When it is argued, in various football disputes, that points deductions must be imposed even for inadvertent breaches, in order to vindicate compliant clubs, one has to wonder whether that reflects a genuine commitment to consistent strict enforcement in all cases, or is simply a position adopted for the purposes of a particular case.
Consistency is very important in sport - the lack of it can undermine public confidence in the integrity of the whole game.
I do not comment on any one individual case, I just hope that those involved in the decision making processes can see the merit in treating each case according to its particular circumstances rather than being inflexible in some, but very flexible in others.
That, I am sure, would help restore the confidence in sports arbitration we all wish for.

From #Freiday 2nd January we are mixing up the #Alkoholfreiday#competition!!!
And we are finishing this #competition on #Freiday 12th December, so you have only 2 chances left to #win in 2025!!
Repost and watch this space at 5pm today for the winner!!
@wt_analysis Excellent summary, on another day Wood buries that header and we probably go on to get the winner with the momentum of the game. Hutchinson excellent when he came on, I hope Bakwa finds a way to be more direct against the full back in future!
@AnalyticsForest The crazy thing for me is the release clause... What triggered it? Champions league? If so, why didn't anyone else get involved for £60m?!
