Games are not “officiated.” They are “managed” to ensure your eyeballs are there all the way to the end!

What are the zebras in Cincinnati doing

Exactly what the League tells them to. Money must have all come in on Cincy.
Jags allowed to spear all game with no calls. Only a fool would play this sport!

For whatever reason (wars, lands changing hands) the Alcase region has shitty records.

Depends on where. Some village churches not on invasion routes go back easily to the 1600s. They are being digitized and available through FamilySearch (free). Many Alsatians came to New Orleans in the mid-1800s. Ships carrying cotton to France would dock in Le Havre and offer cheap rates to immigrants on the trip back to keep from losing too much money. Once in New Orleans, the Alsatians (still German speakers) intermarried with other Germans and eventually French and Cajuns. Ensminger is just one old Alsatian name that is common in southern Louisiana.
Rich man’s war, poor man’s fight. Like it always is. By the end so few southerners wanted to keep fighting, the Confederacy was looking into enlisting slaves in exchange for their freedom. So, having gotten up a rebellion to preserve slavery, they were willing to give up slavery to preserve the rebellion!
City running the whole playbook:
1) Admit nothing
2) Deny everything
3) Make counter-allegations
Good thing City is the only club doing this. It’s not like some rich Qataris bought a club in Paris and then bribed some refs to win the UCL!

You got here because oil sheiks do not and never have given a single flying frick about the rules. I’ve been to the UAE and the whole culture there is trash.

This. True story: Deployed to Bahrain but had to go to Dubai to meet a ship. UAE requires a visa. Go to the UAE embassy in Bahrain, guy tells me my completed application is incomplete. Ask him what’s missing. He motions me to the side, asks if I’m stationed at the ASU (sailors called it Alcohol Support Unit), says he wants a fifth of Johnnie Walker Black. I come back with the “completed” application and get my visa. Because “Allah cannot see in Bahrain!”
Waiting for the Michael Oliver match-fixing allegations to come out. Because if you’ll spend that much to buy players, you’re not going to leave the refereeing to chance! “Rules for thee but not for me!”
So City knew they had been found guilty and went on a spending spree this summer because they knew the transfer ban was coming? Exactly how you would expect an innocent organization to act!
Also, imagine doing all that cheating and still losing the league to Leicester. Outfoxed!
A 60-point penalty for City and relegation would be fine by me. Anyone who has ever been to the Aloha Snackbar part of the world understands how things work down there. Rules are for suckers!
But, just a reminder, Leicester won the league during peak City cheating. :bow:

No jobs. Piyush Jindal broke the economy and it has never recovered. When you are looking up at Alabama and Mississippi…
