I thought he'd got his studs caught in the turf and twisted his knee, their pitch did look a bit on the heavy side..

It could get worse before it gets better, just saying...

I wouldn't mind the pre season tour in Holland.

I wouldn't turn my nose up either.

Is PS still being used to cover the Latvian's salary?

The corners were dreadful, what were they kicking, a :censored:in cannonball?

No threat up front at all, the Vale defence could have had a picnic in the D if they'd have wanted.

Hope Eddie just laughed in his face!

You pays your money and you takes your choice.

Could you pm me Zorro re: Fergies book if you still want it ta

Gotta agree with lags here. Should be an England starter for me. Has the ability but not playing enough and not even been mentioned for world cup squad.

Maybe if his fitness was worked on he could fill the gap left by KW when he fills in for the injured TW...

Are you saying his missus looked like a horse?

Neigh lad.

Nope, Kangaroo Court complete with Barrack room lawyers! :-)

I'd have also thought that when the Jury were retiring to consider their verdict that the Judge would have something to say about coming to their verdict with only the evidence presented by the defence and prosecution and not to be swayed by the actions of his employer, the club in this case.

The criminal case is presumably for some sort of fraud and needs to be proven beyond reasonable doubt.

The employment case is presumably for bringing the employer into disrepute and only needs to be proven on the balance of probability (51:49 as said above).

The club action is not dependant on the criminal action in any way at all.

I know, my mistake...I used an apostrophe instead of a full stop.

 

I thought he can't claim unfair dismissal as he hadn't been working for the club for two years and started after April 2012.

He can't but he can claim that the grounds for dismissal were unfair- the video on its own, if he's found guilty after the jury have seen the evidence then he really is up :censored: creek without the proverbial, however if he's found not guilty then it won't be the last we hear of him.

 

...under more severe pressure. He held out for as long as he could. (I'm running out of road here.)

I think you're reading too much into it in your earlier posts Mr 24.

I can't see how the PFA/ FL would side with him tbh because not only has he brought the club into disrepute but also the game. Given the nature of the allegation I would have thought that LJ would have had him in the office first thing Monday morning before training (after watching the video footage numerous times on Sunday) and suspended him on full pay pending further investigations ( I believe he wasn't on pay for the few days whilst the investigations were being carried out?), in other words until LJ had spoken with SC and decided the course of action to be taken. After the investigations had taken place CM plus his agent/ solicitor or witness of Montano's choice would be invited in to answer the allegation of 'spot fixing', after that another meeting should have taken place for the disciplinary action to be imposed, in this case- instant dismissal. As far as the video evidence goes he's bang to rights (had a case like this at work last year but involved a photograph), from what I can see the only unfair action by the club was not to keep him on full pay whilst suspended (if that's what they did), the only other thing going for him is his previous disciplinary record, whether he'd been fined before etc. I can't quite work out where his unfair dismissal allegation has popped up from though, unless Montano had thought; well I haven't been proven guilty in a court of law therefore I'm innocent until proven guilty...I doubt his contract will be paid up until this has gone thru the courts, so his version of events as to why he was in that hotel room with Sodje and the reporter will be down to the jury to decide whether or not he's guilty of spot fixing, I wouldn't be surprised if the video footage from the Wolves match was made available to the jury. If he is found guilty then I would have thought the club will refuse to pay his contract up, if he's found not guilty and the club refuse to pay his contract up then I don't think that'll be the last they hear from his legal team.

Speaking of stupidity, a grown man had his young son with him yesterday. After the game, we were trying to find our coach. The fella kept trying to pick a fight with a Police Horse (Yes, you read that correctly!) and, despite his son bawling his eyes out and begging him to stop, he kept pushing past his son to get at the horse...

He didn't happen to have his missus (long blonde hair) with him did he?

Thought he did ok.

£10 win @ 19/1...ya never know...

WhaaaaaaaT?

Bollocks.

Just seen Marlon King at Ming Ing...

At this rate it looks like 6 in midfield at Anfield.

Hers my formation..it involves Jap bondage...it might be the only way!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ged Coyne, absolute arsehole that guy. Literally the most deluded person on the planet.

Careful what you say there: 80 lashes for false accusation...bitch.

Where's UD when ya need her? Ha ha

Without even reading this thread I'd just like to state that I very much doubt they were football fans that stoned the last Hull bus, no heroics fellas eh...
