"They describe him (Mitchell) as a good 'sniffer'...."
Not as good as the dogs though.

Wow. I hope nobody's life is in danger if you know what l mean.
I don't get the second paragraph, who are the primitive natives? And the local shrines?
Maybe it won't be long until a conclusion then.

Why do people hang on to this Blacksmith person's every word. Does he/she know loads more than the rest of us.

It's all just metophors.
The primitive natives are the pro's and the shrines are their fora.
As for hanging on his every word. He's one of the more intelligent commentators, and clearly has inside knowledge and contacts within the media. That's what makes his posts so interesting (even if sometimes his sense of humour is hard for some to take)

Re: Blacksmith
In this instance I don't think he's pretending to know more than anybody else - he's just having a joke. It's an extended parody about rats leaving the sinking ship because Clarence Mitchell was the PR spokesman for Costa Cruises when the Costa Concordia famously sank. In this instance, the "ship" is presented as the McCann case, the primitive natives (as wantthetruth said) are their supporters and Mitchell who is "a good sniffer", "shy unless cornered", "a whisker away from being hated", "a good swimmer" appears to be being cast in the role of the rat swimming away from the sinking hulk.MaryB wrote:Why do people hang on to this Blacksmith person's every word.

Re: Blacksmith
I just wish that at times he would not degenerate to a level of vulgarity that muratfan would be proud to lay claim to.
He is obviously very witty and observant but it's hard for me to give him any respect.

It's a clever post l think, l love the comparisons to the costa case.
Mary, l wouldn't say l hang onto his every word, some posts are hard to understand but l do think he knows a lot more than l do.

Re: Blacksmith
...... with a "chilling sound of popping rivets".
Mahvellous.
And if I may be allowed to extend the metaphor - surely the internet truth seekers could be likened to barnacles on the flagship's bottom. Six years' worth, clinging on to it for dear life. That's a whole lot of barnacles.
Large numbers of them have, over time, slowed down the ship by adding weight and buggering up its once-smooth hull.
If only some crew member on HMSTroutbridge Rothley had found an effective abrading device and scraped 'em all off ...
Pesky little critters, those barnacles ......

Re: Blacksmith
(My emoticons, wonder if there's something going on tonight then, but then he says it's half time?? It'll all come out in the wash l suppose )
Ahead of the crunch game against CPS Wanderers legend Joe Kinnear (seen in typical pose above), who claims to have taken over the stricken Liverpool Searchers, gives press conference. Kinnear appeared unsteady on his feet and unsure where he was. No change there then.
Background
Searchers were accused of match fixing in Portugal in 2007, details of which are still emerging and threaten to swamp the remnants of a once powerful club. Inquiries revealed envelopes full of cash delivered to ground and a rogue "fund" buying property for the owners and paying out vast sums to security men and crooks. Club blamed match referee and accused him of being a "criminal" before being booed out of Portugal.Legal inquiries and litigation have bled the club dry. Owners of holding company now known as Team McCan't, are in hiding and have not spoken publicly for months. Previous manager believed to be suffering from Weil's disease.
Who is Joe Kinnear?
Famously foul-mouthed football "manager" whose gaffes are all over the internet
Thinks IQ is where you buy your kitchen cupboards
Called French midfielder Cabaye Joe Kekab in error-strewn BBC interview
Says he's cleverer than anyone in the northeast
Reeks of booze
Verbal blunders attributed to surgeon's error in 2011 when brain bypassed instead of heart
What about the team, Joe?
What about the ******* team? Time for change. They talked a good ******* game and achieved **** all. Time to bring back proper football. I'm putting Dave Edgar in goal. Strong character, best keeper in the land. Look at those ****** hands! I've grilled Kebabs about where he wants to play but he's ****** sulking. Tanner's got to go. Mathew's no better, I said to him, was it an open goal or ****** not? He won't say f*** a**.
Transfer news?
There's no ******* money left.
Joe, why won't your owners communicate anymore? Why won't they talk to anyone?
Because you lot have turned on them, that's why. Like me, they just can't be arsed.
What about the Portuguese FA?
F****** Amaral, you mean? He's bent.
Come on Joe, you don't really believe that do you? You fielded only nine players in the Portugal game, five of them were women and two of them were blind. Your team mascot disappeared and has never been seen since. And after the game three million quid appears in your accounts. That's not the ref's fault is it?
He was biased and probably taking backhanders. Listen that team was better than you think. They could do seventy yards in about three seconds.
Then why were they always in the bar?
I'm here to talk football
Last known appearance: mystery owners seen applauding latest defeat
What do you think went wrong?
I blame the scouting system. Six ****** years and it's produced nobody.
What about tonight's game? Lose that one and it's the drop, isn't it?
CPS Wanderers are all p*** and wind. We're fitter than them, they don't travel well and they're a ******* girlie team.
Your fans seem terrified of them, though. They're on twitter all day saying there's nothing to be worried about. And the supporters' forums seem to be hysterical.
When we start winning they'll come back.
Joe, the team has been bottom of the Fair Play league for five years. Does that matter?
No.
Clarence Mitchell is said to be ill.
Yep. They say it's a vile disease.
Will he ever come back?
[laughs] Not if I turn off his ******* drip he won't.
Latest: CPS Wanderers 3 Liverpool Searchers 0
It's half time and here's BBC Radio 5 first half summary:
"Wanderers played a patient game, retaining the ball and gradually building more and more dangerous positions. Searchers were dire. Seemed to be scared of the opposition and its slick passing. Tanner and Oldfield played in blinkers, Edgar was clumsiness and futility personified. Payne, the captain, who'd gone missing near the showers for thirty minutes before the kick-off, was unable to get his players to sing from the same team sheet.
Heads dropped. Only the blameless Webster performed. Payne was subjected to constant obscene chanting from a section of the crowd. Kinnear prowled the technical area muttering about "****** chickens with their ******* heads cut off." The few loyal supporters left wept and held purple placards up saying "WE WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE".

Re: Blacksmith
Coldwater used to pretend to have 'insider knowledge'.
It must be a very insecure and inadequate individual who seeks some kind of lust for power whilst imbibing himself with alcohol on the other side of a keyboard.
Copious misleading and meandering articles could be summed up in but a few words....
"One day the mccanns might get arrested,or they might not !"
Maybe he should quote a source for his nextpredictions guess's.
I don't think he'll ever make cult status,but it helps to pass the time i suppose.

Well by guessing I suppose a person could be right half the time. Bit like those fortune tellers. I see somebody whose name begins with J or is that M. or is it S. They will get it right eventually. Not saying that's the case.

Re: Blacksmith
And the referee blows the whistle to get the second half underway and immediately its team mcscum on the attack with their new signing Randy Deadwood running rings around the hapless defence.
And whats this Maddie United defender Julian Ustice has been kicked in the teeth,the referee has completely ignored claims of a foul ! And given a free kick to the mcscums.
J.Ustice has been carried off and Maddie United are down to ten men.
Deadwood shapes up to take the free kick this is in a dangerous position ,he shoots,he scores..........
Some people are on the pitch.....They think its all over !......
It is now.
