And calling something a "hack" when they're just doing something correctly.

It's even better than that... "The only control or 'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!" That's got to make the Trump top 10 surely. Hight IQ 😂🤣😂

Yep. Whitey has previously come across as a decent fella, but being comfortable with people drowning is a disgrace.

Are you suggesting that the top down orders were from above Tonda?

It didn't for me, and made the obvious point that there was no other sporting sanction (points wouldn't bite if we went up) so exclusion from the play offs picked itself as the only available sporting sanction.

The circumstances around the spying will doubtless be a factor.

Jeez Whitey, I didn't have you marked as a leave people to drown kind of guy.

I think the only answer to that is that we will never know the answer. It doesn't alter the fact, however, that we can't leave them to drown at sea just in case they're wrong uns.

I'll ask again, were you there? If so, say so. If not, stop saying what you claim happened. Anyways, I reckon you're the fella top middle.

Phone - tech, we weren't invited, thus intrusion. Our legal team ballsed it up first time round by, amongst other things, not recognising the seriousness. They won't be that stupid this time.

I disagree, vastly different. The similarities they'll see with Canada are direct breach of an express rule, use of prohibited tech and intrusion, top down coercion of staff. Leeds was different to that. Anyways, it only matters how the FA view it, but it won't be a light penalty.

That's another perspective. I think the issue will be a time / game suspension, with the Canadian precedent being time, and our approach being to look at the likely matches in that time.

Although I get that, we're in a playoff position after 7 games, and only 4 (ha!) off top 2. From here on in, it's in our hands.

Although I get the precedent on that, women's international teams usually play 8-12 games over a 12 month period. If they follow the time ban, that means a ban of 50 + games, which is vastly different. What Tonda did wasn't 5-6 times worse so doesn't warrant 5-6 times the ban.

Nice!
