Absolutely priceless isn't it, once he's challenged on the comments he claims it isn't a serious blog. Pathetic.

It's the kind of tripe that EE would come out with. I love that we get help from referee's at Goodison I was delighted to beat them on the night, after reading that I'm even happier we did.

It was the constant references to our relationship with Manchester United that I found funny.

Have refrained from posting about Utd going level on points with city as it will more than likely be back to a 3 pont lead for city after this weekends games.

Why though? What's wrong with having a ground given to you? Better than paying for it surely?!

TBF you can, and probably, will go through the whole thing laughing it's that much of a joke.

Of course it is, but the only reason Citeh aren't playing in a shed is because a stadium was given to them. They didn't earn it, they can't even fill it, so for Citeh fans to go around sh*tting on those 'below' them because they fluked a stadium is pretty laughable, as they don't even own a stadium to gloat about.

"I don't know much about Everton, but I know it is a good club, always in the middle of the table.

Belter quote from Jelavic that.

next England captain? Rio? Not fit enough? Gerrard? Won't start Rooney? Not disciplined enough.

You're probably quite right but there's nothing to say that the company may view it as a final written with rehabilitation/learning (whatever you want to call it) to prevent the issue arising again. After all, any good union representative will tell you that disciplinary procedures are there primarily to rehabilitate not punish. That being the case why wouldn't you treat it as such? Whether Liverpool choose to do so or not is where the ethical question lies not in whether they are entitled to manage it that way.

Absolutely, they may view it as a final written warning but I can't imagine many companies that would if they didn't buy that it was in effect a misunderstanding (as happened here).

I agree with everything else you say regarding difference between disciplinary and court.

I'd never take employment law advice from a TU representative, albeit that there are some good ones.
