Like others before him - Greenwood being just the latest example - Russell Brand is done for except, possibly, on social media.  Which Council or business will hire out their local arena for his stand up show, which employer (BBC/ITV/Sky/BT) will canvass his views or use him, which mainstream media outlet will pay him to write articles or present programmes, which company will employ him as an after dinner speaker?  They will all fight shy of an inevitable backlash if they were to do so. His career is already toast.

And yet.  He has not been found guilty of anything. May not be guilty of anything other than being an odious character making the most of their power like many others, male and female, have done before him.  Perhaps finding four people to tell similar stories wasn't very hard for a very, very promiscuous man (his own words). It was probably a large pool of people to ask. He has been tried and judged by Dispatches and the Sunday Times and found guilty in the court of public opinion.

I still can't see why we can't have, in these cases, anonymity on both sides until guilt is properly established. It protects both sides - how many people are, at this moment, trying to find out who the accusers really are; how much 'fishing' for other accusers are the police currently doing, to add to bonfire; how many people are putting themselves forward as victims who have never actually met Brand; how long will this process of identification and investigation take as others now put themselves forward?

If he's found to be guilty after due process he's fair game.  At that point perhaps others would step forward and have their cases established, or not.  But at the moment in our society in these type of cases guilt rather than innocence is what is presumed.  That should worry us all, imo.

I like your description "an odious character",well written sir

Is there someone on here who deals in old programmes? I have a boxful of 30-odd from my Dad that date from the late 50s to the early 70s. No idea what to do with them

Charles Hanson,auctioneers in Derby have a sports auction ,maybe 2 or 3 times a year,I am sure if you speak with them they would have a look at your fathers collection,maybe there might be one or two special ones,I would think that an auction site is the best way for you to go,and with the internet,think of your audience you will have,good luck

Womens football teams need to be fit on the field,to run and run and more run

At the world cup on Sunday most of the English girls looked unfit,carrying to much weight,compare them with the Spanish team,Spains girls looked "lean and mean"

So team managers look at their girls diet,nutricion,and training routine,and make more use of the scales,slim them down

Emma Hayes said she was insulted to be linked with then League One Wimbledon as she was managing Chelsea at the Woman’s Champions League level. What makes you think we could attract an international level manager?  

Bu we are Derby

Selina Weigman might be a good replacement,she is not doing to bad with the womans team taking them all the way to a final against Spain,put Warne on Gardening leave

Any ideas what McGoldrick is doing wrong,3 games in,no goals

Just had my old (5 yrs ish) Windows 10 laptop crash a couple of times because of overheating. Not sure why, there’s no heavy load when I check in task manager.

Anyway I guess it’s time for a new laptop. I have never used Windows 11 so am unsure as to the spec needed. No gaming will be done 😄 so will 8gb be enough memory and will I need video memory?

I have the same problem with a mag box,found that by raising mag box off whatever it is sitting on,so air can circulate,and by having a small electric/battery fan next to mag box with air circulating over  the box the overheating problem is overcome.Hope this helps

I usually do seasonal accas involving about 10 teams. Last season I got pretty close but for a couple.

Liverpool - PL winners

Burnley - Promoted

Sheff Wed - Promoted

Leipzig - Top 4

Inter - Top 4

Atletico Madrid - Top 4

Celtic - Winners

Porto - Winners

Brazil - Group winners

England - Group winners

I think it was over 50/1 and I put about $50 on it.

I’ll do one again this season but I haven’t decided which teams yet.

I find you get more value in ‘top 4’ compared to winners and the promoted instead of champions gives a little leeway. My Liverpool prediction was horrible though.

The local council prohibited the fires because of fear of setting fire to the nearby mountain. Yet just a couple of miles away they were permitted. I suppose that's what happens when the Mayor set fire to the whole mountain a couple of years ago by setting off fireworks.

Cant be to careful.
