Stripey McStripe Shirt

Tonda had (has?) a promising career, and I agree, I suspect he was unaware of the rule and didn't necessarily see it as an issue. As we all know, it's pretty common practice particularly across Europe. However, unfortunately for him, it was his job to make sure he knew stuff like this. A victim to some extent of his own success and being thrown in at the deep end.

I agree, I feel like that to an extent. But then I think back to Leeds and don't remember us/or anyone particularly goading them about it for years after it happened. Until all this nonsense started a few weeks ago, I barely remembered that had even happened. Yes, this has got a bit more media coverage ...and I know that the rules have changed since...but that doesn't change what the offence actually is. We'll probably get a fair bit of stick next season, and Boro/Pompey fans will never let it go, but that's because they don't have much else going for them in their cess pits.

Yeah, but on the bright side we probably know who takes the throw ins for Oxford when they're training.

Those fans who've been putting cream in their carbonara deserve every bit of this misery.

Think of the money we could have saved if we'd adopted the same approach for some of our players in recent years.

What makes you think he was talking about Sven? The other two might be equally as competent.

Why haven't the mods pinned this yet?

That's because it's not even a carbonara FFS. Next you'll be telling me you add bacon to it 🫪

Disagree. You can be both.

To be fair, it's quite common for people who don't cook very often to think there's cream in a carbonara. Anyway, let's get back to Spygate.

Carbonara doesn't have cream in. HTH.

When you write an excellent post on SWF and it's the last on the page so doesn't get the credit it deserves.

What about the groundsman?

Much more interested in what James Corden thinks to be honest.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's clearly a big deal. We almost certainly didn't gain a material advantage.
