Harry Maguire found guilty they obviously did not know who he was

Derby County have had charges relating to a breach of English Football League spending rules dismissed.
The charges related to the valuation of Pride Park when it was sold to owner Mel Morris for £80m, despite it previously being listed as worth £41m.
The sale led to a pre-tax profit of £14.6m in 2017-18, keeping Derby within a three-year cap of £39m in losses.
A charge over how the club measured the value of players - called amortisation - in their accounts was also dismissed.
The findings mean Derby will avoid a points deduction and fine, which would have come into play for 2020-21 Championship season.
Sheffield Wednesday received a 12-point deduction on 31 July for breaking spending rules.
However, an independent disciplinary tribunal did find that "the wording of the amortisation policy in Derby's financial statements could have been clearer".
Most clubs spread the transfer fee they have paid for a player over the life of his contract, with them being worth £0 at the end of their deal. For example, a player bought for £10m over a five-year contract would cost £2m a year but have no value at the end of that contract.
Derby assigned a residual value - how much they expected to receive in a transfer fee - to a player at the end of the contract, thus lowering their amortisation costs.
In a short statement, the Rams said their were "delighted with the outcome" and will fully focus on next season, which begins with a Carabao Cup tie against Barrow on 5 September.
The EFL said it would "consider the judgment in full before commenting further". Both parties have 14 days in which to appeal.
The sale of Pride Park to Morris proved controversial, with some clubs arguing that it gave Derby an unfair advantage as it allowed them to incur losses greater than £39m over three years.
Last September, Middlesbrough said they would sue the EFL over the issue having missed out on a play-off place to Derby by a single point in May 2019.

RE: Football news thread - Lord Snooty - 31-08-2020
A couple of big names from the non league past in there that seemed to have dropped dramatically. I'm sure Northwich Victoria and Shepshed Dynamo were Conference teams not so long back and now they're in the hat with Sunday pub teams. We played Northwich in the first round proper in the 80s.
Thinking about it, when I say not so long back, I'm talking about 40 years ago.
RE: Football news thread - themaclad - 31-08-2020
Technically there are two Vics teams one founded by supporters as for Shepshed, North End played them in the cup 1982 won 5-1 there were fisticuffs in the terraces during it, Shepshed agro

RE: Football news thread - Lord Snooty - 31-08-2020
The EFL Trophy starts tomorrow as well. They haven't played last season's final yet. Salford and Portsmouth are due to play each other at Wembley (who knows when?) and get the start of their defence of the trophy under way next Tuesday. But which one of them will be the defending champions is anybody's guess.
This competition has always been a bit of a maverick!
