As most teachers these days don't seem to be able to spell, I blame the parents

I think it's unfair to pick people up all the time on their grammar and spelling. They might be perfectly nice people and just because they haven't been able to learn a life skill for whatever reason they get mocked and derided. I'd hate to think that people who lack confidence in their English would refrain from joining up just because they don't want the hassle of being highlighted publicly.

Everyone's opinion counts no matter how it is presented and so long as we can get the general gist of what the other person is trying to convey then I don't see why they should be made to look foolish.

In your case Mick, reading a lot of your posts I can clearly see you are a very intelligent man and I can see why such things would irk you slightly but I'm not wanting to cause a fuss, I just want to say how I like to read any post from anybody no matter how many mistakes there are in it. It's not right to criticise for this.

Anyway, in today's day and age of computers - it doesn't really matter if you can write or spell because a machine will do it for you.

Yer, why wood u blame the pairents init.

I blame Alan Knill

I blame technology............... =D

Andy I'm sure the OP is no fool and it was simply a slip of the finger. Had I thought him that unintelligent I would not have mentioned it.
Anyway, I blame feminism and single mothers..

Who doesn't?

Surely it's Bill Phillips' fault, isn't it? (Note the apostrophe)

Gay Marriage :Oops: . Thanks rob I thought apostrophe, was spelt apostroughfee....

Oh go one. Blame the Germans. after all. their spelling is the Vurst

Maybe I can shed some light on this.
Rovers had problems earlier this season because of trouble at Trashton against The Sheeds
The sheeds invaded the pitch and set at the Rovers fans. some of whome invaded the pitch. There was also some trouble the previous season if I remember.
The club was given a suspended fine which was considerable
This occasion the fans invaded the pitch twice.
The fine will not just be considerable. it could easily have some other repurcussions.
Both fans and the club are seriously worried

In that case, if Rovers do get to have points deducted, it could happen that, depending on results, Rovers and Northampton could go down, and Torquay and Wycombe could stay up. Who'd have thought it....!!

No it couldn't. Even if Bristol Rovers have a ten point deduction only one of Torquay and Wycombe can win, so one would still go down.

There has only ever been one deduction of points in the league for "persistent" pitch invasions - Brighton had 3 points deducted.

Awww bless. I notice that you don't mention that the trouble that night was started by your holier than thou mates when a scruffy little mob turned up 15 minutes late and made a pathetic attempt to get to City fans in the Williams Stand. As someone who was actually at the game, not watching on TV, I can tell you that changed the whole atmosphere inside the ground.

Stop making excuses for your buddies and accept that they are worried because of their own "we'll go where we want and do what we want" 'too big for L2' attitude. They aren't going to get a points deduction anyway.

The was no excuses for either set of fans that night (the idiot 5% that is as, I am sure the real fans of both clubs would want to distance themselves from anything to do with it). It was truly shameful to watch
