  1. Not being charged isn't a precedent. A precedent is what's done after charge, and for something comparable. If I get caught doing 50 in a 30, but get waved off, it doesn't mean that others will get away with similar.
  2. Err, ok mate. One bloke getting away without a charge doesn't create a precedent for people not to be charged in the future.
  3. Bielsa wasn't charged by the FA. We aren't going to rock up at FA towers and say "you didn't charge Bielsa, so nothing to see here" so I'm not sure why people keep bringing up Bielsa.
  4. Touchline feels very unlikely for an offence which happened away from the pitch.
  5. Indeed. Sadly that naivety and arrogance ran through our approach to process, and cost us. Hopefully we won't see a repeat.

    Yep, but out of interest, what's the Chat GPT prediction?

    Maybe, but I'm not sure the FA stops functioning during tournaments. Let's see what happens, but there's no doubting that any ban starting soon hurts more than a ban starting a while ago.

    What's the defence to misconduct when you've admitted something which is misconduct? There's also findings that we're guilty "contrived and determined plan from the top down". We're stuck with those findings as a fact to be punished on. There's no defence. It's mitigation. We took an unrealistic approach to the League charges, and paid the price. The lesson to have learned was to be more realistic - defending something that a) you've admitted, and b) been found to have done, isn't realistic.

    I'm assuming they'll ban him, for a relatively short period, and the ban has more impact if it kicks in during pre season than just after the season ends.
  10. That they've charged him isn't a suprise, but the timing is a disgrace. Impossible to predict the penalty, but I'd imagine it'll be a ban. If it was to be a slap on the wrists, they'd have done that a while back, but they wouldn't have wanted part of a ban to burn out before the players are back. This feels like a bit of a stitch up in the making.
  11. If Starmer had died suddenly or in tragic circumstances, do you think the flag wavers would have mourned or celebrated his passing? We all know the answer, so let's stop with this 2 tier mourning bollox.

  13. I'm not sure what makes you think there'd be a different reaction to a brutal murder of a politician based on whether they're on the left or the right. I think this is a you issue.
  14. Harrison Reed coming back this way would be nice. He'd surely be surplus to requirements there if they sign Charles.
  15. I thought they said not politically linked initially, but may be wrong.
  16. I think people that often see, and don't see, whatever suits their narrative. And yep, reporting doesn't help.
  17. I'm not sure that's the case. What's odd in this case was the police initial comments, not the media. Being so quick to say that the murder of a politician wasn't politically motivated was peculiar.
  18. He'll probably bank £30-40m in 3 years or so. I think we'll see more young players go there early when they're in demand early in their careers - there's no guarantee that they'll be in demand later in their career, or that the gravy train will still be running.

  20. I'm not sure it's makes any difference one way or the other. Ideology is ideology.
  21. It's just such an odd/senseless crime, and can only be politically motivated.
  22. Convenient, yes. I'm one of those who's convinced that it suits many employees much more than it suits most employers.
  23. We'll see tomorrow, but I think Heeley will be a wee bit more left than the markets will like. Milliband is odd as well. I thought he may get home sec.
  24. Kyle was 1/100 this morning to be Chancellor. Odds like that suggested it was done and leaked. Not sure what's happened, of anything. I said I was expecting a few curveballs, but Healey is Chancellor is proper curvy. It'll be interesting to see how the markets react in the morning.
  25. Yep. I i don't like it. Parachuted in from a regional role, and brought in without any meaningful process. He's not had to anything about his policing, ajd doesn't have a mandate. That said, Starmer had failed, we needed something different, and hopefully he'll do something positive. Peter Kyle as chancellor though. Hmm.
