I want people to understand. WAFCON, the premier women's tournament, was just postponed because Morocco threw a fit. A way of putting pressure on the federation. This is the same CAF, under Motsepe, that has moved to every four years solely to suit its European masters. It is no longer fit for purpose. 

‘Its European masters’ - i.e. the ones who pay the players their insane salaries.  What would make more sense to me would be for European clubs to refuse to release players during the ridiculous AFCON timing and schedule.  It’s been a longstanding pisstake, and international football has always been utterly self-serving.

Not saying it’s right but they did all fuck off the pitch for a considerable amount of time which is a multi red card offence.

It’s an absolute shambles - but the regs were clear and they’d been breached.  Though nowt says more about how well put together said rules are than the fact they contain misspellings and seem to have been put through an AI translator:

 

ARTICLE 82

If, for any reason whatsoever, a team withdraws from the competition or does not report for a match, or refuses to play or leaves the ground before the regular end of the

match without the authorisation of the referee, it shall be considered looser and shall be eliminated for good from the current competition. The same shall apply for the teams previously disqualified by decision of CAF.

ARTICLE 83

A team that shall not be present on the ground, dressed to play at the time fixed for kick-off or at most 15 minutes later, shall forfeit the match. The referee shall register the absence of the team and shall write it in his report. The Organising Committee shall take the final decision in this respect.

ARTICLE 84

The team which contravenes the provisions of articles 82 and 83 shall be eliminated for good from the competition. This team will lose its match by 3-0 unless the opponent has scored a more advantageous result at the time when the match was interrupted, in this case this score will be maintained. The Organising Committee may adopt further measures.

Understand CaF have also retrospectively awarded Lewis Hamilton the 2021 F1 World Championship after a multi year investigation concluded that Article 48.12 was breached by race director Michael Massi.

The rewarding of the tournament is merely an admin point and completely misses the essence of football.

Senegal won the tournament, they rejoined and celebrated the moment, CAF will never be able to take that away from them, they'll remember those celebrations forever and they'll always be champions in their own minds.

Morocco aren't going to celebrate a victory gifted to them by suits in a boardroom somewhere, no one is dancing on the streets for that, it's a hollow victory.

They surely haven't got it spelled as 'looser' in the regs? :lol:

I hate all of these things and if granted 15 wishes I would totally eradicate them all.  

 

However, I would happily allow all of them to continue unabated, if the trade off was that I could could have one wish granted and that was to eradicate the misspelling of "loser" as "looser".

I think you may be my second favourite poster on this board after this list and the proposed trade off. I'd maybe swap sketchers for, say, animal cruelty but otherwise that's a list I'd be proud of.

That's a "mute" point.

 

I could care less and also missing out 'of' and instead saying 'a couple times'.

 

Yanks, FFS. 

 

EDIT - I don't mean eradicate the Yanks.  There are some quality lads on here.  So there must be at least 10 that are alright.

Can't wait to see the computations for the 115 charges VAR decision.

“If you multiple 115 by 0, the amount of effort we put into this, it’s 0 charges for Man City.”
