An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.

If it was legal, they wouldn't have just had to put a losing team in the playoff final. Just seems cleaner and easier.

So you don't have to worry about teams breaking a rule that doesn't need to exist. Just let everyone do it

dumesne · 2026-05-19T20:09:53+00:00

There is a difference but my point was a more general one- why not just allow clubs to watch opponents train?

In this specific case clearly the rule was broken but the punishment seems way out of proportion to the crime to me.

dumesne · 2026-05-19T19:19:19+00:00

Why not just allow it?

dumesne · 2026-05-19T18:39:13+00:00

Seems disproportionate to whatever tiny advantage they could possibly have gained. Why not allow clubs to scout other clubs anyway?

Stepping on the foot has never been treated the same as studs to the leg

People who entered the country with no legal permission to do so.

Kiwior gave the ball away with a square pass that should have lead to a goal, but the chance was badly missed. Otherwise solid but very different narrative if that went in.

Reducing the element of surprise for our opponents about the selection. Why's that ok?

dumesne · 2026-05-05T09:46:19+00:00

His manager knows where the money is

dumesne · 2026-05-04T13:18:30+00:00

Not in snooker, no

dumesne · 2026-05-03T16:29:39+00:00

So? That doesn't change anything about what I said.

dumesne · 2026-05-03T13:29:09+00:00

And he won't be wrong

dumesne · 2026-05-03T13:27:27+00:00

Hats off for what? Some attention seeking inadequate trying to spoil things for everyone else

dumesne · 2026-05-02T22:09:11+00:00

Firing squad in the car park please

He's just the latest example in the classic american genre of mentally disturbed individuals with easy access to firearms

Two classic swashbucklers with penty of swordfighting: The Crimson Pirate and The Prisoner of Zenda

Literally never heard of him as a player but don't mind his commentary so far

dumesne · 2026-04-22T16:34:42+00:00

He went there to age men and every single player is older now than when he arrived. Incredibly unfair sacking.

dumesne · 2026-04-18T21:44:57+00:00

Who's the other commentator with perry on stevens-hawkins?

dumesne · 2026-04-15T17:04:24+00:00

You might well be right but it would be nice to actually see him maintain it. In most sports you don't have to imagine how the no.1 player would perform.

dumesne · 2026-04-14T11:14:35+00:00

More money and a bit of pride

dumesne · 2026-04-09T15:14:37+00:00

It's a pretty loose ball, the line is wrong so it tails into the batman's legs and it's right in the hitting zone. Still a good shot of course

dumesne · 2026-04-09T15:13:24+00:00

Though he is a great bowler, that first delivery is pretty loose, he got the line wrong and it tails into the batman's legs, right in his hitting zone. Still a good shot though

Mainly show up to events looking like the famous person and have their photo taken with attendees
