PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

The short answer is that this was before the Food Safety Act 1990, which introduced the ‘due diligence and all reasonable precautions’ defence. Yes, this was a formal prosecution by the local authority, though the prosecution was led by a QC rather than an environmental health officer as sometimes happened. X-ray machines were available in those days but not commonly used.
In those days public analysts’ findings were rarely challenged in magistrates’ courts and whilst this one was, in my view, a bit of a cowboy.

You mention that insects etc can be tested to see whether they have been cooked or not. Many years before this the Research Association had suggested the use of the alkaline phosphate test (normally used to check adequate milk pasteurisation) for insects. It probably wasn’t as well tailored to insects but gave a reasonable result. I encountered this same public analyst in another case where he was using the test to see whether burgers had been properly cooked. It appeared that the alkaline phosphate in muscle was slightly more heat resistant than that in milk and that an acid phosphatase test would have been more appropriate. The company involved were a bit obsessed with not over cooking their burgers. However in his evidence the public analyst suggested that 450 degrees centigrade would be an appropriate temperature to cook burgers to. He later denied saying this under cross examination, until the clerk read out what he had said. In this case the complainant, who claimed it made him sick within minutes, was a police officer who had been turned down for a franchise with the defending company. The company were still found guilty. But this was when e.coli 157 was much in the news……

To return to the relevance to this thread, I was making the case that you can have the best factual evidence in the world but sometimes there are other factors that come into play - media pressure for example.

You are quite right about media pressure but that is where a tribunal rather than a court may be advantageous to us. The panel are not figures well known to the general public and may be less susceptible than a local mag. I hope!

In Greek mythology wasn't Cassandra's curse that she could accurately foretell the future but was destined to be disbelieved by everyone?

Bearing that in mind what do you think the outcome of the IC will be? (Half serious question).

Screw that. I’m more interested to know what else goes into our sausages that’s probably worse than finding some nuts and bolts in them.
I’d say there’s a lot of dodgy stuff besides a bit of extra iron in our diet.

If we win the case and have a result similar to that at the CAS, I want some payback.

Maybe not through the courts but I don't want us to be the doormat of these clubs and the media anymore.

I want a press conference where home truths are told, and some hand grenade's are thrown.

Khaldoon said he has very strong views which he will make public when the case is over. It might be quite entertaining and embarrassing for the redshirts.

Sky Sports have just interviews John Cross (The Mirror) & Jack Rosser (The Sun) about our 115 charges (via video link in front of a bookcase their spare bedrooms)!

Apparently they both think that the 115 charges, might effect us this season!

We didn't loose a league game after they charged us in Feb 2023, we won 5 trophies, started work on a new stand with a hotel for turnstiles, then became the first team to ever win four English titles in a row!

Haaland needs 26 goals this season to get to 115!

They are stupid and ignorant scribblers.

That surely has to be what every City fan wants .

Put the redshirt cunts firmly at the root of the issue and reveal the extent to which the PL and Masters have been used as their puppets.

Nothing less than the club/supporters deserve after the constant shit the jealous cunts have thrown at us.
 
Once I got a nail under my pate at a restaurant. It had fallen off the kitchen wall.

Do you have somewhere else to be and thus have not the few seconds needed to scroll past (actually relevant, if you read his post) discussion that you don’t find interesting?

I for one appreciate @Cassandra sharing their experience with trials and judgements and have had similar experience in my past life giving testimony for financial analysis and fraud detection.

That would be funny. Completely cleared of the 115 then fined £115,000 for bringing the game into disrepute for telling some home truths.
