Ooh, some nice ones there. What chance Rangers in the Quarter Finals! 68811[/snapback] I think you should add Bayern-Milan to it too. That's at least three favourites out at this stage.

Speaking of it, can we see your invitation please.

Only by own goals tbh

There must be some small shareholders who vote a knee-jerk "no" on every single resolution, regardless of the content... either that or KPMG really have some enemies on the Newcastle auditing scene... 68010[/snapback] KPMG are some clueless w*nkers. FACT tbh

Aye, in Pompeii. 67828[/snapback] Rather St Peter's dome from what I heard tbh.

Tell us again about Chinamen's cocks. 67811[/snapback] Needing ideas for your birthday party, eh...

Herrrzlichen Glückwunsch... Due to the lack of inflatable Graeme-Souness-lovedolls available at the online shop of .cock, here is a book for you...

It looks gay tbh. No wonder that the idea came from Gemmill...

Is supasimonwood registered there? In that case it is the hardest board. FACT.

Sorry, I forgot to add "in the past week" to the title...

I agree with you but are you an American tax payer? 67460[/snapback] Without knowing the concrete Californian penal system I think that Mr. Williams had to pay for the hospitality of St Quentin State prison with the money he made from his books...

I heard the post of lunatic dictator in Iraq is up for grabs...

Well there are always doubts, especially of those people who in fact work in the legal profession and know how difficult it is to handle evidence. And there has been some doubt in this case. Not much, but at least enough for people like me to think that the death penalty is not reasonable. The vast majority of relatives in those cases concede that the feeling of consolation is rather short - if it exists at all. It certainly doesn't bring back the loved ones. That killing a murderer brings consolation is a myth created by the dead hard guys. It's them who are pleased to see a criminal die, not the relatives. And they always moan about the amount of tax payer's money the modern constitutional state costs. Ironically they are the same people who sit on the high horse when it comes to archaic legal systems like those in Arabia. While killing criminals gives the crude man from the street some little pleasure...

Hmm, what's if he was not guilty? 67395[/snapback] I don't think there was any real doubt over his guilt, the whole appeal process was built around the good work he has done since his conviction rather than being any attempt to prove his innocence. 67396[/snapback] The case wasn't cast iron, there were always minor doubts about the evidence. Williams admitted nearly everything except the murder for the whole 25 years. It wasn't about setting him free, just about downgrading the death penalty to a life sentence. I think with the remorse the man showed and his indisputable positive influence on American gang culture this might have been a good case to make use of the power of pardon. 67402[/snapback] By positive influence on gang culture do you mean he helped to start it? since his incarceration he has done many things that have been positive, but these are far outweighed by the negative influence he has had directly (by killing people) and indirectly. How many mothers who have had their sons killed as a result of the gangland culture in LA would say "Well he's written some nice kids books since the government said they were gonna kill him. We should change the rules for him." It's not even really an argument for or against the death penalty, California has chosen to continue killing people for violent murders. The inhumane part is that it has taken 25yrs, the benefits of a democratic appeals process. 67425[/snapback] 25 years, in which the criminal admitted all crimes except the murder he got the death sentence for. The paradox is as Jimbo has pointed out that if he had admitted a crime he maybe didn't commit then he would have had a better chances getting a pardon. 25 years in which it has been tried to set up a re-trial on the base of new evidence. I'm strongly opposed to the death penalty, because the idea of revenge is archaic. And it doesn't really give consolation to the victim's relatives. There is no doubt that Williams was a criminal, who deserved his stay in prison. The only question is, was he a murder and should be killed for it. Ff the death penalt is enforced then IMHO only in those cases where there is absolutely no doubt. To take the life of somebody to please the relatives of victims you have to be dead sure you get the right one.

Hmm, what's if he was not guilty?

Yes, he had to be treated in a psychiatry. After a set back last year, he's now back in both the club and the national team. To save his own career Dyer should have left the club and make a fresh start at some other club. Some people will never forgive him anything.

I haven't heard anything about Bayern being interested over here. I do rate Huth very highly, but don't think he is what currently is needed at Newcastle. He is much too raw and prone to mistakes and clumsy in the tackle. If Newcastle were in for a German defender they should give Nowotny a consideration. He was out with a cruciate ligament damage and sued his club during that time, so they sacked him. If (and that is a very big IF) he can reach his full fitness again he would be the sort of commanding defender Newcastle needed.

Would you like to elaborate? I'm not trying to be clever, just genuinely confused... 67185[/snapback] German Dungeonmaster tbh. 67189[/snapback] Not knowing this term I tried to look it up.... And got this: On occasion, dungeon master might be used within the BDSM community or fiction to describe the owner or master of a BDSM dungeon a place more or less equipped and decorated for the playing out of BDSM sexual fantasies. Hmm, so you are not only a bit too familiar with homosexual terms... 67196[/snapback] It was off a kid's cartoon you big mincer! He spoke in unintelligible riddles much like yourself. 67197[/snapback] Pah, if you had watched less TV as a kid you might have a larger vocabulary and wouldn't struggle with my sentences.

Would you like to elaborate? I'm not trying to be clever, just genuinely confused... 67185[/snapback] Whatever part Gilberto played in getting Jenas sent off in the away tie, it's no excuse for Ameobi (or Faye as I have seen it) clapping for another player getting sent off. The same applies in general for all sorts of fouls/cheating when always is pointed with the finger at others than the own mistake being admitted.

I don't like it when the wrongdoing of others is used as an excuse for the own mistreatment of fair play.

Is that an euphemism for "scare away"?
