Fined for breaking FFP, which was denied by the visiting Cherry on Nsc.

Yes, but conveniently over-looked by the media (like a smaller version of Leicester City), as the fairy tale of plucky continues. It is inexplicable to me that anyone here would question a dislike of the club by Brighton fans as we were one of the clubs directly affected by their cheating.

Whoever decided to put Tampax adverts on at HT between Swansea v Barnsley might want to rethink their marketing strategy.

You finished 20th in 2014/15, we finished as champions. How exactly did it directly effect you ?

All this hoofball really is a breath of fresh air, to the half-baked twaddle tippy tappy good football we get nowadays.

Hilarious. Any position you 'achieved' will have affected ALL the other non-cheating clubs. Were the cheats, such as yourselves, Leicester and Derby to name a few, taken from the league or penalised properly, who knows where everyone would have ended. Your club cheated end of so stop defending the indefensible.

This noise is sensational, the true noise of a football stadium really does strike a chord doesn’t it.

I’ve been so disengaged with football this season, partly because my team has been absolute dog turd, but mainly because the game is such a poor relation without fans. Listening to the crowd noise and watching as it builds the momentum of the game is just so incredibly refreshing. Brilliant.

Thanks. I thought for a minute you were directly affected as you said, clearly you may well have gained a few more points but you were hardly directly affected.

For you information the rules changed after our promotion. Ours was based over 12 months, yours 36 months, additionally the final decision was that our breach of FFP “In reaching a settlement, the EFL acknowledges that the club did not make any deliberate attempt to infringe the rules or to deceive.”

You really need to let it drop. You're the only club that keep banging on about it.

Yeah just keep banging on, personally I can't be bothered to read your post about your cheating team. Cheats.

I watched 2nd half. Novelty for 10mins but then couldnt believe thats all they did. Last half hour Barnsley just whacked it up front to try and win 50/50 balls and to defend and hold on to lead Swansea kicked it out as far as possible.
