Someone alleged that the parents of the child were her murderers despite the fact that both the UK and Portuguese police have ruled out that theory. Accusing an innocent person of murder is an extremely serious offence. Tread carefully or you may be the one that ends up behind bars

Parma cashed in and sent £120. Thank you buddy, you're a star🌟 And with £4,623 for the CSF from the Pink Un Pledges, sponsorships donations and competitions we now have a total of £11,788 since we began £2,195 of which is already banked for the next presentation.

In my opinion, every non football related topic should be moved to the 'Non-Football' section. What is the point of splitting the forum into 'Main Discussion - Norwich City' and 'Non-Football' if we are going to have a 1600 page thread on brexit in the Norwich City side.

I presume it's my post you're referring to, whereby I stated my opinion. I won't rehash it in this thread. Regardless of that specific opinion, I also made several salient points which probably do merit discussion, and I don't think are in any way defamatory regarding: Whether the McCanns would have been treated differently if they were off a council estate, rather than middle class doctors? Why we have spent £12million of taxpayers money looking for one child when thousands go missing without fanfare every year and are resources being effectively allocated, or is that money that could be better spent on recent cases with a higher chance of being resolved? I make no accusations, and post the following for consideration only. Up to others to make up their minds whether this case of 3 children under 5 being left alone, despite a £15 per night babysitting service being available and very wealthy parents who could clearly afford said service, fits the criteria as laid out in UK law... Under the Children and Young Persons Act 1993, if a parent leaves a child unsupervised ‘in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health’, they can be prosecuted for neglect. It is important to be aware that frequently leaving your child home alone can constitute neglect, which is a form of child abuse. https://childlawadvice.org.uk/information-pages/home-alone/

Sorry LDC but as long as the Brexit thread is alive on this forum, your argument doesn't hold water. Simpler. Who makes the rules? And why?

You seem oblivious to the obvious, the subject matter is unsuitable for a football forum. Thread should never have been started. Simple.

Probably because most people have enough self awareness not to plough over other people's sensibilities with hob nail boots on.

Again, its an accusation of criminality that has been investigated with no charges. I don't get how people sitting at a computer seem to have so much more insight than people who were on the scene and paid to investigate it.

One post at least was cast-iron defamatory. Nothing to do with the suppression of free speech. And anyone who thinks it was should apply the following test - would they be perfectly happy to be publicly accused of having committed more than one serious criminal offence when they had never been tried for such, let alone convicted?

Think Brexit is a little bit more than that. While it may sound harsh, the fate of that poor child is of zero relevance to my life, or I’d suspect anyone else’s on this board. (Not that personal relevance should be the judge of whether a thread stays or not). Sounds like there were some legally questionable comments made and the thread was pulled. Hardly the first time that has happened here.

Oh well that's OK then.....

I have a close friend who is German. She has a wonderful sense of humour but that doesn't include Adolf. They are deeply ashamed of that part of their history and just making a **** salute is a criminal offence there. I would hate to upset any of the Germans in our club but I suppose that the film does lend itself to a Hiltler supporting Ipswich. Especially the bit where he sends nearly everyone out of the room leaving the 3 oldest ones with him. Would everyone who has never seen us beat Norwich please leave the room...

Great film Downfall but a hard watch especially the last hour .

This and the EU thread should really be moved to non football really.

You surely mean my run ins now and again with a couple of posters but hey fill your boots and justify that stupid comment.

No probs with it being moved Hogo, in fact ,this morning, before starting this thread, I looked to see if it had been moved to the non football section.

Hoggy, I entirely understand your argument, and it may have applied to some generalised posts on the subject. However at least one post went way beyond simply questioning the parents' actions, for example in terms of negligence, which would probably be regarded as fair comment. That post accused the parents of a handful of serious criminal offences. And the point there is that if someone has never been found guilty of such crimes then the poster would in effect have to prove them guilty to defend themselves agains a libel action. And since the police have never found enough evidence to bring a case, let alone secure a conviction, that would be next to impossible. And the same would apply to Archant, would might very well be sued on the basis that it is the publisher.

Was lucky to be inside Molineux for a league win and the play-off semi. Then unlucky enough to be outside Molineux afterwards.

Just maybe it was my real world life experiences that got me to those conclusions ?

