    Read the code of ethics yourself if you like? Media reports on stories are subject to interpretation by the vested interest of the paper and it's readers. But direct quotes are only allowed to be carried if the person actually said those words - and must not be 'inaccurate' 'misleading' or 'distort information'

    Wrong! Modric's words are reported as direct quotes because they appear between quotation marks. You can't use quotation marks and then claim that they are not direct quotes.

    Unfortunately, simply whining because I'm a Gooner, doesn't change the fact that you are wrong. <ok>

    Modric's quotes are just that - his words. Seeing as you seem to have difficulty understanding that, here's a very simple definition that the code of ethics states:

    So,as I don't read the Fail, they are claiming that they have spoken directly with Modric himself and that those are his exact words. Correct??

    A direct quote is a printed form of what was actually said.

    Not to mention it being a transparent attempt at a get out clause when he has lost the argument. <ok>

    Responding to Michigan will only encourage him/make it harder to justify deleting him

    If you want him gone I suggest sending a private message to either Cyprussydsafc or Maltese Mick
