Agreed

I think it was this post


"Chuckle? you've made me fall about. Behave, you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here, or are you missing the point on purpose?"


I admit my jaw dropped when I read it as the comma, strictly speaking, means the clauses "you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here" are related.

Then I realised that's not what he meant, but instead of trying to make that clear as usual PD just upped the confrontational ante.


I guess what he meant was


"Chuckle? you've made me fall about. Behave, you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here [not club rivalry], or are you missing the point on purpose?"


But of course the point was that club rivalry was exactly what we were talking about, we had moved on from racism to players moving to rival clubs and club hatred.


Anyway, I'll take silence as an implicit apology to quids that what he wrote was easily inferred as an accusation of racism even if it wasn't (and i really don't think it was) implied.


Oh and imply vs infer

Apologise for what exactly? I've not accussed him of anything. He stated that I was rude, etc and then says I'm, a "K*nt". So my point is that he was not as pure as the driven snow, snow white as in he has been guilty of the things he accuses me of. Clearly you are reading something into my posts which aren't there.

That's because they are in a playing sense. The top sides tend to pick themselves, with England you get the feeling that Roy still doesn't know his best side, and could perm any 11 from about 18. At least there were two positives from last night, Sterling and Lallana...

Yet I've said many times that's isn't what I've accused him of, just his take on it. not sure what else I can add.

"Yet I've said many times that's isn't what I've accused him of, just his take on it. not sure what else I can add."


Indeed you did,. but you denied any culpability as if it had come out of thin air.


You have to remember, imply and infer are about interpretation. If the writing is ambiguous and everyone else sees a clear inference, then it doesn't matter the intention of the writer. I believe libel laws can hang on such things.


Sally Bercow used the 'i didn't mean that guv' defence and lost.

Fans have not lodged a complaint, the club want compensation for the injury from the FA, which is fair enough.

OK, rather overdoing it, especially suggesting picking a striker who isn't even match fit, and Downing has his haters, but Noble, there's truth in them thar hills

http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/06/why-roy-hodgson-must-start-picking-west-ham-stars-like-andy-carroll-stewart-downing-and-mark-noble-for-englands-world-cup-2014-squad-4444228/

Noble is dogged, determined, a good tackler and passer, good awareness and positioning, and can occasionally boot the ball well.

He's far from a star player and maybe not a game changer, but he's effective and personifies the spirit the national team utterly lacks right now.

Given the dearth of talent and the insipid displays so called great players have shown in recent years, give me a Noble in the squad any day.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
