Whats wrong with football?

[horlock07]

They specialise in building underground shopping centres,

which apparently also double as air-raid shelters. - fucking hell, do they know something we don't

[suttonred]

You mean they're fucking hobbits?

That old tip must be around there somewhere.

Right on it, that's what i meant.

[horlock07]

There is still cash to be made from football....

What's happened to Hylton at Guisley? Started off brilliantly - not even playing now.

[red sheldon]

A bloke at work is a Guiseley fan and said that he's been injured and he thinks he's come back to us for treatment.  He's hoping that if he gets fit they might extend his loan after January

[Costanza]

Offer Town a small fee and I dare say the Hylton would be available permanently.

This, again, still. Cover-ups perpetuate abuse and shield abusers, hope those involved in the coverups (including the many at the FA who swept things under the carpet) will also be punished severely. Sadly, I doubt it.

Literally just said. If it is true and proven they should get the maximum penalty possible. Worse than not paying the tax man ffs

Chelsea have admitted they paid Gary Johnson £50k and insisted on a non-disclosure clause. That's a true and proven cover-up, approved at board level. Wouldn't hold your breath for any sign of the book being thrown at Chelsea. They'll probably nail Crewe to the wall though (and deservedly so) but Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle etc will just be asked to review their procedures.

That makes sense really.  Imposing penalties on Chelsea, Man City etc. will deprive millions of armchair fans of their weekly football fix which is totally unfair, whereas Crewe, let's face it, are a small club whose demise wouldn't really impact anyone much.

[Sir Cliff Pipehard]

We were demoted by 2 leagues for illegal payments to players.
Chelsea have paid someone off who was sexually abused, to cover up for a nonce.
What Chelsea have done is a lot worse. This guy probably went on to ruin more young lives and Chelsea allowed this to happen.
They should be demoted at the very least.

[Reg Smeeton]

 I said I while ago I'm desperately hoping that our name isn't mentioned in this, as whilst Chelsea, Newcastle, Man City etc will get off, we will, as we know to our cost, be the sacrificial lamb.

[suttonred]

Anyone who thinks they will be sanctioned is deluded. Justice if you have money is a myth. Look at that arsehole Green still swanning about after looting 1/2 billion.

Unfortunately, you're absolutely right .

[THE FLASH]

The only thing you can't beat with money is Cancer. When that piece of shit comes calling and it really wants you, you're fucked. No matter how much you money you have.

Justice!? Getting it and avoiding it costs and the more money you have, the better the chance of success!
