Louis Tomlinson ??

Anyone got a link to the social media pages where this wailing and gnashing of teeth has been going on.

I want to pass on my condolences to the anguished masses who have been so brutally violated by this obscenity.

f**k me, when do the Euros start?

Look on the bright side, Billy. At least the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth about "investment" will be taking a back seat for a couple of days.

Behave BST, we all know you don't really exist outside of this forum.

At least it's the first time we've been linked or compared with North Korea.
How stupid is that statement.

We certainly don't have their firepower!

I'M pretty sure there's a legal stand point to it so if the club have fixed it they'll be in bother...

Read my earlier posts. The club were very careful to comply with competition rules throughout the whole process.

At least one person at the club must have known LT entered. Whether that same person then chose the short-listed designs I am honestly not sure at this stage. But that wouldn't indicate any wrong doing (in a technical sense, not based on the principle of whether LT should have been included or not) as that was how the competition was set-up.

As long as the actual vote wasn't rigged there is no issue surely?

[IDM]

I entered, got shortlisted (the violet one) and didn't win.

As far as I am concerned, my design was voted out.  So what if LT has won?  Where's the proof that it was a fix??

If anyone has any reason to gripe about the winner it is me and the 3 others. 

I don't give a toss - there are real world problems to deal with!  So that's potentially only 3 folks who may have a problem.

From a legal stand point there is no issue but as a matter of principle people might raise objections.

Spot on. Not a fan of One Direction or the whole idea of design your own kit as given the final shortlist, for the away shirts, my preference was none of them.

However, as I recall most people on here felt that the LT design was the best of a bad bunch. We change kits every year so neither the home which I don't like either ( apologies Copps) or the away will get much of an airing. LT isn't going to take the prize so why all the fuss?

Time and energy wasted entering a competition you could never win. Hopes and dreams dashed. Frustrated that you appear to care more than those in charge. Not dissimilar to following us for 40 years.

Think the fans quoted in the press saying it was rigged are lucky our owners are not the Oystens of Blackpool.

[steve@dcfd]

Wish we could rig stopping in league 1. It's a shirt get over it please, it won't be the first time the club as use publicity to sell something. Some people will buy it some won't. Even less will if we get relegated.

[Lipsy]

So the story has been twisted and subverted by TalkSport. This gets better and better...

[RedJ]

Ah, if anyone can blow something out of all proportion it's TalkSport.

And the Sun, of course.

[Copps is Magic]

Just a shame for me personally that some people are lumping the home kit in with the away. Not been an enjoyable experience for me at all.

[Lipsy]

Mercifully, the moment they were set straight and realised that the club's "wrong-doings" amounted to speculation they got bored and moved on.

Storm in a 1D cup, etc.

bas**rd. How dare you win something you've entered.

Balls to that. I would be chuffed if I had designed the kit. You won fair and square - enjoy it!

[Yorkiered]

and now it has just been on local BBC lunchtime news. No doubt it will now get an airing on Look North tonight.

[wesisback]

They say there's no such thing as bad publicity......

[Dare to dream!]

Embarrassing

[Filo]

I wonder which Sun journalist latched on to it?

[Lipsy]

All told, those away kit options were pretty shocking...

Point it out to Sad-Rovers, it's him being quoted.

I'm not surprised. Tales of human suffering and misery need to be publicised.

I wonder if Look North have tracked down the hordes of poor destroyed souls who "bombarded" social media with their tales of woe yesterday?

Nowt much going on the world today, then: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-35966906

[bobbymax]

Lets guess, is this in the Sun newspaper?

In my experience, a word of truth appearing in an article in The Sun was there purely by accident.

Good luck to LT, he's still obviously a Rovers fan and if the club get some publicity and sales out his involvement in the competition all well and good!

Can't see how the competition was rigged any more than Copps' win in the other section but I suppose the conspiracy theorists and just plain vindictive will be seeing plots everywhere right now.

At last! We find out who the destroyed lives are.

Good to see that the spirit of crusading journalism, looking after the downtrodden and the weak, is alive and well...
