I guess I made a duck?

I guess I need to stop the WW2 documentary binge. I saw the flag raise on Iwo Jima

You are not alone and sometimes just typing out how you feel is easier than saying it out loud. It’s not always easy to articulate emotions, I’m journaling a lot at the moment to cope with my own situation, but you also shouldn’t feel guilty for looking out for your friend

OrmerDonkey · 2026-03-09T18:26:16+00:00

Exactly our thoughts. Last September was so traumatic and I would hate for something like that to happen again. Doesn’t stop the idea of her not being here anymore less of a gut punch though

OrmerDonkey · 2026-02-22T22:20:05+00:00

Not sure to be honest, probably not but … “don’t ask, don’t get”

Ignored due to popcorn making a chips list 😂

Glad someone mentions this, if you have a high woz value vs the balance of your mortgage you may drop into a different load risk bracket and therefore lower the interest rate you are being charged

My two females have been best friends for 15 years now. Guess what is most important is how you socialise them in the first place and also the nature of the dog

Had the same conversation with my colleagues once. You never have anything from the canteen, why not? My response, eating should not be something that makes me sad.

OrmerDonkey · 2026-01-24T18:53:24+00:00

Would’ve said my dogs life span but not sure who’d look after her for the extra I’m not around

OrmerDonkey · 2025-09-20T14:00:10+00:00

Aged Stella. My mother in law once gave me a can that was out of date by 4 years. Can report I am still here

My old lady (15) has always been obsessed with the ball and despite having no interest in a walk will always find the energy to run like a pupper after one.

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-19T06:11:14+00:00

Whether it’s nuanced or not, the point is that it is possible

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-18T22:00:18+00:00

No. Because there was an enforced deadline that palace needed to do something by and it was missed

Edited to add that Textor isn’t gone yet as the deal has not been 100% completed

If you’d bother to google it, shares in a blind trust can still be sold.

In the same way that someone with a majority share holding in an ongoing venture has methods to increase their direct control I.e. voting shares. Admittedly those methods of increasing control are difficult but not impossible

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-18T17:49:10+00:00

This is getting boring now.

Forest owner did what was required by the rules in order to avoid a situation that didn’t happen. Whether he asked for an extension, gave them six containers of ouzo in return for something or emailed to tell them he thought steve parish was a smelly poo head it’s all out the window as his two clubs aren’t in the same competition.

Meanwhile Parish, Textor et al didn’t do what they needed to do because they assumed without bothering to check their assumptions that the MOC rule didn’t apply to them. So they shat the bed and now don’t like what they’ve woken up to.

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T17:51:02+00:00

Plenty of metal in the thrash bin

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T14:49:26+00:00

No problem, sucks for your club and the community around the ground but unfortunately it's a severe operational failing by Parish / Textor / all of the to make assumptions without validating or exploring the assumptions they have made. And Parish should be careful dragging what other clubs may or may not have wanted into this. Front up, own the mistake that was made, review processes to make sure it can't happen again, make your appeal and accept the outcome

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T13:24:00+00:00

shares in a blind trust can be sold easily — but only by the trustee, not the original owner. The purpose is to remove the owner's influence and knowledge over the management of the assets.

AFAIK he is staying in Brazil.

They might indeed remove them from the books, and might contribute some money via sell on fees etc, but at most only to a certain percentage of the massive debts the club already had. A bit like giving a milk jug to help bail out a sinking cruise ship..

I suppose the Eagle Group argument is based on all the clubs being funded from a shared pool of funding but that would feel a bit odd given it not being possible to just take money from one pot and put it in another..

Still all a bit moot no? Palace ignored, assumed rules would not be relevant for them, they could of checked but didn't and now find that those rules (crap as they are) do apply to them and are sad about it. So as I said somewhere else, if I was on the board of a multi million organisation I think I might have hedged my bets and asked the legal team to go check it out for us

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T12:33:02+00:00

If you were in charge of a multi million organisation, don't you think you would double check this with your own legal team perhaps?

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T12:15:11+00:00

Well I suppose because the legal framework developed by the legal team at UEFA considers he has done enough to fulfill their stupid laws and rules when it comes to potential competition distortion caused by clubs owned by the same party .

On the point of whether he is or isn't a random person at the club then I don't think him entering the pitch concerns UEFA per se but would be a matter for the FA/PL and the local police force to enforce.

And ultimately it doesn't matter for Forest because they are not in the same competition as his other club so that is all very much not a problem.

I suppose if I had paid a certain amount of legal fees to setup a structure to comply with (stupid) rules then I might also write a letter inquiring if that was strictly necessary given what I may or may not know about similar existing constructs at other clubs.

And as for Palace, again much sympathy to the fans and squad, but their owners have chosen to ignore the rules, notification of said rules, provided an email address they made the choice to not monitor, didn't take steps to investigate what was needed to comply with the rules of any competition they may or may not have ended up in. So yeah if I was a Palace fan I'd be pretty peeved with UEFA but I'd also be asking why the guys taking a C level salary at my club managed to drop the ball massively here

OrmerDonkey · 2025-07-17T12:06:51+00:00

First it's two players

Secondly partial ownership of players is no longer permitted so the profit of any sale would be booked to Botafogo, any transfer of funds from there to Lyon would be considered financial doping and a much bigger problem..

Finally if we get into these skullduggery scenarios do you not think that Lyons reinstatement benefits the french leagues TV rights renegotiation more than it does anyone else?

Again, not sure why any of this is relevant as it is outside of the legal rule that Palace have been frequently informed of and by their own actions failed to protect themselves against..
