Hmm haven't heard anything regarding that! Have heard some other rumours though.......

What have you heard?!

 

[MK Shrimper]

Nothing that can be published on here!

 

[ESG]

It is fairly common knowledge now

So why not say?

So why not say?

Do you have any idea how expensive trying to defend a libel claim is?

I think I remember on Top Gear that Clarkson punched someone some time ago then got sacked. I imagine in a parallel world the opposite would have happened and Clarkson would have got punched instead, maybe even more?

There have been many different versions of 'common knowledge' banded about and, as MK says, none of it will be published on here to protect SZ from a potential libel case. So if anyone has news of Timlin's injury progress, bring it on.

Didnt brown say last week he would be out for a further 10 days or so?

Aah! I see what you did there. Good, very good.

Yep there are problems, I'm almost sure of that ( but this LeeBlue thinks he has deep connections with the players and the the board... and says it's not true. The relationship between PB and the players is fine, he says) a lot of problems between PB and players.

Can I just say that I don't know anything.
Fact or rumour.

Nothing new there Danny boy, (same for me)

I'm probably setting myself for a slap here, but isn't libel all about stating a falsehood as fact?

There is certainly a lot of smoke swirling around here for it to be highly likely that "something" Timlin-related has happened.

If someone simply reports what he has heard, caveated to the heavens, does that still raise the risk of a potential libel claim? Especially if "something" has actually happened, which would surely deter a libel suit?

I remember one of the anti-Brown fundamentalists recently made a statement along the lines "Brown is trying to get the sack/get us relegated". Can't be arrrsed to check if it was caveated in any way, but recollect it was just a bald statement. Is that not potentially libellous in a similar way?

I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't know what he's talking about! Relationship between manager and elements of both his backroom staff and his playing squad are not good at all.

We could do with the Timlin of 2014/15 back though.

Truth is an absolute defence to a Libel action, but it's still expensive to defend. But equally expensive to claim, especially if you lose.to

And there's no point in claiming against people or organisations seen as being "of straw", i.e. nothing significant to pay damages from.

Yes agreed. So in reality is there really much risk of libel in this scenario? Or does it just give certain people an opportunity to play the "I know something you don't" card again?

 

[undercovershrimper]

Yes truth is a defence, but does anyone on here actually know what happened. In order to use the truth argument, you would have had to have witnessed the alleged incident. I doubt any member/guest on SZ would have witnessed said incident if it in fact happened which it may or may not have done, so publishing said rumour on an open forum, is a potential disaster for a site we all love so please do not post what is only a rumour which is probably not true in anycase on this forum
