Hopefully this was just an accident but If drugs or alcohol were involved, hopefully this triggers an exit clause so we can extricate ourselves from this mess.

It's great the club looks after its own, but there has to be a line surely? At what point can the club say it shouldn't be their responsibility and cut him loose? I'm 50/50 on this, but I'm starting to lean the other way and ask the club to end the contract and move on.

You might be happy to be sued for libel, but the mods team isnt...

Should that be “...the Mods team aren’t” or are both “isn’t” and “aren’t” grammatically acceptable?

“team” is being used as a singular noun. “Isn’t” is correct.

Yeah, but, yeah but can either be used (to answer my question)?

[watt price tully]

I'm glad that's sorted.

I’m not sure it is. While I accept what Medieval has noted can it be either “isn’t” or “aren’t”?


Countries have gone to war for less.......

Dayne Beams has played his last game for Collingwood.

Despite having three years to run on a four-year deal worth about $2 million, all parties are resigned to the fact Beams’ 177-game career is over. Collingwood and Dayne Beams’ management will now work towards reaching a settlement in relation to the estimated $1.5 million remaining on his contract.(Herald Sun) - Sam Edmund and Michael Warner.
