How honest should sportsmen be?

[Whisky7up]

Whisky,

Plays for Lazio - 'nuff said. A team with an odious record for fascist beliefs and symbols, both on the pitch and in the stands. And yet, still able to play in Serie A. Funny that. Like the Italian, Spanish and Turkish sides that have had games abandoned due to crowd violence, but received only token punishment.

Remember the police using their shields to protect the guy taking the corner in that Turkey game. Was it FIFA or UEFA who said their previous record wouldn't be held against them when it came to punishment?
No...taking the prior record into account is reserved for when it's the England 'fans' involved.
And when opposing fans heap racist abuse on England footballers, what happens? Zilch....but then that's getting off the subject. But it's good to get something off the chest

Do you not have the expression 'rub of the green' in America?

The Earl

Probably not. Since so many fields have switched to the new artificail turf there are fewer green stains rubbing off.

Snide attempt at trans-Atlantic humour. Note the second 'u' in humour.
