St Chalet

Depends how much he knew. Also what league we are in next year.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/rugby-union/articles/cqjd1p98l4jo Someone comparing what we did to this 😂 A systematic pre-planned operation to cheat on the field with associated cover up. Aussies and their sandpaper etc. This is a football Badger on an iPhone 2 days before a game FFS.

Was Bielsa sacked for doing this?

Still remember the first page of the Skate takeover thread. Was like Genesis.

The Takeover threads, both Saints and Pompey eat this for breakfast.

Having read a few of the league judgements, these are professional people looking at the facts, previous cases and proportionality. Boro looking desperate now which is a good sign. Saints doing our business in private will play out better. My position all along is we will admit the charge and provide as much mitigation as we can.

It would be just like us to get to the final and fuck it up.

Enter Wrexham for the Hollywood ending?

You’d have to think this wasn’t systemic and authorised. If it was, you’d have to think the club would have suspended all involved including Tonda before the games if there was evidence.

Worrying given you clearly have some ITK credibility history.

Who is the home team? Bagsy Yellow.

For full disclosure, I am a Houston Astros fan, we will get thorugh this....

Yeah. Bye bye.

I am not sure Steve can achieve what Rupert failed to achieve.

You have to feel for the lad Will Salt. A huge amount of media pressure on some very young shoulders and must be worried about where this leaves his career. Boro have hung him out to dry. Utter *unts.

From the BBC article: In 2021, Boro launched legal proceedings against Derby County. They claimed the Rams' financial breaches had cost them a play-off place in 2018-19. The two parties eventually reached a "resolution", which BBC Sport believes resulted in Boro being paid £2m.

He's basically said that the EFL won't kick us out and Boro should do a private deal for compensation.

This is uncharted territory in many ways: 1) As I understand no other club has been charged with this specific offence, so no prescident. 2) There is a very strict timeline, the final cannot be paused or put back, it's happening. 3) There may be the need for a wider investigation, eg have others done it? With so much at stake this will rumble on for a good long time. I suspect we'll enter into a defence with extreme mitigation and have an out of court settlement with Boro.

If the ref had heard it then he should have dealt with it at the time. Has Steve Gibson hired a lip reader yet?

Didn't score tonight but so much man love for him.

And all the time we will be chanting!

Thought I'd be the first.... Well played xx

Taking my tin hat off, where did 5 minutes extra time in a 15 minute half come from?
