This is lazy journalism. He is a suspect, not the accused. The term comes from the journalist`s belief that during questioning, the suspect will be accused of complicity. It's common - but inaccurate - parlance by some journalists.

But were they arrested as witnesses, or were they also suspected of involvement? Similar to the talk of Swansea fans being arrested: it is far more likely that they were arrested because it is believed that one or more of them were under suspicion of involvement: but the only way to hold them...

I disagree with this. A person's arrest deprives them of their liberty for questioning and further inquiries because they are suspected of involvement in a crime. I do not know of any cases where witnesses are arrested. Witnesses are questioned without being arrested.

If you're referring to me as one of these `people for real`: Read the post

This is a fascinating development, and it will be of great interest to any defence solicitors involved, who would instinctively question the quality of the police investigations when someone is eliminated from enquiries so soon after arrest. It's tempting to speculate much further but it would...

I'm not going to get into an argument, I'm not in the mood with all this going on. You referred to `these players` as a collective. They are not, they are individuals, which you later acknowledged. How you would `see` if they are able to cope: you'd talk to them and those closest to them and...

You can't judge them as a whole, but as 5 individuals: see how each one is coping individually. If they're up to it, they play. If they wouldn't be able to cope with the crowd, they don't. But they are innocent men and should be considered as such, thus available to turn out

I think part of what's driving Tom on is the annoying, half hidden smirk on the face of the man in the photograph. It's almost Mona Lisa-like. Like he knows something that we don't (which he does of course). It's irksome.

This is as tough as it gets: if the mamba had attacked the lion instead of sliding past there would have been no contest. But the orcas attack in pods! I shall take this one right into the voting booth, it's just too close to call. Bring back the HB from the dead....

There is no chance of it running on Meridian because a man in Southampton has just lost a £2 coin and that's their new top story

John Dunlop trained a horse at Arundel called Snaffi Dancer. He was bought very young for £10m, a world record. He went lame and never ran a race. Ended up going out to stud. I guess that's where analogy ends.

Add a couple of quid for a cup of tea and you're close to £10: you'll get a great deal at most greasy spoons for half that

I just tried to vote for snake - didn't realise poll had closed. It could have been the last minute of injury time winner.....

Never quite been the same since chocolate advent calendars came in. As a boy, the thrill was simply in opening another door, you didn't need chocolate. (that said, I currently have two chocolate ones, one from each sprog!!)

I'm afraid I'm a floodlight spotter when I drive. Signs are a must

For various reasons, Saturday was only my second visit to the Amex. My impressions were 1. A great build up of the atmosphere before the match, songs to sing along with, absolutely brilliant 2. Loved it that the Coventry fans also joined in with the songs 3. Loved the blonde Gully's girl who...

I've never driven past it and I don't think I ever will. I promised myself that would change when Falmer happened, but in my mind, going down the Shoreham Road means to see the Brighton Aces, not visit bloody Toys R Us. Too many memories, I really don't want to see a retail park on such an...

She really did: I'm sure someone smart can drum up a link :lol:

As used by the deliciously naive BBC Breakfast weather presenter Carol Kirkwood this week. Apparently sent in by a helpful viewer to explain the weather `oop north` (as opposed to down south!)
