Comment | Now Spygate Has Calmed Down Where Do Tonda Eckert And Southampton Stand
at 11:09:10
Just joined the merry thong and first ever post. I am very much in the keep Tonda team. The punishment received by the club and the rhetoric prior to, during and after the hearing was not warranted for the so called offence (it was not a crime) committed. Are those calling for Tonda to go also going to voice similar opinions if one of our players gets aways with a simulated offence on the pitch such as "diving" for a penalty or making out that they have been assaulted by an opponent that results in a red card, of course they are not, but the issues are similar, they all try to improve the chances of winning, however on the pitch it only results in a yellow card unless you do it another time in the match, but again it's only a second yellow, and not a straight red. Matches used to won and lost (or drawn) on the pitch, now they can also be won by having a very good PR team to go over the top in regards to a minor offence along with a person who is prepared to threaten the authority that governs it all with further litigation should the hearing result go their way. The club may have things taken out of their hands over Tonda and others in the club, but as far as I can see, and perhaps others may be able to enlighten me, the EFL is the only place that has this 72 hour rule in place and even then there is no tariff within that ruling should it be breached. Questions have been raised in many quarters over the persons on the original hearing board and the links, all be it tentative, to Middlesborough FC. This area needs to be escalated as much as possible by the club, as someone on Sky a few days back said, they must have had to look hard to find someone from all the lawyers out there that had some form of link, no matter how historical or pertinent to Middlesborough FC to sit on that hearing, time to hire a very good PR team ourselves and go after this issue to put doubt out there as to offence warranting the penalties given. Also other threads have thrown up the data protection issues when using payment data to obtain personal details in relation to the analyst sent to Middlesborough FC training ground. That also needs to be investigated by the payment card company to see if there are any data protection principle offences for any individuals involved. What other potential data protection issues may have also occurred during the production of so called evidence prior to the hearing, such as naming the "spy" and releasing the image into the public domain before the hearing. As Telsmart has eluded, "We need to come out fighting now". A number of Saints fans have highlighted issues that don't seem to add up, like you have too Nick. Let us see if our Teams Lawyers and the like can do it. I've looked at my calendar and it is clear that yesterday I was a Saints Supporter, Today I am a Saints Supporter, and tomorrow onwards I will be a Saints Supporter. |
