Ha... Great minds and all that.... When this first kicked off I did ponder if any FA sanction ends up just applying to first team activities, then chuck him back in the U21s and surreptitiously wire him up for training and match days... Not that I'm condoning cheating of course....

Lord D JWP jibe ✅ Next...

Fingers crossed he signed an NDA then...

A British news channel using the word "roster" in a world cup squad announcement. F**k off with your Americanisms you f***ing ****s.

I guess it could be argued that Tonda comes under "the exception that proves the rule" bracket...?

PLOT TWIST!!!!

Already discussing that one over here: 👍🏻

And bravo to the club scouts for plucking that scoop out of nowhere... Job well done

Too f***ing hot for that!

I've lost track of who has what remit, to be honest... I thought these football authorities just made things up as they went along, retrofitting punishments to certain misdemeanours but conveniently turning a blind eye to others....? Or maybe that's just unhinged mental gymnastics of course...

Yeah, that tweaked my intrigue too... But posting it on here will inevitably alert the forum's 'unhinged' patrol team if you're not careful....

Alas, yep, this....

Quite possibly, although I guess the opposite could be true... i.e. the club want to avoid the FA potentially (mis)perceiving their backing of Tonda as complacency or indirectly condoning what he did. In other words, they could simply have been advised by their legal bods to go into radio silence mode regardless of their intentions with regards Tonda. Who knows? #mentalgymnastics

"Rasmus Ankersen - always three steps ahead. Your negotiation, innovation, and vision are like nothing I've seen" 😂😂😂 Yep, like nothing most of us have ever seen too... 🤦🏼

Unhinged!

At least with actual swans you can still see the calm top half... The Sport Republic swan is currently in a submarine at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean....

Yeah, but what's more boring? Those still talking about it it or those who keep pointing out how boring it is...?

Coasters that stick to the bottom of glasses, mugs, etc, initially without you releasing. F**k off with your weird anti-gravity shit FFS!

I think this would actually be good optics in light of the 'damage' that needs repairing... "Academy poster boy returns to spearhead club reset efforts"

Blimey... I hadn't realised the punishment was that harsh...

I would imagine that most people voting to stick with Tonda will be mindful that it's caveated on the outcome of the FA enquiry....

Well, yes, of course... But "good news" and "resolving what's happened" aren't necessarily mutually exclusive events.... Potential 'good news' examples that won't resolve what's happened*... - refunds for play off semi finals - Sport Republic decide to sell up - the majority of players decide they're staying on to right the wrongs next season - half price season ticket renewals - Dragan to treble his investment in the club to almost guarantee us auto promotion next season - Monkey chicken dolphin petting zoo finally granted planning permission (*No I don't think any of these will actually happen, it's just unhinged "mental gymnastics" FFS... )

Spiritual...?

Is this one of those "I know it to be true but can't divulge my source so I'll ask it as a question instead" posts...?
