The rules that were changed in August of that year. We were charged with the breach in March and then these new rules were implemented in August before the " independent panel " made their truly impartial verdict in November.
So the rules were changed after the initial charge, it's like being...
The initial ten points deduction imposed was the highest in the history of the Premier League, even more than clubs who went into administration.
Nobody was even thinking about a single point being deducted at all let alone ten which sent shockwaves through the game not just in this country...
We were shafted and treated disproportionately to the apparent offence and any one can see it.
Turning a blind eye is what they have done to Man City and Chelsea.
Yeah they got away with some rough tackles. There was one on the halfway line earlier the end which looked bad and I can't believe it wasn't looked at again, I can only assume it was because Barry got a shot off and we got a corner from it.
He played well whilst not quite hitting the heights of previous games. He produced one great moment which would have resulted in another assist if not for a great fingertip save from Martinez
I would have preferred a loan until January and then get him back but I guess a season long loan is better provided he plays the majority of the games.
He got better as the game went on and played a part in the second goal. There was one passage of play when he won a header from a long ball straight to O'Brien who then won a corner which gave us some respite as Brighton were building some pressure.
