As I previously stated its easy to make these judgements in the cold clinical environment of a court room. We will have to agree to disagree - I just find the rush by certain people - yourself included - to condemn the man undignified and distasteful particularly when most of those people have no experience of the kind of pressures these men and women operate under but are happy to accept the freedoms they safeguard without question.

Let's have it right - he wasnt a prisoner he was an enemy combatant still on the battlefield, and he wasn't shot coldly he was shot in the aftermath of a heated battle during a tour of duty that cost 7 of sgt Blackmans comrades their lives. You can 'merely suggest' all you like but you made a generalisation about people that defend this country's interests year in year out 24 hours a day. Shame on you.

What qualifies you to know the motivation for people joining the armed forces and to refer to them as psychopaths? Shame on you, What has the reason for being in Afghanistan got to do with any of this? From memory we went in because bin laden and his terrorist associates were planning mass murder in well established training camps - plans that resulted in the death of thousands of innocent people at 911 and subsequently here in 2005. The 'victim' as you call him was an enmy combatant who would have killed those Royal Marines without a Second thought if the roles had been reversed.

As I said earlier it is easy in hindsight - be it on your sofa or in the cold clinical environment of a court room. The country's most senior military judge is basically a barrister who joined the navy to practice law there, dealing with military discipline matters - he has also ruled previously on such weighty matters as the rugby bloodgate nonsense forbthe RFU - not someone I imagine has seen much in the way of frontline action. I haven't previously mentioned 'liberal do-gooders' they're your words ....

I refer you to my earlier comment - can I come and live in your ideal world? They are out there fighting against terrorists that don't acknowledge the existence of the Geneva convention let alone follow its rules, he watched his comrades butchered by these animals who then hung their body parts in trees as a warning. It is very easy to judge from the comfort of your living room with the benefit of hindsight, but you live in a democracy where you can make those judgements and publish them on forums like this because of people like Sgt Blackman RM. Not sure why your job title is relevant to this discussion but well done for working with kids - you are not unique in saying if you messed up at work you'd have to face the consequences that is the same for all of us. However if you work in a war zone where people are trying to kill you day in day out and in some cases succeeding your perspective and decision making responses are a bit different than deciding whether to have a rich tea or digestive with your mug of tea at morning break.

Can I come and live in your ideal world mate? What utter nonsense, the man was out there to fight terrorism and sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. ... 42 commando lost 7 men during that tour. Sgt Blackman has been hung out to dry.

On the back of the KL thread - Bali?
at 07:50 8 Sep 2012

Try and get to ubud, it is very cultural, there is a monkey forest there and it is a lovely place. If you don't mind travelling for an hour get a boat to Nusa lembongan, a small island off Bali the snorkelling and diving there are the best I have ever seen, we stayed there overnight and it cost next to nothing and was well worth missing out on our hotel for a night. Kuta is just costa del sol for the Aussies, so probably not worth it tbh, oh and haggle your arse off when buying anything!

He could have sat at rangers on big dough for three years, fair play to him for not doing that, think the rush to condem him his a bit over the top tbh. He's got his issues but he's exactly the type of player we are missing at the moment and he played a big part in keeping us up. Hope it works out for him.

Non QPR - Ian Tomlinson
at 23:15 19 Jul 2012

Agree or not, there were only 12 people able to make a decision having heard all available evidence and they found him not guilty. That is the system we have and whilst it is not perfect it is the same for everyone and is a damn sight fairer than any other country in the world. I agree it seems a strange decision but no one here as heard all the facts like the jury did.

Tbh they are more involved and engaged with the fans than they have been for a long long time, the ticket prices couldn't really be sorted until we knew what league we would be in and the POTY would have been a nightmare if things hadn't gone our way, think the club got this one about right. All positive here.

Is Barton trying to end his career?!
at 00:02 14 May 2012

What by criticising a pundit? Hardly career threatening . . . He admits he fcked up, draw a line under it, we have stayed up that's what we should be talking about.

at 23:59 13 May 2012

I agree it wasn't pretty and didn't look great and he will know he was out of order BUT he has been very very good lately we wouldn't even have had the chance to stay up but for some of his performances at home. Tevez did a job on him and Aguero was straight in his face, he made a mistake in the heat of the game. He is a QPR player - get behind him.
