Most would like to think they know what it is, except of course, for those like minded with Trump who prefer the alternative facts to the real ones.

We have been told Marshall is ill which is why he's not playing. Roos has performed very well in his place.

I have taken that story to be the truth, the proper variety.

Someone on FB asked why Marshall was missing again today at QPR so I trotted the DCFC narrative.

Somebody replied "there's more to it than that" and a few others agreed, adding that he has refused to play due to not getting paid.

So, which is the truth and which is the alternative fact?

I don't know........ probably never will.
