So these professional footballers who are virtually isolated from the world in anyway, have a team of Dr’s behind their every move, are not allowed to shake hands with other professional footballers.

Stupid man, they are going to be getting up close to each other in anyway.

See the scenes at the end of the Derby/Man U match last night. Handshakes and hugs all round.

:thup: i've no issue with the rule* as long as it can't include activating a clause - without the rule leganes then have to balance the 18m or whatever they want for the player (can demand much more given the circumstances if the clause is rendered moot) vs. the risk of relegation

 

 

 

*obvs better if they don't have it at all mind

 

That would be seen as the league trying to circumvent worker rights and wouldn't stand on court. The reason we have transfer fees is that our courts ruled in the 1980s that sportsmen had the same right as any other worker to walk away from a job. The fees are an indemnity.

 

It would be better if it didn't allow transfers, just signing free players or promoting players from your B team outside the allowed age range.

Said he was given a Paraguayan Passport on arrival "as a gift".

 

Because national identity documents are often handed out when flowers are out of season.  SMH 

 

Read somewhere that Ronaldinho "doesn't understand" why he's been arrested - the news story was accompanied by a pic of the Dinho's goofiest grin. I've heard of footballers being divorced from reality in some daft ways, but this seems to be a special case...

His lawyer has indeed claimed that he's too dumb to know what he was doing was illegal.  :laugh:
