In our edition of 9 May 2008 under the headline “Fair Kop” we stated that Rafa Benitez had exposed Martin O’Neill by contradicting claims he had made at an earlier press conference. It was not our intention to imply that Martin O’Neill had lied to the press and we are happy to set the record straight.

Tugboating hell. That’s exactly what you intended to do. At least have the decency to set the record completely straight by printing MON’s version as truth.
