What about boners? Is that third arm?

I think the answer is quite simple. Draw a few lines around somewhere in the UK. Not in one of the knee-capping, bomby parts but in some unmissed area with a lot of leavers (the north, or suchlike). We then construct a hard border around that area and declare it independent. Anyone who wants to Brexit can **** off to that part and everyone else can get on with their lives. Democratic, fair and forward-thinking. #votebenjii

Come on then..... May or Leadsom? If you HAD to.

Coma-inducing signing right there. Burnley are grim as ****. Hope they go down.

Yeah, but auditors and accounts. Stop with this wildness.

People are talking about changing the sanction. The sanction isn't the problem. The problem is clarity over what constitutes the offence.

Can we also add people who start responses to questions with, "Look"? ****ing arrogant, rude way of speaking that isn't normal and tends to be indicative of a proper ****. I think Blair might have started it.

I'm not sure there's a "right answer" for the handball dilemma so the search should probably be for the rule that produces the most consistency in terms of decisions. However, that would probably be a strict-liability interpretation where any contact is a foul. I don't like that because people will look to engineer contact and there could be way too many soft goals as a result.

Plenty of clubs have had weird sponsorship deals. LD Sports is, allegedly, a sports development company with great big campuses and super-duper coaches. Let's say we pay them a lot of money to build us some development centres in China, for example. No idea if that's the plan and I'm not suggesting it is. My point was that the idea that financial irregularities or abuse of the community asset don't happen because there's a thing called accounts is clearly nonsense. See Portsmouth etc

You would hope so......

It would show in the accounts eventually, yeah. So what? Doesn't mean it can't happen. It's happened to other clubs in the past. If there is a complete absence of communication from the owners then of course people will speculate. The club should see that there is plenty of negative speculation and do something about it. The fact that there continues to be zero communication is itself indicative of a problem, IMO.

He hasn't got any sort of point at all. His post was the purest bilge. This is a Saints messageboard and the ownership of the club is a topic of interest. As a topic for discussion it doesn't need an accompanying manifesto to justify it. There's **** all you can do about the team selection, the manager, the referee etc... probably sensible topics for discussion on a football messageboard though. - "I hope Stephens doesn't play" - "what are you going to do about it? Eh? Eh? Wind your neck in." Smart messageboard.

Are you Mark Lawrenson?

I have no means to communicate with him. Initial questions would be: - why have you never made the slightest attempt to engage with the UK fans? - why did you buy the football club? - what are your plans for the football club? - who is in charge of football at the club? Ie. Who is Les Reed's replacement? - it was reported you needed to borrow money to complete the purchase; are you reliant on club income to repay that money? - why did Kat retain 20%? - how did the club choose LD Sports as it's sponsor? Are you concerned that their website was full of bull and infringed the IP of various news organisations? That would do for starters. The fact the club hasn't addressed any of this previously, suggests to me that there is no real communication between the owners and the people running things on a day to day basis. This is supported by the reports that the club couldn't answer the recent PL questions about the hostile investment in Lander: they simply didn't know and weren't given the information.

I'm not sure you understand what an auditor does or what the concerns are.

Don't ask questions FFS. It's all fine. Yours, Prof. Pangloss.

It's 45 minutes for misusing an apostrophe.

No, not a peep. That was my point. You're struggling a bit on here. I shall leave you alone.

Exactly.

Other sports with significantly less funding than football manage rolling subs fine, so if it’s too much for football officials to deal with then that speaks volumes as to their general competence.

Sue Cook’s pulled out!

Any thoughts on the substance of my post?

Don't be a bellend.
