SEMTEX Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sacked off Toon Army NYC facebook group over Hatem. Someone posted a BBC link regarding his latest plight and the responses were generally "couldnt have happened to a nicer guy", "hahalolz", & "he's overrated anyway, not a team player". Wanted to cut them all into many pieces. Decided it's not healthy that I remain a part of the group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a member of that group as well, and watch the matches with some of them (although most that comment on the group aren't people who go to Legends) and it's fucking grim at times! Plenty who thought Pardew's hands were tied, that we should be happy with mid-table, that graft comes before creativity, etc. Probably about 80% moron in both the Facebook group but I can't be arsed to even argue with them as the stupidity drives you crackers. Probably won't cut them up into little pieces like haha! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 If someone played for Castilla/Barcelona B, then went on to play for Deportivo for 4 months, I doubt they'd be allowed another club? Just because our league structure is different I can't see how they could get around it? Seem hardlines unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Is it ''playing'' that counts, or just being registered? You did register him for the PL (when he got stripped off #10). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Is it ''playing'' that counts, or just being registered? You did register him for the PL (when he got stripped off #10). The playing part. You can get registered for as many clubs as you want but can only turn out for two clubs in a season. How the rules are seemingly different for loans, I do not know. It is however ridiculous that turning out in an under-21 match ties you to the quota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 He was all smiles during that U-21 game in August, now when he thinks of Santoon, Slim & that banner he must f***ing hate them. Yeah was a good afternoon out. Smuggling and displaying the banners was much hilarity and at least I got to see HBA play this season. Thankfully left just before Santoon went head over heals (in more ways than one)for HBA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Nice claim Hatem Ben Arfa remains in "limbo" after the Ligue de Football Professionnel failed to deliver a verdict on the player on Tuesday. The saga involving Hatem Ben Arfa's move to Nice continued on Tuesday as the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) stayed proceedings following a Legal Committee meeting. Ben Arfa moved to Ligue 1 club after leaving Newcastle United earlier this month but has yet to make his debut due to a disagreement over how many teams he has played for this season. The forward featured on loan for Hull City as well as Newcastle Under-21s, but has been unable to make his debut for Nice due to a FIFA regulations that state a player can only appear for two teams in a season. Nice and the English Football Association have both argued that the Under-21 game should not be classed as an official game, but FIFA stated in a "purely informative" letter that it felt otherwise. The decision rests in the hands of the LFP's Legal Committee but, following Tuesday's meeting, the organisation remain keen for FIFA to clarify its official position before reaching a verdict. "No decision today regarding the approval of the contract of Hatem Ben Arfa. The French international, who stayed in Nice training with his team-mates ahead of the derby [with Marseille on Friday], remains in limbo," read a statement from the club. "After Tuesday morning's hearing with Julien Fournier (CEO of Nice) and Jean-Jacques Bertrand (representative of the player), the Legal Committee of the LFP has decided to stay proceedings. "The league now wishes that the international federation expresses an official position before making its decision." The LFP has now asked the French football's governing body to approach FIFA's Player Status Committee in the hope of agreeing a verdict. Ben Arfa has endured a miserable season to date, having been frozen out under Alan Pardew at Newcastle before struggling to force his way into Steve Bruce's plans at Hull.

Pretty sure if someone played for Castilla/Barca B, another La Liga club then moved abroad, they'd block that? thing is those teams are playing in actual league games, this game for HBA was an "under 21" or to put more honestly a reserve game not in the english league. I'm not quite sure when reserve games actually counted. All in all rather silly this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
