It was tried against us a couple of seasons ago. The players were upset that Martin tried to sign them. "Drones! Perfect for my robotic passing moves!"

He’s the adult in the room. The only one that understands that small businesses and the hardworking tax payers need to be incentivised and rewarded. The problem with your arguments is that you’re stuck a few decades in the past. You’re still arguing from a place where Britain is a successful country that can afford to spend huge money on welfare. Simply - the economics don’t work any more. Demographics and general trends are moving against us. Literally the only response is to accept this reality. Instead you and the left wish to cling to the magic money tree.

It’s a shame Tuesdays forecast is guaranteed rain, as Sussex really are nothing to write home about.

Would be fun to start doing this before all games.. but especially vs. Boro. Good luck training with 10 drones flying above you ..|..

He'll work it out. After all, where there's a Will, there's a way. 🙂

What's that Gianni? Say something nice about FIFA or you'll cut the rope, plunging me into the piranha tank? No player chats with the manager, during 'keeper tactical breaks. WWF grappling before corners to be looked at! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c9v39x2v8yxo Mind you, it doesn't stop the 'keeper going down, to break up the play. That's tougher to deal with. And the grappling thing applies to attacking teams. So, defenders can still get up to the usual. Aaaargh! No! Not the tank.....hey, these are goldfish....oh, of course, it's you Gianni, you've embezzled the Piranha money under the FIFA Goldfish for Goals Programme.

And there you have the reason @sadoldgit struggles with it.

I'm willing to bet you won't get the facetime you are seeking.

Driving faster than 70 on a motorway is a stupid rule which can lead some people to lose their livelihood. Stupid rules, whilst being subjective, are still rules. We agreed to abide by the rules, stupid or not, so you don't really have an argument. We agreed to the rule, then we broke it. We've been punished. Get over it.

Surrey lost heavily to Kent, their batting failed badly. I watched Warks v Northants (latter won after a marvellous 115 no from former Hants overseas batter Lynn). Surrey were undone by Jake Lintott who took 4 wickets for very few runs (ex-Hants and Brave, bowls Chinaman eg left arm leggie). Warks let him go, have brought in Pakistan mystery spinner Usman Tariq and blooded a youngster but are also on a terrible run having lost the ability to take wickets in the middle overs.

Nope, have genuinely requested a meeting. We can all whinge amongst each other but to meet the decision maker might have more impact. But as stated, the chances of actually being granted a meeting are minimal. What I will say is that there are many posters on this site that have over the years have consistently made sensible recommendations and yet time and time again, the club does the opposige and makes mistakes. SR, and Dragan in particular, needs to hear our views.

Whether or not it's a stupid rule, we didn't just get charged with the 72 hour spying rule, we were also charged with (paraphrasing) disrespecting opponents, the same rule as exists in the EPL. Even without the 72 hour rule we could/would have been charged if Boro felt we were taking the piss (which we were). We would probably have been thrown out just the same. We can go on and on about silly rules, unfair sanctions till the cows come home. In the end we were incredibly stupid, perhaps through naivity, but it was our fault. End of.

Rampant government spending and currency debasement. If you listen to some of his interviews with Peter McCormack, he speaks at length about the issues, their causes and his proposed solutions. I personally think he understands the UK’s decline with much more clarity than any other politician in modern history. I don’t remember any other politician in my life time that gets it as well as he does to be honest.

The problem is the EFL clearly don't think it's a stupid rule and neither do the clubs who wanted it in the first place. If it's a widespread belief that it's a stupid rule then it'll get binned this Summer...

So obvious that the EFL have them yet nobody else does? The principle is that you don’t spy yet it is common place on the continent and the EFL say it is okay so long as you don’t do it within 72 hours of a match? The game is the same the world over. Where is the consistency? There is none. The point I and others are trying to make is that it is a stupid rule and that to throw a club out of a competition for breaching a stupid rule is completely disproportionate to the offence. I know a few posters struggle to understand it but it really isn’t that hard. I am sure even Noddy Holder in his mirrored hat could understand it.

It would be, as it was when Leeds did it. Do you really believe Arsenal could fly a drone over their premier league opponents training sessions, stream it back to Areta, and not face any sanction. Dear God. Think man…..

My god

FFS.. …Bielsa gave a press conference explaining what he did, why he did it and the advantages he hoped he’d get from it. One of you is spouting pony is it, you, a radish who posts on a forum, or Bielsa a well respected manager of many years who was acknowledged as an innovative manger in his time. I know which one I think is probably right, what about you, do you think know more than Bielsa…..

Is your last name Chorley?

I lived in Colombo for a couple of years. Beautiful country cursed by terrible political choices which have had awful consequences. But you’ll have a great time and a warm welcome.

Out of interest I had a look on drone assist and there are no flight restrictions above the training ground, golf club, hotel etc. Just need to confirm whether the path is publically-accessible 🤔

Just send him a link for a Teams meeting.

No matter who the winner is today, we all know Boro will sue because they didn't win.
