Reviews

Koptalk, a once popular Liverpool FC site received many favourable reviews in the early 2000's but in recent years Koptalk's popularity has plummeted (It is now the 14th most visited LFC site [4]) and reviews are less favourable.

July 2000 Okay, first things first - unless you are a Liverpool fan, this site is of no use or probably interest to you whatsoever. This site, created and maintained by Duncan Oldham, a fan, is a true labour of love. For an amateur operation the content, particularly the input from current and former players with the club is amazing. To those who aren't Liverpool fans, this is the kind of thing evry club should have.[5]

June 20006 Koptalk free services are generally copied/reworded articles from online news sites or other forums. This is supposed to tempt the user into the pay part of the site.

The forums are full of arguing with little proper discussion and a few moderators who are obviously there to argue and be controversial to get more hits for advertising revenue.

Beware of the pay part of the site, it's mainly fabricated rumours. Other rumours are stolen from other sites. Note that the owner highlights which rumours have come true but if you make up enough stories this is bound to happen.

The layout isn't too bad but other sites aren't filled with rubbish. The advertising overwhlems the user.

Don't bother with koptalk, use one of the free fans' forums on the internet, a Google search will find them easily. Also, newsnow liverpool feed as that's where the owner seems to get most of his stories from. [6]

Community Reviews

Scam site known for producing false and misleading stories to incite traffic & banners clicks, especially from foreign supporters.

So much that a dedicated Anti Koptalk Blog has been setup, and has made lots of progress including getting official proof from Liverpool FC that Koptalk have no access to Anfield, despite them claiming for years they have 'Insider access'
