Football is a game, it's not the most important thing in life. The law courts or the FL/FA boardroom is not a place where promotion and relegation should be decided.
FFS I just wish this whole affair would end - it's so boring.
Rule breakers should be punished (somehow) but for a Swindon Town fan to wish points being deducted or relegation on another team (through a court or FA decision) is just double standards in my opinion. Unless of course you agreed with our demotion back in 1990.
I think you're totally missing the point here Jan.
Our relegation is EXACTLY WHY I'm fucking livid about this.
As I've said before, we got relegated 2 divisions orignally for fiddling our stated wages for a few players in order to limit their transfer tribunal fees. By doing that we managed to to pick up Calderwood, Foley and a couple of other lower league cloggers for a few quid cheaper then we would have had to pay otherwise (and save a few quid on tax).
These bastards run a fiddle that allows them to sign two world cup stars without paying a transfer fee, play those players without fully owning their contracts, lies to the FA and the Premier League about it repeatedly; when they're caught they lie again and say they've cancelled the agreement with Joorabchian, so they can carry on playing Tevez; and they don't get deducted a single point!
How are you not outraged by the double standards of that!
No I wasn't happy at the time we were relegated. It felt like we as fans werre suffering for something we had no control over. BUT IT HAPPENED! The club did wrong, it was punished. I have no problem with that as long as the same standards are applied to everyone else.
It's the fact that they aren't and that big clubs like Spurs and West Ham get away with murder thay pisses me right off.
How can you not get that?
