Good on you for raising the question OI. Does seem an odd coupling if there are moves to close Discord down but still for now have it as the only way members can ask questions at an AGM.

George does seem to manage the technology so he needs to be involved in decisions but it is the DTB's responsibility to make sure people can raise issues at the AGM.

What authority does George have ? He seems to have come a long way since just being a ballboy. Is it just that he knows people from being a volunteer and has wormed his way into the inner sanctum ? I am very sceptical about his involvement behind the scenes at the club. Can anyone just volunteer and become someone with importance behind the scenes just because you make yourself available for anything ? Does he have to qualify in some way, or not ? Maybe it's a case of being in the know or who he knows.

Well my point that only allowing online questions during the AGM via Discord disenfranchises the vast majority of members has been referred to George so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I always find banning a player for offences he committed at another club peculiar because it is his current club that get punished. Firstly, I presume we have to continue paying his salary (although as he is not available for work because of his own actions whilst at a former employer, effectively frustrating his current employment) there is a strong argument we should not have to (not that I think we would, even though we are broke). Secondly, the current club have to make do without the player too. At least Foyo can still train with us for the rest of his ban, unlike the first part. Previously, players banned for betting couldn't even do that, which elongated the punishment for the current club. Make the fine bigger but not the ban.

Bit harsh from the FA that.

Jan 26th for Foyo (extra 2 moths)

What shits the FA are. DO is that correct he can play after Xmas day?

CM - So Foyo can play on Boxing Day!

What a bunch of tossers the FA are

Yep 2 more months ,no more sutton unt[Link]

Just seen Foyo ban extended because FA appealed. As someone pointed out, wasn’t it the FA who investigated it in the first place. Still that’s all the ills of football solved - obviously having sky bet logos all over the place doesn’t give any mixed messages or anything.

Tumbleweed blowing through

OtD - that game was the high point of our relegation season. Iirc, I think we did the double over Watford and Sheffield Wednesday did the double over us, and all 3 of us went down. :-(

CW at 9.43 - I was already aware of the rugby draw. Anyway, I thought this was a football forum. 🤔😉🤣

Let’s opening we get a home draw in the next round of the EFL Trophy even though it’s regionalised we could get away to Plymouth, Bristol Rovers or Walsall

Trigger - unless you're referring to your previous post and are accusing Alan and Pads (obviously not), or the comment is unrelated to the moral ("What sort of fan owned club shuts down the fans’ forum?") then you really need to clarify who you are accusing.

DO-they just squeezed into the 2nd tier by beating Japan a couple of weeks ago with a last minute penalty

1145 draw sat for next round

Have Wales qualified for the Rugby Union World Cup? Wouldn't they have had to have won more than two of their last 22 matches?

Hash - and if I’m correct, they scored in shirt number order, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11?

Well done Rooooooot 👏🏏💯

Rugby League World Cup should just be Australia on that basis.

Cort, Earle, Hartson, Euell and then that Gayle goal was a beaut
