Would love an answer from the club on this soon,rumour has it he is leaving for Halifax??

As i understood it we would be retaining the squad bulk as much as possible to do a Dewsbury type return to the championship next season?

George Raynor--Fair enough,he wanted to leave we know that

Daley Williams--Disciplinary?? HMMMM

Scott Law ?? unless he wanted out what did he do? Fart in the players Bath??

Im getting very peeved with all this,the team is just crumbling away to its bare bones,im very worried. :SNOOT

Since heard this is nothing but a rumour,so hope thats true.

Hi all

Just to let you know that the rumour re Scott Law is just that and we have not been approached by any club regarding any player.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Helen

Makes you wonder how or why these rumours come about to be honest.

Look no further than human nature:

Some people hear snippets of info then put two and two together to make seven.

Some people start rumours just for the fun of seeing how far they go - chinese whispers. I used to know two blokes who would take bets on how long it would take for the rumour to come back to them.

Some start rumours that are close to the truth to get an official reaction.

Some people act out of malice and are just plain s.

Mind you there are also a lot of people who are prepared to spread anything without checking on the truth first

And not knowing that posting things like this on an open internet forum is technically libel.

Well, whatever, I hope Scott stays. Reliable in the tackle, never-say-die, (some dodgy offloads though!)

No it isn't. Posting things that...(in a nutshell)

a) aren't true &
b) tend towards harming a persons reputation

IS Libel.

I haven't seen anything on the original post that fulfills either criteria.

a) The original post, which is on the Halifax forum BTW, specifically stated Halifax had signed Scott Law from us for an undisclosed fee. We've since had conformation from a Keighley official that this was not true.
b) The rumour was put to bed about 4 hours after being posted so the damage to any reputations was minimal. However, it did queston Scott's loyalty to Keighley by insinuating he'd signed to another club. It did in a roundabout way question our board's integrity when they've committed to keeping the squad together but supposedly sold our player of the year to Fax.

As I said, it's technically libel. Not on a grand devastating scale worthy of high court writs etc. I don't even think was done maliciously, just someone who neglected to check their facts were right before posting it.
