Yep, there was zero "orchestration", based on the independent FA panel's conclusions. i.e. Completely the opposite of the prevailing media narrative over the last 5 months, and counting...

Whether they would have exercised bias or not (either consciously or subconsciously) is a moot point... The point is, if you have, say, 100 people to choose from, 99 of which have zero connection with the clubs involved, you don't choose the 1 person that does, no matter how tenous.

"Spying plan" 😂 #buffoon

As long as we use the 'Middlesborough' misspelling in the match day programme and on the big screens, then I'll be happy 😁

You and I will probably disagree on that until the end of time...

Not forgetting that for the 'Ipswich training at Eastleigh' case, Tonda didn't even request that we 'spy' on them, he just happened to be shown a video by someone who was there filming it. And in the Middlesborough (sic) situation, it was someone else that suggested they go up there, not Tonda. I think I'm correct in saying that, out of the 3 'spying' charges, Tonda only instigated one of them off his own back, i.e. Oxford? Hardly an orchestrated and sustained initiative. How many football managers can put their hands up and say they've never had sight of any 'shady' information during their career? Simple: none of them. Every manager will have been in the same position as Tonda found himself in at some point. We were just stupid enough not to work out that Middlesborough (sic) would be ready and waiting to capture our presence and take full advantage thereof... (Footnote for the forum thought police: No, I'm not condoning what we did, just highlighting that everyone probably does it, in some shape or form, and we were just stupid and or naive enough to get caught, and rightly punished for doing so, although disproportionately IMO)

Northerners in 'thick as mince' shocker...

A Sun "journalist" preaching about morality... Now that's what I call irony...

O'Dowd used to be Head of Football Administration at Leeds United... Her time there pre-dated Bielsa's tenure by several years, but might have come into her thinking... #tenouslink

Do we know who was on the commission? Need to buy them a beer.
