PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Depends on the force.

Centrifugal force pushes a motion force outwards. Like a kids roundabout. If it spins fast enough and you let go and the force overcame the surface tension of your footwear, you would be ejected from the roundabout.

Centripetal force pulls a motion force inwards. Like in the example above. The centrifugal force is the one that wants to eject you from the roundabout. The centripetal force is the friction of your footwear keeping you on the roundabout.

whatever centri-force the uncooked egg encounters,
i have a friend who cooks all their eggs at once,
the argument being that while you're at it you may as well do the lot.

my concern is how many days a boiled egg safely lasts before becoming dangerously inedible.

soft boiled probably 2 days, but up to 7 days for hard boiled.

i'd assume you can't dip a soldier if it's not freshly boiled
 
The longer it goes on the closer we get to the ruling being released.
But somehow if feels further away than ever...

And we acquire unusual taste preferences too... my had a stroke about 5 years ago, and it reset his taste in his brain. Things like tea, lager, strong cheese, curry -all things he loved, suddenly tasted awful to hm.

Don’t tell me that mate! I’ve just had a mild stroke, first ever (apparently I was prolific cos I got 2,at once, fortunately both mild), got my first physio visit - my main question to her was in a couple of months could I be likely to go out and have 2 pints and a curry - she said no reason why not, but imagine if after all that time my chicken tikka dopiaza tasked like whole meal bread and fucking lettuce!!
 
Eventually -
Judge - "City, you have been found guilty and the amount of the fine will reflect the year that the crime was originally committed - I hereby fine you 2 pounds, two shillings and sixpence"

He had a big stroke, mate. Wiped out his memory of taste so that when he had curry, it tasted TOO HOT and TOO MUCH flavour. Remember as a kid when you first tasted beer? URRGGHH. And a year later you want it all the time haha.

Because City's IT security (used to at least) be a comedy show. They didn't want any more press attention on it than necessary

There's this thing in security called "ethical disclosure". Basically, if you as a security nerd find a way into the system of a big company then you report it to them and they'll give you a "bounty". Some of these are very generous and in the tens of thousands for ultra severe ones. Others not so much.

About 15ish years ago, I "ethically disclosed" to City that I could watch webcams of some of their internal meetings. Literally there were webcams in a bunch of meeting rooms that you could just sit and watch if you fancied it, without credentials, because they weren't properly locked down. They didn't even reply to my email let alone say cheers let alone say "oh you've saved us a bunch of money there, here's few quid". They fixed it within a day or two though. So if I bothered to go on a fishing expedition and find a bunch of other shit then what's my incentive to disclose if I wasn't a City fan? This is the stuff that leads to the email situation.

Do you know this "hack" that people talk about with Liverpool? Do you know what it was? When some staff left City, City didn't bother to cancel their access to our scouting apps. So they booted up their laptop one day, went to a webpage that hosts these types of things and were automatically logged in as City employees. Then probably pissed themselves laughing as they fed information to their new bosses.

The fact that our email system was hacked is possibly the least surprising thing that has ever happened in the history of the world. Our website is hackable. You can access City+ without subscription if you're technically inclined and know how to do a bit of JavaScript editing. Our ticketing system was hackable for a long time through credential spoofing. Football as an industry is laughably insecure compared to other industries. I absolutely guarantee you right now that there are people out there who are reading the emails of every major CEO in football. It's not a serious industry when it comes to infosec. Especially outside the PL, their security is done by some guy's kid who they think knows "a lot about those computers" because they play Roblox or something.

If a properly motivated hacking group ever decided to target ransomware towards the football industry then everyone would be absolutely fucked or they'd get away with millions.

A great post. City's digital security has been a shit show for years. To make matters worse some of the staff have been incompetent. You could also include the tasteless email blunder which cost Garry Cooke his career at City. It was a schoolboy error as was the LFC data breach. I don't know who oversees the Comms Operation at City these days but I hope it has been improved.

Wish you well mate, hope you are back to chugging a few pints with a nice curry in no time.

I've mentioned this loads of times. This case would never have been brought without leaked emails. IT Security was the responsbility of whoever was Head. Their cock up is the costliest and mnost significant cock up in the club's history. I don't care how it happened.

Even the language used in the Rui Pinto cache (eg joking about the death of a senior popular UEFA official) was totally unprofessional for a senior director to use in an email. There is no doubt that a lot of our issues have been "self inflicted." We have made it easier for our enemies to target us.

Was it leaked emails? I thought it was hacking? And not only our club but across sport. I am not sure we are to blame, and I wonder why only City have been targetted from those emails?

The whole thing smells so strange, what with other clubs getting free PSR passes, selling hotels, all sorts of deals, whilst we are mired in this minor shit from decades ago, and no other sports enterprises being hit by tyhose hacked emails. Its all very media-political or something. Hot air is what it feels like.
