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!

Amazing that people don't get this. He needed time in league 1 to ignite his career, and we weren't in league 1. He wasn't going to play for us last year, and had we gone up, he wouldn't have played for is this year.

Good. Normal people will continue to give them their full support, and let's be honest, the idiots who see them as having done wrong aren't likely to be RNLI donators.

And neither should it, or will it. The suggestion that they'd be selective about who they'd help is ridiculous. I'm staggered that it's even a discussion that the RNLI, or frankly anyone, should or shouldn't help certain people at sea. That they were escorted into our waters by the French is the disgrace, not that they were helped when they got there.

Ah, gotcha, my point addressed the lifeboat/ops.

If I was right leaning I'd probably say that too. Agreed re the second part.

We'll never know what happened...if it was Russia or Mossad (on the day we announced sanctions against Israel), that wouldn't be revealed.

Eh? What does this have to do with lifeboat operators being willing to assist a boat where the lives of these on board are endangered?

Nope, but I'd imagine they've learned from it. Not repeating the mistake is surely a good thing...
