  1. The word of one person believed above the word of another based on how the different accounts were represented - doesn't sit right with me. I've applied the principle to my two kids when they were 8 and 10, but the worst outcome was an innocent kid spent a boring hour in their room. If the principle applies in UK courts, is this why rape victims are advised to wear frumpy clothing to court as an above the knee skirt indicates 'she was asking for it'?
  2. If there really is no evidence (just the word of one player contradicting the word of another player), Celtic could keep appealing until the judgement is made under civil law instead of by a sports body. With no evidence, would the case stand up in court? Absolutely no chance.
  3. We've been doing it for years for dozens of teams! Not won for 5 games? Not won away from home in 10 games? Not scored for 4 games? Not kept a clean sheet for 7 games? Star striker not scored in 6 games? Aston Villa can help!
  4. Well Shay Logan claims that Tonev called him a "black c***". The problem is that it wasn't heard by anybody else and the TV cameras failed to pick it up, so it basically boils down to the word of one person against another. If the only evidence is the word of one person contradicting the testimony of another person, how can this case go any further than an accusation? Unless other evidence exists or Tonev admits the accusation (unlikely), I don't see how a punishment can be given.
  5. He called the player 'Scottish'. It was later determined in a vote that the player was in fact from the United Kingdom.
  6. Thought Curcic was actually a very good player. Saw him in Stoodie Bakers once. Such a big nose. Anyone remember that free kick he scored when he flicked it up and volleyed into the net? Wasn't the flicked up and volleyed free-kick scored by Mark Draper? Perhaps there were two.
  7. Perhaps due to it being fairly lengthy and not being from a tabloid, I initially made the mistake of giving this report more credence than it should have. Closer inspection reveals it to be a collection of widely known incidental facts that have been titivated with a few 'believe' and 'said to be' lines. Might be true, might not be. How do people have the cheek to call themselves journalists and take money for this, albeit inoffensive, pap?
  8. What is the 'whoscored.com' rating and how is a score of 6.74 ranked 7th and 6.77 ranked 13th? Lower score is better??
  9. The beard is spreading. #GarethRDRgoesEbola
  10. Interesting. Looks like we should know the result between 5 and 6 am. I'll be driving between 4:30 and 6:30 on Friday morning so at least I will have something interesting to keep me awake! Incidentally, I wonder if a level of public disorder is expected in the days after the result, particularly if it is a narrow NO.
  11. Good luck, which ever way your relationship heads.
  12. Too right! As a defender, he'd have preferred yesterday's result above a 2-3.
  13. In anticipation of a heavy fine, Pistorius purchases cheap running prosthetics.
  14. I knocked Delph down from 70% to 60% based on his decent England performance. I think most players will be more attracted by a large value contract and the opportunity to play in the Premier League for a decent size club than the contract status of a manager yet to prove himself convincingly.
  15. I suspect it will be 2 out of the 3. Grealish 90% likely to sign, Delph 60% and Vlaar 30%.
  16. If only we knew someone who was any good at it.
  17. I'd love to see how honest you would be if the media asked you - "So Jenny, where do you get your excitement from when you are between competitions and training?"
  18. If the vote is NO by just a few percent (say 52:48), I believe the losers will be calling for increased devolution and another independence vote to be held within the next few years. If the vote is YES by a similar margin, will the losers be calling for another vote and if so, will they be heard?
  19. It is natural for professional footballers to put on weight after they have retired. Even Keane isn't heartless enough to tell Darren he doesn't need to keep turning up at work.
  20. Who gives a heck what the exact circumstances of this signing were and are? I just hope he plays well for us.

    Match Thread

    Yes playing in Europe when our home game was at the hawthorns. Wtf? Tell me more... I was there but it was a long time ago in the intertoto, I think. The ref blew for full time, the players looked confused, a linesman had a word with the ref who quickly waved play on. We were already down to 10 men after a tackle that looked like their pkayer should have gone instead. A distant memory and way OT.
