Why were you in the car park for an hour and a half?

It was a big chance - total cock-up from Kitching and Bidwell who left him totally unmarked.

I think it’s possible to argue both things at the same time - that it’s understandable we’d regress given the calibre of the players we lost, but the amount of money we’ve spent trying to replace them should have yielded better results than it has.

So to sum up, Corbyn didn’t say what he actually believes for tactical reasons, but you admire his ability to speak his honest opinion?

If only everyone in the world were this generous, the Middle East crisis would be solved overnight!

What was he doing at Heerenveen then?

Well to be clear, it’s not Corbyn’s honesty that I think is the problem here. Not much point in lauding the honest if their honestly-held opinions are total garbage.

You make it sound like he was hard done by? Personally I think it’s good if the people who want to govern us are pushed for their opinions on important stuff.

I think it was one of the clearest illustrations yet of how Corbyn’s world view is radically different from the political mainstream, and was well worth doing.

Bring back the Sky Blue Belles?

Higher!

I don’t know about a heads up, but Braverman’s letter to Sunak (and her general behaviour for the past month) suggests the writing has been on the wall for some time

We are so fucking back Anyone want to guess the price without looking?

I’m sure you’re got lots of other plans for Valentine’s Day

MVE was one of the top 20 most expensive signings in the whole division this summer. If you exclude the three relegated clubs then only a handful of players were signed for a bigger fee. It’s a significant investment for a team at this level.

Piers Morgan being awful doesn’t excuse how dreadful Corbyn’s performance was.

Well we shall see if it goes to trial - personally I don’t think it’s an open and shut case at all. It will be very hard to prove he intended to hurt him. The implications for hockey (and all contact sports) could be huge if he’s convicted.

I suppose the defence will argue that he didn’t intend to hurt him, only block him or guide him away from a certain part of the rink, as per the rules of the sport (which clearly allow physical contact etc). Don’t know how successful that will be, I don’t know if there are any precedents for this.

My guess is that the CPS was looking into whether they have much chance of a conviction. Lots of things to consider (the suspect’s background, the events of the game itself etc etc) I can’t pretend to know a great deal about ice hockey or this kind of law, but from a purely legal point of view...
