Jury's are a dozen people who have no idea about law*... I should know, I've been a juror!
As we have a jury-led system the judge has to abide by it. I'm sure over the years they've been frustrated with verdicts given, whether guilty or not guilty.
In the, quite serious, case I was on the judge made it clear that he will abide by our decision. After five days of the case, when the verdict was given he didn't give any reaction, just made notes and ended the case.
*except the ones who are lawyers but that's probably 0.001% over the course of the year. [Post edited 11 Feb 18:24]

I think it's only deemed a mahoosive shock because of the sheer dominance of the old firm, which actually illustrates the problem of Scottish football.
That sort of result happens all the time south of the border without quite the same reaction. |

I know as much about golf as I do about rugby but as LIV was created by the Saudi Public Investment Fund I suspect it's all about the $$$£££ |

Sadly not as I think Steeeevieee Geeeee would need to pay a massive tax bill if he gets employed back in the UK within a certain time frame (2 years possibly?). It's why Henderson went to Ajax and not back to an English club. |

Wayne Rooney's Derby, again?
Clearly did a massive job last time around and was only hampered by the points deduction (except that they were actually still schit, that seems to get glossed over) that he deserves another chance to show his true potential. |

Agree about the interesting use of the reggae trimming but that kit is 10000000000000000000x better than the urine one will ever be. |

Sub-title says 'late goal' and it got me thinking..... what's the cut-off point for a goal being considered late? IMO 74 mins isn't late as there's roughly still 20 mins (almost a quarter of the game) to play.
Seen many a report where a goal is scored in the 82nd minute but 10 minutes of added time were played so the goal was really almost 20 minutes before the end but the report usually screams "LATE GOAL SINKS xxxxxxx"

Can't see beyond a Liverpool v Newcastle final but if it was Spurs v Newcastle it would be great simply because they are both so utterly desperate for a trophy that one of them will still lose. |

That's kind of my point and I'm not the one who's worried.
I think the point is that people should be a bit more understanding/trusting about the signings that are made and not dissect them to atomic level.
Speculation is OK but it's just that. In reality we simply do not know. Don't bother quoting click-bait websites as a source, they're just speculative too. |

Our Head-to-Head results v Blackburn are not very good; P60 W18 D12 L30
Here's hoping for W19 as of tonight but I think it'll be a draw. |

They're both a risk. All signings are a risk. See 'Richard Ord'. |

As said, it's a balancing act and a difficult one at that. The club has been lambasted many times for giving out 5 year contracts where it backfired.... SWP for one, and there are plenty of others from that time, and Taylor Richards in the here and now (though 3 years is not as bad as 5 but we've still come unstiuck)
It's a massive game of risk where so many things can go wrong;
long contract> players phones it in/gets injured/loses form/doesn't give a scht and we're stuck with that player.
How many times have we seen around transfer windows people say "xxxx player is rubbish, we should sell them" - well, if they are rubbish what club is going to buy them? And if they do, it'll probably be at a loss to us.
Short contract> player becomes the new Messi and we lose him for nowt.
Easy for us to sit here and say the club should do this and do that when there is no pressure on us whatsoever regarding the outcome. Try making those decisions when your neck is on the line, I wouldn't want to! |
