Agreed. He's better with his back to goal than with the ball at his feet. I'd like to think we'll upgrade him, but if he's our number 2, we may as play him.

BBD through the middle isn't as bad as BBD out wide. I'd like to see how he does playing there after a Tonda pre season.

Clueless.

Thanks for that. So trying to compare an apple to an orchard. Still shows poor judgement, at best, though.

No idea mate, I'm just trying to think of a logical reason for the ridiculous delay. If they're proceeding based on the same incidents as the EFL, it should be quick and easy. All a bit odd.

There's a paywall... headline doesn't look great though!

The punishment was a package, so any appeal would address all issues together. The timing point is being made out as an issue that it isn't. As the appellant, you want an urgent appeal, not a delay - you want a wrong rectified without delay. Same day or short delay appeals are common. There shouldn't be a need to spend ages preparing for an appeal of that sort. Our case was that the panel got it wrong based on the evidence, the rules and any precedent. Any credible legal team should know how they say the panel got it wrong, and be able to take that into an urgent appeal.

I'm not sure all the facts were known. We admitted three specific episodes, and the tribunal made certain findings. Whether the FA are investigating whether Tonda did anything else, we don't know, but that's the only reason I can think of for the prolonged delay.

Prick is my go to. Fine word.

I think any immigration assesment should include knowledge of UK derogatory terms. Essential for integration.

It's good, but I'll raise you Plonker.

Wally is a belter.

That's one of your better posts.

Oh that's it! Making it temporary doesn't alter the scope. What's the reduced scope you suggest? Let's assume there's no safe areas - ie Gaza, or nowhere safe for certain people, ie disabled or an oppressed group? Your explanation re overseas processing isn't clear. Someone in France, wanting to come here, where do they get processed?

Reduce to what? Which countries would allow us to process there? Wouldn't that just invite more applications?
