I see the main problem with the 'Rooney Rule' over here is that most teams have in mind who they want to hire anyway! Like us, when WM goes, I'm pretty sure the Pozzos will have already lined up his replacement, so there will be no shortlist! I don't disagree with the rule, and maybe someone will blow them away in interview, but for most teams it will be just a tick-box task...
If the rule is implimented with no enforcement to actually employ an ethnic candidate, then the rule will become a laughing stock, but I don't see how the demand could be that an ethnic candidate MUST be employed, so it looks dead in the water!
I guess this is one of the hazards of ladies football! Guess Yeovil won't be too chuffed.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39387650
Well Cadiz were awful. Tenerife deserved their 0-1. So looks like play offs but I hope we do not go up. Just not good enough for La Liga. But England looking bright.
Torsion v Udinese on BT3 at 11:30. The Little Zebras are in a comparable position to us, points and position wise, although infinitely more comfortably off with the bottom four well behind.
Digging around in the nether regions of international football results this weekend I couldn't help but be impressed by CSM Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ, the club formed after the demotion and subsequent collapse of the former Romanian ffirst division team FC Ceahlăul Piatra Neamţ for financial reasons (their owner emptied their bank account ad disappeared). Somewhat lost in the fifth level they followed up last weeks 21-0 win wirh another "victory". Playing away from home against Viitorul Podoleni they were winning 0-5 when the match was abandoned after 14 minutes as the opposition only had SIX players left. Injuries or dismissals this is quite interesting.
The explanaition. http://zch.ro/csm-ceahlaul-jucat-13-minute-la-podoleni-conducea-cu-5-0/ Viitorul couldn't start the match with a full team and began with only the goalkeeper and six out field players; at 13 minutes they lost one through injury which ended the game. Bonkers.
