  1. company in linking staff bonuses to profits shocker.

    The wage grading system is bringing them in-line with the rest of the industry. Whether its fair depends on what the situation is, obviously. Why should the people in the shops which are busy work there arses off for 14 hours a day be paid the same as people who sit and watch tv all day because they have few punters by comparison?

    Having said that they are using this as an excuse to generally cut wages across the board but its mainly aimed at the ex-Tote staff they took on when they bought the Tote who were on MUCH better terms than any other bookie. I say better, they still weren't that great and should be the standard for bookies IMO. The staff in BetFred are trying to fight it but there's not enough staff in a Union to make a difference.

    The Government need to abolish the ABB, which is basically the big Four anyway, and create a proper regulating body who can actually enfore the "responsible Gambling" which is currently a farcical situation.

  2. I remember the aftermath of the comments, but I've never actually seen the highlights from the game in question. The decisions hightlighted are absolutely incredible - absolute stonewall penalty that, if the referee didn't spot, surely the linesman should? If anything, the performance of that linesman is as bad, or worse, as the referee's performance.

    Mark de vries got booked for asking if his goal was going to stand too. Those c***s fucked us over twice that year with disgusting decisions in the league cup final too.

    That RM link is a good laugh, they only want in on a level playing field otherwise there is no point being there. Well, they half get it I suppose.
