Whitey Grandad

Is that the face mask that you dropped outside their training ground?

"If I can't see them then they can't see me"

If this Taylor chappie joined us from Middlesbrough and then returned after a couple of months what information could he have supplied them with about our training routines? How do his dates correspond with the matches between us?

Where's Willy?

You've spelt 'witless' wrong.

So of course they turned down the £12m trabsfer fee out of disgust.

Hardly 'hiding' was he? Leaning against it to get a steady photo perhaps.

It's dissent. And treated as such. At least, it should be.

But the outcome has not been decided yet.

Indeed. What on earth was the motive for it?

Their behaviour certainly isn't 'Utmost good faith'

That was what my Latin teacher would call "A question expecting the answer 'No'."

Evidence takes time to fabricate, don't you know.

Gibson is obviously not a gentleman.

Then what about our unbeaten run under Martin? Watching another team training is a miniscule advantage. You will not learn anything that can't be ascertained from watching videos of their games. You might get information about individual players and thei fitness.

Or Crying.

Within 72 hours it's spying. Otherwise it's scouting.

Factor 72 at least.

If the EPL doesn't have a similar rule then they might decline.

We can safely ignore reg 3.4 since it is so wooly. Have Middlesbrough acted in the 'utmost good faith' towards us?

It's a technical possibility because any sanctions are unspecified but on what grounds? Preventing a club from taking part in a match is unprecedented. A retrospective points reduction is also open to challenge.

Such evidence would have to prove that it was within the 72 hours limit.

I've come across the reviews of the golf club in question:

Just Google "changing metadata on photos"

Exclusion is not a possibility. The legal case would be immense. If Saints had not got through to the Final what would the potential penalty have been? That is the only possible consideration. If we are deemed to have been guilty of course.
