Re: O\T roadworks/ temporary traffic lights

Why not finish one job before starting another one , use all the available labour and plant to finish in the shortest possible time. I went past the junction at Rossendale Rd yesterday around 9.45 there was one guy working and another watching. Hopefully more resources will be made available soon.

Re: Arijanet Muric

Lets all get excited about how Muric played last night . He had an average game.

He made a couple of regulation saves.

He caught a number of poor crosses.

He takes 50% of the blame for the goal.

At times his distribution was adequate at times woeful.

Will the new findings by the Cricket Discipline Commission form some sort of precedent for future hearings? By finding Vaughan not guilty it implies they believe his version and not that of Rafiq.
