Alan Smith-Liverpool fans never attacked ambulance


Recommended Posts

Yep. I called him out over it on twitter about a year ago and he's still sticking with his version.

 

This isn't the first time that Alan Smith has said it isn't true BTW. Not that c**ty b******s gives a toss.

I thought we always knew that. It was just mainly Daniel Taylor, wholly non-partisan pundit from the guardian, who pushed it.

 

That's my remembering of it anyway.

Paul Wilson in the Observer too.

 

We exchanged a good few emails...

I called Paolo Bandini out about this in a comment section of an article recently, the sentence disappeared soon after with no acknowledgment of it ever having been there.


Never or didn't?

Have you really never heard 'never' used in that context before?

Yeah of course. Just didn't know whether it was grammatically correct.

Couldn't the medical staff in the ambulance say it didn't happen and then end of the incident?

 

Think they were always the ones who were the alleged source of the claims, though it was all indirect and no quotes from them or anything.

 

Smith has refuted it before as others have said, and it has been explained away by him being out of it/sedated or something.

 

The Taylors and Wilsons of this world won't be rushing to retract. Taylor has already stood by the story after Smith's previous denial. I doubt they would even admit they were wrong if the lads in the ambulance come out and say the story was always b******s.

 

The opening line of Taylor's article at the time tells you all you need to know about his attitude to us.

He is absolutely vile - a horrible Nottingham scab who worships that drunken old liar Clough whilst at the same time wishing he was a Man Utd fan. Wilson is just a pathetic blues***e prick.

He is from Newark not Nottingham
