Get a grip.

Totally agree. I like his analysis and support on the whole along with the "going home" thing but his reaction to what now appears to be an over-the-top media conspiracy on pretty much nothing does him no favours at all.

Maybe leave it a few days before tapping up Hayden Hackney then.

Given the context explained by Tonda I find it hard to understand just how the so-called "independent" panel came up with the draconian punishment that they handed down, other than it was what "Gibbo" and his press chums were demanding. The whole things still stinks.

Sounds like Blackmore has stopped beating himself with sticks and wailing "woe is me" at last. If anyone needs to have the finger pointed at them now it's the EFL.

I think people were looking at the precedence where a fine was previously deemed sufficient. Maybe it wasn't expected that the EFL would cave in to Gibbo's campaign to actually reverse the result of an actual football match and have a suspect panel throw a nuclear bomb at Saints. Besides all that, the unprecedented and severe punishment has been handed down so let's move on while throwing barbed comments at the incompetent EFL and their friendly hacks.

A response inside 12 hours? The EFL seem to have been determined from the outset that Gibbo's cry-babies were going to get to Wembley. They seem to have totally ignored their own damn rules and if it were me in Dragan's position I'd be suing their arses.

A siege mentality, 6 points from "Gibbo"'s cry-babies and then automatic promotion with a record points total is what the coming season demands.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when "Gibbo" meets Dragan next season.

"Extraordinary scandal"? Roan needs to get a grip. Totally blown out of proportion.

Would love to move on but there's still some that need to thrash themselves with sticks a bit more.

The punishment handed down looks even more draconian than it did previously if this is all they have. Why the hell didn't Saints fight it?

Only because the minor infraction of a bloke standing by a tree doing some scouting in public has been pushed into the -gate sphere for some reason. Is it really worse than the cheating that goes on during an actual match?

The tree needs to be brought up to date.

The way the EFL's going with its various silly rules and random draconian sanctions for those deemed to be guilty of some transgression it'll soon be possible to win a league title without winning any games of football at all. 😉
