Sure everyone will be tuning into the above. They'll probably hear about it anyway! These programmes never seem to put the club in a good light... |

Dortmund have been amazing to watch this season. with Gotze, Pulisic, Kagawa, Dembele, Aubameyang etc they're pure eroticism going forward. but they do concede way too many soft goals.

PSG's Serge Aurier won't be available to play Arsenal tomorrow, due to not being allowed into the UK, after being convicted of assaulting a police officer. Quote:
Paris St-Germain full-back Serge Aurier was stopped from entering the United Kingdom and will miss Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/...linkname=sport
The Ivorian, 23, was given a two-month suspended prison sentence in September for assaulting a police officer. PSG say the UK authorities granted Aurier a visa in October but revoked it on 16 November, citing his conviction. Uefa expressed "deep disappointment" in the ruling, while PSG said the timing showed "a lack of respect". The French champions accused the Home Office of a "tardy response" and claimed the decision was not made until Tuesday afternoon. As Aurier was born outside Europe, he was applying for a Tier 2 Sportsperson visa, which allows an individual to stay in a country for up to three years and typically takes three weeks to process. But the Home Office said in a statement: "The immigration rules clearly state that non-EU nationals who have received a custodial sentence of less than 12 months within the last five years will be refused on criminality grounds." There is no right to appeal against a visa refusal. Aurier, an Ivory Coast international, is appealing against his initial conviction, leading PSG to believe he is entitled to be presumed innocent. "Paris St-Germain strongly regrets the presumption of innocence has not influenced Britain's decision," said the club in a statement. Uefa sent letters to the Home Office and Football Association supporting PSG, and said it was "regrettable" he could not play "for reasons which are not related to football and its regulations". Aurier, who has played 40 times for PSG since making his loan deal from Toulouse permanent last year, is accused of elbowing a police officer outside a Paris nightclub in May. In addition to his suspended sentence, he was fined €600 (£521). PSG manager Unai Emery said the club "did everything in its power" to have Aurier available for their penultimate game in Group A. His side go into Wednesday's meeting at Emirates Stadium second in the standings, level on 10 points with leaders Arsenal with both clubs assured of a place in the knockout stages. |

Yeah it's all well and good scoring 8, but you can't be conceding 4. Did neither team have a goalkeeper?

You could say that about UEFA too. It sounds like they think they should be the sole arbiters of whether he can play or not, as if he should be exempt from other regulations. |

Imagine if a player was unavailable because he's serving a suspension for violent conduct on the field. They'd be laughed at if they tried to get an exception for this game. But because it wasn't during a game they think he should be able to go. |

No, they are not a bunch of morons. Far from it in fact. In France, if you appeal against a conviction then the presumption of innocence continues - you are only considered guilty once all appeals are finished. As he is appealing against the conviction, he is still presumed to be innocent under French law, hence the annoyance from PSG that he has been banned before his guilt has been proven. If the case was in the UK, he'd obviously be considered guilty but I actually see PSG's point here, it doesn't seem right that we assume guilt even though the legal system he is going through does not.

But he is not playing in France, he is playing in London, so he and PSG have to abide by our laws not theirs.

A journalist asked Brendan Rodgers if he can believe Messi is possible, and talks about the Loch Ness monster. English is clearly not his first language.
Funny question: https://www.facebook.com/bbcthesocia...1618639948559/ "It's hard to believe you'd ask that question" Possibly Brendan's best ever response to a question.

The Premier League changed their Facebook profile picture to the Premier League logo with the LGBT flag. https://www.facebook.com/premierleag...type=3&theater Great move, I thought. And, unexpectedly, it got a lot of negative comments. People asking to "keep politics out of football", and "keep LGBT rubbish out of football" and comments of that nature. People who seem to think basic human rights is politics, or a matter of the page admin's opinion, that it's being forced down their throats. Like this: Quote:
Keep this lgbt rubbish out of football
Let's rephrase that, shall we?Let's keep basic human rights out of football. Remember black players getting bananas thrown at them? We should've told them to suck it up and get on with it. John Barnes should've learnt to live with it instead of forcing his right to live and play football down our throats. That's how stupid you* sound when you say to keep LGBT rubbish out of football. It's about basic human rights. It's not some movement, it's not an opinion, it's not a choice. *you being the people with this view, of course, not anyone here (unless they agree with it). This was my favourite comment: Quote:
Will there be support for straight people??? Disgusting pfff
I wasn't a big fan of the Premier League's new logo, but this I like. If it upsets and offends people with backward views, or people who hide behind a book that they've probably never read, then that's their problem. |

There are some right backwards thinking people, personally I think it is great that they are supporting such a worthwhile cause.

I'd be intrigued to see what 'support for straight people' would involve. It's along the same lines as the angry nerds who sincerely call themselves 'meninists' and the people who whine about there being no MOWO awards.
