Ndiaye pointing to the “Our Kings Of Africa” flag, the cameraman catching it just as the South Stand erupts into “I guess that’s why they call it the blues”… pure cinema.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect 💙💎
Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’.
Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport?
If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
@fulham_mike1@footyawayday@tiahwalton7 Judging by your continuous tweeting throughout the game, you were not in the stadium. Not sure I am the thicko here.
A seriously bad culture of celebration policing in this country. Why shouldn’t we celebrate it? That’s what football is about.
If you go to the game you understand how much that meant. Don’t let anyone tell you different blues 💙
