Why has it taken four months to establish this
The rules seem to have changed many times since this incident which took place whilst the rules were embryonic. Bit harsh, despite the incompetence

Do they have a covid inspector turning up at cheapside to check if any players are not playing football but are playing darts. ?

You would  think they would be in closer proximity  playing football than playing darts.

Celtic is the worst example
Utter arrogance
But - hey - throw the book at a small L2 club (and I know it's different leagues - but hope you see my point)

There's Hollow-word's bullshit again - to camera it's all crazy, madness, slagging others off...Covid blah blah

Behind scenes he's playing darts FFS!

A joke - things can certainly only get better

Could this also be part of the reason that Ollie bottled it, having been found to be playing darts in a group, knowing that some sort of backlash would be coming because of his inability to keep his team safe.

All the time he was here and this 'ere Covid thing was going on, Ollie was insisting (on camera) that everyone was keeping their distances and complying, and yet you watch him on his first TV appearance after leaving us, on Soccer AM and there he is high fiving, and grabbing and touching other people. At one point after high fiving, reality hit home and you could clearly hear him say that he needed to wash his hands. Such lackadaisical attitude shows how blind he is to the whole situation.

It further reinforces the fact that Olly talked nothing but complete drivel


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

I wonder if their finishing is as bad in darts as in football.

I suspect it was another way of saving money somehow. That seems to lie at the root of all our ills.

One day, we may make the headlines for a positive reason, like a cup giant killing or some such. We knew those running the club were incompetent, but feck me, it's never ending.

Quoted from mimma
According to look north, the fine is five grand, plus costs of thirteen grand. On top of that we have to pay compensation to Hull Bradford and Cheltenham.  Over twenty grand! Good old football league, kicking a small team at the bottom of the league, take money off us when we have lost a large part of our income for the season.


How much is the compensation? Whats it for?

Fulham had their game against Villa postponed yesterday and wer told to play Tottenham instead (tomorrow). 48 hours notice of changed planning/tactics/training routines etc.

Are Villa gonna compensate them for that?

I agree we probably messed up because it's what we do, but honestly, why are the rules different in the EPL than they are in the EFL?
