Frankie 8,562 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 That's just you making the connection again. Stick to the facts. No, they are not blaming UEFA in anything I've seen, so I wouldn't use unnecessarily emotive language like that. They are not even simply saying that the ban came from UEFA - they got the Assembly to do that. OK, what was the song that got us punished for discriminatory chanting by UEFA? The club and its former chairman publicly named UEFA as the organisation who laid down the directives so of course they are blaming them for the ban. The statement also appeared on the club website so I'm not sure how you claim they got the Assembly to do this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've got no problem with your comfort, only the basis for it. See my previous post. Your previous post doesn't answer the question though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,562 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Is this the longest thread Gersnet has had? Can't remember a longer one since I joined in January anyway. I think there will have been longer ones. Just not with MF and I boring everyone with our interpretation of an issue... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A UEFA statement, an Assembly statement or a club statement? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only boring because I keep having to repeat the same thing over and over. Surely one of these times the penny will drop. I had only 43 posts when this thread started! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 OK, what was the song that got us punished for discriminatory chanting by UEFA?I've no idea - the only songs the club mentioned are those in the Wee Blue Book and I'm sure we didn't get punished for them. UEFA never linked any punishment directly withany particular song. Only the Assembly linked UEFA punishments to TBB but it's hardly the Assembly's role to mete out punishments. The club and its former chairman publicly named UEFA as the organisation who laid down the directives so of course they are blaming them for the ban. The statement also appeared on the club website so I'm not sure how you claim they got the Assembly to do this.The club apparently named UEFA directives in connection with TBB but never in written statements. We have no actual evidence of this. UEFA did issue directives but none that specifically banned TBB. The only statement that named TBB being banned was the Assembly website. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineflyer 0 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 We're stubbornly refusing to see the same meaning in identical words. Rather than go round and round when there is nothing new to say, how about locking this thread? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
