| HOW ABOUT THIS !!!!!!! 20:55 - May 21 with 17455 views | MattFinish | I’ve just started doing a bit of digging and have just found this. I found the Independent Disciplinary Commission transcript from our hearing. They were heard before His Honour Philip Sycamore, Lydia Banerjee and David Winnie. They were the independent and impartial panel. Only ……… when I did a bit more digging I found this: Lydia Banerjee is a sports and employment law barrister at Littleton Chambers in London. Her direct links to Middlesbrough stem from her professional legal practice, where she has advised and represented Middlesbrough F.C. in various sports-related and regulatory matters. Impartial my @rse !!! |  | | |  |

| HOW ABOUT THIS !!!!!!! on 23:27 - May 21 by DorsetIan | Thank you. Jesus! I thought it was bad enough they had an ex- Boro player on the panel. If this is true (and I’m just being ultra cautious here) it’s unbelievable. Surely she’d have to declare her interest and surely Saints would object. Something either stinks to high heaven or doesn’t add up. |
that's my point though. Assuming that Saints would have asked who was in this panel beforehand, just a quick research on who they were and voila you can find the info. Can't have a panel that has links to one of the parties involved, it's like having a ref referee a match with his team involved. Non-starter...I think you are clutching |  | |  |

What’s your point. That it can’t be true? |  |

That Saints would have known who was in this independent committee panel beforehand. And if these people had links to Boro then they would have rejected having these people as it would have been a conflict of interest. If they didn't then that would have been a school boy error (although we are good at those as we now know!) and if they only just realised now then couldn't even appeal as we already had our chance [Post edited 21 May 23:50]

There probably wasn't even time to delve into the Middlesbrough connections of the members of the Independent Commission. Cases like this usually take weeks or even months before a verdict is given.

So you’re saying that either It’s not true Or it’s true and a schoolboy error I agree that it could be one of these. But there is a duty on judges to declare their interests, so there is another possibility here that interests were not declared, Saints did not know and took on good faith that panel members would obviously have no Boro connections. if it is true, then sure there is a question of why Saints did not pick this up, or if they did why nothing was done, but the bigger question is why two people with Boro links were on the ‘indepedent’ panel in the first place? The only version that doesn’t raise questions is that the apparent info about these two panel members is not correct. |  |

| HOW ABOUT THIS !!!!!!! on 23:58 - May 21 with 1918 views | saintpaz | where is the link for where it states these people were part of the Independent Disciplinary Commission of the 1st hearing? I can't find that info anywhere online. Also, who was in the appeal hearing? That would have been different people to the first, of course. Did they also have any links to Boro?

of course they would want to know who they are talking in front of. That would have been the basic first thing you would ask. |  | |  |

Because it was rushed through so fast that there was not time to investigate the Middlesbrough connections of the Independent Commission. Usually several weeks notice would be given to the defence. [Post edited 22 May 0:04]

The names are on the top of the written judgment. It’s irrelevant who the appeal judges were. The three we’re talking about made the decision. |  |

No wonder it was rushed through, apart from the need to get Middlesbrough into the final. [Post edited 22 May 7:44]

| HOW ABOUT THIS !!!!!!! on 08:47 - May 22 with 1485 views | jopreston | Has anyone else seen the article by someone connected to the PL about Burnley and Saints and wanting to ban us from promotion. Why? Because they believe both clubs and yo-yo clubs deliberately to make money. They believe both clubs make no genuine effort to sign PL players and stay up and just pocket the extra monies each time. Perhaps this is in some way linked to that. The perfect way for the PL to keep us out. [Post edited 22 May 8:47]
