[Mellin]

Agreed. Nothing story. Thought the same with Leeds and Derby.

[lovejoy]

Second half should be tasty.
Agree that we should want Boro to get promotion: our record there is awesome.

Awesome Park

You may think it's bunk, but I'm not sure if the authorities will.

[PeterWithesShin]

There's a rule against doing it so zero sympathy for anyone stupid enough to be caught doing it.

You may think it's bunk, but I'm not sure if the authorities will.

What's the written rule that has been defiled?

[PeterWithesShin]

EFL Regulation 3.4, which requires clubs to act towards each other with the utmost good faith; and

EFL Regulation 127, which prohibits any club from observing, or attempting to observe, another club's training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match between the two clubs.

Didn’t know that Soton had changed their “favoured” end!

[Skipper_The_Eyechild]

Cheers PWS.

Used to be Ayresome

Thanks. Unnecessary regulations no wonder Bielsa shook his head in disbelief.

[PeterWithesShin]

127 was brought in because of Leeds.

[lovejoy]

Is a player rolling on the floor feigning injury trying to buy a penalty “acting in the upmost good faith”?

[olaftab]

127 was brought in because of Leeds.

Again totally unnecessary. As Bielsa said "what's the problem?"

[PeterWithesShin]

Doesn't matter what Bielsa thinks. The rule exists. Saints knew it and chose to break it anyway. My sympathy remains at zero.

[olaftab]

No one wants sympathy, just common sense. By the way when my party Reform is in charge we will scrap all this unnecessary  red  tape...so there.
