Partly in his defence he did state he wouldn’t take money from schools and hospitals to fund an event that lasts 12 days.
Slightly related, I always thought the dear old Queen and the gravitas she had glued the Commonwealth together, with her sadly gone, not just the games, will the whole...
Not so sure.
Its not an acquittal, unfortunately he’s also been tried in the court of public opinion, with Womens football in a strong position both in the UK and globally, I can’t see the FAW having him back given the original charges, whether proved or otherwise.
Didn't Roebuck turn out to be bit of a 'complex character'?
Helped Somerset to inexplicably get shot of Richards, Garner and Botham, then ended up taking his own life after a non cricket related issue?
Sad that anyone has to be in the place that they have to do that.
I will kick off with The King.
As depicted in the film, Col Tom Parker wanted Elvis to finish the 68 Comeback Special with a Xmas number, but he insisted on this instead, singing to a nation, and beyond, against the backdrop of two high profile shootings, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy...
Thanks.
Have watched it now, like most I’m going to be Team Botham, Chappell just can’t seem to let things go, quite sad to see a gifted sportsman so bitter and twisted about basically banter in a pub.
Good luck with that 🙈
The majority the current sitting of the court of public opinion will forever state ‘he got away with it’.
Mendy’s career, perhaps even his life, is effectively ruined.
But the biggest losers in all this are the women who are actually raped, some as recent as last...
Reading the Wikipedia profile, it’s the gambling addiction issue that hits home, yet years later despite lip service from various quarters top level sport is so reliant on the gambling companies.
I know the shirt sponsorship issue is being addressed but that’s merely the tip of the iceberg.
In light of the Dele Alli interview, ex Chelsea favourite dead at 74, his Wikipedia page paints an extremely sad story of addiction and illness.

RIP
Be it 10 years or 10 months he was only ever merely passing through.
Like Potters deal at Chelsea, it’s generational money, he’s effectively safeguarding the future of his children and any potential grandchildren, none of us can blame him if they come calling with their cash.

Before the moaning starts for a certain generation part of our youth.
And at 60 taken far too early. 😞
On a very minuscule scale I’ve made no secret of the fact my life went totally off the rails, mentally I was shot, and entered into a totally ill judged relationship with a very calculating female.
Unfortunately by the very nature that he’s high profile and paid £430,000 a year out of the...
Or someone else is coming or has come in on top money?
I thought it was three of them, on the top wage earner clause, Dunk, Gross and Lalana, rumoured to be £90,000 per week each so if we have gone over the £100,000 a week threshold , does it also apply to the other two, and now hopefully Moises?
Sad times, as was part of the Albion journey, August 2000 2.55pm 'Bring on the Champions', 3.50pm Kuipers you're off. ;) 5.05pm Micky nearly laid out Millard after a stupid question in the press conference.
The only person I ever ignored on here was the person who started the window licker thread the night of 7th October 2008, caused a complete shit storm, when it wasn't neccessary.
I don't think they are even around now which probably speaks volumes.
