Ambitious people make mistakes. Cowards like Ashley just fuck up.

I don't stand anywhere on the matter. Each case is unique and should be judged free of all emotion.

An innocent man as committed no crime.

Re read the ...

I never questioned whether anybody should be remanded. I trust the courts in that decision.

It doesn't mean they're innocent?

And if he gets placed on remand he'll be asked if he wants to be put with the nonces due to the nature of his crime, despite legally being innocent at that point.

I did edit to say I can't remember exactly as I've tried my best to erase the memory, if you think that audio recording was traumatic, we were treated to a full video display. As to the Police and CPS, they are both assuming a conviction, or it wouldn't make the court, but neither barrister or judge referred to them as victim, I think either their name, or simply the witness.

I believe 'Claimant' is the term used. Although admittedly I've tried to cleanse my memory of the experience, so I may be misremembering. People in here have already convicted him because he's a young, wealthy footballer.

Trouble is, until a conviction is achieved, she's not legally a victim, so accusing people of victim blame, whilst a perfectly natural emotional response, is a little premature.

Hang on. Are you as blind as me? I thought it said Simon Grayson as well. Did you also think that was the bloke who played Damon in Brookside?

What do you suggest? We don't register our new £100k per week signings?

That's the kind of creativity that positivity breeds.

Thread should be locked to be honest.

I think it just takes him time to convert from sterling to Euro.

Have Sky threaten to sue?

Truth is none of us are in a position to comment on any of it. At least in relation to the legal process. None of us have any direction from the judge leading the trial, none of us are privy to what evidence is considered admissible. Doesn't seem to matter because even if the jury find him not guilty people have made up their minds and nothing is going to change any of that.

Best bit of business this window.

Even better going in with 4 confirmed signings.

I wouldn't have asked if not for the second emoji, but are those anal beads?

Well yeah, I've no doubt it would depend upon the reasons given for withdrawing the complaint. My point was in relation to the possibility that she wants to resume the relationship.

These cases take a long time, do you seriously believe CPS is going to invest their resources only to drop everything because the victim changes their mind, at the last minute?

I can assure you it isn't.

Man City play without a forward, so why not?

If you press charges then change your mind you get threatened with wasting police time. No idea how often it is necessary to follow through on the threat.
