As if we don't look tinpot enough right now. Why not just have a word with the lad, get him to delete the tweets, and say no more about it? Why draw unnecessary attention by lying about it when it's obvious that you're lying?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Pretty sure it's not a fake, club have mucked it up a bit. Tweets from 2012? Has it been lost in translation or do staff at Bristol city think we were born yesterday? They obviously panicked because he was retweeting stuff *like* "Darrell Clark has fun with dogs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 https://twitter.com/garitasmith Not quite sure what is fake about that? It might be a French fan with some sort of complex but tbh looks fairly genuine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It could easily be seen by 100,000+ people via impressions). Very silly when it only takes 2 minutes to realise it's not a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To state it`s `more lies from the club` is just over-reacting, unnecessary and seizing on anything as a stick to beat BCFC with and suit an agenda.

When he saw people were onto it, Adam B even said he'd try again using Google Translate next time he speaks to him implying he might not even be correct! Surely you'd make sure before putting it out on an official club channel! Would something like that happen at a prem club? Or even Derby, Boro, Brighton..

Taz Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Whilst you can still get porn by going onto the main site..... Yeah Yeah out of the club's control but c'mon. Probably be all over the news in the morning. At least our new signing already realises what a turd Dopey Darryl is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media output is so easy (and cheap) to do well these days and the absolute minimum is done at this club in my opinion. I'm sure they're all top blokes' and great mates with all the players and everything' but it feels like they're coasting.. Things like this don't help my opinion either.

Not even the 'independent' media sources like the Post will ask the questions the fans want answering. Complete silence from the club on any genuine important issues but can't put out lies on Twitter fast enough to try and make a half arsed cover up job of a a silly tweet that no one knew about until they made a half arsed cover up job of.... Just so pathetically amateur. Still, quite fitting in the context of the season I suppose. But that's fine. We're Bristol City and we accept mediocrity.

Hang on let's not blow things out of proportion. Garita may of been asked if he had a twitter account and because of confusion in translation, or panicked because he's young and wasn't meant to announce he's signed yet, said no. Therefore Adam Baker believes this is a fake. It's not necessarily a lie, just confusion. Jeez, cover ups, lies, this isn't a BBC drama! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I sent Garita a message in French on his Instagram (that I'm presuming is real, like I'm presuming with his twitter) saying that he needs to stop retweeting everything because loads of them are offensive and he's gone and unretweeted them. Absolutely no idea if it was because of my message or someone's whispered in his ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lympsham Red Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 The account is most definitely not fake. Either Adam Baker and Arnold Garita got confused in translation or Baker is the worst spin doctor since Alistair Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
