To be honest... Mith Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 03:45:08 PM
I mean, on one hand, tapping up is something that has needed to be dealt with for a while, and in a stricter way than those ridiculous fines, but at the same time...it possibly sets precedent for a whole slew of complaints, and I imagine most clubs are guilty of something or other.

Plus it sort of sucks that it's over a player I've never even heard of.

It'll be interesting to see if any other European clubs ever receive a similar punishment too *coughrealcough*.




I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I've been feeling rather gentle toward Chelsea. I need to snap out of it.



I can't really see FIFA, UEFA or any of the other governing bodies having the guts to really stand up to any of the really big clubs in the game. Which is why I don't expect to see this ban last beyond the next transfer window. I could be wrong though...

And, more relevantly considering the thread, football. Legolas - 03/09/2009 05:38:20 PM 700 Views
Yes, the sky is the limit! Monkey - 03/09/2009 05:40:25 PM 669 Views

Don't be mean to Russell and Frankie Monkey - 03/09/2009 06:49:59 PM 705 Views

They got a young man to break a legally binding contract TheCrownless - 03/09/2009 05:38:21 PM 736 Views
Exactly, this is not the same as being found guilty of tapping a player up Mark - 04/09/2009 10:15:50 AM 690 Views
My thoughts Taardad Maiden - 03/09/2009 06:10:16 PM 714 Views
