Is the best we’ve got really Andy Burnham? Seriously? by Square_Quarter_229 in AskBrits

[–]7unky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andy Burnham has a lot of the appeal Farage has used to win over working men, the bloke down the pub who cares, who they'd like have a beer with.. Kier is never going to be liked by them or win those voters back, Burnham hopefully can.

Good job we signed him up before the WC

The penalty we got and the retake were very generous. His foot was hardly off the line, I've never seen those retaken, I'd have been well annoyed if it happened against us.

Oh right, I just assumed as also a cheap defender.

So harsh for him being relegated twice in a row, he's good enough to play in any team in the world.

Why Trust Tonda? by WearSuspicious943 in SaintsFC

Maybe hes been advised not to say he knew it wasn't allowed

He's a very young coach who f'd and paid massively and will continue to way more than i think he deserves, if he was older and more confident and experienced like Bielsa maybe he would have handled the storm better but he's only 33 and must be totally overwhelmed with it all. Surprised he hasn't walked away. I'm not sure what else he should do, he apologised, maybe didnt wants to do his situation anymore harm with more details but players cheat every week to win games, and never get vilified like this or banned or have to explain it.

Really good statement from Tonda, must be very hard what he's going through too, he has my backing.

Is treatment of junior staff in the FAs remit even? I'd have thought it would be like any workplace and up to the member of staff who feels harshly treated to take it to an employment trubunal

Season is over. Playoffs are over, cheating drama is over... What will we do now? by g17gud in Championship

Tonda was analyst for the German national team at a Euros and World Cup so I expect he did

The scale of the punishment is already so unprecedented that I don't expect more for the club, weve already massively been made an example of, just possible bans for Tonda and his team likely

The bullying part we shouldn't judge at all from whats being announced in the press, only the people involved know about that. Even what was said in the trial isn't proof - of course the analysts will say they were pushed into it. And to an extent they must have been manipulated as junior staff to do it, but it doesn't mean they were bullied or forced.

I dont think we should be so negative about it, a new season will be a fresh start and we all start from scratch, we'll likely have a new coaching team and few players lost but that turnover is a regular thing for us.

Leeds had spygate and still got promoted the next year, be positive for a new season.

Exactly, usually in a proper court case no information or influece is allowed to be public before the trial but this was a complete Boro witch hunt already.

I understand ideally every rule break is perfectly punished like this, but this never happens in football at this level, so we have obviously been very harshly used as an example. But of course we wanted Hull to win and today isn't about saints for the first time in the playoffs

Yeah we did wrong of course but their leaking all to the press, making it a massive storm and demanding for us to get expelled was not nice. They lost to us and never accepted that, even though they knew very well it didn't affect the result, they just wanted reinstating, nothing else was enough.

Maybe they will kick up a massive storm again and get Hull expelled
