Hilarious.Quickly said, know nothing about it and changed the subject
What the fuck has this got to do with this threads topic.Listen to what you are saying. It makes no sense.
The ball had been passed to City players for them to make an attempt at goal, they were stopped from taking the shot because of unlawful challenges.
It's the same, exactly the same.
You saying that because Gvardiol hadn't put the ball under his control the defender has the right to take him out?

Let's be honest they've already made a soup sandwich of everything that's happened recently.100%, it would look even worse for the league if they withdrew the charges now, a PR disaster.

No. Either the conduct was concealed deliberately in which case the limitation period is basically irrelevant, or it wasn’t concealed deliberately in which case (a) the claim is statute barred and (b) the claim fails on the merits in any event. There’s no middle ground where we get found guilty but not punished.Probably, the worst case for many of the older charges is we could be found guilty of the offence but not punished because of the time bar. But I hold that many of the older charges were there to put us in a bad light as a perennial lieing and cheating organisation.

I got in too deep and too far to pull the handbrake on the off topic slide. Won't happen again.What the fuck has this got to do with this threads topic.
Talking of handbrakes, my Nissan is jumping slightly when I engage the electronic handbrake. Anyone know anything about this?

Couldn't have been circumcised. Rumour has it that he went for a circumcision and the surgeon said it was fucking impossible as there is no end to this prick.Circumcised or entire?
Are you saying only people who have played the game know what a foul is? I'm sure the individual members of the refereeing team will have played football at some point in their lives. Or is there a certain level of football you need to have played at in order to determine that this incident shouldn't have been a penalty?It was absolutely not a penalty in any way. They ran into each other after Gvardiol had attempted a pot shot from a cross. It was a ludicrously poor decision and smacked of a refereeing team that has never played the game.
99% of fans - 99% of whom have never been paid to play football - don't think it was a penalty. No specialist football knowledge is needed for that opinion. The referee yesterday simply made a bad call. His playing experience has nothing to do with it.
Edit. Not sure why this is in the charges thread.

Uefa didn’t really give a shit about how the case went as long as they got an “Arab” to pay up. Apologies if that offends. Driven by Munich and Tebas, leaking like a sieve and appointing dodgy characters to execute us on sight. They got their money and managed to stop a super league for now.Does anyone think the PL will still go ahead with the case if the rumours are true just to save some face and to give the impression the PL tried to charge City with the 115 allegations, rather than just giving up and trying to agree a deal with City in private? UEFA tried again and lost at CAS. There are numerous instances of this happening with the Police, the CPS, newspapers and other organisations that knew they were wrong and wouldn’t win the case, but they still went ahead with the case and lost.
The premier is our bread and butter. Anything really damaging that comes out of this would be a fatal wound to both club and league for which both would struggle to recover. It’s madness, the league should have taken the easy way out after CAS. Quick statement saying they respect the independent decisions and support their champions. Oh no that was not allowed, spurs and the rest constantly in their ears to move the goalposts out of jealously and probably some racism.
IMO the line will be that they had a duty to investigate the claims of false accounting. City did not provide the information requested and it went to a tribunal were if we had seen this information, the matter would have been resolved. A fine for not giving them a loaded gun, probably some shit about some of the accounting practices and that will be that. Everyone will know it’s a load of shit and on we go.
It’s the price of success. As city fans we have been absolutely spoiled on the pitch but because we won and took their revenue we had to be punished. Some will say it’s not worth it. This is real life greed and whether the other teams like it or not, city are here to stay as a team that competes for honours.
It’s a bloody expensive smack in the mouth.
They would but admitting they got it wrong before if even got to the hearing would be the last straw.Let's be honest they've already made a soup sandwich of everything that's happened recently.
