UEFA changed the manner of assessment for Annex XI after it had been published, and after accounts had been released. City threatened to take UEFA to court over FFP (which, afterall, no longer had anything to do with stopping clubs going into administration, but was there to restrict anyone new breaking into top level football with investment). UEFA backed down and went for the voluntary settlement. It was public knowledge at the time that we were threatening to take UEFA to court, and had started proceedings. There's nothing new in any of this if you were paying attention at the time.

GutBomb posted:Well they did that in a roundabout way. The league decided not to take a break for the Olympic s like they usually do. They never actually forbid the players from taking part, but leaving your club team in the lead up to the playoffs would have been an issue so nobody went. Also the Olympics is set smack in the late season push of the premier league. The world cup is in the off season for most leagues.

Pretty sure Olympics are always July-August and never interfere with league schedules in Europe. Champions League always ends after domestic leagues and there's no way Barcelona would have let Messi play in the Olympics before the CL final.

The 2020 Olympics should really be in October like the 1964 games which I guess would have interfered with leagues if football was an Olympic sport back then.

I think his “usually it is” was in reference to the next World Cup being in the middle of the premier league season.

Part 2quote:But Manchester isn't particularly fond of UEFA. For years, the team's fans, otherwise a rather quiet lot, have passionately booed their hearts out when the Champions League hymn is played. City fans feel that they and their team have been victimized by UEFA. In particular, the penalty the team was forced to pay in 2014 due to its violations of UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules was seen by fans as unfair. lol brutal

I'm not going to defend the financial poo poo, but the booing has as much to do with how poo poo UEFA have been about punishing racial abuse and other ridiculous nonsense. For instance, fans take badly to being banned from a stadium because the other side has been persistently racist, who then actually get to sneak their own fans in and receive no punishment and in fact have their stadium ban reduced subsequently.

Where the gently caress can I get this drug, it sounds incredible.quote:The Austrians had analyzed the sample and found that it contained traces of dexamethasone, a cortisone preparation that has an anti-inflammatory effect in addition to relieving pain. It also increases cognition and concentration and can have a euphoric effect.

I literally gave dexamethasone to at least 15 people today. It’s just a steroid. It will temporarily cure your sniffles and makes some people shaky and twitchy. Might drive up your blood sugar a bit too. Edit to clarify: corticosteroid, not like anabolic roids freeedr fucked around with this message at 05:29 on Nov 24, 2018 |
