I'm not sure it's illegal, but it's certainly bad form. I've edited out the wholesale copy and paste that was on here.

The Times allows people to read articles where the link has been shared. That's their chosen model, currently, to allow people to get a taster and, hopefully, subscribe.

Please do not copy and paste whole articles on NSC. If something's good - post a taster and a link. Direct people to the source in order that they benefit from page views and ad impressions.

All very well in theory, but if I click the link I get this :

That was so poorly written it made me sad to read it, so much so that it nearly brought a tear to my eyes. Bloody crap journo's!😋

I have no idea about the link as it worked fine for me earlier and posted to NSC's FB timeline it has 703 reactions, 63 comments and 90 shares. So it must have been working if it's not now.

The only theory that really matters here is it's poor to steal someone else's work and publish it elsewhere.

I popped into our local library as I normally do every lunchtime. (it backs on to our office).

I read the Times (as I usually do)

Very uplifting piece.

It might be because of tapatalk? I can still read it, via the link on my pc.

Could be, I'll check on pc in a minute. I'm abroad at the moment so that might be a factor too

Luckily I read the full copy/paste before [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] killed it [emoji106][emoji106]

Good to see it didn't stop you having a pop though.

I reckon The Times' technology creates a unique URL each time someone tries to share it and there's a time limit on it.

This link from the middle of the thread, for example, seems to work for me: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/th...5677fea2f32b42

Will do. Apologies for copying and pasting the article on this thread.

I used to read the Times Online all the time, till it went to subscription. Their sports coverage is excellent.

The Leicester fans comments are interesting, there's a lot of love for him still from the Foxes.

I fancy that if the Albion ever did have a wobble this season Knockaert would get us back on track, he's a man on a mission.

It is blocked now and I will have to subscribe in order to read it, but I get the gist.

If you sign up you get two free articles before you have to subscribe.

I'm not ashamed to say that I sat at a work computer reading the article, and was blubbing my eyes out by the time I'd finished it. Fortunately I'm working at the remote church office today, as I was waiting for a boiler engineer. Colleagues (who though lovely largely have no interest in football) might have wondered why I was in tears. My boss walked in a short while ago, but he was so busy moving stuff around he didn't notice. It shows that as well as team spirit, there is real love at this club. Long may it continue.

Really will be like a fairytale happy ending if we go up. Or one of Shakespears great tragedies if not. One of the two.


Great article, don't read this and the Ronaldihno letter close together though, bloody rollercoaster.

As one of the few Working Blokes on NSC :moo:

Can someone tell me in a short sentence how I can read the whole article without signing away my life savings (currently £20.00 less tax)
