But it is the rule. Their nationals can show any feelings against the Oz policies at the ballot box, others have to accept them regardless of their views. C'est la vie. Back to my ignored question. The rule is in place - should the Oz authorities ignored the rule and waved him through? Yes or no.

Control to whom, for what purpose, and for what gain?

Man, you're scraping the barrel with your North Korea comparison. The rule is the rule. With that being so, are you saying that Oz should have just waved Novak through? It's a yes or no one.

This bollocks again. What is it about, spell it out. Explain what multiple governments around the world get from spending on vaccines, slowing down their economies, supplementing their populous, etc, etc. The answer is fuck all.

Exactly that. "Choice" ain't just about people doing what they want. It's also about countries and institutions having the choice to set their own rules. We could debate the merits of the Oz rules all day long, but they are what they are, and fair play to them for implementing them.

I see that Lemina and Aubemayang were caught partying 4 days before AFCON and now both have covid.

Noted, but your logic is flawed. You say that Jankewitz must be crap because a) Ralph didn't seem to rate him, b) he had to move to a lesser club to get games, and c) he's yet to establish himself at that club. If that logic was correct, it'd equally apply to Simeu and Small. The reality though is that all 3 of them are talented kids yet to prove themselves, and the fact that they haven't been given game time is not evidence that they aren't good enough or won't make it.

He's Catholic I think.

That's completely different to someone spending somebody else's millions without their authority.

As Dman says, I'm not sure what you're getting from digging out a young lad. He's decent, but I'm not wasting my time discussing the merits of an ex player with someone who thinks A Armstrong is a better prospect than Broja. On the Ralph point, he was shit for most of last year, and he was stubborn about this kid. Two separate points.

I get the impression that Twar has no stats on the kid to assess him so has assumed that he must be shit because he's not forced his way into the team. Like you, I've seen him play and its clear that he's a very decent footballer who deserves some credit for wanting to play and improve himself.

I get that, and had he kept a lid on things it would have been very interesting to see where he could have taken us. There's no getting away from the fact that he oversaw one of the best periods of my time as a fan. Seeing us come back from the depths, flying through the leagues, signing players well above our status, and playing some great football was brilliant. It's a shame how it ended but we've survived, and these new guys seem like a step forwards from where we've been over recent years.

I can see how you'd say that if you view it superficially, and don't know the reality. I was privy to details back then. The overspend on Staplewood was double digit millions. There was a lot of other stuff too. He oversaw our ascent and for that we can all we grateful, but sadly he was the author of his own downfall.

Don't be a prick mate, it's a top flight club. If he was shit as you say, he'd be off to a lower league club.

The kid left here because he wanted to play, and has moved again because he wants to play. Where's the poor attitude in a player wanting to earn his wages?

Yeah, he must be awful to be getting a move to another top flight club. That happens to poor players. Or something.

Not sure what the issue is. The owner will have control of the club and have paid at least 20% less for the privelige. Kat still has shares which under new ownership may increase in value. Sounds like a win for both of them without any negative impact on the club/team.

I was feeling optimistic until then.

So buying bargains and mugging buyers off. Livramento. Vestergaard.

Certainly was.

Interesting thought. Has there been any mention of him continuing to be involved with FC Midtjylland? Them becoming part of the group seems logical.
