The most revealing line in Southampton’s statement is:-
‘We cannot accept a sanction which bears no proportion to the offence… Southampton has been denied the opportunity to compete in a game worth more than £200 million.’
But that completely undermines their own argument.
If the match is worth £200 million and meant everything to the club, then the incentive to gain any unfair advantage was enormous.
And who exactly were they trying to deny that opportunity to?
Middlesbrough.
You cannot simultaneously argue:
1. The stakes were colossal
2. The offence was minor
3. The punishment should be small
The higher the stakes, the greater the importance of protecting sporting integrity.
@FIM_live having a real problem making contact with FIM tv live regarding a problem with my 2026 super enduro subscription. Contact email [email protected] on app doesn’t work and [email protected] aren’t responding. Very frustrating.
@EE@bt_uk I didn’t ask to be transferred over and so far I have been unable to log on to check my (I bet it’s increased bill) on either BT or EE websites or apps because they say the account doesn’t exist. Very frustrating maybe time to change by my own choice
@bookingcom £320 was taken from my credit card without authorization after reporting on the app (quite an effort in itself) after providing the requested details I have since had 4 further emails asking to contact by phone, which I can’t because I don’t have a booking reference
This has been an embarrassment from start to finish. Was never wanted by local residents & the best feature of the eye sore was the view from the top. https://t.co/ETSlSEKEBs
@TeesAirport Feeling very blue after @klm cancelled 2 flights from Amsterdam to teesside, leaving me stuck until Tuesday morning flight. Teesside is a great lairport, severely let down by @KLM who don’t seem to be able to cope with ice which surprise, surprise occurs in the winter months.
Eventually got through and the girl was very helpful, however this doesn’t detract from the fact that of the 8 times I’ve flown with klm in the last 2 years, 3 flights have been cancelled…..
@KLM_UK very disappointed with your customer services, been waiting to contact to your helpline for over 30 minutes, perhaps you need more staff or maybe just don’t cancel flights?
@andie1105 Perhaps they should give people the option to opt out the NHS and instead receive a rebate in their NI contributions. In fact this should already be happening where people, myself included can’t get an NHS dentist.
