    She missed three, and got off the first one on a technicality (phone on silent). It wouldn't have been accepted as an excuse if she was Russian, or eastern European.

    I am not sure sleeping in an oxygen tent is in the spirit of higher, faster, stronger either.
    Mo Farrah (well known brit) is on dodgy ground too IMO.

    Apart from the fact that an ET agreed she had the rest of your post is bordering on libellous and possibly says more about what goes on in your mind than hers, unless you have evidence of what you're inferring.

    I am sure that on reflection he will be bright enough to retract it!
    :police:<wah>:police:

    He might be a dick, but even I wouldn't want to see him get in any bother.

    The problem is not Taylor its Taylors agent. An agent is motivated by money and once they see an opportunity the interests of club and player are forgotten. His aim now is to move Taylor on.

    Is blood spinning still allowed when it comes to Olyimpians. That never felt right.

    First of all, an inference is taken. I think the word you're groping for is implying. :D Lesson in your own language over :D

    It is not ok to call a convicted fraudster a crook. That suggests currency, and requires proof. You may suggest inclination based on his previous behaviour, but you'd still be on shaky ground. You most certainly can speak of his previous proven criminality. Be careful out there!

    I don't believe LL suggested anything. He questioned behaviours, and illustrated the juxtaposition between acceptable habits of school teachers and academy 'mums'.

    To question or hold an opinion is not actionable. Possible exception is if it amounts to harassment.

    Just seen BetVictor won't take bets on Lescott to Leeds as there aren't enough clubs interested. Sounds like if we really are after him we'd be front runners.

    Afternoon all,

    There is no problem with relationships at work, and specifically at the club. Our President has endorsed this by appointing his family to the board. It's business, and if people in relationships (be it family or romantic) have relationship problems, they continue to work together in a professional manner, or leave. That's the way it has to be in business.

    Now in the case of Redders & Ward, there are a lot of stories around. Some with substance, some with legs. Yes, Redders was offered his old job back, but waited as long as possible to inflict as much damage on the club as was possible (intentionally or otherwise, I cover myself by saying). Accusations were made at the time that Redders & Ward were leaking information to the press which was used to damage the club. There were further accusations that this stepped up some gears after Redders left. I know not if this was true, of course, but could understand the actions of Cellino if it were indeed true, even if only in part. My biggest criticism of Cellino in this respect is that if you're going to take action like this, you do it in a professional manner. The court outcome proved that he didn't. Perhaps he needs to appoint an HR Manager.

    Just come back from Old Byland today (N Yorks), was stuck behind a HGV going up a hill called Sutton Bank, I saw the warnings about the gradient on the approach but it isn't till you try and climb it in 1st or 2nd gear you realise how steep it is...

    Lescott if we can get him and afford him would be just what we need.

    Used to go gliding from the top of that.
    Did you notice the white horse of Kilburn or the hole of Horcum on your travels?
