Burn him, burn him!!!

Really??

Was thinking this just this morning. Don't know when or why the commonly-used name of Upton Park was changed. Precious in the extreme. Hopefully they'll remember that their new ground will always be known as the "Taxpayers' Olympic Stadium".

Not condoning the disorder, but would not have happened if Manure had had respect for their opponents and arrived in good time. They should be fined for bringing the game into disrepute. Twice in a month this has happened

Two thoughts:- 1. Why did we take up the option to loan JM after selling him, if the other loan striker was seen as more important? Was it to placate the rebellion among the fans for selling "one of our own"? 2. The slump started way before JM was sold. Was it the subject of a poorly-guarded...

This article just published in the Observer http://coventryobserver.co.uk/news/well-work-team-says-new-coventry-council-leader-lucas-loyalists-depart/ What a breath of fresh air to hear those sort of sentiments being expressed, including re-examination of some decisions that Lucas...

Bloody 'ell, that's a good old trek. Is the Flyer still open at the bottom of Pigsty Hill? Used to be a good place when I lived down that way.

Evidence? Or are you Mystic Meg?

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...
