At least davethegrave's not the only one on this thread missing the point by a country mile. Silver linings.

At least davethegrave's not the only one on this thread missing the point by a country mile. Silver linings. I was kind of thinking that myself. I don't think it was anywhere near being common knowledge. I only found out from a mate who wants to explore the possibility of a double header trip to the Channel Islands, Jersey Bulls & Guernsey on the same weekend (ambitious in my opinion). That is a somewhat niche market!

So enlighten me, if it is indeed me, what point am I actually missing?
Not surprised Dave gets the hump; not the first time he's been called out on here. This time he happened to be correct.

OK. At the end of Sallycat's original post about Jersey, she said "I think that's right anyway, happy to be corrected otherwise".
After my explanatory post, she replied and added "technically Jersey too then, Dave". (at this point, was she supposed to sign a confession in her own blood, maybe?).
Dave then pointed out that her info had been outdated, even though my post, the one immediately above Sallycat's, had been there for an hour.
Sallycat pointed this out, suggested that he read the posts above before he posts, at which point he told her to get her facts right before slagging people off.
Now, given that she didn't slag anyone off, which is blindingly obvious, why has he any right to be annoyed?
Yes, he's been called out a few times. It's a pubic forum, so have most other posters. I seem to remember he was the only person who didn't agree with the idea of giving Nathan Ashmore a supportive ovation at GGL following the racist incidents he encountered at BW. Dave thought it was patronising. Which is a strange attitude to adopt when you think about it. And I believe that was pointed out to him. Just an example.
Do you feel enlightened now?

So where did I miss the point?
The problem is there are people on here willing to call out others for the slightest of aberrations (and I am not talking about being factually incorrect).
I don't recall the Asmore standpoint but while I disagree with it that is up to him. That's not the only time he has been called out and I suspect he's getting a tad fed up with it hence his use of language, perhaps a bit strong but I underdstand why.
I therefore did not miss the point and am certainly no more enlightened before your reply but thanks for doing so anyway.

You missed the point because providing someone with correct info (OK, so it wasn't initially in this case) isn't necessarily "calling them out", unless you take life extremely personally, all the time. If, for e.g. someone else came onto this thread and said "Oh, don't forget the Isle of Man" and someone made the point that IoM aren't in the English league structure, would that be "calling them out" and would they be entitled to "get the hump" over it?
If he doesn't like it (and I'd say this about anyone), tough. It's an online forum not his front room.

Tell you what, you can have your "Sorry Miss, won't happen again" of the thread for that one.........and I even remembered to capitalise the "M" But y'know, since you called me out I should really go and hire myself a human rights lawyer, shouldn't I? See you in Strasbourg(!)

I did not miss the point. I expect he's getting pissed off with the constant niggling at him - I know I would. He probably doesn't need me to defend him but christ, there are certain people on here who appear to mock others with regards to their posts.
With regards to your IoM reference, then no, they wouldn't because they would be wrong. Dave was right. But because he didn't see your reply he gets villified for pointing out he was correct.
As i said not the first time he's been called out, picked on etc on here and if I was him I'd probably have responded similarly if not using the same language. It should be remembered not everybody is as eloquent as others at expressing themselves.
So, I did not miss the point and as you and others have expressed their dislike of the use of his language, perhaps he is not alone in thinking a public forum is his front room.

No, he was mainly criticised when he started complaining about being slagged off. Which he wasn't. That was the comment that caught the attention, because, quite plainly, it was wrong. So that, I'm afraid is missing the point. Cue your "I haven't missed the point because I said so" response.
Talking of being wrong, have you heard from Roger lately?

Oh yes. I asked him at Aldershot. Couldn't believe there was a second Gillingham person on here. He appeared fine about it (dunno if he is?) I was surprised when I first thought it was him 'cos I have knowh him for years.
Still, what happens when people hide on the internet, isn't it?
I haven't missed the point. Not going to explain anymore but bearing in mind you reckoned I was loaded the other week even though you knew nothing of my circumstances, I am not going to lose any sleep over you thinking I missed the point tbh.
Welcome to your opinion though. BTW, when did you last see U's play?

I was intrigued by what was being discussed about Forres Mechanics lol... Shame it has turned into this really, all this tit for tat does push people off the forum.
