Does anybody know the actual process of getting an independent body involved or the threshold etc. By that I mean, do the EFL look at the evidence and then decide there’s a case to answer and it’s so serious we need to be water tight. Do they just refer it to the independent body regardless of what they think or has our guilty plea, with mitigation mean the body are just dishing out the appropriate punishment. If we’d been accused of something else, tapping up for example, would that also go to this body, or would the EFL issue the sanction. I’m trying to work out whether the EFL getting this body involved automatically means there will be serious sporting sanctions. In short, why couldn’t the EFL decide the punishment, with an independent body hearing any appeal.

I just saw a great point about Hull. Both us & Middlesborough will have 10 days to prepare for playing Hull, whereas they might not know until Tuesday who they are playing. If watching training within 72 hours of a game, gives you an advantage, what does an extra week knowing your opponent must do similar….

It’s a mess. But it’s a mess of our making, not Middlesbrough, not their supporters, or their tame hacks & not the EFL. Sometimes there’s a ridiculous penalty awarded in the game, the phrase used is “he gave the referee a decision to make”, well we’ve given the authorities a decision to make, & rightly or wrongly, they could kick us out. Somebody at the club needs to pay for that with their job and I don’t mean the nipper with the iPhone. It’s a fucking shambles…. The general consensus on here is we’ll be ok, but I’m up and down. Sometimes I think it’ll be nothing, an hour later I’m thinking we’re fucked. The only thing I’m sure of, is the independent panel are independent. They’re also a body which relies on their integrity and reputation, they’re not going to be bothered about the logistics of playing the game without us, or Harry Styles gigging on the alternative date. Equally, they won’t want their decision being overturned by SR’s lawyers. The only consideration will be a verdict which is fair in most people’s eyes, proportionate and legally defendable. The truth is nobody really knows what they’ll be presented with or what our mitigation is. Trying to second guess why this has happened (tickets going on sale) or that happened, is pointless. It’s all up in the air and it wouldn’t be if we’d stuck to the rules…. Fucking shambles.

Daily mirror saying they’ll sit tomorrow

😂😂 Good job there weren’t any contentious offsides then…

What do you think it’s fucking based on. It’s based on the fact we broke the friggin rules. Fuck me… It’s his opinion based on that.

Why Wrexham? Unless they can prove we’ve been doing it during the main season, it’s got fuck all to do with them.

Not lasting 2 years with a fucking massive majority & the main opposition party still bumping along the bottom of the opinion polls, you have to be pretty fucking useless. By the time the Tories started tearing themselves apart, they’d been in office about 6 years and it was off the back of a very divisive referenda. To fuck up this badly & be so useless is actually a pretty remarkable achievement.

In a thread that contains more than its share of pony, you have managed to reach the peak of absolute bollocks. If that is the theory you’ve come up with after “thinking about it”, may I suggest thinking less maybe your best option going forward.

Maurice Glasman is one figure who could persuade me to vote labour. He’s about the only sensible voice I’m hearing lately and he says Mahmood the only person that can save Labour from the “nasty & insulting metropolitan graduate elite, who have abandoned the working classes” (his words, not mine). It’s about time labour had a female leader, but I doubt it will be her.

It’s not because of the way he talks or a newspaper agenda. It’s because he’s fucking useless and people can see he’s a steaming great hypocrite & a fraud. He was pious & all moralistic when in opposition, yet he’s exactly the same as all the others. When you set yourself up as a whiter than white “country before party” crusader who is going to clean up politics & bring order and stability after years of Tory cronyism & incompetence, you are going to get it with both barrels when within weeks your Government is a shit show, you and your ministers are grubbing around with freebies for yourself and families, and you’re appointing cronies to important positions. You can’t say you’ll take responsibility for stuff then chuck people under the bus & feign ignorance when the shite hits the fan. Labour MP’s are reporting he’s more toxic on the door steps than Corbyn ever was, and the “right wing media” haven’t given him half the stick Jezza got. He’s out of his depth, doesn’t understand the ordinary joe & is the perfect example of someone failing upwards. Like the Tories in ‘92 the worse thing that happened to the Labour Party was winning the election with this did in charge.

Do you actually believe this pony.

Yep, he cost them, not the VAR. Delayed it too long, I presume he thought the keeper would commit earlier. By the time he shot, the keeper was closer.

Of course it’s all a conspiracy 😂😂

😂😂 How anybody can think that wasn’t a foul…