I think there is pretty obvious difference between 'should the manager have signed player x' and 'did these people kill their daughter' as to how legitimate the discussions are.

I generally assume the police (who haven't pursued any charges against them as far as I'm aware) will have had access to more evidence and research than random internet poster.

Why wasn’t the thread in the non-football section? Because it has nothing to do with football. (And I’d argue that the EU thread isn’t football-related and should be moved to.)

A bit overzealous deleting it, why not just move it to the NON-FOOTBALL Part of the message board ?

Same here, I hate the scum...but don't really care about other teams... I hate all the money in football and the top six deciding just about everything...but Wolves, well ... I hate Muscat though

To be fair their was a pretty fierce dislike of them for a fair few years. One of my favourite memories as a City fan was chanting 'You're not singing any more!' at their silent fans when we went 3-1 up in the 2002 playoffs.

Yes, they're twats...

I guess this sprung up because of the new Netflix series on it? I watched three episodes and turned it off. Just going over old ground that many have read about, heard about or discussed before. I thought it was pointless even bringing the documentary out, in all honesty. A terrible incident, granted. But not really the place to discuss it here.

There were comments that were defamatory and libellous. There were unsupported allegations made about the legality of some peoples' actions and I believe that they have already sued other outlets. The forum hosts were inevitably going to remove the thread when they became aware of them and they would have been foolish not to have done. On the broader issue alluded to, I see no problem in discussing non-footballing issues on a City fans website. We are a community united in support of a football club but otherwise with different views. It seems to me to be unnecessarily limiting to suggest that we can only discuss football, or more narrowly, Norwich City.

I'm sorry, I can't continue with this charade. It's just too revolting.

Did I mention she used to be an Ipsh*t fan? 😐

...I'm taking that back.

Who needs a criminal justice system when we could have trial by internet forum. What a bizarre world we live in. I think you will find the criminal justice system has evolved in order to prevent judgment being made by hearsay but that seems to passed some people by in our post evidence and truth fake news world appealing to the worst traits of humanity.

Swipe left...quickly!

Yeah I suppose a little girl going missing is completely f*cking irrelevant compared to an argument between hipsters and racists? Frankly it's old news and certainly not something relevant to a football forum.

I'm beginning to think the international break is a bad idea....

Better than Krul?

Careful SR, you're one step away from "Have you got any photos?" Actually, this could be an idea for an NCFC Tinder...

At the age of 2 I'd mastered dribbling. 😁

You think she was on her own ? 😉

😁

Whoosh - maybe this CID..?

You could have it every week for virtually anything and it then becomes pointless virtue signalling.

Wigan. On a Sunday. On a bus. Think you mean ex-wife fella.

I recommend the Film it's taken from, very good.

Normally I would agree with you but our German friends tend to lose their sense of humour when it comes to Hitler. I think they would find it quite offensive Difficult one. I would rather they laughed at themselves than take it too seriously. As long as they are mindful and contrite about what happened then parodies like this might help to heal some wounds.

Surely the whole football scene in that area has become an outdated model with so many clubs so close together, all getting poor returns through the turn styles. There are so many other attractions nowadays to warrant such a cluster of professional clubs with the cloth cap, working man's concept of the game totally out of date. Rochdale and Bury are but a stone's throw from Bolton.It would have made sense in the recent past, with such changes being foreseen obviously, for some sort of amalgamation to have been conceived. It didn't happen and probably never will because local pride, rivalry and history always come to the fore. Poor business models perpetuated non-the -less. P.S. I do predict that ITFC will eventually have to amalgamate with Col.U.though

I’m hoping someone will do one for the Ipswich supporting Adolf when he finds out what’s happened this season 😁

This is of course not great news for us, but come on people, in the scheme of things, the people we should be really feeling sorry for are the good supporters and people of Bolton! I couldn’t imagine the same thing happening to us, that is just unthinkable quite frankly, if it did then I’d support Norwich United. But screw a few clubs including us losing a few points or whatever (we’ll win the league anyway) - let’s have a heart folks because many good people, including that nice YouTube lass, could lose their ENTIRE club!! I really hope it works out ok for Bolton supporters, fingers crossed🤞

Haters gonna hate us. Cloggers gonna clog us.

Nutella, Can we set up some form of payment plan??!??... 😂👍⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🏦 Parma
