Nige is fed up with you as well Alpine On a different note - have you had tonnes of snow? Skiing in Serfaus, Tirol in Feb, can't wait.

Totally agree, seems very out of character and I'm sorry for the girl involved but hopefully this will keep him out of Euro 12 .

Brilliant, top-notch, superb, on the money, bang on etc

SSN reporting that Craid David is now training with the first team as Adkins looks to add some creativity. A free agent, so no transfer fee - plus he's a Southampton lad!

It's a group match and Team GB were spefically down as playing. One ticket covers two different group matches. From the Telegraph "Coached by Stuart Pearce, they will begin their Olympic campaign at Old Trafford on Thursday July 26, followed by fixtures at Wembley Stadium on Sunday July 29 and the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday Aug 1. Hope Powell's women's team will begin the tournament with back-to-back fixtures at the Millennium Stadium on Wednesday, July 25 and Saturday July 28 before moving to Wembley Stadium for their final group game on Tuesday July 31. "

Reckon he would be a good player for us, a fox in the box and quick off the mark if not out and out pacey. Given his recent personal circumstances I can't see him coming down here. Playing at Leicester he'll be able to commute rather than relocate so would make sense to him.

Taking my nipper to watch Team GB at Old Trafford. Not that fussed about the Olympics football but a good chance to see some potential stars of the future plus the UK is unlikely to see the Olympics again for decades so thought it would be good for him to say he went.

did you mean "his" work? I'm assuming that's your spelling mistake and not his, easily done isn't it?

To be fair, if Pompey wasn't such an embarrassing tinpot excuse for a club this thread would have finished a long time ago.

Capital punishment isn't necessarily a cheap option. If the UK were to bring it back you can guarantee that it would be accompanied by a number of appeal stages over several years to ensure that there are no miscarriages of justice. All cases would cost shedloads in lawyers fees and court fees - the vast majority of which would probably be picked up by the taxpayer. If brought back I'd imagine they'd also build a purpose built facility or two for both the death row inmates and the execution facility which would also cost a few bob. Even so, I think any opinion on the death penalty should be based upon weighing the relative morals involved, not which method is cheaper.

Well I've got more sympathy for that argument, I doubt that anyone guilty of pre-meditated murder could successfully argue that they "deserved" to live. Two problems though: 1. Do you trust it to be used fairly? In the US you're much more likely to be executed if you are poor and a minority, and you get cases that point towards innocence but politically motivated Governers want execution so they can look tough. 2. Execution is final. If you're actually innocent there is no hope of reprieve which means another innocent life has been lost and the real murderer goesunpunished. Too many pitfalls for me, I'd prefer life to mean life in gaol rather than life tariff. Before any mouth frothers comment - the above comments in no way mean i condone child murder or giving criminals holidays, cash or a hug.

Brilliant depsite my mere(!) 1,474 post I am a liberal forum superstar - is that a promotion from "liberal elite" or just a re-badging? Conversely for you reactionary mouth-frothers - everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if it's different from mine I'll say that you don't care about babies being murdered.

There you go again - "because you disagree with me I will infer that you admire Maxine Carr". Utterly pathetic.

I'm just proving him wrong using evidence from the thread. I didn't start the thread then froth at the mouth with wild accusatory posts fired off at posters who happened to disagree. I also don't constantly doom-monger on match reaction threads when I didn't even see the match. "Strolling around unchallenged" lol at you.

Thanks for supporting my point. Just because I don't think that the death penalty works as a deterrent you've classed me as a "bleeding heart liberal" and inferred that I don't care about the victim. Simply pathetic.

Says the man - never short of an opinion - with 22,970 posts.

That's exactly your stance. In response to buctootim saying that he'd have three strikes resulting in a death penalty (instead of other punishments) you said In response to me saying that criminals don't think ahead when commiting crime you said In response to me pointing out that muderers don't think about punishment when committing murder you said In response to Verbal pointing out that statistics were a better indicator of crime levels that an individual's perception you said In response to me criticising you for being an attention seeking troll you said Really really pathetic.

eh?

oh here is the forum prima donna, sure to add value to any debate.

No because you come out with pathetic comments like that. Your basic stance in this thread has been "if you don't agree with me then you condone child murder". It is absolutely pathetic. Equally pathetic, but much more offensive, as your repetitive "I wasn't at the match but my opinion is unchallengable" doom mongering on the post-match reaction threads.

Unfortunately that would've seen the Birmingham Six and many others executed for crimes they didn't commit.

Is there a bigger attention seeking troll on this forum than alpine_saint?

Pathetic.

Yeah cos everybody on here has been saying that there should be no punishment at all for murder haven't they?

How could you possibly conclude that from my post? you are mental.
