So, marching band outside the Hilton all night on Monday?

It's definitely a foul, but lots of those go unpunished. Not sure what the solution is.

Trossard looks like a jaundiced pervert.

If we're shown not to have done anything wrong then it absolutely is defamatory. He didn’t say we had been charged, he said we had cheated and implied we had done it lots of times. Definitely actionable if not shown to be true. No point suing him, other than for fun, though.

If we get off, we should sue Hellberg for the lolz.

By the way, if you want to have some fun online, you can tell any Boro fans saying we have cheated that they will get sued for defamation. Just a bit of fun, leek, me fishy on a dishy.

No idea, but he wouldn't be the first person to waste a career by doing something stupid.

Isn't the best guess at the identity of the person that it's some guy who interned at Saints and is currently at student at Derby uni? Not massively far-fetched for him to be interested in watching the session. Or maybe Tonda told him to do it. We don't know.

We haven't done anything. We don't know what the position is.

Why do you keep saying we aren't disputing it? We don't know that, do we?

Yeah, there's clearly enough evidence to bring a charge if someone associated with SFC was watching the session. But whether it was some freelancer on a frolic or was doing it with the connivance of the club, we don't know. We may be guilty as sin, or it might be something pretty silly. Either way, I wouldn't expect the club to get involved in the details publicly whilst the semi is ongoing.

We don't know what the club is doing.

The obvious thing to do is to be very helpful in tone, and be cooperative, but also drag it out as long as possible.

True, although it would be beyond funny if the ref gave us a bunch of dodgy decisions.
