[fmttmadmin]

Chelsea talking about "Sporting Integrity"

 

[MolteniArcore]

They are a disgusting club. For the sake of sporting integrity they should withdraw from the competition.

How they can ask or expect all the thousands of Boro fans to stay away because they are owned by Putin's mate is beyond me.

I can't stop laughing at them this last few weeks

 

[InglebyUTB]

They've used money stolen from Russia to gain a huge advantage for 20 years and they're now crying about sporting integrity?

P*** off

 

[TeaCider]

That is absolutely hilarious.

 

[LaPennaBianca]

I am beyond furious at this.

Sporting integrity?? Looks like they were paying attention in daddy Vlad's disinformation classes.

 

[Diego]

Hahaha get ****ed

Where is the sporting integrity in punishing our club simply for drawing Chelski in the cup.

[Billy69_uk]

as ridiculous as this sounds, can you be 100% certain the FA wont bend to Chelsea's request?

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

I hope they get laughed at but I can just see the FA giving in.

 

[Chappy112]

I am beyond furious at this.

Sporting integrity?? Looks like they were paying attention in daddy Vlad's disinformation classes.

I wouldn't be angry unless the FA actually made us play behind closed doors. As it stands I find it absolutely hilarious.

 

[Jedi boro]

They really are lower than a hedgehogs scrotum aren’t they

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

I am absolutely flabbergasted by this. Sporting integrity???

Some dodgy oligarch lincked to a murderous dictator buying you league titles and PL trophies is fine though is it?

If i was Tuchel this would be the final straw, I'd be out of there. Let's see if he's got similar morals to Eddie Howe or whether he's got a bit of backbone.

 

[Right footed Left winger]

Does that mean all the away matches they have to play, will be behind closed doors?

 

[kuepper]

I don't see any logic in that even if I was a Chelsea fan. If they fa allowed that fans should blockade the entrance to the Riverside to stop their bus getting to the ground

 

[JHS1]

Gibson does have integrity and would refuse to play it if behind closed doors.
