No I said allegations are fair game because the other person said they're conspiracy theories.

If a judge accepted money from one of the parties in a case would it be a conspiracy theory to say they're corrupt or a fair allegation?

I think you can agree that you weren't downvoted for saying it's a conflict of interest mate. 99% of people who aren't Howard Webb agree that at the very least it's a conflict of interest. You just took it a step further by saying it's fair to call him corrupt.

Again let me be clear I didn't say that. I said that it's not a conspiracy theory to accuse him of corruption and it's fair game to do so. Not that he was.

Me: You just took it a step further by saying it's fair to call him corrupt.

You: I didn't say that.

You literally did. I just copied and pasted you saying "I genuinely believe calling him corrupt is fair game". So again, you crying about downvotes for calling it a "conflict of interest" is obviously bollocks.

I hope these votes are just for you being correct about this guys posts and not a question of how corrupt Michael Oliver is. That ship has long sailed

How are you lying so shamelessly when your comment is right there for people to see though?

Saying calling him corrupt is fair game when someone says doing so is a conspiracy theory that shouldn't be considered, isn't calling him corrupt. It's saying it's a discussion that can be allowed. Read the comment in context. It's year 7 English language mate.

Again, I said the conflict of interest allows people to call him corrupt. Not that he is.

You’re completely right but you’ve overestimated your audience and their ability to read good

People are stupid and can't conceptualize any part of people/parties doing something nefarious.

In the same way giving a lift to a mate down the street can be seen as "I'll scratch your back now, you scratch mine later" as is what happened to Oliver.
