I'm getting results with some of those terms from 2012-13 I've also tried looking for them via Google, and that's turning up nada as well
OK but it's not helpful to just suggest that a mod must have deleted it. Are you talking about the Spurs board because we never delete unless you are attacking another poster. You know this.
The search function is all over the place mate. Looked something up last week and put a date in but was getting random stuff from 2012!
Then either it's still there and you have just not found it. Or your memory is misleading you or you included an attack on another poster. Whatever way, it would be wise to be sure before you post accusations.
If it's there why can't I find it via any search engine? And you can stop throwing out that baseless accusation while you're at it
Can’t even get that. Any search I do won’t run beyond 2021 and was the same in 2020. If I ran a Winks search and posted the results you’d think I’ve only been calling him **** for 8 months. I’m 4 years deep and still going strong!
Given how dead the Mansourite community is on this site, you know full well none of their fans would've come on here to try and shout criticism down (unlike their noisy neighbours) because they can't even muster the enthusiasm to talk about their own team and that's been the case for years, the chances of me insulting anybody are nil, yet you've suggested that's what I did twice So, again, how is it that a couple of posts which quote what Der Spiegel reported about them, including both the figures they were paying themselves to meet FFP and the threats they were making to Infantino if he dared try to make them comply with FFP, have vanished into the ether? It's so oddly specific that it looks suspicious
You need to read my posts again. I gave you 3 reasons as to why it may not be there. These are not accusing you of anything the are merely suggestions as to why your post may not be there. The other reason is that they are there but you cannot see them as we heard from DH & RCL you can't always find them. The only accusation in this exchange is from you accusing one of our mods of deleting your posts for suspicious reasons. You need to withdraw that.
I repeat, it's not just this site's search function that is failing to locate them Google tells me there's no items matching my search results Bing tells me there's no items matching my search results (in other words, I had to use Bing...) Yahoo...anyone remember the URL to get to Yahoo? There is no logical reason why I can go on Google and find posts about players we were being linked with in the summer of 2014, or suggesting Samuel Shashoua might break into our team in 2018, or suggesting that Miroslav Klose be a smart signing on a free back in 2011, or multiple posts across various threads about a certain formation Poch was using at the start of the 2019-20 season, yet a very specific post made in late 2018 (and repeated a few months later, so for the sake of argument let's split the difference and say spring of 2019) turns up no search results at all on this forum or any search engine even though (IIRC) they were made in the Rival Watch thread so should be easily located And that's the part which makes it look so odd: if it were a database snafu when archiving old posts, that'd be a case of "**** happens" and that'd be annoying but make sense - but when this site's search function and Google are saying "You didn't post that, you must have imagined it" that's when things start to look suspicious
Can you give me an idea what you're searching for exactly, as I've not been keeping up with this? What words did you use on your browser search? Nobody's been deleting any posts slagging off City on here, I can assure you. They don't actually go away completely anyway, so I'll still be able to find them if they had been.
Just had a quick browse on Google and I get slightly weird responses for my searches. "Humanbeingincroydon not606 Man City der spiegel" gives very few responses and none from here. Very odd. Even forcing it to include the site name doesn't help. Edit: Just used the site's search function to look for any posts by HBIC using the words "Man City". Everything from the start of his time here (2011) to 2014 is there and recent stuff is, too. About six years of posts don't show up. The same appears to be true for Utd. I expect it's all still there, but the search function is screwed.
The definite ones in there (with a couple of variations, just in case) Khaldoon Al Mubarak Spiegel/Der Spiegel Football Leaks (also tried Footie Leaks) Guardian/Grauniad When Saturday Comes/WSC Infantino Etihad Mangala Also a couple of very specific quotes, namely the one about the 50 most expensive lawyers as well as "We can do what we want" The thing that really baffles me is how the forum's search function suggests I never mentioned Mangala until a week ago, while Google turns up no search options at all, which simply isn't true because a.) I've brought up his dodgy transfer fee a few times b.) He was linked with us a few years ago c.) He lined up against us a few times I've had socks that do a worse job of hiding than this!
Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe. Hmm... Have you tried VPN-ing it?
Not yet, mainly because Norton's VPN murders my computer's speed The data protection thing is odd, since quoting a German newspaper is hardly doxxing anybody
The results seem very strange. I'm not used to searching this site for City, but it doesn't tally with my experience of other clubs. Weird stuff.
