You can't say that it's 'fact', prior to the boy's allegation which led to the meeting at his house; nowhere within the report is that said, regardless of what might be a general view, looking from...

You can't say that it's 'fact', prior to the boy's allegation which led to the meeting at his house; nowhere within the report is that said, regardless of what might be a general view, looking from...
No need for reiteration; it was all over the press, obviously. The point is: that was the QC’s opinion, but not necessarily fact; which is why I say it was ‘a big call’. He is effectively, and very...
I’ve read large chunks of it. I think the verdict on DG is contentious to say the least. There are contradictory statements concerning the meeting at the boy’s house, which I feel is understandable...

Max had a cruciate ligament reconstruction, and has since - at Blackpool - had continual problems with...
Agreed Aston, and good luck with the ensuing debate with Mike. Would just - pedantically perhaps! - point out that that linesman was Azerbaijani, not a Kazakh, and even has a stadium named after him...
In all probability Mick, Jason has been able to get the type of games and experience, that have resulted in his current level of performance, simply because he was released. That's just the way it...
[QUOTE=ruocul;38842927]
Sounded form the commentary that my favourite midfielder was absolutely dreadful when he came on. /QUOTE]
Whether Lowery was the right substation or not, I listened as...
Well it’s certainly a shame we won’t see the lad play for Crewe. I’m not sure we can hang this on EPPP though. The reported upfront fee seems higher than that which the formula for determining...
I agree they come across as cold and legalistic, but they’re on the defensive aren’t they? It wouldn’t do them any harm to come out with a robust statement about their safeguarding (which will have...
Good to see you're still around VindePays! (I recall you telling us of a heart attack some years back.) I have to say I'd vowed in the summer not to spend my time on here, or a 'sort of' equivalent...
It's been a bit confusing in the press gobstopper/itwasin, but actually it's two different players, but the same alleged abuser. Gary Johnson was a player who was paid some money by Chelsea, and the...
Well it's difficult for any one of us to speak for our body of fans, least of all you VFIP, since you're either a Port Vale fan or a 'troll' or both. As a club, Crewe are clearly on the defensive....
Of course we see how bad it looks, which is why so many are fuming at the misrepresentation. Initially, someone from the floor broached the subject of Barry Bennell. He was stopped in his tracks by...
This was my public reply, via Facebook, to one of the Guardian articles:
" It's indicative of the times, that the police advised an employer to 'move on' a suspected *****phile. 'Move on' to whom?...
Show me a midfielder who doesn't misplace a pass, or get caught in possession. I can think of a number of occasions when Lowery himself has caught an opponent in possession. I'll decline the offer of...
First of all Mike, I haven't criticised ruocul/lukcour over 'facts', at all, anywhere! I have merely mildly criticised him for presenting his own opinions almost 'as fact'!
Secondly, my assertion...
"I would never do that to anyone" - but you do, whether you realise it or not!
Since Dagnall, Bowery & Porter are all forwards you would expect them to be the higher goalscorers, but that evades the point. They are experienced players so comparisons with our youth are...
"The players we have signed..." - do you mean those on loan or the senior players signing contracts?
The loans: Stubbs, a young lad not quite good enough to hold down a place. Grant: any better...
Yes, congratulations to George. You have to hope he’ll do well there, not just for himself, but also for the potential add-ons to come Crewe’s way.
Sorry to contribute to your boredom AlexLeicester,...
"and what have we got since? less than one million in sales over 5 years? and a team struggling in L1 and L2" (Mike SB)
As so often, you've completely disregarded what I outlined during the...
You must be one of the few people who don't believe that the level and intensity of coaching doesn't make any difference. Crewe attract boys from a certain number of miles beyond what you call...
Look at it this way. Over a six year period a Category 2 Academy costs £4.5m. The Powell transfer was in place just before the categories (and increased costs) were established. That was £3m, but...
Some fair points there Mike, though I do think Crewe's selling point is still the lure of first team football, to learn the professional game before moving on - upwards they hope of course.
It'll...
Are our youngsters really so far behind the quality produced in previous years?
Take out the obvious exception of Nick Powell, who was a 'one-off', then we have in recent years had Westwood playing...
