Belgrade with sportsfirst eu

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

I would suggest that if these trips are successful, this posting/forum will actually have boosted Sportfirst's business, not damaged it.

Don't know if you have heard mate but about 700 hotels have started legal proceedings against trip advisor because people have posted negative reviews which have harmed the reputation of those hotels.


Sorry to hear about your friend's mom
That's interesting - do you have a link to that story?
Do you know of "google" you lazy crunt? :-P :wink:

Have looked on tripadvisor before, and always taken it with a pinch of salt. I just always assumed that there may be someone with a grudge, a rival or someone who is over-sensitive or purposely malicious.

Interesting to see what happens

looks like as usual i was right

christie came up trumps so it would appear.

yes he will get some business out of this and deservedly so.

he did not ask for offending posts to be removed cos he was confident he could deliver

the trip advisor story goes some way to prove my point.

defamation is defamation. there are no special rules for forums

those who stated his company was scam should be quick to post unreserved apoogy.

those who doubted me should do likewise but wont.

just remember i am always right which is why anyone using this forum should always use my services for legal advice because unlike vast majority of posters i know what i am talking about -always

I do use tripadvisor but like others have said with a pinch of salt. I checked out a review of a 4* hotel I was going to be staying in this summer and the reviews were pretty bad saying it was more like a 1*. When I got there it was absolutely fine. I guess one persons bad experience might not be somebody elses.

Fair play to the guy for the offer he made but having read goonerchief's report on his experience using the company (on the main page), there seemed far too much need for exchanges of e-mail and follow-up phone calls for my liking. Just my personal opinion. Still, if goonerchief was happy and Christie gets extra business from the experience, good luck to them.

Oh - nice plug for yourself as well, eh Roly? :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink:

By the way, what's an 'apoogy'? :? :? Is it a type of shit that has the texture and elasticity of a bogey? :shock: :? :? :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Ok, so this wasn't a scam. But goonerchief's write up wasn't exactly glowing..... He said it in av very polite way, but all those phone calls and emails would not entice me to do business with you even if it were a quarter the price!

Dunno if the humour just completely passed me by (in which case :oops:) but if not, bit of an odd & ott response. :? A couple of Gooners, on one site, questioned the legitimacy of your business. Fair enough you didn’t take kindly to that, I can totally understand that. But other Gooners, on the same site, either gave you the benefit of the doubt and/or stood up for your side of the argument. Some even took up your offer & did business with you. So why would a couple of people’s relatively meek comments about you stop you wanting to do business with the tens of thousands of other potential Gooner customers out there? Genuine question, not a criticism. Just seems a bit of a self-defeating way to do business. If a couple of tottingham fans suggest your prices are too good to be true will you have had enough of them & move on to Chelsea, and then on to West Ham, Fulham…? :?
