Sorry, I'll correct the post.

i don't think you even can, can you? "thurgreed never fouled me! withdraw the foul!" they wouldn't.

but moreover, given the situation, the timing and the level of this game, I would say there was about 0% chance anyone would "admit it."

Waitaminnit -- you're saying there was a 0% chance that Les Bleues would just surrender?

I bet if you trapped a ball in baseball or football the ref would overturn an 'out' or 'catch' call if the offending player owned up to it. There are probably a bunch of examples of when that might happen. It just doesn't.

Sorry. Like I said, I don't know soccer. Although I had a vague memory of him being accused of a hand ball, I had to look up whether or not he admitted it and gave up the goal.

He owned up to it 20 years later. And then proceeded to justify it on the ground he was too short to head it and besides, England were thieves for stealing the Falklands.

Big fucking deal. Some associates in the plaintiffs' world have to suck partner dick come bonus time. Not to get a bonus -- that IS the bonus.

DLA Piper Marbury Rudnick Wolfe Gray Cary, et al. did the same thing a few months ago, but I don't think the ante was quite as high.

You have to admire the double-talk from the firm spokeshead. "It's not because we need the money. We want the people who don't have equity to share in the risk -- they should act like real partners even though we only made them fake ones."

I may be paraphrasing.

Uh, read it again. They have to pay money out of their pocket for the right to not get a bonus. You want to make a capital contribution for the right to continue being a partner? You need to come up with 15% of your base pay. That's a lot of fucking money.

How is one a non-equity partner if one is required to contribute to the equity of the firm?

Admittedly, I have never understood how the non-equity parternship thing works, but this is particularly puzzling.
