All it takes is waiting 24 to 48 hours to get a decent analysis from OSINT people.

Just don't jump on breaking news, it's not that difficult.

Goodbye Sir Bobby Charlton. A great footballer and gentleman. His funeral was today.

Sad news about those four lads missing in Wales. All found dead. Car crashed into a stream.

Yeah, dreadful news! I was wondering what had happened to them and didn’t think it would be anything as tragic as this.

I had a feeling would be a car crash. Rural roads, inexperienced driver, car loaded up and heavy. Easy to lose control.

Yeah gutting news that, absolutely awful. they said they found the car but made no mention of it being cashed so I presumed they were lost camping. But now we know it was a car crash, bloody awful news.

What is happening when 15 year-olds feel motivated to stab someone 28 times? RIP Brianna. Got to feel for the family as well.

I hope they don't get parole for a very very long time. Firstly because they deserve to feel the despair of knowing they've ruined their own lives, but secondly because they are clearly extremely dangerous.

Anyone else watching Mr Bates vs The Post office?

It’s mind bogglingly appalling how these poor people were treated, some of whom are now dead and will never know justice.

A chilling example of the power of the state and how things can go really wrong, really easily.

The "if you've got nothing to hide" brigade take note. This is why we need a strong criminal defence system fully funded by the state, and also why those who seek to water down civil rights should be treated with contempt and suspicion

The Post Office were allowed to prosecute the cases themselves, and they've been allowed a say in the appeals process. Disgusting. A circus of justice.

....and what blows my mind about it is that, at no point did any prosector, any judge, any senior cop ask the simple question....."do we really have 700 thieving post office branch managers in this country? 700? Really?"

I know, its baffling that someone up top didn't think to go and visit these people to check it out face to face, rather than bury their heads in the sand and listen to the lies from Fujitsu.

Anyway, it sounds like some of them at least will be able to sleep a bit better from now on.

In other news, it’s Supermacs birthday today. I absolutely loved this player when at Newcastle and was blown away when he signed for Arsenal. How we could do with him now! Copied this below:

Born on this day 1950. Not universally adored by Toon fans only familiar with his post-playing career - but "Supermac" was an absolute legend in a black & white shirt (the two Wembley visits excepted).

Arriving at SJP in a Rolls Royce after signing from Luton Town at a cost of £180K, the one-time full back had begun his playing career with Tonbridge before moving on to Fulham.

Mac famously scored all three goals on his home debut for Newcastle in a 3-2 win over Liverpool in August 1971 - leaving the field injured in the act of trying to score a fourth.

Scoring over a century of goals to his name while clad in the number nine shirt, special efforts included the two at Hillsborough that booked our place in the 1974 FA Cup Final and a brace at Bolton two years later.

His own particular favourite though remains a thunderbolt effort at SJP against Leicester City - unfortunately not caught on camera.

Becoming a full England international while a Magpie, Malcolm scored all five goals against Cyprus at Wembley in April 1975.

The replacement of Joe Harvey as United boss by Gordon Lee though was to end the love affair between player and club - Mac's reaction to the news ("Gordon who?") getting the relationship off to a poor start when it was reproduced as a headline in the Evening Chronicle.

Not fitting into the "no stars" team ethic of Lee, Macdonald played his last game for the club in April 1976, scoring twice in a 3-0 victory against Spurs at White Hart Lane.

Within weeks he was resident at their North London rivals Arsenal, moving to Highbury at a cost of £333,333.

57 goals in 108 games for the Gunners followed, but a knee injury forced him to retire from playing at the age of just 29, playing his final games in Sweden for the Djurgardens club in Stockholm.

Later spells as a manager at Fulham and Huddersfield Town followed, before a battle with alcoholism, two failed marriages and bankruptcy left him at a low ebb.

A PFA-financed knee operation (at a cost of £12K) marked a turning point in Macdonald's life and living on Tyneside, he worked as a football pundit on radio and at talk-ins. https://www.nufc.com/

Real forwards in those days, they would die in the act of scoring, keepers trying to take your head off, and when is the last diving header you saw in today's game

Sven-Goran Eriksson has terminal cancer

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson says he has "best case a year" to live after being diagnosed with cancer.

The 75-year-old Swede was the first foreign coach to manage England and led the side to the quarter-finals of the 2002 and 2006 World Cup and 2004 Euros.

"I'm going to resist for as long as I can," Eriksson told Swedish Radio P1.

"I have an illness that's serious. Best case a year, I have worst case a lot less. It's impossible to say exactly, so it's better to not think about it."

Eriksson, who had a 42-year career in management, stood down from his most recent role as sporting director at Swedish club Karlstad 11 months ago because of health issues.

He said he was trying to stay positive and "make something good" from his cancer diagnosis.
