation where he says that “everyones fears should be put to rest”. He claims to have got information from someone “in the know”, but can’t really say anything. He doesn’t have a timescale, but he’ll get to know a lot more this week (or in two weeks, he can’t remember) if he doesn’t post any hints. He then asks his members not to speculate on this, well aware that that’s just what they’ll do. And he needs the debate, as his site is slowly dying.

Moans And Groans As KopTalkers Await An Update

While Dunk slept — sorry, waited to hear confirmation from the Anfield Mole — the few remaining members on KopTalk started to make rather a lot of noise. Where was the update they’d been led to expect? Who was the ‘high profile’ agent Dunk’s contact had revealed would visit Melwood?

They found out in time, but not before they discovered that, while £30 might buy them some made-up exclusives, it certainly doesn’t guarantee free speech. The thread below was locked and two other threads were deleted, though not before we managed to take screenshots. (I’ve trimmed one or two irrelevant posts from the thread below for purposes of readability, but the full exchange can be seen in the screenshot.)

Your Sunday Melwood Agent Bull From KopTalk

You wait an age for Dunk to tear himself away from LiveVideo long enough to concoct some bullshit, then he belches some out twice in a weekend. Having had my fill of the Sunday papers’ weekly quota of rubbish, I logged into KopTalk and found the following gem:

KOPTALK sources inform us that a high-profile football agent is due at Melwood tomorrow afternoon.

It is claimed that the individual currently represents a player who is under contract at an overseas club but this cannot be confirmed at this time.

The identity of the agent or the client(s) he represents isn’t yet known but it will be either later this evening or at the latest tomorrow morning when his name will be added to the expected visitors schedule at the complex.

We’re hoping to be in a position to provide a further update either late this evening (10pm onwards) or when we surface in the morning.

Why do people stay there to have their intelligence insulted that way? How could it be known that the agent is ‘high profile’ or that he represents a player overseas if there’s no clue as to his identity? So far as it goes, that’s standard KopTalk fare: some hyper-vague nonsense that can’t be proven or disproven and offers no detail whatsoever.

Much worse is the nasty little insinuation that Oldham has a source inside Melwood with access to the register of visitors, who will then betray that information for a sleazy liar in Spain to peddle to his paying members. That is an insult to the integrity of staff who work for LFC, but it’s typical of Oldham not to stop and consider the reputations of those he is besmirching.

What could be Oldham’s motivation? Perhaps it’s revealed by one of his less gullible members.

It’s just Dunk playing pin the tail on the donkey again to generate a bit of interest other than the ‘I love the yanks / I hate the Yanks debate’! \:\)

KopTalk Bull Machine Cranks Into Overdrive Over Rafa Rift

Duncan Oldham is both transparent and predictable. He thrives on negativity; it’s always been the raison d’être of KopTalk to create controversy, after all, which is far more easily achieved with bad news than with good. That’s why it was no surprise that, after months of relative inactivity, he has been excelling himself in the last day or two by adding his own brand of bull to the speculation that is already surrounding the Club and the manager.

We’re not here to give opinions on the current situation. Clearly, something is amiss. Genuine fans will hope for a truce; stability and harmony will be the most important things if we’re to do well this season. Genuine fans wouldn’t lie through their teeth and add outrageous untruths to inflame things further. Why would anyone? Unless they have a financial incentive, that is.

Apropos of that, here’s Oldham with the only sort of exclusive his site ever has: one he’s made up himself.
