By the letter of FIFA's poor laws we have done nothing wrong, whether we are morally correct is another matter. You have to feel for clubs who spend time and resources developing talent only for situations like this to occur.

missed this one.
I agree that morally it may be wrong to do this, however it actually not caused by FIFA and rather is caused by the employment laws in each country. We can offer them contracts in the UK at 16 yet in most of Europe they are unable to and as such we can "poach" players whereas the reverse is not possible.

Thinking about the Chelsea punishment. Im actually wondering if they took past action into account as well, as there was the whole Mikel saga where Chelsea ended up having to pay compensation due to breached contracts etc.

Well that is not a surprise, considering that paperwork had been lodged to exempt him due to medication that he was required to take (but it was sent incomplete and a test was done in the meantime)

Just a quick read says that if he hadnt taken the medication there could have been sever (or lethal) complications if he hadnt taken the medication and as they had sought the exemption and if the statement as to the urgency to take the medication was correct I can not see how action can be taken against him.

Definately something to follow though as this could get interesting

I've not said he's guilty yet, however the possibilities are there. I've read hundreds of different romours about how it happened already, so let's see how it goes.

Im just saying that it not a surprise not that you said he is guilty... just saying he tested positive without anything else could lead people to jump to assuming there no reason to it.

And what I posted was what is said on the club website (more or less) anything else is merely rumour that needs to be proven, whereas the club said "this is the case and we will prove it" in regards to their comments :)

i read he was stung by a wasp, had an allergic reaction and was treated but the paper work went missing or something (or was incomplete)

interesting to see how Juve handle this, bet they hoping there wont be another Juve bashing session like the last time they were accused of cheating (and rightly they got punished :p )

well so far our keeper sent off and both keepers have been firebombed with flares.

If I was the ref I would order all the players into the tunnel and get that stand cleared of fans.

But no... all that will happen is about a 20000 euro fine for Ukraine FA for risking multiple players safety and not controlling the crowd

ah so ok to put down Rio who shouldnt be playing as he not fully fit.. yet your left back who 1) pussy foots on the ball 20yrds from own goal, 2) gives the ball away by missing a dragback as trying to be flash, 3) causes the goal to be scored due to 1) and 2) doesnt deserve to be mentioned as being a complete twat? :p

Best English left back yes. Evra and Clichy are both on par. Any one of the 3 can be better than the other depending on form.

and the best leftback in the world xD

Well when he was at arsenal he was the best attacking left back.. yes

now.. he just a crybaby that hits crosses when 50yrds from the byline :p

Had to laugh though at end of the first half, not only did he get outpaced but he landed on his face :p

Best leftback in world! When he learns the defence part the game maybe :D

Get too bored with the way chelsea play most the time but seen him enough.... his defensive side the game still lacks in too many areas. His positioning is often poor and he more often then not needs to rely on his pace to recover.

But as you think he done nothing worth mentioning on the goal I can see why you think he the best in the world :p

admittedly he's had a crap game today running the whole left flank on his own but if you think he's had defence problems for chelsea in the last few years your far from the truth

Cheryls a 2bob slag tbh

Excuse me? she's a mighty fine specimen, who clearly hasn't been around the block, because if she had the smack heads on her old estate would probably be selling there stories about her.

Plus she's a geordie so back the fuck up bitch :p

Based on what? Jordan slag Cheryl Cole could not be further from her in the scale!!!

Anyway England did what I expected which was shite all :p Darren Bent needs to be given a shot, he works his arse of for the team but he's dangerous going forward as well!!

Probably the most accurate and reasoned post in this entire thread to be honest. All 3 are top class on thier day and a match for any other left back in the world if not better when on top form.
