    RE: De Marco.

    I put a coded message in my last post and no one picked up on it - piece of piss if you've got an ounce of subtlety about you.

    I think it's been hilarious so I can wait a few more weeks no problem.

    It's been something thats kept me interested, but I do think the times come for a conclusion and either way I'm fine with it.

    Wow that was an old one.

    Unfortunately I lost the plot after a month or two and I couldn't make up my mind

    The question is, who was it aimed at? Who should be offended?

    Take each capitalized letter and decide for yourself.

    Oh I got the message. Just not sure who the phallic arrow was aimed at!

    No one in particular, more schoolboy mischief. The point is, you can see signs wherever your eyes point.

    A lot of the people spouting fake ITK or interpreting pictures are like flat earthers. They start with their conclusion and then work backward to pick up evidence that supports their case.

    I don't know if De Marco is posting hints, nor do I care. As others have stated, he wouldn't post anything remotely close to revealing due to the consequences. As I've become older, I've learned agony can often be at your own discretion. I'm choosing not to care.

    I think it was on QI once where they showed a map with ancient lay lines that joined up to form some sort of ancient symbol. The map had done the rounds and been used in all sorts of conspiracy theories. Later turned out it was a map of Tesco extras and the delivery chain routes between them. You see what fits your beliefs rather than believing what you see.

    Ha, exactly.

    I know that for some this is their life, and I won't pretend I don't flick on Twitter when I wake up to check, but after that, what's the point? I find it's the same with transfers. Sure, if you spot them at an airport, or at a training ground, that's good evidence.

    The in-between stuff, like what has trailed Jadon Sancho, is a fool's errand. It's like taking an order at a dinner table. If by the time you get to the kitchen I want meat not fish, you're out of date. You weren't wrong, it's just that the situation has changed.

    Part of me is sad Rafa has gone, but I also acknowledge second time around never goes how you want. I'd rather file that away in the 'would have been a laugh drawer' than sit by my bay window and pray he comes back.

    I think you might be one of my socks that I had forgotten I had.

    You've concluded that it was a coincidence and I haven't.
    You've concluded he wouldn't do something that he did do either deliberately or inadvertently that allowed people to make the conclusion I did.

    This idea it was was 50 / 50 is nonsense because at the time it was widely considered the case would be for compensation. The reason people ruled out change of ownership was because PIF had walked away.

    I don't mind people disagreeing that's fine they disagreed in Oct, but I do mind sly digs mate. I had this in October and ultimately I was spot on.People should just make their claim without resorting to insulting the person they don't agree with.

    I could've argued throughout that the people that put everything down as coincidence are lazy and ignorant, but I think it's out of order, so I chose to debate the subject, the reason that spawned the idea and the liklehood involved.

    Ultimately they were wrong in October and I was right whether I was a flatearther as you say or not it was the correct conclusion I reached and it was reached from a demarco photo. if you can't see the issue with the claims he wouldn't put anything on twitter that would potentially leak things about the case then that's not my problem... He quite simply did, but it cannot be proven because as you've quite correctly pointed out it can be put down as a coincidence.



    Only 1 photo had anything in and I suspect there's now 2.

    Good morning and welcome to the site.

    I'd also like to point out that the guy that said the world was round in the 1st place was the guy going against popular opinion.

    He was the guy looking at things correctly,
    being laughed and told he was crazy.

    There's still people arguing he was wrong today.

    Kind of ironic that's all

    That's a very interesting and extraordinary claim, but the only difference is that in this claim the case was for change of ownership was actually a case for change of ownership.

    I saw what actually happened, so my belief was correct.

    If I say "oh look it looks like there's a Mars bar over there" then I walk over and pick up a Mars bar was I correct?

    FFS Roy, I thought we had put this to bed. Not everything quoted on here is a dig at you.

    Yes, if you saw a Mars bar and then picked up the Mars bar then there was a Mars Bar. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything on this thread though. It is false logic.

    Give it a rest. You think one thing. Some people agree with you. I think another thing. Some people agree with me. It's a football forum with opinions. Opinions are allowed to differ!!

    Oh I see so you were being dishonest when you said you were enjoying the banter.

    Can you read?

    I haven't insulted anyone's opinion quite the contrary.

    Draw a line under it? I went to bed and you continued lol



    I'll await your sincere apology

    How the hell did I continue??

    I didn't reply to you after that until this morning. We were discussing the general idea of people seeing what they want to see. It wasn't aimed at you. Not everything is about you.

    I do enjoy the banter, but you are making wild assumptions that people are talking about something that they clearly aren't. I haven't insulted your opinion. I have disagreed with it.

    Hang on you've just replied to a comment that wasn't made directly at you haven't you mate?

    You're fully aware I was one of the people that read into that 1st photo, so if I read that those people are flatearthers then it's quite clear I'd have reason to feel offended.

    Essentially the subject matter continued after we drew a line under it and you engaged it. I don't mind it was my right to engage with you both also though

    You for some reason have since implied that I have started it up, but in reality I didn't and it was kept going while I slept.


    The line of conversation continued and a slight slant was made towards me, so I engaged in a perfectly and reasonable conversation and made sure to be respectful.

    You're in a bad mood mate I was just debating and at no point have I disrespected anyone's opinion. In fact that was the other way around

    Obviously you didn't take my advice and went to bed on an empty stomach

    I am in a perfectly good mood. The only comment I replied to this morning was a comment you made replying to one of my posts where I answered a direct comment to me. You need to learn to read instead of asking me if I can read. Even the other person's post you took offence to started with 'some of the people'. It wasn't a blanket attack on everyone who had an opinion.

    The subject matter changed and evolved. It was no longer about your opinion but rather a general conversation about how we all see what we want to see in life. Everyone does it.
