Pamplemousse

The headline that he is 'fourth choice' is obviously nonsense. If Peretz did get injured, he'd be brought straight back in to the first team without any hesitation.

Of course one possible option is that the FA thought any sanction imposed was too lenient and they're the ones to have appealed it.

What exactly are they waiting for? It's not like we're contesting the charges, just fucking announce the sanction and everyone can move on.

I wish he'd done the same with us

Any sort of total ban would be ludicrous but 18 months and the FA loses all credibility as a serious organisation

Presumably they've been reading MB's posts on here

There will be flood warnings on Teeside if we do go for Edwards

Asked AI to come up with a film poster based on the fan reaction to a lengthy ban and this is what it came up with

When can we expect an official announcement, do you know?

Harry Redknapp. He has unfinished business here

I have it on good authority that we're going to fucking smash the skates

I wouldn't want to be the first opposition team to play us at St Mary's if Tonda does get a further ban

Looking through previous FA disciplinary announcements (our friend Neil Harris features at least twice recently...) they announce the decisions at random times. 9am, 1pm, as late as 6pm. Who knows when we'll hear

What punishment would the club likely accept and not appeal? A one month ban? A touchline/stadium ban?

Just reading up about this Canada drone scandal which often gets dragged up. From what I can gather, during the investigation it was discovered that the incident during the Olympics wasn't a one off and that it had been happening over a much longer period. So that's where the 12 month ban for the manager came in. If it just these three incidents we're involved then maybe a total ban won't be applied. Ignoring the noise and hyperbole, it seems to me from most normal, neutral fans that the appropriate sanction is a touchline ban and a large fine. We'll see what happens today.
