The Footie Thread

[PJ87]

I presume you would have been happy for West Ham to have taken Sheffield UTDs place in the championship all those years ago then?

Ironically tevez didn't score the winning goals lol

10 point bottle job Sheffield United mucked up amazing style

What I never understood is why for 1 3rd party ownership was banned in premier league but loans were fine and how man United were fine to have the same agreement the next year? (no wait that was a loan.. so its fine to loan from a 3rd party but not "buy" from a 3rd party) all very muddy

All very strange

plus this bit of the saga

The verdict also rules "the registration of Carlos Tevez could be terminated by the Premier League", but Tevez is later cleared to play in the Hammers' remaining fixtures of the 2006/07 season.

Does it matter, in the sense what level of ban seems appropriate? Had the ban been for 6 months, but it didn't run through the close season, would that sound better?

Actually yes it would - to me anyhow

 

[GB72]

Bans should be based on a number of matches not on time.

Massive for Brentford to be missing until Jan

I wonder what the odds were for that?

What ever they were I’m sure Tony lumped on it

Thats a lot of words without answer......

I do agree with the sentiment re Toney, but ifnhe was banned and found innocent PL would of had more trouble.

But he pleaded guilty rather than found guilty , yes some offences he pleaded not guilty yet the amount he pleaded to would have covered the rest of the season

They were never gonna do it in two steps.

Anyways, we've already covered, it's simply tough luck on clubs he played against.

So Ton ey is banned for 8 months starting immediately. He can start training with Brentford in September and plays from 17th January next year.
however in Rugby Union in Australia a player is banned for 96 weeks, in essence it means a 5 year ban as it only runs during the Rugby season. And his. Luv agree with the ban.Seems to be someone has got it wrong.

 

[Bdill93]

Here we go!!!

Steve Mcmanaman,WHY????

 

[IanM]

Another dull game involving an English Club....

Great stuff so far.

McMananathingie's voice is making my dog howl

Is that the rugby player who assaulted a referee?

Scousers really aren’t cut out for commentary

 

[IanM]

Some game this!

 

[ColchesterFC]

City with 80% possession and 7 shots versus none from Madrid. How long before Benzema or Vinicius put Madrid 1-0 up on a counterattack?

EDIT - and just as I post City go and score. What do I know? This is a rhetorical question and the answer can be seen from the PL predictions thread.

 

[IanM]

Long way to go in this game......

 

[clubchamp98]

Brilliant from City.
Cant see Madrid being that bad second half.
but can see City scoring more, should be four if that Haaland fella could finish.

 

[Beezerk]

Come on City
