If Archant are trying to avoid the club alienating them from their readers then comments like Michael''s above only help the club succeed.Also, the club don''t say you made it up, just that it''s not true. So even if you haven''t made it up, Michael, that''s not to say that someone else hasn''t. Unless of course the club told you that it''s true? Oh wait, no they probably didn''t, did they?

PurpleCanary 5,531 Posted October 28, 2010 This spat could serve as a definition of a storm in a teacup. Move on, indeed. However, purely for future reference, repeating a defamatory statement doesn''t stop it being defamatory. You are still publishing a defamatory statement. It doesn''t matter that you''re attributing it to someone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Bailey - Sportsdesk 0 Posted October 28, 2010 I''ve just seen what has been added to this thread since I posted.There are a few good points, in both why you guys would understand my annoyance at the situation/suggestions - and also the fact I did not go about making my point as well as I could.Obviously yesterday was a pretty frustrating day, and one which seemed to get quite personal at times (I''m not talking about the club''s statement).But CA, just to be clear, I apologise for my first post yesterday. It didn''t need to be written in that way.I''m not particularly up for getting fellow City fans'' backs up at the moment - it seems I have enough of an issue with those employed by the club.

ca 1 Posted October 28, 2010 No problems Micheal, as I said your first apology was good enough for me.To be honest I''m surprised at the club''s statement, seems a bit over the top to me, goodness knows how they will react in January when the transfer rumours start.Hope you enjoyed the scrimmage tonight.

PurpleCanary 5,531 Posted October 29, 2010 ---Actually according to what Lambert said Bailey was spot on. Lambert was quoted by Radio Norfolk as saying there was "no fabrication" in the story... That quote has now, perhaps not surprisingly, been deleted from the BBC report. But it just shows you can''t get the staff.[;)][:D][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
