OK Musket. Assuming that your opening comment was not meant just to annoy. Yes, I can and have often been educated people who know more than me on some topics. Just as I have educated people that know less than me about others.

I do not particularly follow any football team. I do believe that at top level there is a surfeit of overpaid spoiled brats and that the value placed on the game by some people is far in excess of what is deserved. However I do enjoy the odd game and can appreciate the skill involved. I also believe that people who do not like football have every right to comment on incidents that have nothing whatsoever to do with the game itself. Like the biting of other players.

On the subject of good manners I do not find it particularly courteous to open a response with an implied doubt of someones intelligence. So I find the castigation of those who have dismissed the subject by yourself somewhat hypocritical. Then again, I suppose your opinion of my views will probably be on par with the value I place on yours.

Cheers
