Doncaster have lost their appeal against the FA's unfair relegation relegation of them in favour of Manchester City. The FA are a complete and utter disgrace. Bunch of ****ing dinosaurs need to get the **** out before they ruin football in this country. They've already done a good job of severely damaging women's football. I hope everyone boycotts Man City's games next year. **** the FA. The way football is governed in this country is '****ing appalling', which clearly what FA stands for. I am sick and tired of the FA who are accountable to no-one, are as transparent as a brick wall and are reeking of corruption and greed. Someone needs to do something about it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23109804
The contempt that those in charge are showing toward certain sides [Pompey Ladies included] is verging on the criminal IMO. I honestly think you couldn't make it up!
You might be interested in this. I wrote it tonight and based it upon Alfred Lord Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade. I thought about making a new thread for it but, hey, no real point I feel, if there's already a thread about the subject I might as well use that. I tell ya, sometime writing these things is very difficult, and I'm sure the ending is weak. Anyway, here you go: Betrayed are the Belles One game in, one game in One game in the season And all effort made worthless Betrayed are the Belles Gone from the League they played Thrown from the League they made And all effort made worthless Betrayed are the Belles Gone from the League they played Now is the game dismayed And all the public knew Someone had blundered âFeel for the Bellesâ they say âFor nought are the games they play Relegated in one day For a couple of hundredâ Supporters beside them Supporters behind them Supporters stand with them To the cause of the Belles Replaced by a bigger name A club of far greater fame For the menâs team, all the same Man City so did come to claim The place that held the Bells Money surely came was the key When this decision came to be For no response has met the plea To solve this strange mystery Of the plight of the Belles Relegation without case Save for money does disgrace The game that we do all embrace And makes the FA so lose face As in this story tells When will now end this shame? And this dishonour to the game That the FA think fleeting Not while the Belles persist Not while we still resist This bad case of mistreating
I agree, excellent poem. You should post it on the Belles' Facebook page or somewhere. Talking of which, like my new sig pic? As for Pompey, Fratton, I think we were massively disadvantaged by the amount of time it took the the PST to take over the club, had that happened sooner, we'd have been in a much better position for our WSL bid. Then again, with the FA being the FA, it still probably wouldn't have helped. If Leeds can't get in, then that doesn't give much hope for everyone else. But South Durham and Cestria, with their massive fanbase, got in!!!!
