From Nick Wallis' report of the closing speeches in the Peggie v RCN tribunal hearing. In the context of the RCN clearly being in fear of / in thrall to GI, it's probably the least surprising thing to come out of the case.

At least he could galvanise and organise a frustrating defence, you would hope. It's not a wildly exciting appointment (if it happens) but we could have said the same about Moyes at the time. The squad has potential in the right hands...

To be fair to Alexander he's always had a decent managerial win rate, currently 50% at Bradford. He's played more football than just about anyone. That's before we even get to the #pnefc legend stuff.

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

OTD in 1939, in accordance with requirements of Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, USSR handed Polish town of Bialystok over to the Nazis. As part of what we say was “preventing a genocide”, we handed 100,000 people to the Nazis. Who were very nice to all of them.

"I have become increasingly convinced that we are heading for a disastrous confrontation and that the 21st century will be remembered for a terrible war between mankind and goats"

Goat war: an apology
FRIDAY'S Argus featured a Your Interview with Richard Robinson.
We would like to clarify that the quote "I have become increasingly convinced that we are heading for a disastrous confrontation and that the 21st century will be remembered for a terrible war between mankind and goats" was a reader question and not a response from Mr Robinson.
The next paragraph: "People often underestimate how dangerous a goat can be - I personally know six people who have become severely injured by goats, and the annual death toll racked up by goats is over
2,000,000",
, is also a reader question and not a response from Mr Robinson.
The Argus is happy to correct this and would like to apologise for the error.

I think there is a nervousness about "up and coming managers" Lowe and Westley were awful choices. Number 2's gave us Irvine and Simpson (by no means our least successful recent managers). Experienced gave us Phil Brown and Darren Ferguson - enough said.

The temptation for many at #pnefc will be to want an experienced EFL, preferably Championship manager. The applicants we are likely to get however will be journeymen managers with average CV's looking for their umpteenth job. Which is drawing me to think, why not Robbie Keane?

If he was nowhere near the bridge on the day and the CCTV - which is quite clear - is of someone else, one or both of those things should have been readily provable. Harsh perhaps, but perfectly innocent people have faced greater pressure against apparently compelling evidence in the past.
