He was given an eight-match ground ban, a four-match touchline ban and a £250 fine. Footage of Lashenko shouting at the referee and being held back by players was circulated on social media following the club's match last autumn. The FA's independent Regulatory Commission found him guilty of two breaches for threatening behaviour in and/or around the field of play and for improper language and/or behaviour in and/or around the changing room. Ignore the fine as this was non-league but I would consider threatening behavior towards a referee as far more serious than spying on opponents

Meanwhile the rest of the football world looks on and laughs at the ridiculous overreaction to a spot of scouting. Anything more than a suspended slap on the wrists and I'd hope Dragan drags the FA Man City/Chelsea style appeals for years to come.

Tonda shouldn't have tried to park the bus against Lincoln (a la Tuchel)

Nothing like that was ever mentioned by the FA though and delegated to the intern does not state that this was done by Eckert directly. Ultimately he is responsible but the distinction still matters.

Are you suggesting that the top down orders were from above Tonda?

Re Coventry, watching Motd they had plenty of chances , the were better than I anticipated 😄

Tonda is the one charged by the FA (charged *3 with bringing the game into disrepute). The Club accepted responsibility by way of the EFL Charges, and the EFL are not authorised to charge or punish individuals, only the FA have this authority. Personally I tend to agree with you that the club should have taken more responsibility, it seems to me Tonda has taken the rap in order to protect not only subordinates, but also his bosses.

My AI has officially gone full Terminator mode and threatened to hunt him down and kill him for his disgraceful life choices.

I refer your honour to the following, specifically paras 27 and 40. The word bullying is not used, but that's what is meant or implied. It was specifically the reason for the reprimand that we were given, which has often been overlooked. https://images.gc.eflservices.co.uk/0a0e87d0-5538-11f1-ab88-f930a57d19ce.pdf

It didn't for me, and made the obvious point that there was no other sporting sanction (points wouldn't bite if we went up) so exclusion from the play offs picked itself as the only available sporting sanction.

Foden red was harsh as replay shows Bruno kneeing him into touch then a sly boot to the arse before Foden brushed him with his leg . Bruno then , as usual , play acted just like Enzo for City did to get a free kick , they are a bunch of cheats .

It was a piece of piss to call within 10 seconds

The circumstances around the spying will doubtless be a factor.

Yeah but the ball was deflected off the defenders foot so playing him onside or doesn't that count anymore ? A better point is that the rules are now so complex with 6 caveats that no ref can work to those rules on the pitch in a split second or even after 10 mins thought .

Jeez Whitey, I didn't have you marked as a leave people to drown kind of guy.

TSP 393 – Bristol City 4-1, Larin on fire + Wrexham away New episode of TSP is out following the 4-1 win over Bristol City. Martin is joined by Steve, Glen and Alfie to go through what was another very entertaining home game, although probably not quite as straightforward as the final score suggests. Plenty on Cyle Larin after another couple of goals, Matsuki getting his chance and taking it, another productive game from Azaz, Nathan Wood, the impact from the bench and why we still seem completely incapable of keeping a clean sheet. There’s also a decent discussion around the Tonda Eckert FA case, with the feeling that we may finally get some sort of decision during the international break. Then we look ahead to Wrexham. They’ve started the season poorly and were hammered by West Ham, but Saints are still yet to win away this season, so it feels like quite an important one before the break and then Pompey. 🎧 Listen: https://pod.fo/e/60d02b 📺 Watch: https://youtube.com/live/5Ee1JbaAcq0

True, better put them in town centres and next to schools. Who cares about the consequences to our cities

Your actually AI🤯

Hmm. Their choice.

Standing up to racists

Ain't gonna happen for me. None of the adverts is aimed at me anyway.

And so did I. What does that tell you?

AI said we wouldn't get kicked from the playoffs.

Why single out Tonda? Surely the club as a whole must take responsibility for this and it has already been heavily punished.

AI is shit Would put it past the FA to ask Co-Pilot to work it all out for them though
