| Conspiracy theory 16:13 - Oct 5 with 895 views | MattFinish | I'm not one for conspiracy theories personally but bearing in mind the people in the FA disciplinary and governance sectors with Pompey links, could it be they are delaying the decision until after Sunday to unsettle us? Just a thought |  | | |  |

| Conspiracy theory on 22:21 - Oct 5 with 559 views | MattFinish | I don't see how they can Kingsland The Bielsa/Leeds incident was considered under exactly the same FA rule as Tonda's case is being considered. I think legally the FA would find it difficult to hit Tonda with anything more than a caution/suspended touchline ban, particularly as they'd be punishing Saints when they let Leeds off scot free - don't forget the £200k fine for Leeds was imposed by the EFL not the FA |  | |  |

As in Labour also you mean then yes? Conspiracy theory. An interesting subject. A made up saying created by the CIA or FBI so i recall, after the JFK shooting, to discredit and mock anyone coming up with alternative theories. So, personally speaking, more likely true than government, ruling body statement on events. |  | |  |

Absolutely Jo, if you are not a "conspiracy theorist" (or realist as I prefer) in 2026, when so many have come true and we can see how rife corruption is in high places, then there really is no hope for you! |  |

I'm thinking along the suspended sentence but what I'm saying is that the penalty, whatever it may be, will be called prior to the game to cause maximum disruption although as Southamptonfan has said, we will (should) appeal to delay as much as possible as Citey are doing |  |

I think 22, you have fallen into the trap of assigning cock up over conspiracy to the ruling classes and those in authority. I don't think they are fools at all, mostly they are strategic, ref football- the punishment for smaller clubs is immediate and brutal, for bigger clubs the rules are different.
