Steve Woods released with immediate effect ??

Hmmn, and I'd guess you'd store the removed appendage in a freezer just in case it was later proved there had been a miscarriage of justice.

There's a case just finished in the Court of Appeal where DNA evidence has proved that a man who has served thirty years inside for murder was in fact innocent....................he's going to have enough problems adjusting to outside life after spending half of his life in gaol ~ bloody good job he hadn't been executed then!

Stick to putting people in the village stocks if you really yearn for capital punishment Dave, or in your case - the ducking stool
!

There will be times when someone is found guilty when they really were Innocent, I'm sure some Innocent people have been hanged, got fried in the electric chair, but it is the lack or proper punishments that will act as deterrents that is responsible for this lawless country we now live in.

We should have the death penalty brought back, I can think on many killings and some involving children being abused and killed, that I would have hanged the murder myself.

To much PC and human rights nonsense has seen the very fabric of our society destroyed, so many values have been lost and so many who committed crimes go unpunished or get very soft sentences, that serve no purpose as they do not act in any way to make offenders think twice the next time the want to rob or cause someone some injury.

Stopping teachers canning at schools was a big mistake, discipline needs to be taught from an early age, everyone needs to know what is right from wrong and that crossing the line punishment awaits.

There was a time when milkmen would just walk into the homes of old folks to collect their milk money, the doors to the house unlocked and the money left on the sideboard, today they need to have great big chains on their front doors and its because we no longer punish the scum that think its just fine to rob or rape, or molest children, or even kill another person, with proper hard punishments, that crime is so much worse these days.

Its time to stop being soft, time to let those who feel its OK to destroy other peoples life's by their actions, that they will no longer get away with it, take a life and you will lose your own.I would never want to see an Innocent person hanged, but if one was and we hanged 99 murders then its a price that would have to be paid.

Don't worry, I would not cut of their hands to start with, first offense just one finger and then two for the second, they would learn in the end,if not they end up with no fingers and that will stop them as they would not be able to pick things up.

Lets get back to decent values and stop thinking we have to rehabilitate the villains, it does not work, they are laughing at us and the only way to wipe those smiles off their smug faces to treat them the way they deserved to be treated and that is like the scum they are.

Hi all---and Dave R in particular,
As you are aware I am regular reader and only post now and again.
I do understand that you dont intend replying---but I have been staggered with your reaction ref Steve Woods.
I also am amazed that fellow supporters pm you regarding this matter---why dont they post on here cos as you often say its all about different opinions.
Just feel in all these matters we have to support the regime and keep the faith.....that is what supporting is all about.
Having said that for the rest of the season if you keep away and we win 4-0 ....we will all be happy
Keep the faith ....we are on the march!!!!!
Cheers

Well seeing that you have targeted your post at me I will reply, many who do PM are in a position that as they are known at the club,have to be mindful of their relationship with the club.

Why would you be staggered, if life is just about winning and having to stamp all over everyone else and with no thought for them or anyone else, sorry I would rather lose.

In life there is always a right and wrong way to do things, if you are the sort who would be happy to walk all over other people just to get where you want, then you can slag me off all you want, at least I will have the satisfaction of knowing I'm a decent person who cares for others and would do the right thing by them.

If it was the wish of people I stayed away from Plainmoor then so be it, my life has much more in it than a football team and if it was ever the case that the club where I have been to every game this season except two, was guilty of treating players in a disgusting way(I said if as I only know what is told to me and that is why I state that in my posts)then you can trust me when I say I will make up my own mind not to support such a club.

Dave,

I think every poster would wish you would stay away for the rest of the season if that would guarantee a win and scoring four goals in the process

In respect of the Woods sitiuation I'm with Aussie on this one.

Oh OK then, let's keep a dissatisfied Woodsie on and off the treatment table for the rest of the season just so he can wave to the crowd and say bye bye. Then if we miss out on promotion we can have yet another poll and the usual suspects can jump on the manager's back and scream "this is a results driven business, results are everything - get rid of the manager!"

Managers get players to play successfully whilst players often get managers the sack, if I were Paul Buckle I wouldn't sit idly by and indulge an aging and fading player who is in and out of the treatment room by accommodating him at the expense of a clutch of good young players with prospects.
