    I've never previously participated in the Knowles bashing or undue critique on the quality of stories but this particular one is my pet hate:

    "He added: "It is hard to stop dissent. I can appreciate that players do get frustrated. It is a high pressure game and things not always go there way."

    I'm assuming that this an appropriately qualified journalist writing this story and yet demonstrating a childs grip on grammar. </p>

    Sorry to jump on the bandwagon but that particular one really bugs me.

    Are you joking?

    Should that not be 'a child's grip on grammar?'

    Take your point as it's a journalist...

    ...but people on this board get on my wick for being pedantic about spelling/grammar.

    Not at all ... </p>

    The article originally read &quot;There&quot; and has since been changed to &quot;Their&quot; - and is now correct.</p>

    I agree ... I almost feel bad about moaning about something like that but it is our official site as opposed to something someone has put on a message board.
