I like to think of myself as polite on here generally. Never been accused of being boring. The two don't by necessity go hand in hand. The trust thing has been done to death by you I would politely request that you give it a rest as it adds nothing to the quality and enjoyment of this site You do in fairness raise some good and interesting points on other subjects, but then sadly invariably return to your favourite topics - decrying the trust and defending the recently departed owners |
| Forum Reply | Derby County v Swansea City : Match day thread UPDATED ⚽️ at 22:30 27 Nov 2024
Didn't see the game so can't comment. Except to say we won. As for deserving it, well didn't deserve to lose to Burnley or Leeds. As for a certain poster's comment about not liking the manager, all I can say is Harry Gregg was probably the last manager we had you liked? Especially as several since have played tipi tapi football ( Martinez and Laudrup spring to mind? ) |

Just rewatched their 2nd and 3rd goals. 2nd goal looked like two or three players looked offside at the moment the ball was played forward 3rd goal as the ball was struck to go long to the Leeds player,he looked way offside, even though he wasn't by the time he received the ball. With VAR one or both those goals would have been ruled out |

Is that the same Cullen who scored two and made two for Cymru last week and also scored yesterday? Perhaps with better players around him he would be even more successful ? |

I agree. Yes he got us into the playoffs twice. Yet look at Gareth Southgate. He went close a few times with England yet failed to win anything so doubt too many England fans cried at his departure?? |

Whatever Keith. All that should have waited until after Wembley. Had he motived the team properly that day and got us promoted, he would have been in a much stronger position to discuss new terms. He let the supporters, the players, staff and himself down with his lack of application that day |

All teams pass back at times and pass out from the back - even most amateur sides. We are far better than we were under Martin We definitely deserved at least a point today |

What on earth as how he looks got to do with anything? And what gives you, me or anyone else the right to judge his looks ? I feel resentful about the way things went during his tenure, especially the farcical events surrounding Wembley, but would not slur him personally |

Fair does. Your views are off the wall sometimes (?) but that is an excellent gesture to two young families. Many landlords would charge the earth regardless |

I can only imagine the barrister manages it thus: The system allows this murderer to appeal. Using public money. The upside is that the fact that it is possible for such a career criminal to appeal also means that I am able to represent those wrongly convicted who have no financial means themselves to get legal representation. So whilst I may not be happy representing this criminal, it at least means I can fight for those I believe were wrongly convicted. Also whilst I might be representing this career criminal today, at least next time I may be helping to prosecute someone charged with an equally serious crime. |

I am not for one minute suggesting this lowlife doesn't deserve to rot in jail until his dying day. All I am stating is the law is the law and everyone has a right for it to be applied fairly. Defending lawyers and QCs can only act on the information supplied to them by the CPS and the accused. If I told my lawyer I was guilty of a crime, they can only then look to present any mitigating circles. They could not try to suggest I hadn't done it. However if I pleaded my innocence, then it is their job to do their best to present the evidence to back up my case. Both sides ( we trust ) work within the framework that the British justice system sets out. Unlike us members of the public who see all the details of a case virtually from the moment the crime happens and make an instant decision based on whatever we see, read or hear on TV, newspapers, radio or more often now through social media, the courts amd those within them reach a verdict purely on the evidence presented before them. Innocent until proven guilty is still the maxim we should all live by and the defence lawyers are there to play their part and ensure that is adhered to. They have to set aside their own personal feelings about the accused and the case. Otherwise where would any of us be ? So there is no moral dilemma. It would be equally easy to say why do the police not arrest all the people who we witness openly breaking the law daily ( dealing drugs, causing mayhem and violence, being drunk and disorderly etc ). However, as with the courts, we expect them to do their jobs fairly and with a balanced attitude |

The latter part shows the vicious circle some are in. You need an address to register with Jobseekers club, you cannot get or look for a job as you have no address Plus you cannot (as I used to in my thankfully brief times of looking for work ) just walk in and look.at the board and say " I'll give that a go" Nowadays you have to attend several meetings then sign a contract agreeing you will apply for endless jobs you do not want and will not get in the hope that you get the job you actually want ( and some money in the meantime) The last time I became unemployed was a shock to me as I was told to do all of the above and attend clubs to show me how to apply for jobs ( which I had already perfected long before ) I didn't re attend the Job Centre ( or whatever it was called ), claimed no money, used a sizeable chunk of my late wife and my savings and got a job under my own steam I feel sorry for those who genuinely want to work as it is not made easy for them. |

Rightly or wrongly (given the fact that a poor innocent girl died) he is appealing against the fact that the judge placed too much emphasis on his previous bad character, his lack of remorse and his failure to appear for sentencing. Whilst to you and me the first is not good and the second and third are deplorable, they are not in themselves reasons to sentence him to a longer than normal sentence. Whilst he clearly went with the intent to kill, it appears he never actually intended to kill the little girl. The fact that he did is deplorable and all his actions are something you and I can never understand. However the judge is different and should ensure the case is judged on it's merit, not on passion. All that being said, I hope he rots in jail until his dying day and lives a long life to make sure of it Law allowing of course |
