A posting by me earlier today about the Frank Lampard / James O’Brien story was just wrong in important respects, so I have deleted it. Thanks to those who so promptly let me know.

Apologies.

It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
Johann von Goethe

Couldn’t have put it better myself.
