The Ref Stop

Just weird - Verratti

Yes but you've just totally mis-characterised what I said - in fact you've more or less reversed it. I didn't say every kick is a pass - what I said is that a pass with the foot is a kick. It's the same logical fallacy as if I said that a labrador is a dog and you accuse me of saying that every dog is a labrador.

In fact, you've managed the fairly clever trick of cramming two logical fallacies into one short sentence, you've used a straw man argument that in itself, contains a syllogism.

Anyway, English lesson aside, you said there is no difference between a pass and a kick to GK - there is!
 
The Ref Stop
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

I'm out!!!:rolleyes:
