It is so full of lies, sophistry and exaggerations that it completely insults those of us who spend time on this forum.
For example, I can't think of one person who thinks Keane us undroppable. No player since this forum started has divided opinion more, other than Roy. It's just that your argument as it was presented didn't stack up. I fear for your Business Law assignment marker if he says you need to present your critical thinking better. Instead of following his advice and fine tuning your reasoning you'll simply wait 3 weeks and re-present the same paper thinking he must be a demented idiot with no recollection of your first submission.
Nobody accused you of manipulating quotes or statistics. (Maybe Geysir?)
People have rightly accused you of avoiding tough questions
Nobody has any issues with unpopular opinions, in themselves.
Nobody has manipulated Shane Long's statistics, though many have criticised his finishing. Perish the thought.
Nobody denies Keane said what he said. Most accept they were at worst ambiguous and most agree they were out of character with his proven commitment. Some like me believe sub-editors at IMN relished the opportunity to spin them negatively.
Only you persist with the notion that McGeady was "clear" that Ireland's likely success (compared to Scotland) was a factor in his "declaration" when the only thing clear in the quoted passage was that he was glad to have played in the Euros.
