I didn't write in and complain, I asked a Telegraph reporter why yet again they were misleading people and missing out facts. As for Telegraph obsession, might be worth going through your post history.
You should probably try some balance at some point. You are the one that keeps saying "there may not have been a knife" and "people imagined it".
So, either they had a knife or it was planted. It's as simple as that.
Glad to know you're delving through my post history again - as I said, almost all of my posts about the Telegraph are replies to you. I've told you before, you have the power to stop me droning on, but you keep coming back like a puppy. The fact you spend your spare time pestering reporters about stories you don't like suggests you won't stop either.
I'm more than happy to play devil's advocate if it means offering some balance to the steady stream of people willing to convict someone based on not very much evidence. I have no idea why people get so touchy about that.
Whatever nationality you are I'm sure you don't want to be blamed for the atrocities they've committed. Why don't you extend that courtesy to other people?What makes you think I'm English?
Twat.
I don't need to delve, you just click on the username and you will see a fair amount of your posts are when somebody mentions the Telegraph.Glad to know you're delving through my post history again - as I said, almost all of my posts about the Telegraph are replies to you.

We do convict people on eye witness evidence alone, in fact lots of people are.
Wow
Have watched England (intermittently) home and away for decades - No longer a member of the FA's official supporters group (for a variety of reasons) One thing I don't miss though is rubbing shoulders with some of my 'fellow countrymen'.In addition to this I had a right shock going to my first England game. Racist chanting everywhere. I was cringing my head off. I innocently assumed all football crowds would be like us.
Very true!
Also true: Nearly three-quarters of wrongful convictions (in the US, at least) are based on eyewitness evidence How an unreliable eyewitness can make you a murderer
Again - don't get precious. Who knows, you might turn out to be right!

Yes agreed. Police are asking for witnesses, there's a log number you can quote. The quicker they can progress this, check the knife and CCTV, maybe we can move on.Give a statement to the Bill. We need to clear this shit up properly.

If you want to be precious you need to look at the up to date stats
DNA Exonerations in the United States - Innocence Project
Seems the vast majority of eye witness failures are after the event indentifications
1 nil
This all happened in and aroud broadgate.
you'd probably be better taking that up with William Barr. Not sure there's much we can do about it on here.
Only an idiot would say eyewitness testimony was useless. I'm only trying to point out how it's not infallible. But you can have your '1 nil' if you like, I don't really mind.
You know, it's OK to learn stuff from other countries too sometimes. But something tells me my lesson plan isn't going well so maybe I'll give it a rest...
you've linked an article that's behind a paywall you cretin.
Only 3 and a half paragraphs are visible before subscription is required and they contain one citation of a case from 1979. Do you think that backs up your argument?
I'd bet a large sum of money you'd don't actually subscribe the the publication, you just saw the headline and though it would prove your point. That would be in keeping with the nonsense you've been spouting.

Yeah I know, it wasn't ideal. Obviously I don't subscribe to New Scientist magazine. But let's be realistic, poor DOD wasn't going to read a lengthy academic paper, was he. So I went with the most concise summary of the argument I could find in 5 minutes. My bad! If you want a good book to read on this stuff then Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is probably the best introduction to it.

Why wouldn't I read an academic paper? Mate you seem to think you are smart but sadly as everyone is trying to tell you you are in fact a tad stupid.
Fucking virgin
I’ve read Thinking Fast and Slow and it doesn’t support the idea multiple eye witness accounts can be independently wrong in the exact same way.
there's a fucking shock. You've read it, he's probably read the synopsis on the cover.
It's a book on behavioural science that talks about instinctive thought vs rational thought.people who were there told me they saw the knives. I don't need to read a book about it.
You have made some claims regarding the fact you comment mostly on football matters from the limited involvement you have on here.
Even as a post percentage this is now false but more crucially the length of posts are massively skewed to defending a certain local publication.
You restrict this ire as well to the local publication. If you had a passion for this topic fair enough but then you would be vigorously challenging the anecdotal and false posts on the Madeline McCann thread. You would be all over that - you are not
there's a fucking shock. You've read it, he's probably read the synopsis on the cover.
Anyway, you do realize that putting together a statistical analysis of my posts is....really really weird?
Funnily enough, the CET is the only publication that comes up on a CCFC board. I couldn't be less interested in the Maddie McCann thread - I'm sure it's a true hellscape.
Anyway, the CET website is largely awful - the product of horrific cuts to local news across the country and disastrous industry consolidation. But I've stood up for it in the past because it still serves an important purpose in generating interest in our local club, even if it often fails in that mission. It gets some unfair criticism from people who don't realise how much they rely on it, and how precious their complaints are. I realise it's not a popular opinion, but I don't mind that.

fuck knowsWhat is the thread even about at this point?

Its a great book, and it does go into how memory can be faulty. But AFAIK only on a case by case basis not when triangulating several independent reports. Could be wrong though! Was a while ago
Racism will never go away whilst "RACIST" attack is the put at the start of every headline.
i do not for one minute doubt or dispute the fact racism exists (see other video!) but a hell of a lot of what we hear about is made up nonsense and not racist at all. As i said earlier, theyre doing a great job of widening the gap and making it woerst.
I've been to football games where bottles and bricks have been thrown, has nothing to do with race. If these lads were white and turned up with knives, i would fully expect the same outcome.
