Surely if they are banning him they would prefer to do it prior to the first game because it will make them look worse.

Would be even worse if you listened to it on one of these

Could be wrong but you would think if we were going to hear today it would be telegraphed a bit. Talksport seemed to know about it last time.

If that's true I assume the club already know what it's leaning towards. Is it a coincidence that the echo and solent are all there along with Solak? Can we read much into the fact that Tonda hasn't done much in the way of interviews this week?

Based on what? He has quite clearly said he was wrong and apologised a nukber of times.

If he would prefer the security of a two year deal then I don't entirely blame him

I think Blackburn have pipped us to him.

And that's making it harsher presumably from the start of the season. Tonda has three instances though.

Obviously any last minute sale would be contingent on us having the time to sign a suitable replacement. That much is clear.

I know this is far from confirmation, but if what you say came to pass and we had Peretz Bree Stephens THB Manning Downes/bragg Jander/new cm Fellows Azaz/Dobbin Scienza Larin/Stewart With maybe the likes of Downs, Archer, Roeslev, Quarahie, wood, Edozie in reserve I would probably put some money on us for automatic promotion even with a points deduction. Obviously just speculation at the moment but that would be a stronger team than last year even without Charles. I still think THB goes because Blackmore yesterday seemed quite sure.

No idea what your source is but that would be absolutely incredible. Wonder if archer will go.

Eh? Are you suggesting we will sell first team starters without replacing them? Why would you think that?

I think I made some reasonable points about some media and then it's rather undermined by an absolute spanner sort of supporting my point but in reality just being a massive spastic.

You'd have to be absolutely mental to give someone with his injury record a three year contract. Maybe that's why no one has signed him.

Yes I believe so. If the reports are correct then he isn't contesting the charges. I'm not sure why they would then have to have another hearing with him. Surely that would only be the case if it goes to appeal.

I thought he'd already been interviewed extensively for hours?

Lol

If true probably not a good sign...

So is tomorrow day one of PT? (post Tonda) or is this dragging on for a few weeks yet?

Indeed. Absolutely should not be asking for any sort of expedited appeals process if the punishment is too draconian.

Surely he won't be banned until after the result of an appeal. Might get a game or two in if it drags in much longer!

TBF if he signed a new contract on more money for a season it would make it much more likely that he doesn't go for a season. More likely that he Just waits it out and sees if someone comes in for him though

You missed the point of my post entirely. Someone asked what I was I didn't like about it and I answered. At no point was I infuriated. I just stopped watching.

Fair enough. I could see how it might be a more enjoyable show in that case.

Again obviously everything is subjective. Personally as a big fan of Tolkein I think it's been absolutely terrible. Straying from the book to cast different ethnicities in roles was a distraction, particularly when the cast went out of their way to draw attention to it ('first female dwarf' was a load of old bollocks). The show seemed to assign ethnicity individually so Arondir appeared to be the single black elf with no explanation. Middle earth was always about a collection of developed people and cultures rather than random diverse individuals scattered in to meet Amazon's hiring criteria. Worse than that though was morfydd Clark as Galadriel. She was written appallingly, I didn't like her acting. She was unlikable, looked too slight and young and lacked any of the characteristics of the character from the book or the Jackson adaptations. She's not exactly cate Blanchett. In fact many of the characters weren't a patch on the originals and felt like a fan service type thing with inferior versions. The Harfoots were joke characters who made no sense and I found it particularly jarring to see Lenny Henry in there. Oh and trying humanise orcs and make them sympathetic is absolutely idiotic. The show has rightly tanked with reviews and audiences when you would assume that lord of the rings would be incredibly easy to get people to watch.
