biggie pusheenbia posted:Pretty much, although there are plenty of people in Bari! It's a nice stadium other than the track, shame it's never full. Were they out of the top flight for a while? I remember reading a bit about it when Ireland played there a couple of years ago. I remember the tickets for that game were really cheap and there were loads of away fans. There were companies doing trips to the game for around €120 or something.

biggie pusheenbia posted:They are right now and were for a long while before their most recent stint in Serie A. Right. I know people give out about running tracks and they do hurt atmosphere, but I've always loved those type of stadiums. I think it's down to watching loads of Serie A as a kid, they just seem classy to me.

oliwan posted:I simply don't understand why people still do blackface. My mind cannot comprehend how you can't know about the connotations. It's basically like wearing a t shirt with swastika because you like the Hindu message. Corrode posted:Aren't you Dutch? If you are, maybe you can answer a question for me. I was in Amsterdam in November and there were lots of people in blackface on the streets. They were dressed like characters from a Shakespeare play or something, so I think it was an advertisement for something going on, but is that acceptable over there? We were more than a little taken aback by it.

Shrapnig posted:He's going to go play in the ISL and take the bus to training and matches. This isn't getting the love it deserves. The whole situation is quite tricky and the cynic in me things there are a lot of people using it to their advantage. Clegg coming out against it the other day smacked of trying to curry favour coming up to an election. The sponsors are probably getting as much good publicity out of threatening to pull their deals as they are sponsoring the back of Sheffield United's shirts. I'm not defending him for a second or saying he should be let play again automatically, but I don't buy this whole "players as role models" thing. He was a professional footballer because he was good enough to be, not because of any moral character he may or may not have.

Soulex posted:What? Having almost unlimited access to players who, as a majority, are loving retarded when it comes to money, or sleeping with a 16 year old, or drinking and driving, etc. Bet the underdog by a large amount, throw the game, split the profit. Please go try and talk to some players about throwing their next game for your bet and tell me that is more or less likely than a player and/or friend approaching someone. Which is why players shouldn't be able to bet on games within the country they're playing in, as I believe it is in England. A total ban is overkill.

Mangers have to do post match interviews and I assume press conferences too. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something similar in players' registrations or something.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Cocaine is a performance enhancing drug. Technically it might be, but it's not doping, which is what these rules are in place to stop. Having said that, the players know the rules. The really poo poo thing here is extending the ban after he was allowed back and 14 months is ridiculous.

Healbot posted:It is doping and has been used in the past for doping purposes. Really? Do you have examples? I'm not being smart, I'm genuinely interested. Is it used to mask other stuff or does it have a benefit? I always thought it was closer to this: quote:Cocaine: ‘not only stupid, but pointless’ Drugwise founder Harry Shapiro suggests that cocaine would have offered no performance enhancement to athletes. “Cocaine is a stimulant – it revs you up, makes you more alert, appears to give you more energy, but it is very short-lived. “If you were just about to walk on a Premier League pitch and you snorted a line in the dressing room, after about a quarter of an hour it is going to wear off. “If a line of coke lasted four hours then there might be some advantage from a purely performance point of view, but it is so short-lived that I can’t see there would be any competitive advantage. “Not only is it stupid, it is also pointless.” https://inews.co.uk/sport/recreational-drugs-sport-doping/ Which would make it akin to really strong energy drinks.

Bogan Krkic posted:In the article it says he took it as part of a tea to prevent altitude sickness, which I guess would be performance enhancing if they were playing at one of those really high altitude south american grounds? Again, technically that may be the case, but I don't think that is what the rules are in place for.

Soulex posted:Didn't Maradona get popped for this when he scored that one goal and then freaked out like a goddamn roided out nut? I think that was some sort of banned cough syrup that masks other stuff, no? Healbot posted:The Tour de France was and is extremely big on doping, you'd have people hopped up on cocaine, heroin, strychnin and other stuff way back in the 1920's to 40's (The Pellisier brothers were really open about consuming everything under the sun to get an edge). Heroin? Really? Other than pain killing, what possible benefit could that have? I understand wanting any edge, but football is different to cycling anyway, where the doping was for endurance, no? Also, when I think of cycling and doping, it's not coke I'm thinking of. I don't think Armstrong was winning Tour de France races with a gram of coke. If you were regularly re-dosing you could maybe get an edge, but the effects would be minimal. Mickolution fucked around with this message at 21:41 on May 14, 2018 |

big crush on Chad OMG posted:Unless he got remanded to custody with no bail or they confiscated his passports (Spanish and Portuguese) as a condition of bail he’d simply post the bail and leave the country. You might even argue he could leave the country without a passport pretty easily on a private jet. I imagine he’d be able to bypass customs back in Spain or Portugal. Yeah, that's what I mean. If charged, would part of the bail agreement not usually be that you can't leave the country? Naturally, for someone like Ronaldo, it would be difficult for them to hide out as he's so recognisable, but if he were just a regular guy, I would have thought they'd want to keep him in the state/country.

Zaodai posted:If you're skipping bail, you're generally not particular concerned with the terms of the agreement in the first place. True, what I was really wondering is if he would have to stay in the US if charged until sorted one way or the other. What I mean is, would a charge effectively end his career considering that it can take years for something like this to go to trial?

big crush on Chad OMG posted:The chance of him being denied bail is effectively zero. I know that, but on bail, he'd be legally allowed to leave the country, yeah? Or would he be forced to stay (have his passport taken away) until it's sorted? Or does that only happen if someone is considered a flight risk?
