I find it strange that people are now acting like it definitely wasn't her, when there isn't anything more to suggest it wasn't her than when she was posting, just seems people are going along with it. I'm pretty sure it was her, but at a guess I'd say that now she's become more of a public figure she's more than happy for people to think that it wasn't her.

I think the mods (or a mod at least) have since confirmed that it wasn't her.

 

Although to be fair I remember at the time a mod vouching for her so who knows?!

 

I just can't see how it was her.As I and @hogso say, there were times when she was on live TV and posting on VT at the same time. even if she was posting in the breaks of the show, why would she? 
Also, at the height of her fame loads of people on here asked her to drop a word or phrase into an interview to give us a shout out and she never did. And given how playful she was on here and up for a but of banter, it didn't make sense.

People from here were tweeting her and she didn’t confirm anything. I’m sure she also appeared online right before her bronze medal run in the Winter Olympics.

I’m 95% sure it wasn’t her, but it’s just so bizarre and there’s no smoking gun leaves my mind slightly open.

What's the Villa link to it all? I know her name from competiting in the winter Olympics and winning medals but she was born in Bristol and never mentioned football in any interview I've seen so does seem a bit far fetched she'd sign up to a Villa forum in her down time.:lol: Katherine Merry does support us and mentioned it a few times when she was on 5 live fighting talk so that would be more believable.

Didn't see episode but seems Aston Villa 1980-90 was her specialist subject on Celebrity mastermind.

Was too distracted at the time working out who @Hairyhands was anyway. That was a fun few weeks!

I'm pretty certain the story went something like an ex-boyfriend had been a villa fan, do she kinda just picked them that way. How that then became signing up to VT in the narrative though, I'm not sure.

I don't really know what the point of the deception was. Odd. 

Nah me neither.

Btw, if a friend wanted me to ask how long DMs get saved on the server because he sent some photos to ‘Jenny Jones’ that he probably shouldn’t have, what should I tell my friend? :ph34r:

Yeah this. She said she had no affection for Villa and didn’t support them, but an ex boyfriend did and so she signed up to VT that way. 
 

Which also makes no sense

In the context of the time, we had Laura and ME around, both because of partners. 

Even 'cool' girlfriends were getting into Villa.

I miss Laura, her Brits night meltdown was one of the funniest evenings on here. She was annoyed that nobody was taking her Brits thread seriously so she went on a posting spree in dozens of threads trying to ruin them :lol:

Would I be wrong to suggest that they also said the ex boyfriend in question was a member of VT (or had been), but wouldn't say who?

Live TV does lag behind reality. Betting streams are fast for obvious reasons, but your supposedly live 'Big Brother', where there's VT being run, graphics, the danger of someone doing something untoward (the subject or a random floating about) and a director making decisions on the fly are a good few minutes behind the action.

Purely circumstantial, many of B's picture links are broken, though there is a professionally taken pic of her hospitalised. VA's pics from the same period are still up.

Not convinced either way.

If the Mods want to chip in with some IP insider knowledge, or someone wants to admit to being Scuba Steved? I'm sure we'd all love to know :)

Yeah, we need one contrary wrong voice on here to give some ‘balance’ for those that hilariously think there’s a lefty pc bias.

yeah I'm fine thanks for asking  ...  just got a lot going on work wise with the furlough stuff  , who knew not working was actually more time consuming than actually working !!

 

I'll be back soon to give VT its one and only voice of reason  against the lefty echo chamber  :P

Yep! I'm 80/20 in favour of it not being her. There is, however, enough doubt for me not to be entirely convinced it wasn't.
