Weston Super Saint

It's why all the best posters have left.

To be fair, it's way more than '1'

Looks like they, and many other people were wrong about that.

That would have been entirely inconsistent with every other punishment ever handed out for confirmed cheating in a cup competition. There really would have been a case of 'moral incosistency' had that happened.

Clutching at straws there. Martin had the opportunity to manage us in the Premier League. He had the opportunity to take us to the heady heights of the Europa League. He failed. Miserably. The Europa League games for Rangers were despite Martin, not because of him. Literally any manager they chose to manage the team at the start of last season would have been 'managing in a Europa League game'. Any manager. Even Wayne Rooney had they chosen him.

There is no 'moral inconsistency'. We cheated in a cup competition, we were thrown out. Swindon cheated in a cup competition, they were thrown out. That seems pretty consistent. I'm sure Bielsa something, something, something will be mentioned, but that did not happen in a cup competition. That's before we get to the point about the rule not existing at the time.

Utter nonsense. We broke the rules, we were punished. Pretty simple. Trting to draw some equivalence to a cup competition and speed limits is, well, pretty simple.

Which criteria are you using to determine that the Scottish Premier League is a 'higher level' than the English Premier League?

What are you on about? Leicester is (was) a big club and they've played in Europe! All the boxes have been ticked. It's not Russel's fault that you interpret the box ticking differently. I suspect you are also one of the people who didn't truly understand how the game should be played.

As you've already pointed out, the rule comes in to play for a specific time period. What else do you consider breaking the rule to be if not 'cheating'?

And there are no monkey chickens to pet?

None of them look particularly happy.

100m of track isn't going to achieve much

There is no rule about spying in the Premier League, so, by default, they didn't break any rules. There is a rule about spying in the EFL, which we broke. It's staggering how people still don't understand this yet.

I can come up with 30 million reasons if you want them?
