[ummmm]

I think Zeuhl, so far, has made the best point(s)!

[bednobs]

but baz, (again i haven't followed the trial) what was the point in the prosecution discrediting the lip reading as not accurate, if JT himself said he HAD said what he was accused of? PS as i said i have not followed the trial closely, but believe this was the "right" outcome from what i have seen written here and on the news

[Zeuhl]

baz

your intellectual ability doesn't carry you very far before personal insults have to step in to fill the cracks?

what you think is <wriggling and squirming> is called finding weaknesses in your argument

perhaps you could identify which part of my posts isn't a reasonable interpretation or observation?

[bazwillrun]

Lets see what those mugs at the FA do now hes been found not guilty, their "inquiry" continues next week ...best thing for this bunch of spineless PC muppets would be to say nothing because its over as far as the court of the land is concerned

[Zeuhl]

Mr Angry from the Saloon Bar has spoken!
:-)

[bazwillrun]

Its pretty obvious that some of you are deeply hurt by the not guilty verdict and are really struggling, must be a bitter pill to swallow.

Never mind eh, keep posting all the ifs and buts and should haves you like he was found not guilty

[ummmm]

I thought he should be found not guilty.

[bazwillrun]

"what you think is <wriggling and squirming> is called finding weaknesses in your argument "

sorry didnt realise I was in court now.

i really cant see why some of you have such a problem with this not guilty verdict

[bednobs]

i'm not sure that anyone HAS said that baz?

[Zeuhl]

That's not obvious at all

What is obvious is that some people are rather embittered, angry and frustrated by life in general. And, rather sadly, cling on to ridiculous court cases such as this as some sort of comfort.

[bednobs]

sorry, re-reading it horseshoes and craft said that, but everyone else has agreed with the not guilty

[Zeuhl]

<<I thought he should be found not guilty.>>

Yes, I think that was reasonable.

But as I wrote earlier, it would have been even better if JT had stepped up and acknowledged that that is what happens and doesn't necessarily make him a 'racist'

Ironically, I think that would have served his reputation better than the Not Guilty verdict

[Bazile]

O J Simpson was found not guilty

[ummmm]

And what has OJ got to do with this?

[flip_flop]

Bazile - I think (dredging the memory banks) that was because a key part of the prosecution's case was the glove that was found and which, during the trial when Simpson was told to put the glove on, was clearly much too small for his hand.

[Zeuhl]

Lots of people are Bazile.

There's this thing called 'reasonable doubt'

Of course, there is a difference between Not Guilty and Innocent

[ummmm]

And that was a murder case. Not a case of saying naughty words in the heat of the moment.

[Zeuhl]

OJ wouldn't have taken any sh1t from JT!

[emmie]

baz, i am not suggesting the magistrate is crooked, more that another footballer gets away with something mere mortals do not. If you lambasted your work colleague with the same racially laden expletives, it's likely you would be in the dock. And not go away with a not guilty verdict. If he didn't say any of those words, why did they take him to court.

[Bazile]

Really ? - no sh1t

The reason for my post seems to have gone over your head
