Agree with this. I strongly doubt it made a difference and that he showed any bias but you'd think in a case with this publicity and the magnitude of the sanction they'd want to avoid even the suggestion. Like I say I don't think it made any difference but we definitely should have challenged it at the time if only to try and delay things.

England only (well anything in FA's jurisdiction so would include the Welsh clubs). I think they could ask FIFA to extend it worldwide though.

It did take place as we had footage. This was the thing we lied about on the day of the charge. Tonda's defence was that none of the footage was useful.

I don't see why anyone gives a shit whether we're liked by other clubs or not? I literally couldn't care less. Leave that noddyness to the skates.

I have faith in the FAB sorting this all out.

You're right, that is crazy.

Never going to happen.

Yeah but that doesn't matter in practical terms at all.

EFL website says booking fees included in refund. Though interestingly doesn't state that your team not participating is a valid reason for refund 👀

Why on earth are people talking about tickets being sold twice? Ours will be cancelled and refunded you mentalists.

It was chaired by a KC. Absolutely no chance the ban is getting overturned. At best we'll get the point deduction reduced.

It'll be out of our hands. Banned by the FA I reckon.

No the panel decide the sentence also, hence the EFL having the right to appeal.

We're not going to sue them for £200m ffs 🤣

Yeah they're the other party to the case.

Yeah that'll be one of the main reasons for handing it over. I doubt the EFL want us to get kicked out which means they won't appeal it when we're not.

I don't think we'll be kicked out but I highly doubt the IDC gives a monkeys about fans booking travel and hotels etc.

Why are people still spouting this bank details bollocks? The business doesn't get names from card transactions like that.

Full write up will be at least a month away I reckon. Only released the one for the WBA point deduction a few days ago I think.

I retract what I said yesterday. This forum hasn't gone quite as mental as theirs yet.

Speaking of tempo and clapping, since when exactly did 'stand up if you love the Saints' need to be accompany by coked up knobheads clapping at a million miles an hour? Just means it doesn't last long enough to spread round the ground.

In fairness there's nothing stopping the panel from handing down a punishment which benefits Boro. But they absolutely do not 'have' to.

But they don't though. The 4 things to meet going round that the EFL have used before doesn't include it.

Not sure they have to ensure Boro have get some recompense at all. They have to punish us but that doesn't mean they also have to reward Boro. Effectively it's nothing to do with them anymore.

No the IDC will decide the sanction too, with the EFL having the right to appeal.
