It is ****, but IMO the basis isn't just to help the best, it's cos they have the most money, and most organisations have a big interest in making sure those with the most money stick around, cos there will nearly be certain of a kickback from that, indirect most of the time, but sometimes direct.

It's was done purely so 2034 had to be held in Asia, and there was only one interested party by pure coincidence No hang on, that would make it possibly corrupt, and you can't possibly look at FIFA and think they would be capable of that

Depends what was on the NDA, its very unlikely that it says you can't mention that you even might be interested to anyone, its more going to be, you can't reveal player salary, and we won't reveal the offer amount. The NDA's are going to be very specific, otherwise they'd be pointless.

Yea, this. Not all leaks are a betrayal of trust, quite a lot of the time there's an understanding that it can benefit to test things out in the open without it being official.

Who? Wetherspoon? Kane? Both getting on and picked up injuries. I don't see a single player we have that gets anywhere near a premiership squad and very few who start for a top 4 championship team.

They were really good today, good to see abit of energy back in that corner.

I think even if McCann isn't 100% he'll start if Kane is unavailable. Granted I wasn't there last week but any other time mebude has played centrally he's badly struggled, it's not his game at all.

I engage with posts on there time to time as I believe engagement is better than banishment, but there's some horrific stuff posted on these topics which make that a hard endeavour.

I'm generally agreed that politics shouldn't come into football (I know there's debate about if it's political but politics plays a massive role in how LBGTQ people are treated) but we do very clearly have a homophobic problem inside football, it's not an external issue being forced on football, it's an internal one that needs fixed too.

Yesterday, today and nearly certainly tomorrow, every single day that LBGTQ people are less likely to participate in or watch football, and those that are involved are not comfortable showing their sexuality. Are things getting better? Absolutely but @Grant and @SanguinePar have shown more than enough examples without even scratching the surface, we MUST do better.

It does depend, but I think it's far easier to say nothing is aloud than open up a can of worms and religious debate over exactly where they draw the line. Never meant to suggest you agreed with morsy. From my reading of the article they won't punish Guehi, at this moment they've just reminded him of the rule.

When you're trying to market yourself worldwide then I can see why you'd want to avoid religious messaging. And if you do allow religious messaging, your potentially getting into dangerous territory given the BS that people try hide behind religion on(like the homophobic morsy)

Thank ****, should never be allowed in the cup

Aye, I think it was nearly all PT clubs who had fallen foul of the rules apart from st mirren who had committed a relatively low level offence in comparison in they listed 2 u21s but one was a keeper and they didn't realise it was meant to be 2 outfielders. I think our appeal being successful was fair but it did cause the rules to become very clear with no wriggle room, which has meant some lesser offences than ours have caused clubs to be kicked straight out since. One of a few rules we've directly caused to change, the other being us the last Scottish cup semi final to go to replay. Scrapped that summer

I think it's easier to trust your manager, your colleagues and even yourself when you're delivering successful outcomes. when things are repeatedly not working, questions are inevitably asked , and once doubt creeps in your never 100% committed , as you suggest that doesn't mean that they've stopped working hard, indeed they might even be working harder trying to cover for mistakes, but the belief has gone
