    lly agree and hope it doesn’t piss Bielsa off. He won’t like dishonesty insinuation as he went
    To great lengths to point out he’s not

    Who'd of thought, cameras at our training sessions posting footage on social media. Still our plan was not to play Bamford, to confuse any spies.

    Can’t help but think people are getting slightly carried away with Bielsa sending somebody to watch an opponents training session. It’s been happening for years. While I accept it’s morally wrong, it’s hardly a criminal offence.

    But it’s not morally wrong ristac. If clubs have a problem, make their training grounds secure to prevent spying

    I don't think it is either mate, you will get a far better idea of how a team is set up and what their strengths and weakness is watching a live game than training ground, hence why I am annoyed at Rads commenting on the situation

    What’s the difference in watching you tube clips of players, stuff posted on Twitter from smartphones etc. Are they gonna ban all those. Can you fly a drone over a training pitch, is WJ allowed go to training sessions anymore, where do they draw the line?

    New players joining too or on loan, are they going to have to sign confidentiallity papers notto disclose how their old team trained.

    Just wondering if all the bollocks spouted throughout the day gave our players an extra, lets put it up the ****ers attitude. If so thanks Sky.

    It’s completely unpoliceable. Provided no private property is broken into, trespassed whatever, just make it open. If clubs want to keep their methods secret... find secure private land. Bielsa holds seminars, names his team... usually... you know what you’re getting from us. No need to spy.

    I am just a little worried Bielsa could resign.

    He’s that sort of person.

    Club should have made a statement clear on policy going forwards but recognising practice differs in other countries, and avoided direct criticism / suggestion of dishonesty.

    I’m worried.

    Still wondering why the police were involved, tresspass isn't a criminal offence. It's a civil matter, it only becomes criminal if you damage ot enter property on that land.

    Wire cutters mentioned?

    If true that is dodgy.

    I’m not joking I think if Bielsa loses face he will resign.

    Wire cutters invented by over enthusiastic reporter trying to gain exposure to the masses. Another non event
