    The Ricoh..

    As far as I'm concerned, that shows that the information didn't come from a SISU source. So it must have come from someone at the Council. I can't see how that leak isn't a clear breach of confidence. The Council couldn't be more stupid or bent if they tried - in itself I think this could open...

    The Ricoh..

    Good detail as ever OSB, but under what grounds could Coventry City Council 'leak' the details of a complaint to the EC about their conduct, to a third party? This is not legal action and my understanding is that complaints of this kind are confidential. It isn't going to the ECJ, indeed it...

    The Ricoh..

    Who benefits? It's hard to see it as being in SISU's interests, mid-negotiation. The only other party who should have been aware of it would be the Council, after being asked by the EC for a response. So either SISU leaked it, to scupper the talks for reasons unknown, or someone at the...

    The Ricoh..

    So, it's a complaint direct to the European Commission about whether the council acted against EU law. This isn't a court case, so no further legal costs to any party. Reading the blurb on the EC site, there's no way to claim damages other than via national courts, and as it stands that route...

    ESB1 Surgery

    First off, violence isn't the answer here. It'll end up with one or both of you sacked for gross misconduct and possibly with a criminal record, and the other hurting, resentful and looking for revenge. How does that help things now or in the future? I'd start by having a few days off sick so...

    Just passing on some intel :)

    Just a reminder, the standard internet unit of currency when discussing funding rumours is eleventy-billion. How many eleventy-billions can we expect, please? :)

    It. Literally. Did. EXCLUSIVE: This leaked email reveals council bid to block Coventry City F.C Butts groundshare Anyone trying to blag their way through simple, obvious lies like this should definitely consider running for office at CCC, they'd fit right in!

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Lied about re-building trust with the club. Lied about doing a deal with Wasps that would not negatively impact the club or CRFC. Tried to install a clause in the lease preventing any possible ground share at the Butts. Tried to keep that quiet too. That's just three, I suspect there are...

    Game of thrones (Again)

    Irritatingly dark for me personally, though still a great episode. Tactically, I'd have pushed another line of barricades further out and fought behind them if possible, and split my Dothraki cavalry into two and harried from the flanks and the rear of opposition rather than waste them all in...

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    That's him! Starts with a 'G'.... ahem... :)

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Well remembered, but not the one I was thinking of (or imagining, possibly). Think he had longish hair, name might have started with 'G'. Blimey, I'm hopeless.... sorry!

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Who was that Italian(?) bloke we had for a while, not Dimi, kind of tall and lanky (and hopeless, iirc!). Or this just my early onset dementia kicking back in? Nurse!

    Our Best Ever Keeper ?

    Always Oggy for me, played in the top division forever, behind defences that weren't always top quality, and rarely made any howlers. And all that over an epic number of games. Kirkland next, imho, if it wasn't for the injury problems I think he might have had a truly stellar career. Westwood...

    I'd expect a one-year deal, a bit more expensive, and possibly with some contingency around settling the court fees in a timely manner. What are the odds that they make it subject to a non-disclosure agreement, so we can't find out the full details. That would probably suit Wasps if the price...

    Tommy Robinson

    Evidence please. I've pointed to a well researched argument that shows any number of instances where he's either been involved in violence or implied that it's coming to those he doesn't like. Where is your proof other than in your head? So prove that the 'state' has tried to threaten or...

    Tommy Robinson

    And this is the stuff that needs challenge. Specifically then, when has the state tried to silence Robinson, other than when he's actually broken the law? Links please, or you're making it up... He's not a heroic rebel, a little man standing against oppressive authority, he's a criminal thug...

    Tommy Robinson

    Totally accept where you're coming from on PR, just not so keen on promoting the 'authorities are preventing Tommy's right to free speech' spin that he and his supporters always try to pitch. I'd agree that it's daft that in general elections particularly, FPTP means a large part of the...

    Tommy Robinson

    What makes you think that the criminal thug doesn't have the right to stand as an MP or Councillor? And when was his voice taken away, exactly? I'm all for free speech, but when it's clearly designed to provoke hatred and violence then it should be challenged, and if against the laws of the...

    Liam Kelly - First name on the teamsheet

    I wouldn't claim to have seen enough games this season to make a call on it, but he's always looked a very tidy player when I've seen him. He was at another level completely in the first half of the Portsmouth game though, at the centre of everything and always keeping the ball moving. I hope...

    Many thanks. It was the most polite one I could come up with. :)
