SAD SCUMMER CHEATING SLIMEY GREASY HAIRED LOOK IN YOUR BINOCULARS AGAIN AT AIDY MORRIS BECAUSE YOURE NOT GOING TO THE PLAYOFF FINAL OR PREM ANYMORE CUNT BASTARD
AND A,
SHIT (cheating) FOOTBALL TEAMMMM
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.
