Textbook deflection

It doesn't. What "matters" is that the fail is contradicting itself.

Loved the first one and started the second, but wasn't grabbed by it. Maybe give it another go.

"Facts" courtesy of unsubstantiated fail story. Why are we even talking about this? He's a bully who should be charged with ABH apparently, all on the say so of Matt Hughes. Fail has a video on its site now which says that Dyche left the table with Patterson, no mention of Tarkowski at all....so the "facts" that people are drawing their own "facts" from are not only uncorroborated, they're contradictory.

Yup. Comparing what the fail said to what Haf said and pointing out the difference, no mention at all of what I believe (or don't) Anyone else play Chinese Whispers as a kid?

Not so sure myself.

Er...no, what makes you think that?

"Of course there was ale involved" Again just speculation...but if he had had a beer then was it contributary to what it's "understood" he did? Seems to like a pint so you'd think he can handle it. "Down time" = alcohol? Again with embellishing the story, report says Tarkowski (just him, not "captains") took him "to one side," not outside, which has different connotations. If you want to swallow the whole story as written then go for it (general point, not just directed at Haf), and if you want to make it worse for whatever motive then fill yer boots...but does it not occur to you that if there was more to it the fail would've been all over it?

You know that how? I took the degrading step of actually opening the fail site to read the article, and there was no mention at all of alcohol. What there was was, "Mail sport has learned" (no source) blah blah "Dyche is understood (by who? Again no source) to have apologised to Patterson." BLAH BLAH "...caused a stir among fellow restaurant diners." (none of whom felt the need or inclination to talk about it apparently). Can't believe how ridiculous this thread has got, everyone believing without question a highly dubious report, but not only that, going off into fantasy land to embellish it. Love a bit of drama don't we

They opened with Shine on You Crazy Diamond and the keyboard first couple of minutes was fine, then the guitar part kicked in, and he was attacking the strings far too harshly imo...sounded like when the cat pulls at one of my strings with her claws. The original is a little bit like that admittedly but he overdid it for me, was worried at that point, but he was pretty much faultless from then on in. Good show.

https://www.thedarksideofpinkfloyd.co.uk/ They were not bad at all. I could point out a few bits I was unimpressed by if I was being hypercritical (I was), but overall very good, time disappeared quickly which is always a good sign. (Playing in Birkenhead later in the year if you're interested)

Bloody hell

Going to see a Pink Floyd tribute band tonight; have no expectations because not something I've done before, but will be interesting. The guys make a living doing it so they can't be total shite (I hope).

Jake Bidwell there as well.

I turned it off after the Wolves goals. Mistake.

Disagree. There are plenty of people who I could give a friendly slap to who I know would take it in the manner it's intended, doesn't everyone have mates/family/colleagues like that? But I wouldn't do it to my bank manager. There's not one rule fits all.

Really like this podcast (Emily Maitlis being on it is a bonus), this bit in particular....so true, right wing cunts like Anderson saying they "tell it like it is" and represent the views of the "silent majority". Do they fuck.

Interesting, I currently have a LibDem MP who got in at the by-election after our previous (tory)honourable member got caught looking at tractor porn (probably stimulating his honourable member) But all different next time due to boundary changes, so no idea how it'll go.

"European Cup was such a success that they implemented a second tier competition known as the UEFA Cup." Nope, was the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup; and it wasn't started because the EC was successful, they both started at the same time. Only thirty seconds in and already bollocks, don't think I'll watch any further

I've never liked surprises, now I like them even less

Fuck off.

What?

Selected all the time he was sat on the City bench, now he's getting game time with West Ham he's dropped. Hmmm

Confirmed, good on him!
