Possibly... I'm not sure we necessarily know. However I'm not sure there's much relevance there because that is unlikely to have involved the same teams and individuals. By the same logic you could suggest judging Freeman's abilities in light of El-Abd's on the basis of the same employer is reasonable.

I'd suggest it would be more akin to signing myself on a 5-year 10K a week contract, and then keeping faith with that scout. I'm not sure too many people were bemoaning El-Abds qualities as a footballer until he actually played for us.

Are these the same lawyers giving the gas advice that told them they had a good case to get their relegation annulled because of the Wycombe situation? If so, then I'm amazed Higgs didn't dump them after that fiasco and find someone else.

7th post down I think

So they want us to have a whip around whilst in 1982 they tried to steal AG from under our noses. If they wanted to rely upon our generosity perhaps they should have reciprocated it. As it happens I consider myself a decent enough chap who supports a few causes... I wouldn't give them the steam from my ****

 

As for an appeal I personally wouldn't bet on it.

Why did the filter star out 'kettle'?

Is it a possibility that Sainsburys lose this case and are told they have to stick to the terms of the contract, then UWE falls through anyway (due to increasing costs or UWE themselves not wanting the stadium any more) meaning that rovers can't move out and Sainsburys get to pull out for nothing due to the site not being vacant within any agreed timescale?

I can confirm this is 100% accurate as my gardeners, wifes best friend overheard someone in the queue in Tesco saying their taxi driver had heard this too from someone he picked up at Parkway station !

I find the fact that the source was in a cab at Parkway very telling here, if you were in the know about UWE that would surely be your preferred choice of station? Proof enough that this is a dead cert for me.

I've lived in north Bristol my entire life, Gloucestershire play in Bristol, therefore I support Gloucestershire.

Admirable loyalty to your birthplace, but shouldn't that make you gas?

We've had this debate before Rich!

Probably, and in another couple of years I'll remember who you are all over again!

I've checked the schedule and I'm not seeing it listed.

Apparently tomorrow, Rinder is making a judgement for some bloke who got a Doris a kebab after a night in the pub and didn't even get cloth-tits, let alone inside tops.

He is expecting his fiver back.

Your use of the word Doris has just made me realise who you are!

He's only contracted for six games, so I guess that once he's played three he'll be kept back in the hope we make the knockout stages.

Edit - read what's actually happening before commenting. I was way out!

No. Some think it's a forgone conclusion that Sainsbury's will turn up with big bags of money.

It was more the fact that he only sees having to pay Sainsburys costs as the thing that would mean a threat of administration. It would seem to me that  a complete victory with extra compensation on top is about the only thing that will stave it off!

Could Warwick Gas be the naivest person out there?

If Rovers win and hit Sainsburys with costs i would imagine this would also include increased material costs and loss of earnings from the the completed stadium?? Could be a large amount of money and maybe this is also a factor why Sainsburys want this sorted ASAP as well.

If Sainsburys win we may have to pay their costs. Hope this doesn't mean a threat of Administration.

June they wanted to know by

I thought they needed an answer by the end of June? I may well have misunderstood though

Definitely seems a good bloke, but to score 150+ on your own and the rest of the side not able to come up with the 70 runs or so needed with the other half of the strike must be disappointing for him

Are they having an open top bus parade?

Radio Bristol reporting this morning that Higgs has said they are going to have a week off and then talk to the council about getting an open top bus tour, so they obviously think their achievement is worthy of it.

Seems like an incredibly half arsed way to go about it, and he is just looking for the opportunity to moan about the council when it doesn't happen.

how are scunny getting on?

Gillingham 2 - 1 MK

Joe didn't cover the game last night, he was at home.

All night or just home early?

Looking through your list TRL, it would appear that whilst most of these countries do indeed have a possible death penalty for the crimes you list, people are very rarely executed for these crimes and it tends to be a theoretical punishment that is discouraged by law. I would be interested if you had examples of where people were actually executed rather than just threatened with it though.

On the other hand, shouldn't we be getting more concerned with China that executes several times more people every single year than the rest of the world put together!

SX225 -

All he is doing is trying to explain that the atrocities being carried out are not typical of Muslim culture, which they are patently not. Nowhere does he try and defend that behaviour, in fact he actively condemns it, yet you refuse to see this and instead carry on with your hate filled tirades against him. In my minds eye I see you red in the face with rage spraying spittle all over the screen as you type. You claim to have the majority of the forum behind you, but in reality you are making yourself look a fool.

Davros is obviously a reasonable person who happens to be a Muslim. You are upset that an apparently intelligent person can believe in God, that is the case for intelligent people the world over, though not including myself, I wouldn't dare call myself intelligent nor believe in any God (Bob Taylor excepted).

I seem to remember you defending the actions of football hooligans in past posts, is that the reasonable behaviour of an intelligent person?

Of course all these atrocities carried out in the name of religion are actually about politics and power. There is no religion in the world that would last hundreds of years if some of the things carried out in it's name were part of it's doctrine.

If the laws of Islam were as twisted and cruel as they are made out to be and carried out uniformly across the Muslim world then people would have rebelled and it would have ceased to exist a long time ago.

The point of any religion is to take power, control the masses and establish some kind of peaceful existence that keeps the people at the top in power. Executing people for minor infringements is never going to work, as many dictators across the world have discovered to their peril.

Whilst I am not religious, I accept that the moral compass of any group of people is initially set by the religion predominant in the region. Christian, Muslim, Hindu.....whatever the religion is, the one thing they all have in common is that they are generally peaceful and fair.

You will always get people twisting these religions to their own means, and it tends to happen in the less developed countries, hence the death penalty for apostasy being handed out in Sudan, probably by a local court controlled by the people in power in that area trying to use scare tactics that have always failed in the long run in the past. The very fact that it is being reported in the media is also proof that it really is not the norm for any form of Islamic law.

What I don't quite understand is how a "wave of Muslims intent on forcing Sharia Law onto all of us" becomes "A tiny minority of only 3%" according to the argument people are trying to win.

I've not lived in a city for quite a few years (horrible, smelly places) but the last time I did it was in a mainly Muslim area of East London (Leytonstone) and the only trouble I ever had from anybody was a white guy living opposite who accused me of being a copper and spying on him merely because I wore a shirt to work! Apart from that it was all pretty quiet and most people just kept themselves to themselves just the same as everywhere else I've lived.

Maybe if people just all tried to get along, then the need for 'extremism' would go away and this forum would be a much more pleasant place to visit, rather than having to put up with spiels of drivel about how the country is going to the dogs because people who believe in a slightly different version of a mystical being to some of the people already here are moving in.

On the bright side, maybe the hordes of Muslims will drag the country so far down the pan that it will no longer be an attractive option for the hordes of East Europeans we've being invaded by. Thank god that EU rules will allow us all to go and move to Poland or Bulgaria to get away from it. Just be careful where you place your vote next week, because if UKIP get in not even that option will be available to us!

Burton, Fleetwood and AFC Wimbledon?
