I'm about to go to bed in a minute as I've not long got home from Liverpool, which let me tell you is a hell hole!!
I'll do the marking tomorrow night I swear and will be more punctual with it in future.
Apologies, I've been a bit busy.

Micky posted the week 18 scores on 14-01-05, he didn’t post the week 17 scores.------------------------------------------------

Does the League Committee have any rules about when they should publish scores and tables on the forum?

we are still waiting on the results!

They were posted last night, so shut the **** up or do them yourselves.

Micky’s response related to the week 18 scores been posted by himself, as he didn’t realise he hadn’t done the week 17 scores.
Gio and Hearts_Ultra were entitled to ask and complain about the scores not been posted for week 17.
Micky assumed Gio and Hearts_Ultra were talking about week 18, which had already been posted by Micky, Micky did not realise Gio and Hearts_Ultra were talking about week 17. Considering Micky was under the assumption that Gio and Hearts_Ultra were talking about week 18, Micky is not considered to have been unprovoked in his response, even though ultimately he was in the wrong for not marking week 17 and only marking week 18, it was not of his knowing and is viewed as a genuine mistake.
It seems up to now, it has just been a misunderstanding as Gio and Hearts_Ultra have been referring to week 17 and Micky has been referring to week 18.------------------------------------------------

So where is the table? This is a bit like the FA - no criticism allowed of seemingly shabby performance; promises made and then broken; inefficiency and delay.
------------------------------------------------
It is unreasonable to expect Michael to have done the table by this stage even if both week 17 and 18 had been done the previous night. Unknown to Micky and Gio, Michael was actually waiting for Micky’s week 17 scores. Under the circumstances, Gio seems to be frustrated at this stage and from his point of view is entitled to complain.OVERALLIt has just been a misunderstanding. It seems members were referring to different weeks than other members, but everyone assumed they were all talking about the same week. No-one has breeched any of the disciplinary rules. Gio and Hearts_Ultra were entitled to complain, but Micky’s only crime was to post the scores for week 17 a week after the matches had been played. Micky did use a bit of unsavoury language, but it was seen as a provoked response due to his perception that it was in response to scores he had posted. Gio and Hearts did not provoke intentionally as they were referring to week 17, whereas Micky was referring to week 18.
The most unsavoury part of this misunderstanding was other members who were involved and didn't realise Micky, Gio and Hearts_Ultra were talking about different weeks, acting as a “third man”, taking pot-shots at Micky and basically hopping on the “bandwagon”, this is usually done by people who are unable to start-up and sustain an argument completely on their own. There are no disciplinary rules for this, however it is frowned upon. If members don’t understand completely what is been talked about, don’t get involved, as taking pot-shots doesn’t show a high level of intelligence usually and certainly not in this case.
