    I don't think Britain signed up to the Shengen Agreement - the UK and Ireland opted out.

    Given some of the people who already own clubs I doubt the benchmark will be very high.....

    The FA have only got themselves to blame. The appeal would go something like this: Blazer 1 "well he made contact, Mr Webb, have you anything to say or add to your report?"
    "No"
    Blazers have a murmur session for 5 seconds or so...
    "Appeal denied"

    That's how it works and no wonder the FA are now facing legal action. There is far too much money in the game now for it to be run like some amateur bridge club. That Webb and the panel either cannot see or refuse to see what has happened brings the game into disrepute far more than some misguided tweet by some half brained pro.

    Their intransigence beggars belief. I have resigned from refereeing not over this but similar incidents and the prevailing attitudes at officer level and this fiasco only serves to ensure I stay out of the game which pisses me off no end.

    HH you are correct. The only nations in west Europe not in the agreement are UK and Ireland. That is silly as all the east Europe nations Rúmanía and Bulgaria are in the EU now have access to your nation anyway and ex-Júgóslavía will just come as well.

    Leeds United 2014. Takes the place of Leeds United and completes the fixtures. Why can they not start at the bottom like anyone else?

    Quoting from the article "Together Leeds, a group lead by former Manchester United international Mike Farnan, appear to be the only rival party to Cellino but ..."

    Anyone ever heard of him?

    The guy was an International DIRECTOR!

    Are Leeds fans going to be happy having a guy with Man U connections running the club...mind you maybe its the better option!

    I guessed five correctly.

    I got Barcelona Boca Juniors Chelsea Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in alphabet order. I was confused with one and got the correct area and wrong team.

    I got 5, (4,5,6,8 & 9 correct) scrape a pass.

    Saw some of these elsewhere but didn't put the right names to them.

    Pretty fanciful some of them.
