    So it is true that the French don't have a sense of humour.

    "I'm going to have spend three months in the bar." <ok>

    "One cannot accept such behaviour. It is perhaps a joke but we are here to judge the facts,"

    This I don't get. They have used thier opinion in making this judgement, not fact. Any club is free to enquire about any other club's player (nationality laws aside) and whilst anyone with an ounce of sense can see that it was a 'joke' bid, they have done nothing wrong.

    Borne make a bid for Messi.
    Barcelona reject it.
    End of story.

    The FFF had no right blocking the bid, however ambitious it may have seemed! Where to you draw the line? Blyth Spartans bidding for Shola Ameobi? Would that be blocked and see Tait banned from the game for 6 months? How about if it were a Boro player? A Hartlepool player? A Darlington player?!

    If this were a higher profile club, no way would the FFF have the balls to hand out a ban. What if PSG put in a bid for Messi? In my opinion he's just as unlikely to join them as Borne but as a 'big club', they're allowed to make bids for whoever they like.

    The FFF have crossed a line here, there are no hard facts to justify their punishment.

    They'd have shot him if he bid for Shola.

    In all seriousness though, they are killing the whimsy and fun that can be had in football. Things like this and the guy who applied for the Boro job based on FM are fantastic.

    They've never been known to have a sense of humour.

    But the guy that applied for the Boro managers job was in dead earnest!

    I think this calls for the FFF website to be bombarded with poorly-translated jokes!

    This joke goes down like a pork pie at a Jewish picnic in France (tried and trusted):

    Why do the French plant trees down the sides of their roads?

    So the German army can march in the shade.
