I would imagine the defamation threat would simply to emphasise the point that the poster was telling lies. If he merely said "I didn't say that," it wouldn't have got the coverage.

On the other end, maybe it might help to curb some of the sh1t spoken on here and other forums.

If Ollie said nothing, nobody would've batted an eyelid as he's been accused of far worse things on the internet. The fact he chose to challenge htis one suggests at the very least that he's an idiot

well lets hear this interview and see this transcript, if he didnt sday it, then the derry fan should retract it. If he did, he should be ashamed and he should be doubly ashamed for the course of action taken by shelsw.... who is who btw, I wonder what the w stands for???

Maybe he's covering himself til he gets the transcript (which the ob is already privy to), or maybe he jumped the gun? We'll see, I haven't heard it.

Speaking to a legal eagle on this matter he was minded to advise that by not removing the offending words the case would, if there was one to answer, have very limite dlegal recourse.

I dunno!

I presume the DCFC poster lives north of the border which would add further difficulties in persuing a case.
