There's a law that says you mustn't do 50 in a 30 zone and penalties for doing so are laid out. The FA just have a catch-all rule that says you mustn't drive "improperly" and if they deem that you were doing something improperly in their view that they can punish you or not in any way that the blazers seem fit. Probably depends whether they consider the case before or after a long lunch.

All this over something that everyone was originally treating as a bit of a joke when the bloke behind the tree first came to light. I suppose the FA blazers had to have their world cup gin & tonic trebles and jollies during the summer rather than getting their arses into gear over this trivial nonsense. What's more "improper"? If it's anything more than a token suspended ban I'd hope that Saints drag the FA through the courts for years to come.

Two matches rather than two months would be more appropriate for such a trivial offence.

"Improper". 😄 That could cover pretty much anything. Depends on they eye of the beholder.

The appeal at 1001?

Time to turn it off.

Likewise.

A couple of corrupt crooks now take to the stage.

Didn't take this long to get on and present the trophy in 1966.

Spain doing an England.

About time!

Spain goal ruled out by ref for no particular reason at all.

A red card at last. Well deserved.

Amazing that England managed to stitch themselves up and go and lose to this lot. Into the 4th quarter then I can only hope that Spain manage to win this before we get the overtime show.

Sounds like a bowel irritation.
