nobby_solano Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 is this the douglas hall? Driver 'jumped' light at crossing A motorist has been spared a driving ban after he was caught playing chicken on a railway crossing. Douglas Hall was caught on CCTV jumping a red light at a Metro crossing at Callerton, near Newcastle, narrowly missing an oncoming train. Magistrates in Newcastle heard the Metro driver was forced to make an emergency stop in May 2009 to avoid Hall's Audi TT convertible. Hall was given nine penalty points, a £400 fine and was ordered to pay costs. Last year Metro operator Nexus installed red-light safety cameras at the Callerton Parkway level-crossing due to the number of near misses over the last 12 months. Almost half of the 52 road traffic incidents at Metro's five level crossings have occurred at Callerton Parkway. 'Disregard' Jeremy Forsberg, from the Northumbria Safer Roads Initiative, said: "It is unbelievable that someone would take such a stupid and dangerous risk. "The driver showed such a disregard for not only his own safety but also the safety of the train operator and the scores of passengers expecting a safer journey on the Metro. "A car isn't going to win against a train, but there will certainly be a lot of people on board who will get hurt." A spokesman for Nexus, which operates the Metro, said: "Any driver that attempts to run the red stop lights at a level crossing is dicing with death and is putting other lives at risk. "This particular incident last May was an extremely near miss which could have so easily ended in tragedy." In December former Newcastle United player and coach Terry McDermott was penalised with three penalty points and a £350 fine for jumping the same red light, although there was no train in the immediate vicinity.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hossam Ghaly was caught doping with his Saudi club and may be banned for up to two years. This is interesting because he was caught right after Nations Cup. People have been accusing the Egypt national team of dopung for years and you figure this would only add fuel to that fire.

ElDiablo Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 http://www.wharf.co.uk/2010/03/hooligan-jailed-over-football.html Seeing as the banned from football thing is just to appease the public and media, I think it's a bit of a joke he only got 18 weeks, especially seeing as he breached a suspended sentance too.

Thespence Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Really happy to see things working out for Matty. He went off the rails a bit off the field after fair bit s*** happening to him & his family. Mamelodi Sundowns coach Hristo Stoichkov told the Siya crew that he is surprised that Matty Pattison has not been included in the Bafana Bafana squad. Pattison endured a slow start to his PSL career, receiving lots of criticism after Stoichkov chose to employ him on the left-wing. However, the midfielder came into his own as soon as the Sundowns coach moved him into his preferred central midfield position. “Pattison has been the best player. Not only at Sundowns, but in the whole PSL this season. I am surprised why a good coach like Carlos Alberto Parreira cannot include him in his World Cup team,” he said. http://www.soccerladuma.co.za/index.php?node=28&id=24857 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
