The on topic thread

[undefined]

I'll give you one of the most spine tingling 3 minutes of commentary as soon as I can dismiss my students and I can find the German (not eastern european) version of the video.

All you really need to know if you dont speak German is:

noch drei minuten - still 3 minutes
tor = goal
doch = yes

I've almost got tears in my eyes thinking about it

I'd have Tony V up there as the best defensively in his possie in the league and top 3 overall but he's not good enough offensively for this list imo.

Not sure about that. Aurier, Trippier, Walker-Peters is a tough top 3 to crack.

Leckies 4th in 5 league games for Hertha already this year.

Our best player last season missed out so hardly surprising they did also, should they have is another question entirely.

ukraine and croatian papers say that shakhtar captain and fm legend darijo srna has tested positive to a doping test after they beat napoli

Did he play in the game? Does that mean Napoli will get the three points?

 

[Cruyff14]

Magma highly recommend you get on Iniesta's book. Great read. He is so incredibly humble. Didn't realise how long he has been around either.

 

[Zidane98]

No. That only applies if multiple players are found guilty.

 

[jod23]

No. That only applies if multiple players are found guilty.

That's a shit rule.

 

[RPCB]

No. That only applies if multiple players are found guilty.

Sounds like the shittest ever troll attempt. [emoji85]

 

[Sozabarus]

That's a shit rule.

If we had it your way then we would have been (wrongly) kicked out of the Europa League after beating United and then the Dortmund game would never of happened. Shame on you.

Sakho was cleared though...

 

[SM]

Sakho was cleared though...

After a while. How long do you reckon they should wait before throwing a team out?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Sakho was cleared though...

You'd have already been kicked out and the only result after the fact would have been an apology from UEFA.

 

[Sozabarus]

Sakho was cleared though...

Yeah that's what the brackets were for.

i have slacked off massively with the reading lately. i'll get to it one day.

You've read Pep's right? Still got that, Zlatan's, Ballague's on Ronaldo and Sir Alex's left to read before I'm through this current crop.

 

[Zidane98]

That's a shit rule.

Not really. You can't hold an entire club accountable for one players actions.

 

[jod23]

Not really. You can't hold an entire club accountable for one players actions.

Technically you're still cheating though. I mean what is say Sakho was on the juice and scores a towering header to give us the win. Maybe the juice makes him less tired so he can far higher in the 83rd minute to nod one home. He gets the whole team over the line. So the whole club prospers from his cheating.

Sure the club doesnt know about it but the club should still be penalised whether it's one player or all of them.

That's just my opinion though.

You didn't answer my question? Should the club be removed from the comp immediately? In which case even though Sakho ended up being found innocent you can't retrospectively restore them to the comp.

There are severe penalties if the club are involved in anyway. Not sure penalizing clubs is a feasible solution - that will lead to clubs trying to cover their ass and possibly sacking players to wipe their hands of the situation. Better off for the players to be penalised individually by the drug authorities and/or their club.

That's a tough one. Perhaps let the team continue whilst the player is investigated. Then if say Liverpool win the whole competition and Sakho is later cleared, all good. If he is found guilty then award the trophy to the team that lost in the final.

That's still shit for whoever Liverpool beat to get to the final though, cos they will feel jipped. So yeah, it's a tough one.

Yeah would be a bit silly to do that I would think for the reason you pointed out.

Yep tough one I guess. Glad im not in charge of working out any of those rules.
