It's both a moral and legal argument, clearly. You're obviously ok with the council acting immorally, but outraged by SISU's behaviour, that seems a little hypocritical to me...

Although actually what happened was the Council said 'come back and let's build some trust' to the club, and then immediately sold it in secret without either making any effort to build trust or to offer it to the club on the same terms. So it wasn't poker, or monopoly, or selling a car, or...

I thought the approved term for referring to SISU apologists was 'frothing'. It's just a pity that no one here, including Torch, falls into that category. I'm all for a 'drop hands' settlement that involves the Council helping the club find some way out of this situation, but I'm not daft...

It's not about giving the wrong impression, it's about flat out lies. Where in the the very clear statement that said we won't sell to Wasps if it could harm the club's future does it say 'subject to commercial agreement'? Where in Councillor Townsend's statement about building trust with the...

So in fact it was an option, but the council decided it was better to lie to everyone and screw the club over to 'fuck SISU'. And you're ok with that because it means that SISU lose and that's all that really matters. I'm glad we could draw the truth of it out and you no longer need to hide...

In what way was the council commitment 'woolly'? It's there in black and white, a promise that the deal wouldn't hurt the club. There is nothing vague in that promise, it clearly was not time limited, and if the Council couldn't deliver it then they shouldn't have promised it when voting on...

If that wasn't really an option then why did the council say that it was at the point we returned? In the politest way that I can frame it, you shoot down your own argument here - the fact that you say the Ricoh needs the club shows that there was always a deal to be made... if it wasn't for...

Three options. Option 3: Build trust after the club returned and then look to do a deal at a later date. That was actually what the Council said at the point CCFC moved back, at the very point that they were negotiating secretly with Wasps. Another flat out lie. Just to be clear, the Ricoh...

I dunno, but if I bought a house in secret, with a sitting tenant that was in the midst of a huge and well-publicised legal dispute with the previous owner, then I wouldn't be surprised if I somehow got caught up in the middle of it. Would anyone else like to mask an apology for the franchise...

Exactly this. The EFL showed themselves for the kind of serial bottlers that they are with the farce around the Golden Share. There is no way they'll chuck us out, imho, they wouldn't have the guts to face SISU down. Anyone relying on the EFL to take any kind of stand on this is kidding...

Again, lots of people seem to think this, but there's no evidence to support it that I can see. It's simply not true that religion causes more deaths than war, or that 80% of wars are caused by religion. I'm not saying this in particular to defend religion (people can believe what they want as...

Oft quoted but never right, if you actually look at the numbers. If you're looking at deaths for non-religious war they massively outstrip those for religious conflict.

And what indication is there that she has either the will or ability to do that? If she wanted to martyr herself or her child for the cause she could have done so already one presumes, when she actually had the technology for it. Far from that, her primary reason for returning seems to be for...

You'd hang her, and presumably her unborn child, for what crime exactly? And for those who are scared of a 19-year-old pregnant girl, what threat has she actually offered? Not for the first time I don't quite get the hysteria. There are laws in place to deal with this if indeed she ever does...

What's Corbyn got to do with it? It cracks me up how the far right loonies want to stake a claim to patriotism as if if it's their own. It isn't, I'm as proud of being English as anyone, I'd just like a country where it's a bit fairer for everyone. Funnily enough the real patriots, the...

Lots of good advice above. In terms of debt, remember that in broad terms they can't have what you haven't got, so don't head off to Wonga. If you get in touch with the people that you can't pay this month, then I don't think there will be an issue, at worst you're going to miss a month which...

Also, despite mastering faster-than-light space travel, I need all your gold/oil/water/brains (delete as appropriate) and I appear to have left my critical IT infrastructure open to hacking with an old MacBook. Also my lasers fire in very slow bursts, with a peoww peoww noise, even in a vacuum...

Always worth remembering that if you need to knock someone out quietly, a single blow with a blunt object to the back of head always works. Even better, they generally wake up a few seconds after you've gone (or have safely restrained them) with no ill effects. It sort of makes the whole...

He's certainly not going to score many if he's being pulled back into midfield or over to the wing. To me he looks like the kind of striker who needs to be on the last defender's shoulder and getting on the end of fast low crosses and cutbacks in the box. Lobbing it up to him on the far...

Which is fair enough, but that's twice on the bounce that we've needed to do it. I've no problem with him as a player, but if he's not yet fit enough for the full ninety then it means that you're always using a sub to cover him. There was a point late in the game yesterday where we had one...
