Tale of woe, but are there seriously many clubs in the comp that we couldn't do one of these for?

[Guest]

I read in the paper yesterday the father of the girl was talking to the paper just as they were leaving for the hospital. How the hell does the paper get in there so fast and why would the father bother talking to anyone before having his girl checked out?

[Guest]

He cant remember anything yet he denies the charge? That would not hold up at my place....with the judge I have....

The trial by the media is terrible. I don't know what happened and I don't care who it is, all this reporting is not right. A jury member can jepoardise a case if they the visit site where the crime occured yet this is different?

He should not be playing this weekend though.

now according to ch 9 news, the girls father has apparently been previously arrested and charged with fraud !

Makes me wonder though Muz, if it was dodgey would he have not hit the club first to get money out of him ?
Or did he already and they told him to get nicked
