Yeah I didn’t though and I’m happy for you to find the quote and context where I did but nice point anyway.

Okay good for you. I’ve been quite happy to state it as fact from the moment the Boro manager laughed in the Sky reporters face when he said allegedly before the first leg.

Eh? Yeah or Saints could cut out the middle man and do it themselves…oh no wait…they couldn’t.

The view of it is supposed to be blocked by the rule. That’s why he was upset, because someone has gone out of their way to disrespect him and gain an advantage they aren’t allowed to gain, however easy it is to gain.

I read your point as a whole. I’ve read it on the other outlets you’ve posted it on to. That’s why I specifically said you’re missing the point in my post. I also listened almost word for word at the lawyer on talksport making the same point a few days ago.

They don’t need to prevent someone in the public from viewing it (albeit they probably should). All they need to do is prevent someone at Saints from viewing it, which the rule should do because the onus is on Saints not to watch it.

The severity of the offence is spying. We’ve done that to gain an advantage, or we wouldn’t have done it. That’ll be all that matters. Doesn’t matter how much we saw, doesn’t matter if other members of the public saw it too and it doesn’t matter if all they trained was winding up ball boys. Someone at our club has gone to watch their training when they shouldn’t.

Jesus Christ stop with this angle 😂

In fairness to Winter (horrible sentence that I’ll never write again), Bielsa didn’t break any rules. That’s the point. 💯 That MLG is obsessed with these details and keeps posting about it anywhere he can. It’s really missing the point.

Any friends want to help my friend with a good/reliable recommendation?

Watch out, MLT will be sent out to tell you to stop again if you’re not careful.

All that experience and still no guaranteed success. Can’t be right.

He doesn’t blame that.

I’ve no idea, obviously. I suspect whoever is making the decision is also trying to figure that out let alone me. A fine seems a bit mad to me though. And so does expulsion from the competition. I suspect it’ll be neither of those (on their own). So points (maybe suspended) and personnel bans? Would fit in with what happened in the women’s game.

This isn’t what he’s saying. You only need to watch the press conference, which is available on YouTube, to see what he’s saying. He’s talking about the tiny margins in football he can control and is seemingly upset they have potentially been taken away from him. Think he comes across very well personally and his laughing at anyone suggesting ‘allegedly’ also very telling. He’s honest about what he saw on the CCTV. It’s clear what we’ve done. And he’s honest about that and why it upsets him but he’s also honest in why they lost. Can’t really argue with his scoffing at a fine being suitable punishment either personally but I guess that’s about opinions and there’s a small panel of people who will decide on that. Which he’s also honest with.
