I don't suppose the FA could charge FIFA with bringing the game into disrepute.

If that's true I assume the club already know what it's leaning towards. Is it a coincidence that the echo and solent are all there along with Solak? Can we read much into the fact that Tonda hasn't done much in the way of interviews this week?

It's like going on holiday and leaving your front door open and then being pissed off that you got burgled...

The difference is that Saints have erected fences in order to stop other clubs scouts getting a look whereas Gibbo's lot were doing their work in public. It's about time that the pearl clutchers got a grip.

Ludicrous. Get a grip.

Apparently we have a 25% sell on clause in his contract. That's why he was sold cheap

I'd been wondering...and sure enough, she's back! Long standing MP Diane Abbott returns from the wilderness. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5dwd1p374o

The batting is a real concern, lightweight openers and Miller in dreadful form. Bowling unit finally fired, but up to today Wood and Archer have been poor, years may also be catching up to Jordan. Win may be enough to turn them around but honestly it’s been pretty average stuff so far.

He jumped from Newcastle before they would have gone down. 🙂

Hopefully long term injury

Being announced tomorrow apparently

I remember the days when we were told he wasn’t good enough for us as he gets teams relegated.

Looks like Spain are going to have thousands of new doctors and engineers looking for work next week

Perhaps the best way of imagining how a WC would look like without UEFA is to take a look at the old Confederations Cup, and while I think it had a better premise than the Club World Cup which replaced it, did anyone ever actually watch it?

And have a WC with no European teams - could luck with the revenue generation on that. Your investors will all of a sudden be less keen

This is the end of Gianni. He can’t survive this. Thought he had it all under control but that’s was arrogance does. He didn’t engage other confederations and proposed a controversial idea without telling them. Did he expect they would just whimper in the corner and accept it?

The 41 nations of CONCACAF officially rejected FIFA's plan to sell a stake in the World Cup to private investors. While they stopped short of a boycott.

Is it different to the one you posted as your number 1??

Personally I’d shift Archer, Diaz and Downs Larin bring in Salech and Ballard

Sounds like they will only affect offences committed this season, so won't apply to Tonda for last season...

#Southern Timid with the bat but a garbage Utilita pitch plus good bowling from Wood, Archer and Stoinis meant a first win. Stoinis’s innings was the difference.

It's interesting that in this case it's the 'intent' that seems to count, rather than the result, which is actually quite unusual. If you drink and drive then get pulled over you might get banned, but if you hit someone and kill them, you'll probably end up in prison. The intent is the same, the outcome is down to (mis)fortune, but that's what you'll be judged on. The same could be said on the pitch when the defender tries to pull back a forward when he's through on goal. If the forward shakes free and has a shot, the defender gets away with it, but if the forward goes down, it's probably a red. The intent was the same though. I know I'm rambling, but we gained no advantage from this stupidity, and yet we're being crucified as a club. It's not often you get judged on intent alone...

As I’ve said before, if this exact same scenario had played out with Pompey ‘scouting’ one of our training sessions before beating us in the playoffs, I’m sure this forum would be unanimous in agreeing that it’s no big deal and wishing those chaps down the road all the very best of luck in the Premier League. No amount of friends feeling things are going to wash away the fact that we deliberately broke the rules to gain an advantage before a crucial playoff game, knowing full well it wasn’t acceptable after the Bielsa saga seven years ago.

It is nothing like cheating at cards as well you know. If you look at someone’s cards the benefit is enormous. Looking at a training session, as we have discovered ourselves, does not guarantee that you win the match.
