Spot on magicme
I vote we send Maxi instead of the FAI, could be more effective.
wat the feck else do FIFA do in fairness. Meeting a fellow organisation to sort out an issue as important as this should be top of their agenda.:confused:Quote:

The rule cannot be enforced on EU citizens in the EU as it contravenes Restraint of Trade employment regulations. A footballer should not be denied the right to earn a living from his chosen profession.Quote:

Thats nonsense. Being cup tied prevents a player from playing in cup games which are few and far between. This rule prevents him from being employed as no club will sign a player who can't play while they are paying his wages for six months.Quote:

If your reading this Delaney be sure and send the fine to Limerick F.C. you ******* ******** ***** **** you :mad:
Ok a player with no club and no income of course has a case but when like (Mark Leech he has a club and income) why should he let away. Also termination of a players contract means they will be payed out the rest of money owed or done something to break it.
Not getting a game is part of football and just becase mascareno doesnt he should have to honour the agreement made. Take the good with the bad in deals.
I'm not saying the rule isn't nonsense (although there are arguments to be made in favour of it), but I really don't perceive a major conceptual difference between it and the cup-tying regulations. How can you argue that a rule which prevents a player from earning a move to a Champions League participant in mid-season (a move which would otherwise have gone ahead, all things being equal) doesn't represent a restraint of trade and a major restriction of earnings?Quote:

Ridiculous.
The UEFA guy who deals with this kind of thing is apparently " on holiday"Quote:
