Sorry, no idea what you mean by "our lot laugh at the dedicated melty.. " I am well educated too but have no idea what you are talking about
Anybody else bored shitless by all this palaver. It was a bit of handbags in Dawson's case it's done let's move on. For Shea might give us a decent chance to ditch an underperforming loan player.
I would imagine there are many reading this who agree with your sentiment. A football match is not a church. If you're too delicate for the odd swear word then go sit in the family stand. I sit near one chap who in the real world is mild and gentle - but oh my what a potty mouth at the footy. I take my young son on occassion and have in the past taken other family members. They are all told - this is a football match. It gets a bit cheeky and what you hear inside Oakwell is for inside Oakwell only. Jesus wept we're in a relegation battle and 5 nil down. WTF do people expect. A jolly good round of applause for all the chaps and off down the public house together for ginger beer and lashings of lemonade in some kind of Harry Enfield chumly warner sketch.. FFS on a stick.
O dear, O dear, in one post he calls us half wits and in another says he's an educated young man but then spells allowed as aloud. Now anybody can make spelling mistakes, we all do, but to make them in a thread where he calls people names and brags that he's educated is very funny.
Abuse is only as bad as you allow it to be, if you ignore it and laugh at the fact someone is so hell bent on laying into you it can be quite amusing.
Unfortunately he has clearly been miseducated but to a very high standard. And from his post I can only imagine he hasn't yet left school as it is childish, pedantic and a little bit cringe worthy. If you are unable to refrain from abusing someone because you're losing a football match you are very unbalanced human. And not educated anywhere I'll be sending my kids.
Agreed! It's a kind of street speak, innit. The trouble is that this kind of bad English soon finds its way into mainstream writing. It's sloppy and it's wrong in any context, but those who write like that just make light of it, as if it doesn't matter. Well, in the far distant future when we are all communicating in ape like grunts I suppose the better educated apes (the orangutans, obviously) will get together and talk about the old days when people knew how to speak to each other. But then the warrior gorillas will hear them talking, wade in with terrifying shrieks and kill them all...
Must admit I picked up on the mistake moments after posting it, but hoped it would go unnoticed. One nil to the BBS grammar and spelling police. But for the record, graduated from the University of Nottingham with a first class degree, and now earn a six figure salary. I also have a beautiful girlfriend and considerably large penis. YOU REDS!
