Lol the end of a Herald article today!
"Having made the first of the many breaks that Scotland failed to capitalise on because their players failed to do their jobs, Jim Hamilton, the Scotland lock, seemed utterly focused on improving on their efforts when he spoke after the match. Yet, within a couple of days, he was apparently sufficiently satisfied that things were back on course to feel able to critique the work of others.
"Just to confirm that there is no-one unsettled in the Scotland camp. The guy who wrote the piece in The Hearald (sic) has made up his own story," he asserted.
As "the guy" in question, let me reprint the words Hamilton used, as published in not only The Herald, but several other newspapers on Monday, inviting you to draw your own conclusion.
"I don't think it is about chopping and changing. We saw that, at the World Cup, with all the chopping and changing, guys were unsettled," he said.
Unlike the current Scotland rugby team, The Herald has a global reputation for accuracy. So, in the interests of maintaining our standards, I admit to unfamiliarity with a medium designed for those who do not have the attention span to deal in paragraphs, sentences or even, it seems, words rather than characters.
Consequently, I'm not sure whether I should be referring to Hamilton's tweets, tweeting or twittering. To avoid using the wrong terminology, then, let's just settle for hoping that, this time around, he and some of his team-mates manage to avoid playing like tw*ts."

So because Hamilton said that the Scottish players were unsettled during the World Cup by lots of changes during the World Cup, "the guy" can use the quote for any time?
