Yes, randomly. Depending on whether the FA blazers have had a good lunch.

I'm not talking about "the rules" really. The phrase "sporting advantage" is bandied around as if nobody ever seeks to use it. There are rules about financial fair play for instance but they get applied randomly depending on who can afford the best lawyers which is itself seeking to gain a sporting advantage. Tapping up and paying the best players huge salaries is gaining a sporting advantage but let's worry instead about someone lurking behind a tree watching a team who are practising in public view. The whole thing's got out of hand in my opinion. Just look at bleedin' FIFA for instance. It's laughable.

Still can't get my head around the idea that seeking to gain a sporting advantage is somehow classed sinful. Isn't that part of what professional sport is about?

Banned from Teesside then? I'd accept that. All this mindless speculation does is to reinforce the fact that nobody knows where the so-called crime is considered to be in a range from "nothing to see here" to "deserving of public sacrifice". It's the EFL and the FA that are starting to look ridiculous. Wish they'd just damn well get on with it.

Dobbin's a cool dude. Nice finish.

Dodgy looking offside flag. 1-1 at HT.
-
Saints first shot I think. 1-1. Leo.
-
Shocking from THB. Another shot from Munster and it's 1-0 to them. Saints have hardly approached the opposition penalty area.

If you can call it that.

I see the FA have gone easy on Chelsea. https://www.thefa.com/news/2026/jul/31/chelsea-sanctioned-31072026

How would we know whether or not they have had an indication of how hard the FA want to hit Tonda? For all we know the lawyers could be slinging mud at each other while we hurl guesswork at each other.

The FA blazers are probably enjoying an extended G&T lunch. There's still plenty of time for them to lurch into a boozy decision.

What straw would that be old chap?

But when you go on to tell the whole world about Saints secret training methods? What is it then?
