Boro not pulling any punches, either. "Given the reasons for these sanctions, for Chelsea to seek to invoke sporting "integrity" as reason for the game being played behind closed doors is ironic in the extreme."
It's identical thinking to their ridiculous transfer and loan policy, which essentially rests on a principle of 'if we're losing out, we want to make sure no-one else gains'.
Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been fined £900 and given three points on his licence after being found guilty of a speeding charge at Chester Magistrates’ Court: https://theathletic.com/news/domini...ding-guilty-to-speeding-offence/ovlE6lJaAOWg/ Insert Everton 3 points joke here.
It would be nice if fines were leveled in proportion to the ability to pay. I have my suspicions that £900 is not a great deal to a PL footballer. Decades ago I got stopped and done for no MoT (I was actually on the way to get one - really). In evidence of my circumstances I showed that I had £250 to my name. I was fined £100.
They do this in some of the Scandinavian countries. Some bloke in Finland got fined $103,000 for speeding. Our system makes being poor illegal. It doesn't punish proportionately.
PR wise that's the worst move they've ever made and you know it's best when the CST put out a statement immediately asking them to withdraw it.
In a perverse way it's the exact thing Stalin would be proud of. Scorched-earth policy at it's finest. Thankfully that should be the last we see of Buck/Granovskaia.
Does the Pope **** in the woods ? Thought that was bears, Popes take their ease in the Vatican , think of the mess it would make of his Papal garments ****ting in the undergrowth
Chelsea's board request is an insight into the fantasy position they have lived in with their fascist owner since he muscled into the PL.
A fantasy that was fed, aided and abetted every step of the way by authorities, pundits and journalists who couldn't see beyond the shiny glimmer of gold.
