my first ever game at the dell and indeed watching the saints, I remember it very well even after all these years!

good man Andy !

Perhaps we miss the point, it may well be the question they ask themselves is the person a FAPP to own the particulare club in question. In the cases we have seen so far for that wonderful club for the skates from turd town with owners ranging from child maimers to bank cheats perhaps these are FAPP to own that club!

They may have urged tougher sentences but it is not outside "normal law regulations" just sentencing within the bands the law allows. Considering the outcome to the riots that actually happened 4 years for incitment to riot seems about right to me.

or perhaps a case for more stringent sentencing for kidnap, theft, possesion of child porn etc...?

Interesting, on C4 news this evening I think they suggested across the country only 7% (memory could be worng) chose to give an occupation to the court. I suspect the media simply highlight those that are in work.

and those defending the streets of Southall were predominantly Sikh's and those defending the streest in Dalston (where my son is) were predominantly Turkish origin - where does that get us? People are the same whatever colour or creed, some good some bad and most just want to get on with their lives and do the best for their families.

I agree it is a little strange but when I was in Goa a few years ago the chef in a local restaurant I talked with said that they were all trained to prepare (including at the local college) both Indian and Chines cuisine.

Does anyone have a view - if (and I assume they will) the Murdochs et al get a hammering next week in front of the MP's will they then be able to get away from any subsequent court appearances should there be a need for one by saying they would not be able to have a "fair trial" since they had already been "tried and convicted" by the MP committee and a non prejudicial jury would not be possible? Why I ask is that the papers had a field day with the innocent landlord of the girl who was murdered last Christmas in Bristol and the view seemed to be that their comments would have prejudiced a fair trial, wonder if the Murdochs & Brooks could use the same argument?

Well done Mike and be proud of your efforts for Markus and the Saints, (ignore the smart 4rse comments, their comments reflect their small minds)

A "bribe" could be a back hander now or could be a job down the line - no differnce to me. I was not disagreeing with you simly pointing out it goes on in many differnet guises and yes the current crop in power will I ma sure follow the same tendencies as the previos crop.

You are right and is no different to the various Labour ministers who cosied up to private industry when in power and as soon as they could took up lucrative postions with them - gone on since time began and will continue to do so.

but how do you measure happiness, on the public or private scale ?!?

Lucky enough to get 4 tickets for the footie final at Wembley & 4 tickets for the boxing finals at Excel but nothing for the new Olympic venues, judging by the comments in the media I think I was very fortunate.
