Well said sir !
I would happily support a bill put before the disciplinary committee of the Forum that would pass into the constitution that any member mentioning Spygate be summarily ejected from said Forum for 6 weeks, suspended for 6 months. |

In Spanish pedo phiole translates as" fart bottle"'
Completely irrelevant?..perhaps, but one Local pub quiz night, that kind of knowledge might be the difference between winning and looking like a loser .

Meanwhile Mr Jelly dines out on regurgitated gossip, rumour, innuendo and unsubstantiated accusations, none of which as far as I can recall, ended in indictments let alone guilty verdicts.
I learnt one thing though...a paedophile's favourite sport is hang gliding...who knew...next time I am out with the grandchildren and a hang glider drifts over the hill I will usher them into the car and phuq off home a bit sharpish. |

A pretty sensible analysis.
Eckert was accused of breaching the new law i.e. cheating and he promptly admitted his guilt...so far, so bad.
The early admission and the fact that this is a trial run of the punishment level applicable to said breach will probably count in his favour but..... |

Lost a good'un there.
Very funny lady, great broadcaster and tireless worker for charity including Childline, support for loneliness among the elderly and of course was prominent, as others have already said, in the assisted dying debate.
Also responsible for one of the most iconic comedy moments of the 70's.....The talking dog that said " sausages " on That's Life...priceless...RIP. |

Surely it's inconceivable that the decision and the appeal can be conducted in secret.
Would be a first for me.
Eckert's problem is that the EFL handed down the decision to eject us from the play-offs. Eckert was not punished at that time. It's worth remembering that our understandable anger should be tempered by the fact that we still had a game to play to reach the promised land.
The EFL is a direct subsidiary of the FA and it the EFL will always defer to them on individual punishments.
My long winded point is that I don't think the FA will take the club's punishment in mitigation when dealing with Eckert. He violated whatever law it is and the kangaroo court will have their day in the sun. |

Neither were Ball. Kendall or Harvey for that matter.
Funnily enough I was in Highbury that day but not at Highbury on account that I lived in a flat close by. Along with a couple of Saints mates and 400 neanderthal Gooners we gathered in the local battle cruiser to suffer the pain and anguish.
42 years have surely numbed that....or maybe not  |

I can safely say that I could not be classified as an Everton fan.
However I did have the distinct pleasure of being at a couple of their games when Ball, Kendall and Harvey made up their midfield. They were some force, maybe amongst the best combos in the last 60 years. For that alone I give Everton a pass mark. |

Being as dim as a Toc H lamp (one for the oldies), I hadn't clocked that although a ban initially only excludes Eckert from all activities in England, the FA has the right to ask FIFA to upgrade it to a worldwide ban.
It's safe to assume the FA will do this and it's even safer to assume FIFA will comply in order to set precedent and given they are short of mates these days, stroking the FA will seem a good idea.
All that plonks Eckert totally "in der Scheisse"
Sorry if everyone knew this already. |

We used to study the state of every game to estimate the approximate time they would be batting and time our arrival at the ground accordingly.
You would see pretty much every shot in the coaching manual played (and plenty that weren't).
Richards all cover drives, on drives and deft touches all around the wicket and invariably along the carpet.
Greenidge was all pulls, hooks and cuts. invariably airborne, and guaranteed to intimidate bowlers. Off the field he seemed a softly spoken gentle chap.
For any youngster learning the batting trade, those guys were one-stop shopping. |

Being of a certain vintage, that post transmitted me instantly back to 1961 .
I can name that team today (no google)..Marshall, Gray, Horton, Livingstone, Sainsbury, Ingleby Mac, Harrison, Cottam, Shack, White and Burden.
Mervyn Burden was the thinking man's Number 11 with a career batting average well south of 3.0.
In those days the touring team of the year played the Counties before and in between Tests.
One gloomy evening in 1963 I recall Mervyn came out to bat with Hants something like 135 for 9. Having noticed that the legendary Wes Hall was bowling Merv had put an extra pair of incontinence pads on just to be safe.
He took usual guard 12 inches outside leg stump and awaited his fate. Wes steamed in , all teeth and gold chains and unleashed a howitzer that turned all 3 stumps into firewood.
The whole ground then heard Merv utter " thanks Wes, I really appreciate that" |

I've been otherwise engaged the last 6 weeks so maybe you all know the answer anyway but..
What's the Jander story ?..at the start of the window he was one of our jewels and we were resigned to losing him to a big boy for big bucks.
During window we hear nothing..nada..zip..
At the end of window he seems to still be here drawing his pay.
Unless he is long term injured when is he going to lace up his boots and get to work. |

The EFL reports to the FA.
I have to assume the findings of the EFL will be assessed by the FA and although it looks like the FA are making the big call on any punishment, they will only have the evidence already gathered to work with. |

Thought there was a problem with the sound on my TV..but no..it was the plaintive sound of French players choking.
French full back will be remembered for the rest of his life as the man who conceded a pen by kicking a nearby Spaniard up the arse.
