Last Seasons Battle Against Relegation

[David Gwilliam]

In August last year people were concerned that all Nigel had brought in was a third choice left back. It has been interesting to read what members were saying at the time in a thread called "Great Expectations?" and a later thread after the game against Monaco called "Is anybody else worried?"

I will not name the prophets of doom though it is easy to look them up. The previous season we had a wafer thin squad and had since lost Kane and Keane (sic). "There will be nothing doing this season" "Won't do much this season" "The club is screwed we have no money to improve while Forest are buying decent players left right and centre" "Vardy is not good enough" and on and on.

There were two exceptions to the gloom.
Homer made a post that had no point whatever but still included an obscenity.
Perhaps wisest of all was M17 who pointed out that many of us expected promotion under Sven and so he was happy that so many people felt we were doomed.

We're doomed!

Are you quoting somebody there David, or are you actually sic?

Yes you did well. In retrospect I should have put you up there with M17. Your positive posts were not typical of the majority view..

The last post on the "Is anyone else worried" thread was
Worried, Is an understatement, I am not normally negative, but I think we are going to be humiliated this season

 

[Blaarev]

I'm proud, and a bit surprised, about my concern for the rest of you lot.

 

[FryattFox]

And judging by the predictions thread, most people are quite optimistic about this season. Soooo....

(sic) is used when dealing with documents that contain an error. It is to make clear that the error is in the original document and is not a misquotation. In this case Fox From The Hudd wrote of Keane (as in Roy) when he should have written Keen (as in Michael).

In this case Fox From The Hudd wrote of Keane (as in Roy) when he should have written Keen (as in Michael).

But his name is Michael Keane.

But his name is Michael Keane.

Brilliant.

Damn it you are right and Macky was correct to question the original (sic) I owe Fox From The Hudd an apology.

Brilliant.

Fom other peoples point of view it is "brilliant" from mine it is "Oh dear".

I doubt we'll get promoted this season

Macky was correct to question the original (sic)

It was a questionable use of 'sic', even without the confusion over the spelling of 'Keane'.
Did you just use it as a way to provoke a reaction?
