I've now read extensively on the case and frankly there seems a miscarriage of justice here. I'm not surprised he has seen fit to appeal and until such time that is heard refuses to bow down and do as people ask. Would you if you did not rape the girl?

I'm afraid it is that cut and dried yes. Abide by the laws of state not make up your own moral high ground. If you did that we would have chaos.

I went to the Ricoh last night as a last minute thing to see what all the fuss has been about. Frankly they were not as bad as I thought they would be but the most disturbing for me was the midfield. They sat too deep, lack of movement and support of the front men. Any team with a bit more...

Guilty in a court of law and a custodial sentence has been served for his crime. Now he is a free man again as you and I are and should be fully entitled to make a living. Period. You don't have to like the man, support the man or agree with the man but you must respect the laws of the land...

It's simple. performance. If you win a few on the bounce then support will increase and if you lose a few on the bounce then apathy sets in. The team takes the blame for this. There are 11 players v 11 and while the manager has influence he does not kick a ball. So the players are ultimately...

The point I was making is that Pardew has suffered chants from the fans that he "did not know what he was doing"? Well can those same fans claim that now? Surely not? I'm not saying he is the best manager for Newcastle, who knows but he has answered his critics big time, has he not? I...

Most on here seem content to have grey clouds over their day on a regular basis with the ability to accept a ray of sunshine when it comes before returning to cloud cover. If we win a couple in a row how many will still maintain the grey cloud over their heads consistently? Pressley is useless...

Would you have hit the panic button had you been Mike Ashley a few weeks back? I know everyone is frustrated but I fail to see changing managers is the answer. Brendan Rogers is finding it difficult after Suarez and the same can be said for the championship player of the month (Wilson) leaving...

We should never forget...

It could be seen as jockeying for position given the JR still to be sorted in court. However what concerns me most about the statement is the intention to still build their own stadium "with access to all revenues" creating sustainability? Ok then so 50% of those revenues of a stadium twice as...

I think WASP will be popular given time at the Ricoh. However that does not translate to crowds of 30k? Remember just a mere hint of some football success in a starved city of anything close to decent football for well over a decade, brought about over 30k fans for a JPT semi final!?? The...

The enticing thing here is ownership of 50% of the ACL lease that has been extended to 250 years! That's almost like saying freehold. It's not but it is the next best thing. value of the lease increases dramatically based on the length and the two occupants being successful, even mildly...

The Americas Cup was amazing stuff. Trailing 1 - 8 they came back and won 8 races on the bounce to win 9 - 8 against a shell shocked New Zealand team. Ben Ainslie with the assist! Nick Faldo defeating Greg Norman from 6 shots behind in the masters of '92 was it?

I think I have mentioned this scenario many times over the least year or so....

Ridiculous to call for his sacking. The man has a remit for this club which they are carrying through even if we get some tough moments like now. The academy is the only way this football club will start to get back to it's rightful place and this will only happen given time to carry out the...

The whole case is not as cut and dry as first appears. being stitched up for an offense such as this is easily done in the heavy wake of emotions. Evidence was scatty and uncertain. He's a young man who is now a convicted rapist and must move on with his life. he has an appeal I believe and...

A lease remember is a saleable asset. So what security do CCFC have by remaining a tenant to Wasp? The better option is to join them as a 50% lease holder surely? Rumoured to be a 250 year lease that is tantamount to freehold. But a 50/50 partnership can't work in the long run can it? Who takes...

Too many on here backed the council and ACL over their football club and took issues solely with SISU for all our ills. The fact is I warned many times that the council had some obligation towards the football club (not SISU) and should have been trying their best to engage with them on behalf...

SISU back off the Ricoh because of extortionate levels of rent lets not forget. That ended with a protest of moving away for 12 months. ACL and SISU have seen some sense in a deal back at the Ricoh at far less extortion than was ever agreed before (be it temporary at the moment) The options are...

All this proves is that both sides really are as bad as each other. To think so many were supporting ACL. I said all along they were both culpable and I still believe that to be the case, if not now proven by this latest ACL knee jerk. Somebody with an authoritive presence at the council...
