The Kraken

St Helens Tesco is a banger of a store tbf.

September 2025 login. But no doubt had been a lurker for years.

He surely isn’t he.

Who knows, its the same predictably tired approach for sure, if it’s one guy or multiple people it doesn’t really make much difference to me.

Christ, another terrified soul who needs to press the leftie button before making any point. Warm up the ignore feature.

It’s kind of cute though. Reminds me of the good times when we were in the lower leagues and had a small number of delusionists who told us that the Saints team would beat a full strength England XI.

All the good old posters don’t post here any more, and you can see why.

Our case is being brought by the FA, Man City’s by the Premier League. You're suggesting that the FA and the premier league have colluded to delay the fA’s announcement, so that they can go lighter on Man City, whose appeal outcome likely won’t be known for many weeks yet? Talk us through the logistics of that, would you please?

That’s not what the article says, no.

And you don’t give a shit what anyone thinks.

Eckert has already said that verbal agreements are in place for Peretz to be number one and Long to be number two. That would surely have been a big part in Peretz signing in the summer, that he’s the de facto number one and not battling against a guy who has played for England. So it’s definitely designed to send a message to Peretz that he’s number one, and to Ramsdale that there’s no future for him here so he needs to listen to all offers come January. I’d also reckon some of it could be financial, a saving of appearance money or bonuses if Ramsdale is not in the matchday squad. Thats my speculation though, certainly I think Tonda’s statement about it is the biggest indicator of the situation.

They’ll do well to get this whole thing wrapped up by the end of the season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqn7470513n0o The commission was made up of three people, each with many years' experience in the legal field. The appeal will now be heard in private by a new, three-person independent commission panel, each with a similar expert background in law. One section of the Premier League regulations says that an appeal hearing should conclude within 12 weeks of it being heard, and a decision communicated within 30 days of that. Twelve weeks from Thursday – when City say they lodged the appeal – would be 24 December. But this timeframe can also be disapplied if deemed necessary, meaning it remains uncertain how long the process will actually take. Previous precedent suggests that sanctions against City will only be imposed after a decision on the appeal, though this is not guaranteed. There could therefore also be a second appeal later down the line, against any sanctions imposed on the club. So, 24 December plus 30 days takes us to late January. Then City will surely appeal whatever sanction they get. So if the whole appeal 12 weeks plus 30 days thing applies, it gets extremely close.

The City charge is being brought by the Premier League, not the FA, so difficult to compare the two. BBC reporting today that new PL rules state that the appeal should be heard within 12 weeks. Then the announcement within another 30 days. And that there is the feasibility of a second appeal, to appeal the severity of the sentence. So nothing is going to happen there quickly. Notable that the FA confirmed today that they’ll likely be having a look once the Premier League charge is sorted.

FTSE has shit itself again this afternoon.

Yes. Been legal in the amateur game for many years now, there’s lots of smart watches, laser range finders etc available. At the highest pro levels (and some amateur competitions) they ban them for tournaments, though some do allow them. But for the most part they’re massively prevalent in the game these days, to the extent that in my experience it’s rarer to find someone who doesn’t use one.
