All player contracts would be terminated. I just hope that those who are blameless, can somehow move on with their lives. The women's team could use the stadium. After they and the stadium rename themselves, to distance themselves from the shame. That's a constructive view. Obviously, the main feeling would be to dismantle the stadium. While salting the earth at Carthage was a myth, we could apply that here. Then leave it as a stark warning to others about fair play. A cautionary relic that clubs like Man City, Chelsea and Leicester can look at it and say thanks that it could never be them.

One of our arguments in the hearing is that looking at their training made no difference, as @Turkish had already predicted the outcome. 🙂

I'm not sure that a Neil Shipperley book is going to make that much of a difference.

In fairness, that unbeaten run prediction is going quite well. 🙂

Aw. But that takes away the fun of guessing when he'd get it naturally.

As long as the others are there tied together. At least we have a chance and it's not dependent on Downs and Baz. 🙂

It'll be worth it, when he gets here.

No survivors = no witnesses.

Lazy lot. Newer pic are easy enough to find. Well done Ross! (Stay injury free)

Prediction: Fine of more than £2million Some scouting restrictions, and ensuring correct internal training is in place. Suspended points deduction of 3 points, reduced to 2 as we've cooperated.

I turned over to hear the commentary say "he can find an angle. He can find a pass." JWP passed it 5 yards sideways. 🙂

I agree with this rumour, as a proportionate response.

Your new avatar?

He needs time to build his approach. He has to have a squad capable of doing at least the basics. He needs a bit of patience. Not the best fit for any of that. A bit of #Watfordwatch next season, as I'm always curious to see how his system gets on.

Awesome. Both are better than Gnarly.

On Stephens, Wood has made a few strong, long passes, is a presence at set pieces, and has got back very quickly when needed. So, I can see an argument for keeping him.

If you noticed @hypochondriac's avatar then it has failed in it's spying mission. 🙂

Bruno Fernandes....hmmmmm....name trend....

You did! There was a table with a cake. Everyone spied on it from 100 yards away, taking the odd phone pic.

It will free up time for him to focus on Villa's Champions League games. 🙂 (Sorry. Couldn't resist)

Yeah. I remember Mourinho subbing him, for not listening to instructions. It didn't look as though he had much of a future. Just on the other points above, it was clearly controlled by the hand, and a terrible call.

I was at my local football, so missed the second half of the Celtic v Hearts game. From what I'm told the Celtic fans invaded the pitch before the game was finished. That it was a 2 goal advantage makes no difference. There was at least 30 seconds, plus whatever time for the goal celebration, p,us whatever else during added time the ref saw fit to add on. We've just seen the York v Rochdale game that turned on the added time. Looking at headlines, it's all about crowd trouble in Glasgow city centre and them picking up the trophy. I'd heard Beards left as quickly as they could, with rumours of assault and safety concerns. Not a peep about potential sanctions, that considering the game was still on, should include points deductions. Edit: SFA state that the game was over, and not abandoned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4g9ww4p09do Edit2: Except the ref blew the whistle due to the pitch invasion. So, it's poor after all, with the SFA washing their hands of that, as the whistle was blown. https://www.givemesport.com/celtic-hearts-keith-hackett-verdict-abandon-game-scottish-premiership/

From Beeb... "He made clear this could only happen if a new mandate..." so, yup a new...oh, hang on... "...was secured, such as at a general election." so, not a specific Brexit vote.
