Why is there a gagging order? I assume this means they are paying him to keep quiet. Why do that, unless they have something to hide?

Nice story, with some similarities with my story (already detailed here). I played a season for Whalley Range in the Lancs Amateur League top division, as centre half. It was a step up from Manchester parks leagues, but I did pretty well. Our player of the season was a lad called Ged Sheils by...

Nothing wrong with that. The ball is correctly positioned for the corner kick because it is partly above the arc line. See goal line technology for further examples.

Hahaha. In that sort of situation, don't commit a stupid foul!

Chelsea should take three minutes to line up for the kick off, like Spurs did against us.

The stupidity of some footballers.

I wish referees would start penalising players for fouls at corners and other attacking restarts. Don't warn them before the ball is in play, just penalis the foul, whether it's a penalty for holding, or a free kick for blocking.

Sacked Ashworth? Didn't know that. He's been doing great so far.

Oh, thanks for clarifying. I read it that there was some opinion that the second caution could have been for dissent. As for Fernandez, his treatment of referees goes far beyond what should be considered acceptable for a captain to be allowed to do. For him, his captaincy seems to give him...

How do you know Rico was cautioned for dissent, and not for a foul? The referee stopped the game and awarded a free kick to Palace to restart it. Normally players will be warned before being cautioned for dissent, and it didn't look like Rico passed any threshold for receiving a caution for...

Manchester, St. Peters Square. Not the largest gathering I've seen.

Aged 7, 8, used to go to watch City train in Wythenshawe Park. Played there most nights with my mates in the footy season, and cricket in the summer. Played for junior school team, then occasionally for secondary school team. Played twice on Saturday and also Sunday afternoon in my teens and...

I've got an ultrasonic deterrent. Not had a mouse since we installed it, about six years ago. That said, we didn't have many mice before it. We have a massive field at the back of the house and often see field mice in the garden.

That'll do.

Dion Dublin - one of the 100 club with goals for Manchester United, Coventry City blah blah. He scored one goal for United, in a league game against Oldham.

Salford City now. Did they feature City this much at the same stage last year?

The Bake Off and its aftershow spin off are full of smutty innuendo. Probably why Mary Berry left. Tom Allen's entire career is finished, as soon as innuendo is banned.

No there isn't!

I won't include the full message in this quote, in order to save space. Buy thanks for a very good summary. One of your recent posts said that nearly all of the insightful posts about City's case can be found in this thread, rather than in the media generally. This is another of those posts...

"Deliberately undertook"? In other words, "by object". Now where have I heard that before?
