Which is why I'm not a lawyer. Emotions however are very real, and there have been several times in my professional career where I have had to treat and care for patients that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire should I encounter them in the street. However, I have a professional duty of care and have to get on with it. Doesn't mean I do so with a happy heart - I just have no grounds for professional conscientious objection in these cases. 76191[/snapback] Well, knowing one or two people working in law, I know that most judges have emotions too. It's just about to deal with them - especially in the way they are entitled to it by law. Nobody is going to make easy decisions, especially in cases like the one this topic is about. But to be fair, how much of background information do people on here have. What was the original sentence in detail? What's the tariff? What about the concrete decision of the parole board? There is no mistake about the original crime being horrific. And I can understand people demanding draconic punishment. But on the other hand, over 30 years in prison is already a very long time. And the life afterwards will most likely not be an easy one. The murderer will most likely remain an outcast until the end of his life (just because of that it would already be madness to return to his former home). Other things judges have to make their mind up are about the danger to public. Again this depends on the original crime. It was horrific and shocking, yes. But was it sexually motivated? If not then the danger of reoffending is pretty low as it is "normal" murderers. He killed his own children, if it wasn't for some kind of sadistic affection he won't do it again. I could go on and on about the process of decision making that is (legally) required. I don't want to be patronising (especially not to catmag, whose post I chose to respond to), but I often wonder how quick people are able to make their conclusions on the base of very little facts. That's why I normally chose to keep away from these discussions. They are most often misleading and have nothing to do with how things really are and work.

Gemmill will be in denial watching it...

Fair enough, that he wanted to spend the time with his wife. I still think he and his staff should watch how players do in games, not just in training, even if it are reserve games. And that especially because we are speaking of the man who - to the amusement of the crowd - threw on the famous Ali Dia because he couldn't spot in training that this man is everything but not an international football player. 76135[/snapback] I'm pretty sure Tommy Craig is capable enough of telling Souness who played well, who didn't etc. but you would have thought Murray and/or Saunders would have went though. 76143[/snapback] I thought about Craig. But how much involved is he in the first team affairs (i.e. coaching)? I don't think very much. I think it's the responsibility of those people or are doing the coaching and team selection to check on the reserves and not just go by hearsay from the reserve team manager.

My impression from Bobby's autobiography was that FS did not interfere. 76141[/snapback] Oops, then please ignore me. I just went by what I gathered via the media as I only have the old edition that doesn't involve his time at Newcastle.

I don't agree with the 'not interfering' bit. I do think FS does back his managers, but also wants to have too much of a word to say in dealing with the team himself. That is at least how I understand some remarks from Bobby Robson. I think businesswise FS is probably not as bad as often is made out (though I am a bit sceptical about some things). But in my opinion it would certainly be better if Shepherd would concentrate on these things and let managers run the team affairs and also be a bit more media shy.

Yeah, we're pretty similar to Chelsea having won by just the one goal And the longer the game went on, the more the fans were thinking "Shouldn't we actually have scored by now? We're playing fucking MANSFIELD TOWN for fuck's sake!" 76000[/snapback] Yep, the beeb match reports also suggest that Chelsea were as struggling as Newcastle... While taking from Newcastle's match report...

I am, but I could have done with a replay...

Fair play to Shearer and the reaction from the crowd. Still, the tosser should be sacked the moment the final whistle is blown.

To be fair, they are probably at the match.

Bollocks to Kennedy Im still amazed at how seriously those daft shites took that pisstake! "Is that BT?, I want to report two of your users who have been taking the piss out of alien spotters" "Fuck off" 75874[/snapback] I was just browsing around while listening to the game. First I looked up if I could find a photo of Ali Dia to make my new avatar and was necessarily reading those story again and again. Then this...

"They totally deserve it. For me, they have been the better side." No comment.

Either Souness is trying to get sacked rather as soon as possible or he is just taking the piss. Is he really playing Solano on the left?

Incidentally the bullet wasn't 'pristine'. More bollocks I'm afraid. 75837[/snapback] Correct 75842[/snapback] Most conspiracy books etc. show it from a different angle where it looks to still be a normal shape. 75845[/snapback] 75846[/snapback] What has a golden dildo got to do with it?

I think it were those goddamn aliens from Roswell.

I'd liked to see the fat controller's face when he got told that Robert wants to speak to him on the phone...

And utter nonsense in the Independent... http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/co...ticle337034.ece

Isn't that where he is running around anyway. I have the strange feeling that it will a more or less 'normal' cup game with Mansfield getting stuffed by at least 5-6 goals and easing the pressure from Souness (until Fulham away). Another poor performance would be very embarassing.

We'll probably see Chopra on the right and Luque on the left wing in a sort of 4-5-1/4-3-3 way.

He saved Souness' job tbh... Hmmm.... (insert dodgy conspiracy theory here)

Somebody should kidnap Alex McLeish...

Ah, that's bullying. Making jokes for you 'inside' people in England I fail to understand (google is no help either). 75294[/snapback] Character in Viz Magazine mate. Tells jokes in English (a foreign language) which get lost in translation-but the way they get lost is funnier than the actual joke itself. Your English is marginally better than my'spreken zie Deutsch' though I have to confess. 75309[/snapback] Och, that's even more bullyish. Accusing a Jorman of trying to make a joke. We did invade nations for less. (And we don't say "like", just to make this clear).

Flounce! 75259[/snapback] I'm serious, I can take it but it feels different when you're just chipping in as opposed to the one getting the flak. 75265[/snapback] Yep, that is totally unfair, I do agree. I do also think it's extremely bullyish when motorists do not change their direction when there is someone driving against the traffic...

There is animosity about house prices...but if you have a different accent, people aren't necessarily hostile because you are more likely to be a holiday maker. 75237[/snapback] That's because you have to rely on tourism in Cornwall though surely, not because you are so friendly to outsiders. You paint this region as being hostile to outsiders and having a racist underbelly, yet there is far more ethnic diversity up here than there is in Cornwall. 75243[/snapback] I've never had a problem in ze norz. Unfortunately I cannot say ze same about ze souz.
