Irish not foreign according to English Premier League

[bennocelt]

with our lovely european membership, every individual has the right to earn a living within any member state (granted some refused to allow the polish in when they joined) they have the right to move and seek work within the coallition,

its impossible to implement this foreign player policy as it would over-rule a common law, and common law will always be above sporting law,

FIFA are pumping in millions to pass this moronic law, that will never be passed, as it would infringe on the right given to us through EU membership,

i dont know anything about law, but i would think this argument would hold up well in my hands, what would a solicitor do with it?

Please where have you lived the last few years!!! Sport is kind of different

i know sport is different, but this sporting law takes away the right for people to apply there trade in a foreign country, whats the point of having the EU if the laws of it can be blocked by a sporting organisation,

how would you fell if you went to holland (a member state) and were told they already have 2 irish people working for them, so cant hire any more,

its an impossible law to implement, its a pipe dream

On don ramo's post, I came across this yesterday and wonder why I hadn't heard about being used in football before.

I'm sick of Sepp Blatter. The sooner he's gone, the better. Maybe then, players can celebrate how they want to and institutional racism won't be encouraged by the top organisation of the game.
