The ref and lino got it right. Had Butterfield passed the ball as opposed to be smashed by it then there would be no debate on the matter, the Laws of the Game treat those two situations identically.

My god, I forgot all about that LOL. My computer history was Spectrum 48k, Spectrum +3 (yes the disk drive model with 128k), Commodore Amiga, 286, 386, 486 etc.

Post of the day, genuine LOL.

TBF I can't recall anyone reporting any of your posts.

Didn't Barnard sign an 18 month deal, last January?

To paraphrase the soon to be sacked Blackburn manager, if we gave an infraction for every breach of the rules we'd have 10 bannings a day.

And you know this how?

Don't disagree with your first paragraph, in hindsight a bit of warning would have been a better idea. PS. How do you know Hypo hasn't been infracted for the same?

Serious argument here please http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28713-Making-Infractions-Public Back to Wonders of the Solar System please.

Quite a bit of debate on whether to do this. Personally I was open to the idea, but having done it on a thread earlier I am not so sure it is a good idea. The forum software does not make it easy (or even possible as far as I aware) to do this in an automated way so it would be down to Mods and admin to manually post them manually. In addition a lot of the posts we infract are deleted without the majority of the users getting to see them. Having to leave posts there, or the mystery of what they might of been is probably more damaging than the offence itself. If you are interested how it panned out see the thread in question http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28699-Wonders-of-the-solar-system

http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28634-Renewal&p=983704#post983704 Now very confused. Obviously not the right type of transparency Hypo, thanks for the tip. Will look out for the program

The infraction was real. A serious thread, in The Lounge, with a comment that would have likely kicked off the usual slanging match on here. If you look at the renewal thread in site suggestions there was an idea to make infractions public. As a test I published the next I gave. Going forward I won't bother as everyone then spends the rest of the thread debating the validity of the infraction. In answer to your question Dune, I took all the previous 6646 crimes into account.

As a scientific experiment I made public the next infraction I gave. http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?28699-Wonders-of-the-solar-system I shan't bother again as it actually end up killing the thread even more.

****?

Active Infraction (Points: 1) Posting a sarcastic/pointless remark

Charming.

Agree, but still wouldn't be surprised if they 'helped' them to complete fixtures.

Would that be Gareth being loaned to them?

I believe that clubs who cannot complete their fixtures have previous results cancelled. L1 would be 44 games long. I'd rather they didn't liquidate tbh.

The league (albeit Premier variety) did a deal for Pompey to complete their fixtures. So not completely out of the question is it?

Brighton lose 6 points Bournmouth 6 points Huddersfield 3 points P'boro 3 points Table as of today would look like 1 Brighton 30 59 2 Southampton 31 55 3 Bournemouth 32 55 4 Huddersfield 32 54 5 Peterborough 32 53

Shocking if they do liquidate, still on the bright side would improve our points situation given that we haven't taken any points against them and I presume others in top 6 have. In reality the league or someone will bail them out.

Just seen the highlights on MOTD2. Very sad to see, two young boys who will grow up without the most important man in their lives. Well done to Wolves and their fans for a fitting tribute.

My point was they will be the biggest laughing stock in history, or have to massively overspend to get 17th place. It will all end in tears, the stakes will just get higher and higher if they get promotion (which I do not think will happen).
