Lengthy trial​

Justice Smith's ruling in the monumental legal showdown comes more than two years since the 51 days of hearings concluded in December 2023.

She scrutinised more than 4,000 documents tendered in evidence to determine the meaning and importance of agreements, documents and memos detailing events principally from 1967 to 2005.

4,000 documents! Our 3 learned judges could only dream of 4,000 documents. That’s just the number of pages outlining our “charges” particularly after they were re-written when the bewigged PL tossers got the originals wrong.

This phenomenon is known as the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, often referred to as the frequency illusion.

It is a cognitive bias in which a person notices a specific concept, object, or word more frequently after recently becoming aware of it, leading to the false impression that it is occurring more often than it actually is.

I broke my arm a few years ago and time I went out I Notices someone with a injured arm.

I also notice 115 a lot these days.

The numbers of everything in this case are bind boggling.

Even at a reasonably conservative estimate, the case could cost £60/80m across both sides. That doesn't even include any potential fines.

That would vaccinate around 10,000,000 children fully against malaria.

Now, you could choose any other vaccine or cause and achieve similar good.

Yet, here we are, years later still pissing away money, simply because a bunch of corrupt entitled football clubs spat their collective dummies out as they couldn't have their full share of ill gotten spoils anymore.
 
I kid you not.
Talksport earlier (yes I know) when discussing West brom psr case..
'It seems unfair when other teams have charges that have taken years that re still unresolvesld'

Host..'care to name those teams'...

Pundit..'well we all know who it is!!!!

A complete smear job on our club. Cannot wait till the verdict drops because it will be epic.

We got the rowing boat across from Southwold. Lovely place, just needs more sand and less pebbles.

Yes, we did the same. A friend of mine - with considerably more money than me - owns a property there, just down from the Swan. Remarkable place. Every building bespoke, no two houses the same, and hardly any hotels, so even in the height of summer it’s as dead as a dodo from about 20:00hrs onwards!

Maybe if they'd gone for charges just in one season it'd be over by now but, we all know the real reason they muddied the waters over so many years.

Love the sound of that, very 'Wind in the Willows'. Mind you, the wife feels seasick in the bath so maybe not.

The crossing’s barely much wider than a glorified ditch. You’re only in the boat for about 2 minutes. You’d be pushing it to puke in that time. Mind you, my old man was the same. Used to get seasick walking along the beach at West Bay!

He’s right. It would be less sand and fewer pebbles as sand isn’t countable, but pebbles are.

Are you sure? I heard a guy on TV not so long ago that said، "there are as many stars in the universe as grains of sand on the entire earth" So someone must have counted them!

Did that years back, 50p or summat?, skipper with forearms like Popeye rowed into the current then drifted it back to Walberswick, my mate asked him if he'd ever had competition for the crossing, he flexed the arm and darkly muttered "only once..."
