Patrick Bateman Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Aren't there normally a couple of third round FA Cup matches on the BBC on the Saturday? I can't find anything on, pah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 I thought the same. I got the papers this morning and went searching to a game to watch. Nothing, nada, nichts, niente... I might even have to talk to my wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Sunday and Monday night. Slightly odd selection. They should have put the Wimbledon match on Saturday teatime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 I've resorted to watching Hearts v Hibs, although the standard is so poor it may be the Dog & Duck v The Crowns. I have actually do some maths marking it's that shiite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 Your style is to be wrong, then fine. Well done on that. Right or wrong when discussing grammar is not a matter of law, more style. Some people are trend setters, others slavish followers. The only criterion is that the intention be clear. IMHO, of course. I've been reading Oliver Kamm in The Times. He writes a column on Saturdays called 'The Pedant' which has led me to reconsider my views on grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He writes a column on Saturdays called 'The Pedant' which has led me to reconsider my views on grammar. Can you point me in the direction of a dictionary or major style guide that advises using the noun/adjective English without capitalisation? If it's just you, as an individual being a "trend setter" (for the sake of not admitting you are wrong on a forum) then let's agree you're wrong. And accusing people who use capital E for the word English as "slavish followers"? What a monumental bellend you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And accusing people who use capital E for the word English as "slavish followers"? What a monumental bellend you are. If you want a style guide I could always write one for you? For the record, I deliberately chose to write without a capital, so it wasn't a mistake in the usual sense, but whichever, no one really cares, do they? (I don't believe I did accuse people who use a capital E as 'slavish followers', I was merely speaking in general terms. Well, not exactly speaking, writing more like) (Also, whilst we're at it, I prefer to use single quotes (') when referring to written text rather that double quotation marks ("), but that's my style ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 3 January, 2015 Share Posted 3 January, 2015 (edited) If you want a style guide I could always write one for you? For the record, I deliberately chose to write without a capital, so it wasn't a mistake in the usual sense, but whichever, no one really cares, do they? (I don't believe I did accuse people who use a capital E as 'slavish followers', I was merely speaking in general terms.

England, English. In all dictionaries and all known style guides. Glad that's settled. You chose to write "english" because you're not a "slavish follower". But of course. Or... you "really care" enough when picked up on a simple mistake to fabricate an entire back story for your error rather than just owning up. So, "for the record", you're full of it.

shurlock Posted 4 January, 2015 Share Posted 4 January, 2015 No football today either? The BBC seem to have really ****ed this one up. They've gone on about it all week, but no live games? Thought there'd be a couple yesterday and 2 or 3 today. At least, ITV did overkill right. Just as annoyed that the draw's on Monday evening.

Thought there'd be a couple yesterday and 2 or 3 today. The Arsenal game is on later to be fair. For the first and second round BBC coverage was good, but this is a bit of a damp squib. Them showing the Wimbledon match on Monday is dopey too when it should have been the centre piece of the weekend coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
