The statements from Dragan and Tonda have reignited the pile on from sanctimonious journos and pundits with few exceptions. They clearly aren't satisfied with their pound of flesh from our expulsion from the Play-Off Final and don't see that as sufficient punishment for what has been built up to be the worst crime in the history of football. Their full focus has now turned to an almost universal baying for Tonda to receive a lengthy ban. I fear the continued witch hunt is likely to lead to a lengthy ban for Eckert from the FA and wouldn't be surprised to see him banned from English football. The mob have worked themselves up into another frenzy and the FA will probably be swayed by the public outcry led by Henry Winter, the BBC, Talk Sport and MSM.

Hope England players don't do any cheating on the pitch or all the Talk Sport melts and Henry Winter will be raging with utter contempt and indignation and calling for them to be expelled from the competition.

Agree. There are rules that cover diving to win free kicks/penalties. Both are blatant forms of cheating and both go on in every game. Too many pundits and journos on high horses when the most blatant forms of cheating go on right in front of their noses and they don't say a fucking word.

If you're looking for any honest people in football you haven't been following the game closely enough because there aren't any.

Wait for the media pile on to hit P&O Cruises for this statement 🙂

Great news. Some said we'd struggle to get sponsors.

He appears on a fans podcast which I enjoy watching and generally I agree with a lot of what he says. In this instance he tended to join in the pile on of the club. He knows there is no integrity in football - it's a game full of cheating and cheaters so we shouldn't be encouraging this feeding frenzy that portrays us as the worst of the worst. We are not and the punishment meted out has been disproportionate so let's circle the wagons and stand up for the football club rather than joining those throwing the rocks at us.

Says the biggest twat 🙂 Forum policeman has spoken again. It's ok to disagree with people without resorting to insults. You should try it some time.

Henry Winter is hard to ignore but it's well worth making the effort.

Was actually using him as a stick to beat the other 3 prats with.

Steve Grant was the only one who showed any sort of loyalty to the club on TSP. The rest just joined in the pile on and maybe should have waited until they'd heard more from the club. They now look rather foolish.

Yet they set the rule for observing training. If you are correct it seems a bit of a contradiction.

Is this a shift in opinion or do you still believe Tonda is a wanker who shouldn't be near the payroll of the club?

Glad to hear he called out the onfield cheating that goes on in every game of football and makes the EFL look like a bunch of imbeciles because they condone it by allowing it to continue. Hypocrites.

More reason for him to shut the fuck up considering the things Pompey have got up to over the years.
