@Daily_Hotspur@Tim_Vickery@Tim_Vickery hasn’t tweeted about Romero since 2024 and that was Cesar Romero. Lovely to see a clubs fans trading their allegiance for a sniff of clout when their club is facing imminent disaster though 🍿
@DanNeidle The PM’s alternative would have been to summarily dismiss him, no? which would have been risky legally absent any process. Ofc Mandy would have needed the chutzpah to threaten proceedings but if he had, no choice but to embarassingly settle
Nothing says "board of peace" like having two founding members not show up to the signing ceremony because they would be arrested at the airport for war crimes.
Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇
@simo7pne Seriously though. There will be evidence. Lots of it. Your issue is whether there’s enough to meet the absurdly high standard you seem to think should apply to your player. He must be gnashing his teeth. People should probably cover their shoulders and necks
@simo7pne No. You’re right actually. Let’s just apply the criminal standard of proof to all legal and regulatory proceedings. I’m sure that will work out splendidly
@simo7pne And my issue is that your club and fans think that footballers are entitled to insist beyond reasonable doubt should be applied despite it having been like this for years and the racism that would go unchecked, just because your player has come a cropper. Its entitled & pathetic
@simo7pne Firstly, they’re not comparators; they show policy accepts this proof standard for far graver cases (e.g., risking kids’ welfare) than a racism ban. That undercuts your argument for higher proof—if people in more serious cases accept it, footballers and fans should too
@iampav@pnefc Listen, I respect your right to hold an opinion on the matter as a direct eyewitness, but the commission will have heard a more rounded picture and people could do with putting their loyalties to one side and respecting these decisions a little bit more for the good of the game
@AnthonyM92486 @pnefc In very simple non-lawyer language, he can appeal if the commission made a mistake. He can’t appeal just because he disagrees with the facts that they decided
@iampav@pnefc Just wait for the reasons. Also, the if the balance of probabilities can be used to decide, among many things, whether a wife alleging domestic abuse gets a non-molestation order, it should be good enough for this
