Too old to do it again although I am sure that I am more compus mentis than some judges

I never got picked for jury duty but then I've almost never been picked in any raffle.

True a4e, i've done it twice with one banged to rights with the evidence. The second was not guilty as per the evidence but we all felt that he had something to go with the crime.

Also done 3 jury stints over the years including the Old Baily. Outcomes are very much influenced by each sides lawyers. In The old Bailey case the defence brief ran rings around the prosecutions lawyers. A not guilty verdict given, Police not happy but must say some jurors a bit lacking in grey matter.

(that’s not me defending anyone in the Manc case, I can’t take sides as I wasn’t there on the jury or at the airport)

Re Manchester, I think that unless you’re in court, and you see all of the available evidence, it’s difficult to judge - last year when I did my third stint of jury service, the case looked like a cut and dried guilty case on the initial face of things, but once the full evidence was gradually revealed to us, the opposite appeared to be the case, and a not guilty verdict resulted… By far the most complex case I’d seen as a juror, but one which looked by far the simplest when we first walked in and saw the documents in front of us.

Eesh what a nightmare [Link] (non-footy)

Jury couldn't reach a verdict twice so that's that. But I agree with you Keefy.

OI - I’m trying hard not to use smileys/emojis - I know some people hate them, and that’s fair enough, but sometimes a picture, etc….

Spit - I think he’s signed for Sutton, not us, no?

Lol [Link]

Good first signing, even went to cheam high:-)

Yep

"Not a political post" is the new smiley after a sharp remark?

No retrial for Manchester airport alleged assualt on police! It's all on camera!

2020 was a massive opportunity and we blew it

Could be playing 3rd/4th place playoff on the 18th.

Now problem is we have a very strong Spain, Argentina & France and we're at best vying for 4th spot with maybe Brazil

I think that if England were going to win something, they would have beaten a very average Italy in the 2020* Euros

World Cup final is the following day - 19th July, not that I expect England to be in it.

In other news, we have Sutton in a PSF on the 18th July

WTID - Elonex do still exist, but they're now an LED billboard company. I would guess whoever does the retro shirts would need permission beforehand from whoever owns the brand name

WTID - yes [Link]

Do Elonex still exist? Was wondering how it works with all these retro shirts that clubs are bringing out & sponsors names on them, do clubs need permission to use them? I can’t believe that if Elonex still exist that we’d be getting any momey from them 🤷🏻‍♂️

TF - JJ might think he's gone as far as he can go anyway, and if he really did fly up to Glasgow during the season, he's open to the idea of moving on.
