We had Peter Barnes at our OSC Branch meeting last week and he told the story about when he was a young apprentice. He had to clean Mike Doyle's boots and was shit scared of him. Every time he cleaned the boots for the first time and had to show them to Doyle, he was told they weren't good enough and to clean them again.

I'd suggest this sort of experience played a large part in explaining why players like Peter Barnes are such nice, humble people while his equivalents in the modern game can often be scumbags.
I used to golf caddy for Mike Doyles’s mate (Tony Brierly), Doyle could be very cantankerous but mellowed a lot in his later years and was very good company, I can absolutely see what you mean though, he was averse to giving out bollockings.

Its a common plot device in US film and TV that recordings need 2 party consent - ie both people on a recording are aware and agree to being recorded - in order to be admissible evidence in some states.

That seems to have filtered into the general public understanding. The UK has no such requirements, nor do most countries.
Yes, our general laws on admissibly in criminal proceedings are looser than theirs (although I think our hearsay and bad character rules are a bit more exacting).

There’s no specific doctrine as the fruit of the poisonous tree in England and Wales, for example, subject to more general conditions around abuse of process and s78 PACE. If evidence is obtained without a search warrant being properly executed , for example, then assuming there’s no particular prejudice to the defendant (rather than it being devastating to their case) then the courts over here tend to shrug their shoulders and say ‘we are where we are and can’t ignore it’.

Think the system broadly works. The worst abuses are filtered out, but ultimately criminal proceedings should surely be underpinned by the use of best evidence to get to the truth, over strict observance of procedural rules.
 
MEN did an article today about the relative values of the City, Utd and Liverpool squads

Utds has dropped considerably Vs the purchase price

Liverpool's squad is worth virtually the same

City's has increased 25%

City's recruitment has been top notch
Players should soon start to see Utd as a place where careers die
Greenwood's market value now worth fuckall, only makes it worse
