Eventually we always revert to Russball.

And now I'm beginning to believe you. Things must be good if DD is cooking.

The long unbeaten run goes on (excluding the FA Cup)

Just as he hits peak form people want rid of him.

Took it round the keeper past a defender before cooly slotting into an empty net from 4 yards.

He's knocking on the door.

From what I recall he said something along the lines of he was looking forward to getting back to Staplewood for pre-season training.

When spygate happened I heard directly from a reliable source who worked in the game as a senior analyst that this observing of other teams training goes on all the time. Everyone knew it was happening and, until Boro decided to kick off, there was an unwritten law that clubs turned a blind eye. Others on here have said similar. Doesn't excuse what we did but, for me, it puts it into perspective.

Missed that one 🙂

You'd think they'd be very careful about getting over confident of a light punishment after the EFL ban from play-off final.

The Athletic report that sources at the club are confident Tonda will receive no ban.

Henry Winter will be apoplectic if the FA judge doesn't put on his black cap.

Agree although there will be procedures to follow.

In a nutshell.

The following is quoted from the FA regarding possible sanctions for breach of rule E3.1 Sporting sanctions: Suspension from matches (length varies by level and seriousness — e.g., low: 0–2 matches, mid: 1–3 matches, high: 3–6 matches in the National League System) No mention of lengthy bans so this surely implies they'd be on dodgy ground if they hit Eckert with anything more than a 6 match ban unless they consider his offence was well above high level of seriousness.
