Did he use the ‘i’ word?Apparently Cheeseman was telling all and sundry yesterday that it’s expected next week or the start of the week after

Good news. He’s a proper bell end that guy.Hear anything about Cheeseman's travelling pal, Paul from Prestige repairs, who was tweeting yesterday that he has been banned from the Etihad? He was the dick who tweeted a few months back that we'd got off :)

That’s interesting. So the question becomes why, given your friend’s answer, does it take a long time to write up the verdict? Is this normal?It wasn't that sort of party, but I am a little inebriated. Anyway, my retired judge friend laughed when I posed the question and said "You're very naïve. The panel will have read through the evidence before the hearing even started, and pretty well made up their minds then. The hearing was purely for clarification and they will have definitely had a pretty firm view after that".
So despite having heard nothing concrete for 12 months, the broad outcome was clear 12 months ago.

I should add to this that family barristers, unless they are extremely senior, will wear the clobber even less than commercial counsel. So not quite ‘most infrequently’. And thinking about it, some PI barristers never go to court. All they do is advices. Rinse and repeat. Boring as fuck. So they will never put the clobber on.Yes, tax deductible. It’s like the difference between economy plus and first class on a long-haul flight though. The difference in price is so stark, it doesn’t seem worth it.
The other thing about that price differential, is that counsel who are best placed to afford the frizz top wig, namely commercial barristers, are the ones that will wear them most infrequently, as they are only required in the Crown Court, Administrative Court (Judicial Review) High Court and Court of Appeal. And not the Supreme Court notably! Oh, and fast and multi track track trials too tbf. I reckon most commercial barristers wear their wig and gown less than a dozen times a year, whereas a criminal barrister will wear theirs well over 100 times a year.

He is smarter than that :)
But if Cheesey says it is so, I am on board. He has a good track record, after all .... Would be funny as fuck if he gets it right again. One shot, bullseye. Or one shot, bullshit. Let's see.

Well he's had a few shots at the current result date already, he's bit of a strange guy, seems to have gone a bit bitter after wrongly being sacked for calling out Alty in that Chelsea game.He is smarter than that :)

Cheesey was the first person to confirm the CAS result...two days before anyone else in the media. If I recall that decision was given to the parties on the Friday night so they could prepare their comms for the Monday public release. I would also trust him on the timing of this one.He is smarter than that :)
But if Cheesey says it is so, I am on board. He has a good track record, after all .... Would be funny as fuck if he gets it right again. One shot, bullseye. Or one shot, bullshit. Let's see.

I remember that sending the ITKs on here into a frenzy :) He was their second favourite target on here for a while after Mancini. Funny as fuck.
Rodney.QPR League cup 1967.
Google AI isn’t perfect
He also weirdly said that he despises Erling and Khusanov, for some reason
Who does, Cheesemam or (allegedly) Pep?

He didn't 'confirm' anything.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy but I lost faith in Cheeseman’s predictions when, in December 2024, he said we were being deducted 40 points.

Hopefully the impression I get that they are having difficulty matching the formalised version to their original decision is not correct.Yeah, totally agree. Don't think that was ever in question. The time taken to formalise and write it all up into a published verdict is different to the time to 'decide' it.
