At least we now know exactly what cheating is. Be a real nightmare if that was even slightly subjective.

The best thing Russel Martin can do now for his career, is succeed at Leicester. These woe me interviews repainting the passage of time are fooling nobody. He isn't solely to blame for what happened, after all someone should have spotted his dogmatic, rigid approach and given him an ultimatum far earlier than his too late into the season sacking. But he seemingly cannot take any accountability for any of his failures, and that is rather dangerous in the world of football. He better hope they have fully extinguished all the rot from Leicester's dressing room, or this little experiment will eat him up. League one is a battle ground where ego's go to die. Time to walk the walk.

Never before have I wanted a summer of speculation to end. Roll on the season start. At least then we can fight it on the pitch.

People so desperate for footy news, they'd believe anything perhaps. Bit weird though. At least focus on some juicy good news like we're in talks with Vinny jr or something.

This thread is clearly on drugs.

The problem is, we are dealing with absurdity. Logic has been long forgotten.

If in doubt, buy a right back.

Couldn't find a generic football thread to post on, so settled here instead. Has anyone else been listening to Darragn Macanthony ramblings on talksport? I kept catching his digs at us. And couldn't work out why. But now its starting to fit. He was the owner of Peterborough when we were in L1. Weren't they pretty irritating those seasons if memory serves? Anyway, Spygate is the most criminal of all crimes. Tonda should be sacked and deported. We should never be forgiven. That's the short of it. But then he goes on...... Turns out he loves Russel Martin and Leicester. I mean serious infatuation. At one point he was begging for a billionaire to buy them. Couldn't quite work out the tentative connection, unless they used to date some time back? He's a weird fella.

If it is as common place as people are saying, then our best form of defence would be to whittle out other spies and make this a football wide issue. The amount of football staff that get removed and feel spurned would make this a relatively easy task, especially when monetising it. Why wouldn't we be seeing more coming forward knowing how much of a shit show this has been? Is it the danger of self persecution, or something more sinister? But seriously, if this is common place, lets drag it into the light using any means necessary.

Imagine it was Millwall. Sending a intern to a opposition training ground within the 72 hr frame on multiple occasions. Would that fill you with incandescent rage that would ingulf you for the summer? It's laughably dumb. Its fucking stupid. If there's an advantage gained, hit them with a massive fine. Okay. But I don't believe anyone would be dining out on this daily, waiting for the next over reaction from the governing body. I really don't. I now find myself longing for the next infringement. The next scandal. Just imagine the punishment for lets say bribing a official. Illegal betting and manipulation of gameplay. Violence and threats against the opposition. Racism. Spending well beyond your means and tax avoidance. Ball-boys not returning the ball. Corner flag over watered. No hot water in the away team dressing room, The rules can be subjective. But the punishments cannot be this disproportionate. Every case from now on has a yard stick. But that's the point. We know full well that they will never go this hard again. This is the precedent. This is the one flex, from a bullshit cowardly organisation that spends most of its time avoiding accountability.

I'd rather have a suspended Tonda than a Will Sill (nothing personal, could have been any number of names inserted) on the sidelines for the start of the season. Standing by him was the right thing to do. And time will prove that. This thread will go on to be the most bumped/bookmarked thread in SW's history.

Kevin Keegan, a sad loss for the football world. A infectious smile, a man who wore is heart on his sleeve. The scorer of the best disallowed goal ever. RIP

Yep. And Ross needs a pre season more than any other player. Or he'll start the season like a 56 year old man reaching too far for the remote with a bout of sciatica. Click click snap.

I think we used up all the goals.

An interview with the enemy. Man, that takes some doing. After suffering threats, paying the biggest price, the most over the top punishment ever distributed. And yet, still just having this hanging over you, but also having to talk to the sneering press. I hope he gives them nothing this season, dead eyed monosyllabic answers and depart. Nothing. He has paid an unfair price already. He owes nothing more. I hope he gets off to a good start and frustrates them further.
