Naughton is a smart, smart footballer. Always has been.
Given that it's probably not all that much of a surprise to see him adapt to Ronald in much the same way as he did to basically anyone else who has played ahead of him on the right.
Key is a fine player and he'll continue to do well for us, but there's still room for learning there. Fortunately he has an excellent role model to help him do just that. |

The limits on the A4067 were dropped in response to two dickheads killing a girl by racing at 90mph. Quite why that required a reduction in the speed limit to 40mph is a mystery, but this is the same mentality behind the blanket 20mph requirements.
Maybe if they'd installed speed cameras but kept the limit at 60mph then people wouldn't keep cutting the cameras down. |

Absolutely none of it is down to Racism, and all of it is down to him being utterly incompetent/borderline corrupt in every post he's ever held.
He's taking no more stick than Drakeford did, and a whiter individual it's hard to imagine. Maybe a Drakeford who's into Morris Dancing would theoretically be whiter. |

There is very little between Skewen and Glais that needs to be 20mph, and even when there is justification for it (when the schools are open) there is never a GoSafe van to be found. They'd rather nab people at Evenings and Weekends, making the cash grab nature of them even more obvious. |

Must admit, Eighteen months ago I thought he was on the way out. Should have known better than to judge a defender based on Russy's coaching, but that's on me.
Was basically flawless after coming into the team last season until he got injured. Probably fitter than most of the players younger than him. If he plays 20-30 games next season we could do a lot, lot worse. |

Criminal History is littered with people who confessed to things they didn't do.
The usual calls for "Frontier Justice" from the usual empty vessels aside, the article certainly raises some interesting questions. On the balance of probability the chances are that she is guilty, but it's certainly something that needs to be reviewed thoroughly. It wouldn't be the first time that medical professionals have been wrongly convicted.
Good job Lucia de Berk wasn't hanged eh Perchy?

Something about this case never sat right with me. Having worked in the public sector for many years I've seen plenty of occasions when the blame for systemic failures was placed on groups or individuals.
She may be guilty, but I'm happy with my choice to not join in the rush to condemn unlike some others. There's a bit more to come out with this I think.

*edit - The article is Geoblocked, which means important people think that the UK shouldn't be able to read it, which is concerning enough. I'll see if I can find an accessible version at some point. [Post edited 14 May 9:32]

Cyclists are all innocent lambs as pure as the driven snow who wouldn't dream of bombing past people on pavements, exceeding speed limits or ignoring red lights, whilst all pedestrians are fully aware of their surroundings at all times and couldn't possibly countenance of wandering around in dark clothing on Winter nights or of setting foot in the road without following advice simple enough to be taught to five year olds.
Cars and car drivers are always to blame. Always. Even despite extensively researched and published official figures that clearly demponstrate otherwise, it's still the drivers. [Post edited 5 May 14:35]

Maybe.
A lot of faith being placed him based on not all that much so far. The team selection yesterday was absurd. He absolutely deserves a transfer window with everyone pulling in the same direction, but we need to see consistent improvement on what we've seen since January as a result. |

Bugger Bolton.
Phil Gartside would have cheerfully pulled up the ladder behind any other club with PL aspirations in 2009 and their fans cheered him on in the process. |

For the most part, no doubt. We wasted a lot of money in the Potter season. Mind you. that we spent a lot of money in the first place is an inconvenient truth to the "Asset Strippers!" types.
Having said that, we also made some wise investments. Celina could have become a profitable asset if Potter had been replaced by a manager who wasn't instantly suspicious of a bit of creativity and flair. If he had been allowed to continue to develop his sale could have covered the cost of the rest of them and more. |

Producing ID when turning up to vote is such a no brainer of a requirement it's decidedly telling that the primary opposition to it has come from the left. |

I'm not really on board with the idea that the quality of the squad has dropped in general.
For sure this season recruitment has been "confused". We decided to move in a different direction and recruited a manager to do so, spending money to sign players to suit him. That manager failed, and we've snapped back almost 180 degrees to a different manager who doesn't want to use said players, rightly or wrongly.
Otherwise the squad has been at least of a standard needed to be competitive by Championship standards. Surely we must be past the point by now where anyone thinks that last season's squad couldn't have been capable of at least challenging for the playoffs, even if the manager obviously wasn't.
In the six seasons since we dropped to this level, for at least four of them we had a squad that could have finished in the top six. Cooper managed it. Martin failed miserably. The Potter year probably saw too much transition for a serious attempt. |

These people seem to think that all danger can be eliminated from life, and all you have to do is inconvenience millions of people based on statistically negligible risks. |

I am liking the narrative that despite basically everyone (other than a strange few) I've ever discussed the 20mph rule with thinking that it's an idiotic idea, the petition with half a million signatures on it is apparently worthless because of a few thousand votes that came from outside Wales. |
