You have not seen the comments then? There are comments on this thread to the extent of what did they expect etc.

If the keeper saves it you have a pretty good idea that it could have gone in. If the shot is blocked then it is not really a shot on goal is it because it didnt reach the goal - hence not on target.

If he would rather play for the likes of Crystal Palace good luck to him.

The bloke is paid to be controversial. He is also paid to fill space. Job done as far as his editor is concerned. The article is nonsense. he sayds that Van Persie had a shot that was blocked that should have counted as a shot on target. Well if it was blocked it wasnt on target was it? He also said that Pelle's shot that came back off the post was lucky that if feel to Tadic. Well I would say that it was lucky for United that it hit the post and didnt go in. 3 points was the important stat and he knows that. He also knows and acknowledges that SFC are not a team that parks the bus. Koeman's tactics were spot on in this game as proved by the fact that we won the game. All the rest is hot air.

He texted Evans on his way to the hotel and said that he had a bird. Apparently the two mates outside the window tried to video the action but failed for some reason.

If so, how come his appeals failed? I wouldnt be so sure. And you may have read the notes from court but not the case notes. These are retained by the CPS and not released to the public.

I don't think anyone realistically thought that we would be in with a shout this season but who also would have thought that the likes of United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham would have been so poor (relatively)?

...

I agree and that is why we have an appeal system.

Perhaps they contain photos of Lovren with the caption - His head was in Liverpool and now his career is in the toilet - as a little reminder?

I would go with tickets...

So after every verdict should they say - We find the defendent guilty m'lud but remember that juries are not infalible so many people will still see the defendent as innocent?

Still a long way to go but the only teams I have seen this season who I would say are better than us are Chelsea and Manchester City.

There have been many good results Alpine. If you wish to slap an agenda on it that is your right. For me, I have just been impressed by the way the Board have got on with things and have melted away to let Ron and his team get on with it. They could have stayed in the spotlight and said We To You So but they have gone on doing what they do in the background, providing Ron the platform to get on with things. Ron is quite rightly getting a lot of the praise but he is just part of a bigger team and they are all playing their part.

I've seen comments where Charlie Hebdo has been held responsible for what happened because of what they have published. Isn't that like saying that if a girl goes out wearing sexy clothes she deserves to get raped? Nothing gives anyone the right to march into an office an execute people at their workplace.

Sorry but I dont agree. He was only convicted after the jury had the case presented to them. If they had made up their minds beforehand (and how can you when you havent heard and seen the evidence?) how come they aquitted his mate? Why also would the CPS "pull" the case? They already have a successful prosecution. If a retrial was ordered why would they not go ahead when they have already considered the evidence and felt that they have enough to prosecute and been proved right to do so? The Review Commission will need to decide if the case has been tried properly and unless they find that the judge is at fault at some point it is hard to see that it hasnt been. Don't forget that it has ben up for appeal before and got nowhere. The only question I can see as things stand is why his buddy got off.

I would say that being found guilty by a jury is pretty conclusive but we shall have to see what the review throws up.

Both competitions are important and there is little point playing if you aren't bothered about winning.

After the sh*tstorm last summer they quietly went about their job of reparing the damage and have since quietly disappeared into the background again to let Ron do his job. Mightily impressed with the way SFC is run and so good to see the club getting its just rewards.

But a foul in the box is a penalty. Pulling someone back by the shirt is as much as a foul as a trip.

Indeed. If you trip someone in the area you dont get warned that if you do it again it will be a penalty!

There are plenty of Christians that will kill you in a heart beat to.
