    Post Office - Horizon scandal

    And I’m genuinely wrestling with my emotions for that very reason. Anyone who has ever seen barristers in action will understand their tactics, and can see precisely what they are doing - leading the person giving evidence towards an answer they already know. There’s no doubt that van den...

    Post Office - Horizon scandal

    Just spent 15 minutes watching Angela van den Bogerd being made to look like a hard nosed liar. I know this isn’t supposed to be entertaining in any way shape or form, but time and again the barrister is teeing her up, and time and again you can see what’s coming - yet more evidence that this...

    Sorry to say this, because some of the stuff City play is breathtaking, but for the majority of the time they are unutterably boring to watch.

    Post Office - Horizon scandal

    Not perjury as such, as the offence of perjury is committed when someone lies under oath - generally, therefore, once they have been sworn in to give evidence before a Court.

    How can someone be dishonest over something subjective?

    Practice

    I only really tend to use the range in winter when course time is more limited. Other than that, most of my practice is done out on the course. I’m afraid I just find range work boring, and even Trackman doesn’t stimulate my grey matter greatly, as I really don’t trust a lot of the feedback it...

    I don’t tend to listen to Talksport these days - can’t be doing with Jeff Stelling, and Jim White proper grinds my gears. Not been the same since the lovely Laura ditched the breakfast slot 😇 And I rarely watch Sky Sports News. So Clattenburg’s work with Forest was a new one on me. Has he been...

    Those decisions weren’t given after video reviews. They were on-field decisions which were never in a month of Sundays going to be overturned on the intervention of the VAR because they were not clear and obvious errors.

    The Footie Thread

    I may have missed it in the furore, and the point may already have been made, but I wonder how much of this is being driven by the odious Mark Clattenburg? I didn’t realise until this morning that Forest have engaged his services as some sort of refereeing advisor. Given his liking for a bit...

    You post some really good stuff, but on occasion what you say really does hint at anti-United bias. Weak hold up play and poor touch? Really? Open your eyes. Of all the things Hojlund can be accused of these elements, and certainly weak hold up play, are most certainly not on the list. He is...

    The Footie Thread

    Time to nail my colours to the mast after this afternoon’s debacle. I have been a big supporter of Erik ten Hag since his appointment. I like the majority of his signings, like the fact he has brought a bit of discipline and have been largely impressed with the way he has dealt with those who...
