The reason you’ve said it so many times is because you don’t like the answer, so you keep ignoring it. If the rule was nonsensical then there’d be no reason whatsoever to break it, but we did. We broke it three times, apparently by accident because the scouts arrived too late on all three occasions, completely by coincidence.

I don't think it's going to have any affect on proceedings at all, neither is that clickbait Harris interview. It's pure fantasy that the EFL and FA are doing whatever 'Gibbo' tells the press he wants to happen, we are being judged entirely on our own actions and not what's in the media.

No. He needs to quite simply put his hands up, admit that he f**ked up and hope for some leniency for being honest. If he starts spinning some yarn about how he told an analyst to go and spy on his opponents within the allowable period but they, "accidentally turned up a couple of days late for some unknown reason and accidentally spied during the forbidden period, which just happens to be most beneficial to me as a manager but I didn’t know about the 72 hour rule honestly, but yeah this happened by accident on three separate occasions against Ipswich, Oxford and Boro," then he’s going to start looking a bit silly.

Seems to indicate a rather different general opinion to the people on here who insist that, "literally every fan I know who supports other clubs thinks we’ve had a ridiculously over the top punishment."

And yet we did it on Thursday. If it's a bonkers rule, there would be no need to break it but we did, so it's pretty obvious it exists for a reason. It's not. He's being a kn*b but that's all.

I wouldn’t bother. This point has already been explained ad nauseam but a lot of people don’t seem to want to believe it.

Concorde did not revolutionise anything. It was a spectacular piece of engineering and my favourite aircraft, however the much less glamourous Airbus A300 was far more 'revolutionary' in terms of moving the industry forward.

Well yes, one’s an alleged criminal offence, the other is a breach of a sporting regulation. An F1 driver would get a five second time penalty for cutting a chicane but nothing for hare coursing, that’s not how it works.

An absolute genius apparently, halfway between London and Norwich.

Well there was the offside decision in last weeks Manchester derby they somehow got wrong but the ball hits the back of Le Fee’s hand/forearm, the laws of the game are being applied correctly.

If this is what your dong thinks, I'd suggest using your brain to form opinions instead, from now on.

If he does I'm starting a GoFundMe to pay for his transfer to Liverpool.

Sigh... we're going to contrive to not win this fixture again aren't we. The Clinton Baptiste in me is predicting Saints go 1-0 up in an edgy encounter, then we go full Tuchel vs. Argentina. Pompey are stretched chasing a goal and both their CBs are on a yellow and visibly tired. So instead of sending on Mubama and Dobbin to run at them, we bring on Stephens and Bragg for Larin and Scienza and switch to a back five, eventually clinging on for a 1-1 draw after they score from their ninth consecutive corner.

The attacking player handled it before the defending player. I'm not giving that one either TBH.

It’s not a question of trust and ambition, some of the ideas people have are just fantasy. We’ve already got a squad that has no excuses not to at least be in the hunt for automatic promotion, even if we sign nobody in January. We’ve been battering everyone at home, there’s fact that we can’t buy a win on the road is purely management and psychology. We’ve just signed two strikers who started every week last season and scored about 16 goals between them. Yesterday they played about eight minutes combined in a game we needed a goal in from first to last whistle. There’s no point stockpiling strikers if our manager hasn’t got a clue what to do with them.
