1. No punctuation what so ever.

2. No capital letters on names/place names.
"then" used instead of "than".

3. Opening "sentence" (if you can call it that, as it's totally unpunctuated it's hard to differentiate between different sentences- it's essentially 2 points pushed together without connectives or punctuation) "it seems that wakie moan about anything then rather own club focusing on cas it bang out of order" makes no sense what so ever.

4. "new market" is all one word & correctly presented as "Newmarket" (notice the capital letter)

Level 2c- year 3- aged 7-8

If it wasn't for the phrase "it bang out of order" I'd be sure that came from a 7 year old!

Put it this way chum, don't go on "Are you smarter than a 10 year old?"

(10 min writing assessment in my break!)

Oh dear. If you are going to try and pick fault with the standard of written English, at least write accurately yourself.
(If you still haven't spotted the mistake - 'whatsoever' is one word in the context you are using it, not three.)
And titles (like 'Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old') should be punctuated with capital letters for key words.

And just to keep you up to speed in the world of education, as you appear to suggest you are a teacher (although I'm not too sure), level 2C is not the expected attainment for Year 3 (it's level 2a) - level 2C would be roughly the expected level for a year 1 (aged 5-6).
I hope you never teach my children.

I doubt he will reply to you for pointing the mistakes out.

Although I'm reticent to comment on this as it is an emotive subject and you can easily make yourself look foolish and more importantly upset someone you didn't intend to…. but I’ll give it a go:

Personally, it does mildly irritate me when I see obvious spelling mistakes and grammatical errors on here, and when I first started posting I corrected some.....but what I have realised since is that whatever the reason for the poor writing skills, the person is trying to make a point. If I'm part of a forum like this I am wanting to hear and swap opinions, and gossip if I'm being honest, not educating the world.
If it was a verbal exchange instead of written, it would be quite insulting for a well-spoken, perhaps more educated person to point out someone's accent and poor use of English language rather than continue the discussion, so we should treat this forum the same in my opinion.
It would be great if we could give grammar a go but I'll leave that to whoever is typing.

On the particular OP, I would firstly say, well done for posting. All should be welcome on here.
Saying that, entering into an already out of hand argument between Wakefield and Castleford forums was always going to get a slightly more pointed response so you have to be ready. The opinion you want to express is directly related to someone or a group so it is not going to be left hanging there without comment.
I'm sure mcmickeycas doesn't want to be treated as a victim, I’m sure he can handle himself, so all the self-righteous who are having a go at G.PFC need to think about the effect of carrying this torch too far.

I didn't quite understand but I'm assuming you are saying you have a form of autism McMickey. Of course that could mean many things but to be honest, the things picked up by G.Priice Fan Club could have been caused by typing quickly on a mobile. I know I've been there so you are no different to the rest of us in reality.
As it happens, I don't agree with your post. I think Mr Wright has done something wrong, but you are entitled to your opinion and I'll defend your right to do so.
Like everybody else on here, you just have to be wary that when you write something down, it can be misinterpreted just because it is written and not spoken. I'm sure GPFC thought he was just arguing with another fan that he had already been arguing with about this subject and so reacted in a different way than to if he'd known you were new to the forum.
He’s not the only one who has over reacted on this subject, on both sides and I'm sure he regrets it now!
I hope it hasn't put you off posting....especially on your own board. We really should be keeping to our own sides of the fence (and yes I see the irony of my post

and just to prove the point it's taken me ages to write that as I kept making errors!

It was plain to see for anyone that the OP was a first time poster but as usual, (more so on this forum) Sandal G. Price Wildcat Fan Club jumped in with both feet, all guns blazing, to show his "superiority".

Im sure he does regret it! but only because he has been shown in his true light.

I don't disagree with your comment.
If you come on to another team board and attack someone you'd better be right and you'd better be prepared for a backlash. Neither was the case here so you get what you get. I've no sympathy I just don't want anyone else feeling awkward in th ecrossfire either.

Still no apology then?

Indeed - it was an unfortunate episode, but unless the OP has volunteered to be the RLFans cause celebre, it's bordering on distasteful to use him as a stick to beat one WTW fan round the head; it begins to look like those people who are offended on his behalf might have their own agenda...

To the OP - I work with people with autism and other learning disabilities, and am in the process of arranging for a group of lads and their supporters to attend WTW games next season; come and say hello - you'll get a warm welcome at Belle Vue
