Ummmm no? I don't particularly dislike Boro at all, just another club to me. I definitely don't dislike them more than the charity thieving inbreds down the road. Some people have lost the plot over this just as much as some Boro fans did early on when talking about getting the police involved and us being expelled from the EFL. I find it odd that people even dislike them but different opinions and all that. Disliking them more than the skates though I genuinely find incredible.

If anything is given of that length it would be all football activity I'm sure. Not sure there's ever been a touchline only ban for that length of time. I'm really not that arsed about a touchline ban of 6-10 games, not sure it'll make a huge difference. As long as he's back for the skates.

I think we'll keep him if it's a touchline/stadium ban. Ban from all football activity is a different matter obviously.

You don't need a personal opinion on something where the facts are out there and easily found. The FA have literally said it relates to the spying.

No the charges specifically relate to the spying.

I was thinking about that but looks like it'd be a nightmare to get out of.

I think the difference the EFL rule makes on the FA side is that there is no longer any doubt whatsoever that doing this is an improper way to act. Biesla (like Tonda) said he didn't know it was frowned upon in the UK. That was believable at that time but quite clearly isn't now given a specific rule was implemented outlining that this behaviour isn't deemed acceptable. For me that's the difference and why Tonda's improper conduct will be seen as more serious than Biesla's.

Thought I'd see how excited the Boro lot were getting, bit weird that they have over 100 posts on a charge everyone knew was coming.

The 200k was a club fine and not for Bielsa (though he did end up paying it).

They are judging him on their own rules, specifically the one about bringing the game into disrepute. Breaking the rules of a competition effectively sanctioned by the FA is quite clearly bringing the game into disrepute. Never understood why people convinced themselves that just because the FA don't have a specific spying rule that they couldn't charge him. They've confirmed that it's for the spying now anyway.

It's intentionally vague so could be anything really.

Not sure how you've concluded that? Breaking a competition rule the club signed up to could easily be construed as bringing the game into disrepute.

It's fixed now. Just got in and bought mine.

Not really. Unallocated works fine. Think we had it at Doncaster last season and it's much better imo.

New system coming in next season. Will be on a 3 year period and apparently not just away games will earn points.
