Otta, you perpetually appear to misunderstand me by telling me I'm trying to wind people up. However I'm sick of being told I'm throwing my toys out of the pram by someone/anyone who doesn't understand the non-point I might have been making. Half the point of my posts is that there isn't one. So sod it.

Having a difference of opinion doesn't mean throwing toys out of the pram.


Nor does it mean having an attitude, causing trouble, looking for an argument.


It just means thinking as an individual and being brave enough to show that you are different to the majority.

Keane has made a lot of comments in support of the many ex players who have been criticised by Ferguson.

Avoid? It was hardly under Scholes' control - I'd like a bit of Posh, i'll get one of those for meself. Oh and those Armani pants contracts, I'll get one of those too.... Sorry no takers.

I didn't think Keane was having a go at Scholes for having a career in the media


as I read it he was having a go at him for NOT doing the same media duties as a player that the other players did and that he hid behind a "aw gee shucks" persona - one he has now shed


As for two egomaniacs fighting over book sales - I strongly doubt they are fighting a zero sum game - most people reading one will read the other


And both will be infinitely more interesting than (to pick someone at random) Scholes book

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
