Such a weird post.


Maybe in your eyes, however it is an entirely logical assumption for many people to question your experiences of so many years ago..a child's mind works differently to an adults in many ways



Diablo, you are saying that his childhood was 'no more difficult than many people of the era' and ' entirely logical assumption for many people to question your experiences of so many years ago'
I am confused, Diablo, are you accusing him of lying or playing up his childhood poverty to sell books? I'm not clear on which it is.



Neither , I originally said I would like NC 's take on the event of another young person entering his family circle , I was then told it was a weird post ...I have never queried his experiences as being lies or accused him of playing on his childhood poverty to sell his book..these events were entirely in his own mindset at that time..you cannot experience what someone else experiences at best you can be an observer ..NC was obviously an observer at the time and I just wondered what he made of it all...nothing subversive or weird just a straight forward query

Isn't your book about your childhood experience ?


Your comment didn't question my childhood experiences, other than to say my childhood was no more difficult than others from the same era.

I wrote about MY childhood, no one else's and at no point did I compare it to anyone else's. Or say it was any tougher or easier than others.

Your comment was around how Nigel may have felt and me potentially taking his fathers time away from him. Bizarre to say the least.

The second comment was around my almost unhealthy obsession in foĺlowing Nigel. Unhealthy for who exactly? Who am I harming and why do you care?

Still, thanks for buying the book at 13.50 or £17 and commenting from a position of knowledge.

You have read the book haven't you?

Good for you. That way a charity will benefit twice. Once from the person who paid full price and donated the book and once from the cheapskate know it all who dislikes the author enough to make stupid comments on a forum before reading the actual book.

You've got a big heart.

Let them be negative bear.

The reviews I'm getting from people who've bought and read it and from media, journalists, award panels and other "proper" authors, tells me it's a good book and far outweighs the tiny number of negative views from people on social media who haven't even read it.

Hope you enjoy it pal and thanks for ordering!

Form what I've seen/read the Clough's pretty much adopted broomo (I've not read the book yet, so please correct me if I'm wrong). They gave him work, food, a place to stay etc.

He was pretty much family. I don't know how close he was to Nigel. Simon and Elizabeth. Must have been pretty close for Simon to give him a job in his post office.

Broome didn't seem "into" football before Clough came into his life. So it's easy to follow a person as opposed to a specific team. I don't find it weird in a weird way. It's just unusual in that you don't hear about it often. Except like a players dad, for example. If Nigel was like a brother to him (before he messed up big time) I don't find it weird that broomo follows him around. Whether broomo feels its penance for his mistake(s), or just fell in love with football being around the Clough's, it'd make sense that his love of football is to do with the Clough family and not a specific club.

One thought I had typing this. Do you think there's people who follow referees to every game they ref?

My friend's son is a referee, slowly making his way up the ladder. Was linesman in Conference South a few weeks ago. He goes to watch his son every game.

You lost the discussion once you started name calling..I never said I disliked you..you must have very low self esteem if you think that anyone who dares to question events from your past actually dislikes you.. so lay off the insults please

Completely agree with this.

Especially by fans who don’t even go to games themselves! If Broomo is paying money to watch stags then that’s all good with me, hope he’s around for a while because that means Clough is being successful with us!

I didn't lose anything, you made a couple of narky and theb sarcastic points on a couple of narky posts and I won't sit back and let that slide.

Even the self esteem comment, you hide behind cheap digs, I'm a bit more straight forward.

"Dare" to question my past all you like. Who are you to do that exactly?

And that is how it should be, best wishes to him on his career as an official.

I officiayed the Notts Veterans cup final many years ago. The captain of the Winners, Notts Police, had his father there to watch. His father had not missed a game his son had played since his son was at school. To me, that sentence on dedication to his son and football was an worth more than any Premier League statement, any player soundbite or television taking head could ever say.
