Didnt he say before that those matters were down to Reed and the new manager?

I see the Usual Suspects are at it again. Why not wait and see what he has to say before you start having a pop at him?

I wonder if a jury would have found not guilty of murder. The judge seemed to give him a great deal of benefit of the doubt over a number of issues.

Nonsense. (You sound like one of the embittered policemen who get upset when we have to drop a case when they don't produce the evidence we have been promised)

I work for the CPS and we would be very unhappy with this verdict. The prosecutor had a lot to work with but often stumbled over his words. At other times he seemed to be playing to the gallery and way over confident. The thing for me is that she was 3 metres away when he said that he called for her to call the police but she didn't respond whilst behind the toilet door. Not a word. When the prosecutor made that point he got his wording wrong and it lost its impact. Pistorius was used to handling guns and would have known what the effect of shooting dum dum bullets through the door would have on whoever was on the other side. There was evidence that he has a quick and hot temper. There was evidence of jealousy. The prosecution will be very unhappy about the way they handled this case.

So then, to get away with murder shoot the victim behind a closed door then call 911 and show lots of remorse and pray for the victim in front of lots of witnesses. Simples

Yep, he clearly intended to do someone serious harm. Fire a gun at someone and there is a good chance they will be seriously injured. What I cant get my head around is that if I hear a noise at night and my wife isn't in bed with me I assume she is making the noise. I don't think that the argument issue needed to be proved. There was an even chance that the person in the bathroom was Reeva. Thought that the prosecuting counsel played it like it was an American court room TV drama and was very poor.

Irrespective of whether he really believed that there was an intruder in the house, he knew she was there and shot through the door without knowing who was behind it. Wouldn't you check? If he gets away with manslaughter it I beyond joke. Her family must be devastated.

Can't believe this verdict. The prosecution really c*cked their case up.

Venice followed by Florence. Never fussed about Venice until I went a few years ago and realised what all the fuss was about.

I was going to say "Liverpool kiss" but wasnt sure if that was well known down south. Nice pic!

I agree that we should sail through the group. What I meant about a lot of work to do is that we are still far from a decent side. I dont think the defence is strong enough and we are weak defensively in midfield. Rooney is still a massive problem. Having made him captain it is hard to drop him but he clearly is not playing up to the standard you would expect of him. Dont know why we need to have an on-going capatin - perhaps they should just be picked on a match by match basis?

No wonder he got the best out of Palace (and Puncheon) last season then!!!

I missed that then. The guys in the Talksport studio said they hadnt heard it either.

Yeah, I didnt get the Reading move. I am sure he would have picked up another Premiership job down the line eventually.

It is a shame that he initially threw his toys out of the pram and I do wonder how much this is down to his agent or RK saying you aint going nowhere so toe the line now and you will get your move eventually. Either way, he said the right things and RK seems to be helping him to add goals to his game which is good for us now and will only help increase his value if and when he goes.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned earlier but heard a story on Talksport this morning that made me chuckle. Apparently when Beatts was playing under Pulis the team took a battering in one match. Pulis was in the shower and overheard Beatts arranging a night out with the lads. He was so incensed that he leapt out of the shower stark b*ll*ck naked an proceded to lay the nut on Beattie! This is why these things need to be kept behind closed doors! Wouldn't want to see a picture of that on Twitter!

I thought that Delph was supposed to play as DM last night but clearly not given the positions he was getting into. Thought he had a decent game though. Lots of positive comments on the performance on the radio today. I still think that defensively we were caught out too many times - probably as said through the lack of cover in midfield. Shame Morgan isnt English. Still a lot of work to be done but at least there were more positives last night and with the return of all of the injured players we will have more strength to pick from.
