Besides, when have I moaned about Marinakis? When have I or anyone else on here suggested he is not a superb owner who we are lucky to have? Please don’t suggest if I make the slightest criticism I am anti greek, its not bloody FFTV here.
I don’t care how wonderful he is but spitting at a match official however incompetent is unacceptable. If the owner is doing that it reflects badly on the rest of the club and ultimately leads to lack of discipline on the pitch too. Being passionate does not excuse that behaviour.
I do however think the punishment is aligned to recent history and the infamous tweet. If you suspect anyone other than EM being responsible for that too you are fooling yourself. Whether he should have got a heavier punishment because of that is open to debate but I don’t doubt the FA are out to make an example of him. For that reason we need to be squeaky clean not descending to their level.
I do however agree with TT above, its galling that they can review Jackson's punch and say nothing to see yet we get this thrown at us.
At no point have I said your anti Greek so let's get that right please. What i am saying is that you need a patience of a saint not to blow a fuse by the crap that has been thrown at us from day 1 of us being back in this league. I agree that spitting is the lowest form of anything and there's no excuse for it. Yes I agree with TT as well that there is a two tier discipline and because we have an owner who has passion (perhaps too passionate but not in my eyes) we'll always be a not for a better word a victim from the authorities. As for that tweet I'm not condoning it but if the subject was true and whoever it was was a Luton fan then he shouldn't of been the VAR i think. If the authorities won't entertain a chat with us but will with other teams then there is a serious problem so we do need to keep calling it out.
