I genuinely have no idea why you are still banging on about this. I didn’t refer to anyone as a “tw@t”. I think you’re letting your friendship with Garth cloud any sense of perspective. There is nothing to apologise for. Whether he was referring to Chris Broad or David Bairstow, it was a totally unnecessary slur. I don’t expect Garth to do anything other than double down and obfuscate. That’s what he does. It’s deliberate (as in on here). In real life, I doubt he’d even go there. No apology from me. And I’m not “learned”. That’s reserved for the other part of the profession. You clearly insinuated that the post from Garth was referring to the tragic passing of David Bairstow, which it blatantly wasn’t. Admit it, stop your posh words and legal references (Garth can compete with you on that front, but I admittedly cannot) Go on, just admit you got it wrong - is it that difficult ? You might even be respected for it.

What a deeply unpleasant thing to write. He took his own life. May not have been a model individual, but then who is. He obviously had his demons. Strikes me that that post says far more about you than anyone else. "What a deeply unpleasant thing to write. He took his own life." This is a disgrace, Burrows. I made no such implication. You know you've fecked up here in an attempt to blacken my character. I walked into a public house in Weobley this evening where a chap I don't even know came up to me and told me that he was disgusted that my name had been traduced in this manner. I referred to Broad: you can check the name Bairstow was incidental at the start of another poster's comment. I hope you manage to conduct yourself with a little more accuracy in your professional life. That is what you have asserted: "What a deeply unpleasant thing to write" in connection with my name - when I haven't. I am happy to concede that you may well have been referring to Broad. I conceded that pretty well straight away. I still stand by the “deeply unpleasant thing to write” whether you were referring to Broad (as you maintain) or Bairstow. Or indeed anyone. So no apologies for taking exception at what you wrote. To be fair, you have delighted in engaging in this sort of behaviour on here for years. The boy who cried wolf springs to mind today. The fact remains that you wrote the post in the first place. Not me, or anyone else. And, as has been pointed out elsewhere, it was sufficiently ambiguous to lead to all this unpleasantness.

You might even be respected for it. Oh bloody hell. I conceded that I may have misinterpreted it within a matter of minutes. Have a look at the thread. It’s all there. I’m not apologizing for taking exception at what he wrote, whoever he may have directed it at.

Is this where 'silly mid off' comes from? I've never understood cricket. I’d stay well away, Mike. It goes on and on and on…

You're a disgrace, Burrows. You wouldn't be "conceding" anything if you weren't in a polemical setting. I simply wrote that Broad senior was a tw@t "n" all. Which he was. On the cricket field.
Have you not seen this kind of language on this forum before? I've got plenty of examples of the lies about a former chairman's criminality. Nicely backed up with their real and usernames.

His old man was a tw@t 'n' all. Just to assist-you wrote the above. No mention of Broad, no mention of on the cricket pitch. I accept that you subsequently explained what you meant. I apologise if I misinterpreted your original post. I still think it was an unnecessarily unpleasant thing to write, and I was not alone in misinterpreting it. Fair enough?

No, not fair enough at all. Too much filibustering.
You know you've fecked up. You know I was referring to Broad Senior, not Bairstow Senior. If you don't you're thick and wilfully traducing my name.

Have you bothered reading anything I’ve written or are you too busy playing the victim now?
Either way, I’ve offered an apology for my misunderstanding. If you’re too graceless to accept it, nothing more I can say.
Done with this now.

It's typical of you to call a spade a spade!

Given the degree of detail in the photo , I can't see the point of this argument.

Really surprised that Australia agreed to the request from ECB to weaken their team for this match up to give stupidball a chance of winning to make the series more interesting and ensure higher ticket sales.

Aren't you being a bit polemical?

Broady wearing a headband at Headingley. Broady wearing a headband at Wimbledon.
