Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
What was he booked for? Unsporting behaviour? That's all I could assume it was, and my dad was going off his head at the referee claiming Veratti had done nothing wrong :lol:

On passback's.

No trickery may be used to get around the terms of the amendment to Law 12. A player may pass the ball to his own goalkeeper using his head, chest, knee, etc.; however, if, in the opinion of the referee, the player uses a deliberate trick -- such as flicking the ball to his head with his foot and heading it to the goalkeeper or kneeling and deliberately pushing the ball to the goalkeeper with his head or knee -- he must be cautioned for ungentlemanly conduct. It makes no difference whether or not the goalkeeper touches the ball with his hands; the offense is committed by the player who is seeking to circumvent both the Spirit and Letter of the Law.
Fishing? If so, does this count as a bite?

Sad news about Thomas Buffel's wife dying of cancer.

RIP and prayers for him and his kids.

Can't believe Buffel is still playing, thought he was a lot older than he is.

The Maracanã is now without electricity as those who run the stadium have not paid the electricity bills since October.

CELTIC could hold future winter training camps in Morocco after a Parkhead delegation visited the African nation.

And they have agreed to play a friendly against Moroccan side Hassania Agadir to mark their 70th anniversary.

The Scottish champions spent this year’s Premiership break in the United Arab Emirates before returning to equal Jock Stein’s side’s record set 50 years ago by going unbeaten domestically for 26 games.

But they could spend future breaks in the Moroccan city of Agadir.

A delegation from Celtic have spent this week in the city at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and are close to reaching an agreement to set up a warm-weather training base there.

Moroccan Government officials and the Agadir Council of Tourish want Celtic to commit to using their facilities for future training camps and are expected to announce an agreement this week.

Hassania Agadir president Habib Sidinou said: “The Celtic delegation visited our stadium and our facilities and were very impressed.

“This is the beginning of a great friendship between the two clubs.

“As part of their visit, Celtic have agreed to play match here to mark our 70th anniversary. The date will be confirmed later.”

Bayern Munich used Agadir as a training base two years ago and several other European clubs have visited too.

Now Celtic could set up their own winter training camp in North Africa too.

The Maracanã is now without electricity as those who run the stadium have not paid the electricity bills since October.
The mayor who organized the bid fr the right to run the stadium is currently in prison for corruption. The consortium that "won" the bid is headed by Odebrecht who were ball-deep in the Petrobras scandal and have recently been found to have paid off the Peruvian govt for contracts. They are the biggest construction/engineering company in Brazil.

Worse than having no light they have not had any security there for months. Offices have been ransacked and a copper bust of Mario Filho was stolen. a judge has ordered the consortium to restore the security. The consortium are complaining that the IOC didnt hand back the stadium in the same condition as they received it.

The friendly between Brazil and Colombia was played at the Engenhao stadium because of this. Flamengo and Fluminense are looking to play their matches elsewhere this year. its a typical Brazil-sized clustereff.

Brede Hangeland told a Danish newspaper about facing Emmanuel Adebayor (Fulham vs Spurs) at some time doing the match, Adebayor approached him while the game was in progress telling him that he could wait to the match was finish as he was starving and if Hangeland could recommend a restaurant nearby

Later when Adebayor played with Hangeland at Crystal Palace, he (Adebayor) spend the time in the weight room sitting on the floor eating muffins and drinking coffee while his team mates were working out

More Sutton and one that will get debated to death no doubt.
It's quite interesting.

Only a couple of Celtic current crop would get into Martin O'Neill's 2001 treble-winning team - Sutton
Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton believes Brendan Rodgers' charges still have a lot to do to emulate O'Neill's Hoops heroes.

Distribution of more than €150m benefits clubs from 54 national associations and 100 leagues

In accordance with the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding between ECA and UEFA, a total of €150m from the UEFA EURO 2016 revenues was made available to clubs for their significant contribution to the success of the UEFA EURO 2016 and national team football in general.

In total, 641 European clubs from 54 national associations received a share of the benefits. This represents a further increase in beneficiaries (+11.5%) compared to the distribution relating to the UEFA EURO 2012 for which 575 clubs received payments.

With €150m available, €50m was set aside for clubs which released players for the EURO qualifiers during the 2014/15 and 2015/16 season, while the remaining €100m was shared among clubs which released players for the final tournament. A leftover from the UEFA EURO 2012 (€744'937) was added to the amount for the qualification phase.

In accordance with the detailed distribution mechanism agreed between ECA and UEFA, clubs received an amount per player released for each qualifying match, and a fixed amount per player for each day the player was present at the final tournament in France. Details of the distribution mechanism can be accessed here: http://www.ecaeurope.com/PageFiles/8...20Benefits.pdf

The top 10 clubs entitled to benefit from solidarity payments from UEFA EURO 2016 are:

Juventus € 3'484'875.38
Liverpool FC € 3'394'511.33
Tottenham Hotspur FC € 3'066'138.48
Manchester United FC € 2'997'731.85
FC Bayern München € 2'898'339.94
Real Madrid CF € 2'524'835.57
Arsenal FC € 2'463'222.34
FC Barcelona € 2'352'693.90
AS Roma € 2'124'904.29
Southampton FC € 2'094'099.34

For the full list of clubs and the total amount by each club, click here: http://www.ecaeurope.com/PageFiles/8...of%20Clubs.pdf

Commenting on the solidarity payments, ECA Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, said:

"Clubs are investing substantial resources in the development of players, who contribute to the sporting and financial success of national team football. Therefore, it is important and fair to recognise and reward the clubs for the release of their players. ECA is pleased that a serious agreement was found with UEFA, which benefits so many clubs from across Europe."

For UEFA EURO 2020, the agreed amount to be distributed among the clubs is set at 8% of the gross revenues of the event with a minimum guarantee of €200m.

Scotland:

Aberdeen FC € 412'639.75
Celtic FC € 449'280.73
Dundee FC € 12'364.75
Dundee United FC € 20'882.69
Hamilton Academical FC € 199'051.39
Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC € 132'018.62
Kilmarnock FC € 338'152.79
Motherwell FC € 38'358.71
Rangers FC € 8'353.08
Ross County € 30'429.06
Saint Johnstone FC € 107'490.26

That's a nice little pick-up for us. Significant cash for a few other Scottish teams too, thankfully very little for one in particular though :lol:

Thompson at Left back? Think both Tierney and Izzy could have played LB in O'Neill's team. I don't think it's as close as Sutton makes out about Douglas and Gordon. Can't disagree with the rest.
