Elmore Saint

100% This. The punishment handed down was outrageously harsh - but what's done is done. Time to circle the wagons, take our medicine, have a sort out in the club and, most importantly, come out fighting. And that's on everyone - us fans included. Too many wet wipes showing up on here and the media Vox-pops for my liking. If we don't get some backbone, and soon - we just saddle ourselves with a guilt complex that will linger for years, creating generations of apologists as fans. Be real - every club would take any advantage if offered (if they knew they could get away with it). We just went at it with usual SR-inspired amateurishness - and got found out / stitched-up - then didn't have the minerals to punch back at Gibbo and got put to the lions by his media operation. Fuck 'em. COYS!

99% probability of NO given the media / social led shitstorm that is todays normality, BUT.... Is there a world where Tonda can take a Damascene route to redemption? Perhaps by working alongside a "dressing-room trusted" person whilst on that "journey" - such an overused term these days - and we retain benefit from his obvious ability to coach football players. Netflix would love that story...

Classic case of two things can be true at once.... 1. We are woefully run and have been from day 1 of the SR tenure. I wouldn't trust them to run a Christmas club, let alone a football club. A 21-game streak merely papered over the cracks IMO. Root and branch change needed, probably new ownership required. Our reputation is shot whatever the outcome - that damage is done. 2. Gibson literally walked the EFL (and the tribunal panel) up the path to expulsion. Totally disproportionate and if left unchanged will not only impact this season but possibly the next 5-10. This, I hope, is what is being challenged today. Looking wider, football can and should take a note from Rugby - every offence has a stated penalty, with high, low and mid entry points and adjustments for mitigating circumstances. For us - this is a first offence since the codification of spying - so low entry point. Multiple offences so uplift to mid level, early admission - back to low as mitigation. A sizeable fine and suspended points deduction would be more in proportion - recognising that the offence is now codified.

A good acquisition - so long we sent a few of the SFC donkeys the other way... oh wait....

Their postgame show feels like it coming live from Dignitas... too funny!!

thats fucking mental that.....

We've established "Hungry eyes" and "Lying eyes" - Dragan must be "blinkered eyes" then?

Don't do this to me.... When I read "CB Partnership", I was hopeful that you'd uncovered some potential new owners.... 😞

and there is our real problem..... we'll stay on our downward spiral of managers and players until that lot go.

Looks like our lads all have Amazon prime subscriptions and watched Unbelievable! during the last week. Reminder of what our football should look like….

Have you not heard a Will Still presser?

And / or (as I’ve said before) Tessem. There’s no one in the club that really knows what it’s like to live and die for the red and white like we do. With an experienced DoF - who knows?? Can’t be any worse than the last half-dozen failures….

What about a former player - who was part of a solid team in solid times. Defender/DM maybe? Someone who would bleed for the club. If nothing else to get this squad of powder puffs with a bit of steel in them….

Thanks for the mem……….

Been like this since SR took over….

Still sounds utterly flat and depressed in the post-match interview with AB..... ...but then he has done so in every interview ever..

Time for the board to let him go....... then let themselves go...... We are broken from top to bottom in every way..

Stockholm syndrome 😊

And you like Still’s vanilla AI monotone banalities?

Has Jo Tessem got his coaching badges...? He calls it well most games, is passionate about the club and couldn't do any worse than the previous 5.....

Breaking it is one thing. Turning it into a massive steaming turd takes the skills of Wankersen and SR....

He sounds so weak in interviews - how can he ever fire up a side to go and give it their all? Energy mirrors energy - and he has none....

Reminds me of a midweek game against the toon back at the dell 0-1 at 87 mins and we only go and score three….

Absolutely roared with laughter when I heard this last night. Classic move and to think of that in a shootout situation! Only time I’ve heard the term shithousery used on national radio…

Lucy bronze. What a warrior, played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia. WTF!!!
