How do you know he didn’t park there just to nip in for a minute to give his missus something and nipped back out? How do you know he didn’t park there to help an elderly relative get to the place easier? There’s like zero context to him parking there.

If you knew the rules on use of a disabled badge you would know that even cars with 1 can only use it when the disabled adult or child is in the car.
There is no justification for using the space if he isn't disabled or doesn't have a badge. Don't defend him being inconsiderate .

Is that the law of the land or simply a recommendation? Could a car without a badge be done for illegal parking?
 
The sub plot in this thread of a young Dave once being the next Glenn Hoddle is gripping.

Stupid behaviour from Pickford, I like him as a keeper, but need to see him get his head together next year and cut out the brainless stuff, on and off the pitch.
 
We're not the RS. Just because he's our player doesn't mean he's not shown himself to be a complete tool of a man.

He's not 17, he's 25. There are no excuses for his persistent idiocy. Lad needs to grow up.

On private land like supermarkets etc they can clamp and fine you, but it's more of a moral issue. But on a public highway think it's akin to parking on yellow lines, you get a fine .
To get a blue badge you need to jump through hoops, provide documentation and doctors certs etc so you only get one if you need it. We got one for our 5 year old who's completely wheelchair bound so it's a voice of experience.
Sorry not a high horse thing, just we deal with this rubbish on a daily basis so it does annoy me when people get blase about why those bays are needed.
Soap box done.
When he's wearing keeping gloves and not driving ones I like Pickford. One of the better young gk's about.

I see Virginia just won a back to back PL2 trophy. He should be on the bench next season, you think.

Nice to read a polite sensible and informative post. THank you for that. I think Pickford is a good keeper and could become a great one. Arrogance, for some footballers, is a trait that partly accounts for their success, having a high opinion of your own abilty is part of the battle. Virginia is a promising keeper and will provide competition next season or the season after...I'm not sure when Steks contract is up. I hope your kid gets the best out of life, I'm sure he's happy,and credit to you as parents. I dealt with a lot of disabled kids in my time as an assessor for the Variety Club, when you've lay on the floor talking to a four year old who has no arms or legs, it brings a different, and welcome perspective on life.
 
Pickford should be dropped as he clearly upsets so many people on here, Oh hang on change that to a few people on here. Idjits all of them.:p
 

I can honesty say I’ve never ever parked in a disabled space.

Because I’m not disabled.

It’s a nobhead thing to do.

I can honestly say I constantly park in disabled spaces, cos why the hell not?

Moral outrage is amazing, its a parking space lads, its not like people who park there kick disabled people out of the way to park there.
 
They, in many cases, are compromised by their former involvement in the pro game. I, on the other hand, was never a professional, but I could have been. My assessment therefore is unencumbered by any insider bias or timidity.

So your opinion carries more weight on here because you played a very good level of football, yet, people that have made millions of pounds from playing at the highest level , don’t know as much as you?
