As with what you’ve been told about his proposed move to Celtic because you’ve heard it direct from him or from someone who heard it direct from him, you’ve taken it as the truth whilst dismissing any other stories on the matter & that’s just as flawed a basis for believing something than mine
i only said that hull wanted him to go to celtic,and he refused,that is the same as the media version of events,so how is my version flawed,i didnt claim to know anything about any contract details, the reason i came into this debate is because YOU made a statement about bullard which had no factual basis and i had been party to bullards own version of events.
On the subject of Jimmy Bullard – I liked him at latics but the way he left always left a sour taste in my mouth. However he has always been able to maintain this “I play football for my love of the game & aint a mercenary like so many other footballers” image.I hope his conduct in the Hull/celtic transfer saga has put that image well & truly to bed.
do you want to clarify what you meant in the hull/celtic saga –
you have made an assumption based on newspaper/message board tickle tackle,when in fact you know nothing.
“I only said that hull wanted him to go to celtic,and he refused,that is the same as the media version of events,so how is my version flawed”
That isn’t the same as some of the media version of events though. Some of the media version of events (in print & online) have him as being more than prepared to go but demanding a large pay increase to do so. Your version of events is that Bullard didn’t want to go, Hull tried to force him to go & he dug his heels in and that “may” be where the pay increase strories have come from. One story has come from someone high up at Hull & another from Bullard himself
“do you want to clarify what you meant in the hull/celtic saga – you have made an assumption based on newspaper/message board tickle tackle,when in fact you know nothing”
Look up “saga” in a thesaurus & it will link it to story, tale, account, chronicle, history & narrative amongst others. That is what I meant. The issue I have now is you appearing to tell anybody who has a view on Bullard’s transfer history over the last 4 years that is different from your own that they “know nothing” because you have heard a different story from a) Bullard himself & b) 2nd hand from someone that knows Bullard
The views I hold on Jimmy Bullard are not purely based on “newspaper/message board tickle tackle” nor do they have “no factual basis” purely coz I didn’t hear them directly from Jimmy Bullard. There views I hold having listened to people like yourself with “this is what really happened” versions of events, club statements, newspaper accounts, internet gossip, messageboard postings etc.. & having done so I’ve formed an opinion which I’m as free to express as the next person
As for this opinion having “no factual basis” – if a historical study uses merely one piece of evidence as the basis for its findings whilst another looks at a wide variety of sources & different types of evidence as the basis for its findings on the same subject, I know which study’s findings I’d consider the most valid
Handbags time in the dark corner
At least it’s a proper argument, with the word argument used in its purest sense.
It’s all very grown-up; not a ‘nob’ insult in sight – yet :)
I think the fact that Jimmy was willing to go to a club like Hull on £45k per week, reputedly rising to £60k per week on appearances, gives an insight into his attitude in these matters.

I think he forgets where he come from, sometimes.
I’m glad he’s not our player anymore, put it that way. Another interesting twist to this story, is I have heard that he has managed to actually pi** a good many players off from a certain Scottish Premier team, with his boistrous antics in a club. If he goes to Celtic, he’ll get snapped in a couple of games ;)
Edited for discretion.
