  1. Tsk. I just hope that the will of the loyal thousands transforms the world of critics as well as theirs in The Great Awakening. 🙂
  2. Not a good weekend for glorious former leaders. Trump indicted, Johnson quits before he's pushed, and Sturgeon now arrested https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65871857 Sadly there are many questions regarding the investigation, the timescales (this was raised 3 odd years ago now) and the closeness of the police, lord advocate, attorney general to the ruling party. So, despite this step, things these people consider to be inconveniences, like truth and justice, may mean we never know the truth and they may never get what they deserve.
  3. Martin gets to pick from 3 ultrasound scans, for each position, who SR are sure will bring in massive sell on profits in the future. 🙂
  4. It is from wiki, but... "When the appellant [Ched Evans] was first asked what happened in room 14, he described in graphic detail the sexual behaviour of a woman who, on the prosecution case, would have been incapable of behaving in that way. If the jury rejected his account of her sexual behaviour, he had no defence. Two other men have described specific instances of her behaving in a very similar fashion with them, in the days before the alleged rape and in the days that followed. On each occasion she had been drinking, she is said to have instigated certain sexual activity, directed her sexual partner into certain positions, and used specific words of encouragement." Details of a complainant's sexual history are not usually admissible, but there is an exception, reiterated (upheld) on appeal in the Law Reports, for evidence which is "so similar [to the defence's account] that the similarity cannot reasonably be explained as a coincidence" Although I'm sure SOG wasn't influenced by it, the entry does say that The Guardian were not convinced, suggesting the new witnesses were fed information and that there were financial incentives for them. These claims were rejected by the jury.
  5. Your kids have that much?! Pocket money gone mad, when kids can hire their own football managers. Why, when I were a lad, you'd have to work double shifts for months down pit, and still not have enough to hire a physio! 🙂
  6. All parties will have an understanding that he moves on when the right offer comes in, and that we're a club looking to provide a pathway to bigger clubs. So, he's open enough about a move, but if it's not this summer is happy enough to wait. It's a statement that reminds clubs that there's interest, while making it clear he's not being dragged kicking and screaming to us next season. He kept the right balance in there.
  7. £1.25 of a difference in the figures between Prem and Championship. So a decent amount. In their heads SR can wait and offset it against the millions they paid for Jones.
  8. Or even three.
