Bloody close call.

In place of showing EuroVision, which Ireland are boycotting over Israel's participation, RTE will be broadcasting the Euro-song Fever episode of Father Ted.

Brothers

If we hadn't "spied" on them, Boro would have missed at least 10 more chances in the first half of the first leg.

Also; 1st SS Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler, [ Godwin's Law ? ], 2nd SS Das Reich, 3rd SS Totenkopf, 4th SS Wiking [ mainly Nordic, Dutch, and Belgian volunteers ] 12th SS Hitler Jugend [ many barely out of school ]. The first 3 especially notorious for war crimes, including 1st SS massacaring British prisoners during the 1940 invasion of France.

Apart from IanSums.

If snybody has ever watched Forged in Fire, I was thinking more along the lines of......

I expect rule 127 to be revised before next season.

I am sworn to secrecy. If I told you I would then be obliged to keeel you.

Not really. The issue is that the EFL regulations, unlike the Law, fail to stipulate what level of sanction applies to any particular breach of their rules. Therefore technically "all options" are available for ANY transgression: it's like a Judge telling a shoplifter that he faces a penalty ranging from 10 hours of community service all the way up to a life sentence without parole. There is an argument for following precedent, however in this case there is none; Swindon committed a serious financial breach, and Leeds admitted they were "spying" all season. We are the first to be charged under this rule so we simply have to wait to see if the club's pleas on mitigation are successful. Any noise coming from Teesside SHOULD be irrelevant.

I trust the KC chairing the panel to ignore the smoke screen and concentrate on the specific charge and only the evidence relating to that.

The EFL have only announced charges relating to the 2 rules and Middlesborough alone, not multiple clubs - unlike the Leeds case.

What's the Serbian equivalent to waking up next to a horse's head ? Gibbo better lock his doors and windows at night.

Presumably there will somewhere be a new financial rule that says Middlesborough can sue any team that beats them.

They just don't get it; the EFL, a member's club, have brought an action in terms of a potential breach of the club's rules, this is not a criminal, or even civil, Law case, so none of that waffle is relevant.

PTS ?

The second match wasJan 4th, 4-0 to Boro at the Rivershite.

What was their financial loss ?

Have you ever seen a cat "hiding" behind a single blade of grass ?

It would be tidier.

Do they not understand the process ? Inquiry ==== verdict ==== sanction. We haven't had stage 1 yet.

Which of course you cannot work out from watching publicly available full match videos of every game they play ?

How do you know they are ITK ?
