Maybe it's the lighting in that photo but wow he looks old, especially for only 49. I'm sure Stoke will revitalize him though.

FIFA has not "endorsed turbans globally." It has no stated policy on turbans and won't look into it until the hijab experiment is finished (probably 2014). It does have a policy stating that political and religious messages are not allowed. I guess 100 or so Sikhs are more important to the CSA than tens of thousands of Quebec kids. But then, Sikhs speak English and Quebec kids speak French. You realize this just means we won't be participating in Canadian championships. We'll just have to find someone else to play against...someone better at soccer than Canada. Shouldn't be that difficult. Even Canadians can't be bothered playing for Canada anyway.

So, just because it is a religious garment, it should be allowed? We all know Muslims like to push their ways onto others (Isn't that a reason they don't like America? Ironic) but this isn't saying they cannot participate because they still can! The ruling isn't that Muslims cannot participate in Soccer anymore, they just won't be given any privileges when it comes to attire.

It is time for Quebec Soccer to apply for nation status within FIFA. The presadent is there.

Quebec sends it's own teams to the Francophone games and Conferences and now finds the arbitrary, unjust and unlawful ruling from the dictatorial English (Canadian)Soccer Association
to be to much to take.

The right to self determination is fundamental in a democratic society, this has to be done.

Vive Le Quebec libre

It's a bit silly to be honest no Sikh plays in a dastar but likely plays in a ramaal or patka. I see those are banned too though so what exactly do you want me to do with my hair, Canada? Twats.

Brigitte Frot, the director-general of the provincial association, was asked what she would tell a five-year-old boy in a turban who shows up to register to play soccer with his friends.

She replied: “They can play in their backyard. But not with official referees, not in the official rules of soccer. They have no choice.”

some of the names linked with us on here are a joke!

Gareth Barry, no thanks, terrible. Connor Wickham, rubbish, James Milner, donkey. Gary Hooper, Jordan Rhodes, heaven help us.

Do some people just pull a name out of thin air? Have any of you seen some of these duffers play??

quote:

Barry is another Kovac, absolutely terrible player. Milner is better than Barry, but hes huff & puff with minimal quality. Runs up and down a lot in a Faubert style. Hes no better than Faubert just cos hes played for England, its just that England have worse players than France

quote:

that's one way of looking at it

Another way is considering Onouha, Johnson, Bridge. They've all played first team games for City in their rich era. And they're tinpot too. I'd say they're worse or on a par with RVT, Jarvis & Noble

Milner. I'd like to know how many 90mins hes completed. They bring him on when a goal up to do a load of running around to close the oppo down. I'm not dismissing that role within a team, but please don't try and convince me hes this flying creative right-winger that's gonna create 200 goals I reckon more clubs in our bracket would rather sign Kevin Nolan than James Milner

now that Mancini and his negativity has gone, Milner wont get a look in

PS to all those saying about the games hes played for City and he must be great because of that, I remember our own club selecting Harewood & Mullins ahead of Tevez & Mascherano.

quote:

Maybe I don't know much about football, maybe I do and you don't. I dismiss players but what I see not by reading stats that can be bent anyway you wish to use them. I see a trier, a 100% man which is very admirable, but quality wise a poor player. Just my opinion

quote:

fair enough then, lets pick a similar style player. Mo Diame. I reckon more clubs in our bracket would rather sign Diame than Milner.

Going by your argument that Milner & Nolan cant be compared as they are a different style of player, then you cant compare Milner who, in your words, is all about workrate, to Vaz Te who is a striker converted to a winger
