So if you didn’t lie, are you saying you just made a mistake on your supposed forte, Italian football and got it wrong?

[backinatracksuit]

Can’t say fairer than that.

[Nembo_Kid]

The subject was Messi’s performances in the Champions League against Italian opposition.

[Gman]

Fuck sake. You’re a boring stubborn cunt. Just say you fucked up and move on.

[Nembo_Kid]

I’ve done nothing wrong, I’ve been vindicated and you’re asking me to tell lies?

[Nembo_Kid]

Sorry guys, it’s actually 4 in 17, I believe.

Even more vindicated.

[Gman]

So you were wrong, again.

[Nembo_Kid]

I’m right.

I’ve been vindicated.

@backinatracksuit

Did you make a mistake then? Because unless Geoff doctored those clips to some extraordinary level it’s quite obvious that he’s right and you’re wrong. Why do you refuse to answer the allegation?

@backinatracksuit

Were you mistaken, did you lie, or were you correct and Geoff’s evidence is fraudulent?

@Nembo_Kid

I didn’t lie to the forum.

@Nembo_Kid

Unless Geoff has doctored evidence to show Messi regularly doing it against Italian sides then I think you’ll see has proven nothing.

@GeoffreyBoycott

I’ve proven that by June 2015, Messi had scored from open play in three games against Italian sides in the European Cup when you were asserting that it was an ‘irrefutable fact’ that he had only scored from play in one such game.

@Nembo_Kid

Geoff is incorrect

@backinatracksuit

Can’t say fairer than that.

After just completing a full audit of @Nembo_Kid posts after getting caught out on the number of games in which Messi had scored against Italian opposition in June 2015, I’ve unearthed a post from 7 June 2015, in which @Nembo_Kid conceded that he got it wrong and I was right. He just forgot. Almost two years on he’s now resiled from his concession that he got it wrong and is saying that I was incorrect. He really needs to be honest to the forum about what his position is on this. Here’s the post from 7 June 2015.

@Nembo_Kid

So it’s in fact 3 games in 13 as opposed to 1 in 11. I forgot about last year.

You’re all insane

[Juhniallio]

So you lied to us repeatedly. I thought you believed in facts.

[Nembo_Kid]

Incorrect.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Untrue

[gilgamboa]

I find the insistence on ‘open play’ hilarious. Did he score a heap of free kicks or corners?
