Merging Cultures

We were so good in the first half.

Why? Why go defensive, when we can't defend. Attack the goal.

What the actual. 

What are we doing?

FFS 

Ridiculous. 

It's because their manager is wearing Pearson's trainers.

Gulp.

Getting very nervous now.

He has to go. 

But who comes in? And the team won't be any different.

What does he actually know? Not what can he speculate on

I was going to say this. He doesn't.

Not nice to talk about Jesus like that wow 😮 

On his birthday and everything

Lads I don't think we're going to win the league this season.

What a goal!!

Great goal

Do we practice shooting?

One year in Milan is probably better than a year in Rotterdam.

Shane Flynn isn't with us (Waterford) any more.

Some of your predictions were laughable. 

A squeaky bum win is about what I expected.

We'd have lost it they hadn't got a red.

Should have been a goal.

FS lads

Sure, but IF Maguire is correct, that won't matter because, according to him, the PL cannot impose a points deduction while we're in the Championship. So they'd have to retrospectively move us down from 18th to 19th (assuming we finish in 18th) or, as @teblin says, wait until we're back in the PL...

From the PL handbook

Appendix 1:

Profitability and Sustainability Rules - Standard Directions

Introduction

1.These Standard Directions have been agreed by Clubs to ensure that any complaint regarding a breach of the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (Rules E.50 to E.55) (a “PSR Complaint”) can be resolved, including any appeal to an Appeal Board, as expeditiously as possible and, absent exceptional circumstances, prior to the 1 June following the submission of the relevant Club’s Annual Accounts (the “Backstop Date”).

2. The League and Clubs recognise and agree that, given the possibility of the imposition of a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction on any Club found to be in breach of Rules E.50 to E.55 and the desirability (so as to protect the interests of other Clubs) of any such points deduction taking effect in the Season in which the relevant Club’s Annual Accounts are submitted, it is important that clarity is reached regarding any such sanction prior to the subsequent Annual General Meeting. This provides certainty for the League, its Member Clubs and other stakeholders as to the membership of the League in the subsequent Season.

Obviously there are clauses on how they can vary it etc. but it looks like we could argue to have it this year. However, I think the law regarding competitions etc will state that you can't change the rules of the competition after the effect. That's different to ex past facto law imo.

The law was changed after the event has happened ( Championship accounts )

 

Not sure how PL can charge us

Was going to say this.

It would be relatively easy to argue that we didn't sign up to the rules at the time, and so they can't be applied retrospectively, and the that the rules should be applied going forward.

Will have to put the ladies team out in the championship next season once we sell everyone in the men’s squads to make up for it 

Only after giving them all new contracts to match the men's salaries.

This is shite.

Why can't Soumare do that all the time?

Did we play tonight?

I mean, I watched a game, I saw some people running about, but I assumed they were just out for some exercise.

No one seemed to need to get above 50% exertion, on either side.

We played well, then brought on Winks, who gave the ball away constantly.

Ridiculous handball and offside goal.

I do think there were quite a few positives though.

Joke of an offside.
