It's a shame that this has had to happen the year after the club have been driving the £20 maximum across the board. Anyone who thinks Ticketmaster will not lump on a hefty booking fee, based on their previous track record, is naïve in the extreme. I reckon we'll be paying £25 a match next...

I grew up in Bristol, and went to Eastville every home game in the mid 70s, including in Div 2 when Manure had their spell down there. They were bad times for hooliganism, and Manure were the primary protagonists!

Nope, the Sixfields Tavern has gone up too. I quite like Sixfields, especially now they have the new stand, though can't say what the facilities are like in the away end. Easy to access from the M1, loads of cheap parking in one of the nearby fields. You are wrong about Cambridge, although the...

How much would it fuck you over (as admin) if that was discussed on here? Why the fuck the courts are referring to them as PJS, or whatever it is, I'll never understand! Red herring??

Incidentally, and for the record, while I have strong views on protecting the accused's identity in rape and similar cases (including Operation Yewtree), I have never been accused myself.

Keeping it out of the press and social media might be more of a challenge, mind you!

What it does say is that the original trial did not reach an unsound verdict based on the evidence with which they were presented, but that there is now something more. That will doubtless come out in the wash, but no matter what the outcome, the identity of the "victim" (sic) will never be...

"Travesty" would imply that they had been treated unfairly in some way (as in not being awarded a stone-wall penalty, or getting their keeper sent off in error). They just couldn't score. They lost. "That's football, Brian!"

The order from the Court of Appeal stated that he must be "re-arraigned" on the charge of rape within two months. Whether that is the date of his trial, or of the first committal (timetabling) hearing, I don't know. While his bail under the Court of Appeal order is unconditional, I don't know...

Difference being, of course, that Marlon King WAS convicted. It may turn out that Evans is not. But players who have supposedly been training all the while can find it tough to get up to speed (e.g. Joe Cole, Peter Ramage, Darius Henderson, etc etc)

He is effectively currently at the stage of having been charged and awaiting trial. As in the case of Adam Johnson, any club that didn't at least suspend him would be pilloried if he is later convicted.

IF the new jury finds the new evidence compelling (which is why the Court of Appeal has ordered a retrial), and find him not guilty, it would be possible for him to issue a civil claim against his accuser for defamation. However, the burden of proof in a civil case is "on the balance of...

It is also a matter of public record that X stood up for what is right, and everyone here has accepted that he went further than many would in reporting it.

You mean "alleged crime", Tom. Was this not the subject of a civil claim, rather than a criminal trial? IIRC, Samo has said nothing which could be construed as contrary to what has been stated as fact in the press.

Sorry for flogging the proverbial dead horse, but my understanding is that the question of whether the "CCTV was working" was a quote from a court transcript, not lost in translation. The College of Policing guidance clearly states that CCTV can be used in "cell interiors". Anyone who has seen...

That is what I was basing my surmising on ... the testimony under oath of a victim of police brutality and an honest fellow officer. The wording inferred that PC Alsopp knew that there WAS CCTV in there, but that it may also not be recording all the time. I bow to your greater (but...

There are a few references on the Millwall forum regarding legal advice on how to deal with a copper trying to enforce a dispersal order. It CAN be done city-wide, but only if there is a reasonable suspicion that crime and/or disorder is likely. Likely to be challengeable, but only in court! On...

The thing about AA for me has been his inability to score in the past god-knows-how-many games. Even when Murphy was scoring a hat-trick. It can't all be down to the level of service from the build-up play. He is clearly not getting into those goal-scoring areas that he was in the first 15 games...

They are probably telling the club that they will have to pay for the extra policing required if they make the crowd bigger. Talk about the tail wagging the fookin dog! They should have made it ticket only from the off, and only purchases accepted from Cov fans with a purchase history. Maybe...
