Pap's up there with Verbal when it comes to putting words in people's mouths...

Since when was raising similar examples to add balance to a conversation declared invalid? Other than by the thought police on here of course. What's worse? Whataboutery or whataboutery deflection?

Quick.... Someone post a photo of Maggie Thatcher standing next to Jimmy Savile...

@alex_crook: Been critical of #pompey when required this season but that is a terrific point. Watched the game in the gym and thought they played well. @bigadamsport: Well deserved point for #Pompey tonight - worked really hard all night & had better chances in game

Rickie will be buzzing after his brace vs Denmark on Wednesday so has to start for me.

And a good reaction to a troll is to ignore their baiting questions...

Good trolls are adept at staying just below the moderation radar. Starting a thread with "I know I'll be called a troll...but..." is a textbook deflection technique...as is playing the persecution card...

Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen Good on Defoe saying farewell to Spurs fans. A nasty cold stopped him waving bye to #Pompey fans. Kept him from being FA cup-tied too. Darren Box ‏@darrenbox @pn_neil_allen blokes a **** Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @darrenbox Can’t possibly disagree! Bloomers ‏@Bloomerz1 @pn_neil_allen complete tosser Neil Allen ‏@pn_neil_allen @Bloomerz1 Spot on!
