Am pretty sure that Football Ventures must have discussed this with the EFL and been given an indication as to the likely outcome before they took the club over. No matter.... its a great result for us... and we have suffered enough over the last few years The EFL didn't decide the penalty. Their i...

It would be funny if we went on a right tear and pipped them to the play offs on goal difference, including an emphatic win against them in the re-arranged game. :oyea: I know, I know, calm down... I mean, we've won more games in the last five than anyone below 7th, so... Seriously, though. This is...

Well that's exactly the problem there - TYhe fact that people consider them as thick for putting themselves in dangerous postions, like it's their fault.. It's not a woman's fault if she meets a man for a drink who's a sex offender. He shouldn't be a sex offender, so it shouldn't be an issue meetin...

Am delighted! The perspective that we have suffered enough under the previous regime and deserve leniency wasn't one I was expecting the EFL to take, even though it makes perfect sense to me. Sharon and the legal team appear to have played a blinder here. Hoorah! :pissed: The EFL haven’t made the d...

It's subject to appeal. Our celebrations might well be premature.

Surely only we have the right to appeal and not other clubs?

The EFL have the right to appeal.

They can appeal the panel they themselves appointed? How hilarious is that? Cheer up FFS.

Well, now we CAN stay up. Never expected no more points. Changes things hugely. Two less wins needed at least.

I think the league will be wanting it finalised beyond any doubt before announcing it. Imagine how much shit they get if say its a 12 point deduction reduced to 6 or 9 after appeal weeks later. They cannot afford that. So I assume the panel have recommended a penalty the league have looked at it, i...

I don't agree. For a 36 year old he gets in the channels well - see his goal against Rochdale for example - and away at Bristol Rovers. The problem when Dodoo puts the ball across is often DM is the only person in the box - I think its harsh to criticise him for that - and when he's the only one in...

Absolute farce. Absolutely no excuses for it taking this long. Pathetic organisation.

Are we going to arbitration? Perhaps we've appealed and they don't want to announce it till arbitration panel held.

We had Murphy, they didn't. At 36, he's still one of the best strikers in this league. We didn't have a difference maker last season, so it's nice to have one this time. In tight 0-0s, he's exactly the kind of striker you need. Agreed. Quite a few near me seem to moan about big Daryl. But I think h...

Have we any indication yet as to when we're likely to hear something?

Iles says Wednesday. I suspect the club have known since the weekend - perhaps given a chance to appeal before official announcement is made.

Why suddenly almost guilty excuses for us winning? We've lost a shed-full of games in the past from the green being rubbed the wrong way. Were we supposed to let them win? Bolton 1m M.K Dons 0 is the only statistic that will matter or remembered. Get in.... :twisted: I don't feel guilty - my broad ...

I'm not saying they were much better - but certainly you're not looking at much for them to have won that game or taken a point. We were not by any means dominant. I must have got confused when you said "we were mostly second best... I pretty much thought we robbed them." :D For a lot of the game t...

^^ you're a right negative Nelly, Insane! A draw was probably the fairest result but no proper chances? Robbed them? Give over! MurphyL had 2 good first half efforts, MurphyD was only denied by a brilliant fingertip save and then missed his penalty. Agree re O'Grady though. I've been pleasantly sur...

Not sure on that. If you're citing the safeguarding guidelines - they are FA guidelines not rules and apply to the premiership U21s as far as I know..... Ah, then I've been misinformed. Even SJM's labouring under the same misapprehension as I. What I do think they'll throw the book as us for, btw, ...
