How bad is Greer's injury?

[WATFORD zero]

Apart from his size he has nothing whatsoever to offer as far as I can see, no ball control or skill,no heading ability.

You forgot that he can't sprint or volley a ball either

 

[BensGrandad]

That's not true. You've forgotten the little life issues too, like computer mysteries, broken iPods, parking fines and speeding tickets.

1 speeding ticket which is clear next week issued by a Gestapo on a motor bike hiding on the side of the road.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

He's not played much. I was mildly surprised when the Argus suggested Phil Orange was keen to keep him for the season, or permanently.

So you were speeding then

Never denied it just aggrieved at the manner it was done. My sons best man is in Rapid Response at The Met and said even their fellow officers despise the traffic motor cyclists. I must add that is a generalisation and one mans opinion so not gospel.

What is it you drive again?

How fast were you going anyway? I'm intrigued.

I think they should be in full view not hiding behind something. This then comes back to the old arguemnt is the police job to catch offenders or prevent the crime by being seen peeople would slow down so no crime would be committed.but no revenue generated for whoever it goes to.

38 in 30 limit in Sussex Way Burgess Hill. I legitimately missed the signs going into Sussex Way from the Triangle and thought it was still 40, my own fault.

Stupid argument. If they were in full view all the time, then people like you who think they can pick & choose which elements of the legal system apply to them would simply put their foot down the second they couldn't see a bright yellow jacket. If you don't know where they're going to be, then it should make you think perhaps you should slow down a bit.

Brilliant. Where exactly was he "hiding" in Sussex Way?

 

[atomised]

Seriously, so people would slow down if they see an officer but if none are visible they should be free to break the speed limit without fear of being caught?

 

[BensGrandad]

Beside/Benhind a van parked on the car park of the Woolpack. and his bike was in Howards Ave.

As I said is their job to catch the offeneders or stop them speeding?


How has this moved on from the seriousness of GG injury.

Look, I know where they go on Sussex Way, it's a commonly used spot, because the residents of that area complain regularly about speeding motorists. Such as you.

They stand on the wide open pavement, next to the pub, wearing luminous yellow jackets. You have two options here. Either look a bit harder so you spot them earlier, or slow down. I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no sympathy with you. If you nicked a Mars Bar from Tesco and the security guard caught you, you wouldn't complain that it was unfair because you didn't know they had CCTV, or because it was "only" a Mars Bar.

It's entirely your doing. Man up, take your punishment, and get on with it.

Well evidently visible police presence doesn't stop you speeding, so perhaps they need to catch you to help the message sink in.

Anyway. Gordon Greer. Lovely man. Hope he's fit soon.

Interesting that a thread started about the extent of Greer's injury has now turned into a speeding ticket discussion.

I don't know if Greer is a safe driver or not by the way.

I imagine Gordon is a very safe pair of hands behind the wheel. I also bet he, as a resident of Burgess Hill, never speeds on Sussex Way.

As I said I did and points come off next week clean license again, and I am careful when driving down that road now.
