Please note that I quoted @nimma who is appropriately tagged in this post but i omitted some of his original post and replaced with some words of my own most notably "but this is blown way the ******** out of proportion"

As simply as I can say it, I think this bullshit.
a) I'm not passing other people's work as my own or evenimplying it in any way
b) I'm certainly not trying to make any financial gain or profit on the work of others.
So yeah, while I implicitely understand what plagiarism, it simply does not apply here.
I have for the most part posted links to articles that I post and will do so whenever applicable, because God forbid, I don't want to bring this whole ********ing place down....

With all due respect, it is up to the author of the original content to decide whether he thinks you are doing any of the above bolded. Usually the least authors/journalists expect is to be credited for the content they write.

@johno is a journalist so he is more an expert on these sort of things than I am. So he can perhaps shed more light if necessary.

With all due respect, what you're saying does not even make sense. I'm not a plagiarist and I resent the insinuation to be perfectly honest...
That's exactly what I'm talking about with things being constantly being taken too far when it comes to certain situations and people here, and the drama unnecessarily being turned all the way up.
As previously mentioned, I got you loud and clear on this regard and will no longer post opinion pieces, without the link to the original article. I would trust that to be the end of this at this point...

Anybody remember when sab tried pass of DS' youth report as his own?

Ashur, if they continue to nag and bitch over this dumb shit, just ignore them.

Please you hypocrites, let's move on.

Wow, all this for a forum with ~15 regulars and probably 50 unique member logins a day. Some perspective, please.

Wait until he steals your work, page hits and ad revenue.

Well...this was entertaining. Predicable, but entertaining.

What's the rule on photos then?

You should give credit to the source. In fact many photographers won't allow reuse of their image without consent from them. I do photography as a hobby and have had images of mine used by others and each time I was asked for permission to use my image, which I always granted as long as they gave me credit (which normally they say they will before you even mention it). This goes for our local paper using one of my images to someone simply reposting one of my Instagram pics.

It is pretty straightforward. If you lift someone's work without crediting them or at least linking to the page where it was published, you are in breach. The same is true if you post a link and the entire article. That's done because people posting stuff on their own websites want the traffic for their business.

I don't think it is a huge deal, but playing it off like posting a link with the whole article is enough or worse, posting stuff without listing the author OR a link is not doing anything wrong is spreading ignorance.

Bailly's true coming out party in the consciousness of United fandom.

SyedZada · Aug 20, 2016

He made a few mistake today but that is expected of someone so young and inexperienced.

Carrick on Bailly: “Nowadays, it’s not as common as it used to be, I think defenders in general, around the league, have been concentrating more on playing with the ball. Eric is a true defender. He played really well at Wembley and I am sure he is going to get better and better.”

Luke Shaw: "He’s so composed on the ball and at the right times he knows when to clear it or when to play out from the back. Defensively he’s been solid, no one’s got around him and I’m so happy that we have him here. He’s such a good player and from the last few games he’s a very important player for us now as well."

Loved his celebration yesterday - keep an eye out for number 3 sliding in with some excellent back surfing followed by some crowd surfing

Bailly's had a brilliant start but his celebration at Hull topped his performance #mufc pic.twitter.com/YYVrBkI1sc

To be honest, I had never heard of Bailly until we were linked with him. A shame we'll lose him for a month but that's a small price to pay for such an outstanding acquisition.

Can Bailly do/say anything wrong or to not endear him even more to United fans? In recent comments, he expressed how much he simply loves it at United and how much he hopes spending his whole career at the club. It's a long time for sure and who knows what can happen, but he sounds like a genuine guy who means what he says.
His humility and perspective are incredible as well as he also mentioned that he realizes how difficult it is to claim a spot as a regular but that basically, he wants to enjoy every moment because United are a great club and he's happy to be a part of it.
That, coupled with his obvious dedication and commitment on the pitch are the kind of stuff that will continue making him a firm fan favorite. My next jersey could very well be a Bailly one...
