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?

Isn't that called spying these days?

Indeed. If a spot of scouting opponents were such a grievous offence that it requires sackcloth, ashes, beating with sticks and even a few weeks in a pillory then why is it specifically allowed one day and not the next. And why does no other league have such a daft rule?

I don't suppose the FA could charge FIFA with bringing the game into disrepute.

The difference is that Saints have erected fences in order to stop other clubs scouts getting a look whereas Gibbo's lot were doing their work in public. It's about time that the pearl clutchers got a grip.

Ludicrous. Get a grip.
