    Only other time I remember him posting anything “ITK” was when he bumped into Jobe and Jude Bellingham in Spain, whilst we were linked to Jobe, and had a conversation with them about where Jobe should live in Sunderland.

    Hard one this, if you dispute the timings etc and what he says he saw with his own eyes we are calling the fella a liar. Now I don’t know the bloke from Adam but why would someone actually do this?

    Not a chance @malagamackem is making this up.
    If he says he seen Xhaka at an airport, he seen him.

    Not saying anything more, but I trust him 100%.

    I’m questioning his integrity because I am sceptical? I’ve never ever seen the poster until today from what I can remember. It’s really not that deep

    Does anyone know what the timings of Xhaka have been recently ...

    ... or is it all guesswork.

    Seriously I'd be interested to know if anyone has that information.

    Why would you be sceptical, what's he done to be doubted.

    If you're sceptical of him you're also doubting those people vouching for him.

    Fair enough, it just seems like people would rather believe internet fantasists than decent people known to dozens on here.

    That's your perogative to be skeptical, unless you were present in the moment in question it doesn't mean he's wrong

    [
    Zurich is only 1 hour from Basel by train and is a bigger airport with more destinations (especially outside of Europe) . So going to Zurich for a flight from Basel is definitely not unusual

    Now I haven't followed what's been said, but I do remember Málaga saying he didn't want to say who he saw because it will come back to bite him. It seems like he finally did say who it was as people were insisting he should do. Now, if I'm not wrong, people are now saying he's making it up ?

    It's a bit sad if that's the case. People will stop sharing information/rumours if they get stick for doing so .

    Pretty sure he didn't say the xhaka was in an airport but didn't say where he was going. Or xhaka didn't say

    Don’t think anybody’s said he’s wrong. Just that they’re sceptical.

    Fine if they're sceptical, then why does it seem that he's getting pelters for posting what he says he's seen?

    Through previous employment, I'm the suspicious type and I can normally spot a Walter Mitty a mile off, but having met Malaga and his good lady, I can confirm that he came across to me as a straight talking bloke, not a bullshitter and certainly not the type to try to hoodwink anyone.

    I haven't seen anything from his posting on here to suggest otherwise.

    He wasn’t. People have come in defending him against people being sceptical. The back and forth then makes it look like people have piled on him.

    The guy can post what he wants and it’s plausible and there’s no reason to think he’s lying, I mean why would he? But that doesn’t mean everyone has to believe him.

    Doing good thanks mate ...

    ... I was away early tomorrow but my boss has offered me a lift so I'll be in Edinburgh around 10am.

    Should be great fun, a dozen people picking up tickets, a few I've not seen for a while and a pre-arranged punch up with Boro.

    Football's back <cheers>

    No one said they had to, no matter how many times you keep saying it.

    I think the pile on is the other ****ing way around haha

    What is this whole “believing internet fantasists” about anyway

    What is the relevance of this?

    anyway it’s really not that deep, so ****ing strange on here sometimes. As if we aren’t used to seeing a load of people make **** up on forums before. I’ve never known the poster or seen him before and the story didn’t add up to me

    that’s literally it. If he’s a sound guy and you all would believe him then fair enough, I’ve never met the bloke I just know a lot of people make up ITK ****e on these places often. I’m sorry I don’t know him
