  1. Understand where you are coming from. The Goodwillie case is interesting in that he was found "guilty" in a civil case on the "balance of probabilities" a far, far lower threshold than required in Crown Court. It's an awkward truth that if you really were innocent but with a lot of "circumstantial" evidence going against you there is a very high chance you would get convicted in a civil case brought against you. That would apply to many an innocent person who was found not guilty at crown court, if not the majority.
  2. Guess who missed a penalty tonight?!!!
  3. In terms of there being NIL affordable housing on the site itself that may well be a fact but you don't normally end up with that privelege for nothing. It might be less of a cost than what people think is fair but that's another argument........
  4. All joking aside when you look at the level of players at the clubs outside of Celtic and Rangers that should be the case. Our sixth choice centre-half starts every week for Hearts.
  5. Don't disagree with a word you say but the short term job Pearson was given is to keep us in the division which in effect is treading water. He has been given the full three years to get the ship heading in the right direction which is why I laugh when I see "Pearson Out" threads..........absolutely no chance that Lansdown will even consider it unless something mental like 12 defeats in a row happen. He could do worse. Easiest money any Manager will ever earn.
  6. This is common. There are various ways of doing it too. You can pay a contribution, as you say, you could take the hit and just include the percentage of affordable units and on one site I know of fairly central in Bristol comprising numerous blocks they put all of the affordable units in one single lower specification block away from the rest...................
  7. When the guy has to retire aged 22 with joint problems...........................
  8. We have done exactly that but reading a few on here you wouldn't realise it.........
  9. Le Tissier was the best penalty taker of all time...............missed one out of 49 I believe it was. Can anyone guess who was the only keeper to save a Le Tissier penalty?
  10. I'm guessing he will have to make a contribution to BCC instead so that, in theory, they will build affordable units elsewhere? You can't just decide yourself that you are offering NIL and **** Council policy. It is clearly viability (some might use the word greed instead) related (he will be banging out every unit at the going rate instead of 38 of them at an affordable rate) but it's not as simple as saying he's offering nil and the Council have been screwed over. That said, the bloke STUCK UP for Swiss Toni and effectively said the fans didn't know what they were talking about and that's certainly not a comment I will forget in a hurry despite the fact that many will.
  11. So what's the point, that we should legalise murder or that you feel Greenwood is being unfairly targeted because he is a footballer?
  12. The point about Delph that many people miss is that when "the other bloke who cannot be identified yet we all know his identity" was arrested the Police only gave out the players age it was Delph who was initially suspected by the majority of people on social media.
  13. What a terrible game of football that was.
  14. People lauding the previous Manager until he proved to be pretty useless for West Brom and laughing at Bruce who has a track record getting teams out of this division which is what I thought West Brom were after? Funny old world sometimes..............and yes, how funny it would be and very realistically possible too if all these new signings don't hit the ground running.
  15. He was shite last night, let’s get it right, and will most likely be on the bench for the final now that Sarr is fit.
  16. Take your points on board but I could literally walk out of my house this afternoon and find you 12 people who don’t have a clue who Mason Greenwood is, no problem at all.
  17. Yeah, you have to ask yourself why the Icelandic press should be so interested…………..in Fabian Delph obviously!!
  18. We can say it isn't Fabian Delph though. That will do!!
  19. And what we spend on the women's club goes through FFP in terms of the EFL's calculations?
  20. I don't know because I don't have that much interest in detailed accounts most of the time. Hope that's ok arsewipe.
  21. Unless it is proven that the issue was totally fabricated by his girlfriend it will not go away regardless of the final outcome. If he's reached the threshold to be charged (given it is common knowledge how incredibly difficult the offences he's being investigated for are to pass the charging threshold) the damage is done regardless of whether some top London QC does his stuff on behalf of Greenwood in court.
  22. Do all of the above appear in the accounts that the EFL examine? For example what has St James Parade Limited or the Women's FC got to do with our FFP? I genuinely don't know the answer hence asking the question.
