I’m definitely coming down on the side that if he gets a 6-8 game touchline ban, that would ok compared to what the FA might/could do. The fact it has taken so long is an absolute disgrace though. And nothing would surprise in what they eventually serve down. If he does get a sanction, I wonder if any of the senior analyst team get a subsequent charge. Would’ve thought we’d have heard before by now but wouldn’t rule it out. And I wonder if the analyst leaving in the summer was something to do with it all, odds must be high that it was/is.

Not really. Cyle Larin has been a great signing but if anyone is suggesting that our transfer logic in the striking department since then has left us with equal or better than the end of last season, they’re making things up.

Phone - tech, we weren't invited, thus intrusion. Our legal team ballsed it up first time round by, amongst other things, not recognising the seriousness. They won't be that stupid this time.

It’s about time the FA dished out some retrospective action towards Bruno Fernandes. He’s been long overdue.

Which one is Ossie? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c158p587w4no

I think a 12 match ban. FA like EFL will make an example of Tonda and its an opportunity to set new precedent and rewrite its laws or whatever sections of its FA codes it has. The anti Saints sentiments in Middlesbrough's campaign against Saints has been superb and EFL gone with it. Irrespective of Saints and or Tonda breaking rules or not the ban will be in a similar punishment of removal from final and -4. The delay in FA announcing length of ban or additional fine points is also part of the unseen punishment to make sure Saints dont get off to a good start in season and not make top 2.

Agreed. Thanks for the update Lord Pannick

Even Haaland seemed confused it was going to be given!

"Prohibited tech and intrusion" lol it was an iPhone behind a tree trunk outside of the training ground . I'd hope our legal team will draw comparisons with similar previous case that FA deemed insufficient for punishment

Want to spent 4 hours heading back home talking about a Saints 3-1 win. Can't see any reason why we cant grind out another win as Saints playing well and Wrexham not as thier fans except. Earlier Larin goal (s) !

Meanwhile Hull who scraped into the play offs are unbeaten in 3rd

It's dawned on me that I don't understand the offside rule at all. Or are the officials just making it up as they go?

While the timing undoubtedly works to the advantage of Labour and the Tories, is the state is not reacting to a structural loophole that was exposed—and that allowing £70m+ crypto windfalls and non-domiciled offshore funds. On the crypto front... It operates via decentralized networks where ultimate beneficial ownership can easily be masked through mixing services or foreign proxies. Legislative bodies argue that leaving crypto unmonitored creates a massive backdoor for hostile foreign states or illicit syndicates to inject funds undetected into domestic elections. The framing looks like an attack on Reform and less as essential digital-era anti-money laundering.

Let's be honest no one knows. It could be anything.

Nope. Just bringing the game into disrepute I believe.

Many reasons for that,it was his first start, he was playing against his home club he probablysnatched at chances a little, maybe he was just unlucky, or .... he isn't as good as people like me think he is. The latter is the most likely sadly I guess we'll have to wait and see whether he makes it.

Just want us to start well. We've been really vulnerable first 20 minutes in most games. Start with confidence, get an early goal and hopefully build from that for a change.

Cyle Larin has been given the freedom of his home town of Brampton in Canada.

And these should follow the same route of declaration, scrutiny and regulation. In parallel with that we are now seeing legislation in process that changes the legality of donations to stop Reform getting their hands on them. It's not really false equivalency when both Labour (£4million) and the Conservatives (£10million) had no issue with individual, large sums being made to them, right up until they realised Reform could get large donations too. Those sums are 2023/24, when it was just fine. The main things I heard in about half an hour of radio this morning:- Such large sums distort democracy/ result in a paid for party - As above, both Donations from individuals is actively sought after, and endorsed. Combined donations from like minded people is fine too. Foreign Control/ Influence - Non-UK nationals aren't allowed to donate at all. I said NON-UK NATIONALS AREN'T ALLOWED TO DONATE AT ALL! that was for Nigel, who seems to be hard of hearing on that. It applies to siphoning it directly through relatives from overseas. The bill going through parliament looks to cap overseas donations from Non-UK based British citizens individuals to £100k. They are voters, but just not as trustworthy/eligible as voters here, apparently. They can donate though, so lots of murky £100ks seem okay. Mind you, it was only 2023, when they removed the 15 year limit for overseas UK citizens to get the vote, and donate. Both parties wanted to make sure their overseas donations kept rolling in,no matter how long those persons were away from the UK. Reform must have been a shock to that one. Both of Reforms big donors, look to be saying they will be based in the UK, for the purposes of these donations. But oh wait, the retrospective legislation is looking to limit the donations of people eligible to vote here, and in the UK, to a set amount over a few years upon their return. Not that there's anything wrong with their money. Just so that they don't come back to get round that £100k cap. That they are looking to make it retrospective, should be of interest to all the people told that it would be unfeasible/unfair for any other bit of legislation to be retrospective. It turns out it can be, if they want it to be. It's Crytpocurrency - Which, as dodgy as it is, has been round now for quite a long time. Strange that the governments only became concerned about it, in this context, when it was Reform that started sourcing large sums through it. I noted that 1 of them received a pardon from Trump for AML offences. I've not seen information to say that the personal wealth of these two, is also tainted. Reform says it's fine, and no one else in interviews has said anything except practice a halloween voice with "Ooooh Crypto." There's lots of enhanced diligence, but it's legal. Because that's the way our banking/legislative system allows it to be. So, when it comes down to it, they've had no issue with it until this. Speaking of due diligence, it's 2026 and the government are just getting around to introducing some basic measures to stop the truck wide gaps in their donations from entities too. Mind you, it's only been since 2001 that they had much of anything in this department. "Anyone could set up a business with high revenue without needing to demonstrate how they operate and make money, or whether they’re paying tax in the UK." Remember the near £11 billion in Covid fraud? Well, that had more checks than our two main parties were willing to undertake to stop them getting donations. Farage's recent attempts at getting a donation, were just through a single relative. Just wait until they see the nested shell company structures involved. Not that I think they'll be looking that closely. Not a coincidence that, and keeping that Covid fraud in mind which was a few years back now, that they're just getting round to this as Reform get backers. I'm annoyed that Farage has done more to force changes in transparency in political donations, than they would ever have introduced otherwise. That Labour and the Conservatives are clearly doing everything they can to build the changes around Reform as much as actual anti-money laundering says a lot about our politics. Grubby and pathetic.

Bruised ego I heard.

My bad. I thought he was being investigated for his treatment towards Salt as well.

Odious player. Didn't even get a yellow for his part.

Fernandes's reaction was embarrassing.

I can see why Fellows plays in this team now. When we beat the press he often cuts inside and takes out a couple of players which creates space for others. Matsuki to start and Fellows on around the 60th minute mark.
