FIFA has re-iterated Suarez is banned from training despite reports to the contrary.

You just claimed they gave the link hope. And they are ruining threads left right and centre, if there's going to long threads tracking players and whether or not they're coming to us then those threads need to have news updates. Not bullshit.

Fifa reiterate "Suarez can't train with national team or club (for 4 months) but ban doesn't affect transfer, so can have medical"#lfc#fcb
FIFA are infringing on his right to work and freedom of movement. Fifpro had an issue with the punishment and I doubt that this is the last that we'll hear of it. Human rights Commission and Court of Arbitration will have something to say about it if the appeal by Uruguay fails.
Who said that he will get paid?They aren't.
Let's look at the Bosman case for comparison. An out of contract player (so not being paid) who because his club would not release his registration, unable to earn a living.
Suarez - player gets a ban, is getting paid. No restriction on anything there.
Oh stop it you flirt!What are the chances we've got James Rodriguez lined up as a replacement and are waiting until Columbia are finished with the world cup before announcing it?
If you posted via twitter I'd been impressed 🙂Ross - I'm going to try and be as even-handed as I can in this. I can appreciate that you seem to be on a one-man crusade to improve the forum and make it a better place, and in your mind that's by cutting out bullshit twitter rumours.
However, I've got a newsflash for you - it isn't working.
In fact, it's self-defeating.
You're not making the forum better, you're actively ruining it. Whether this is due to an abject lack of self-awareness on your part, or whether you actually know what you are doing but feel so embittered that you no longer care, I'm not sure - only you can answer that. But I'd hazard a guess that I'm speaking for a fair proportion of people - possibly even the majority - when I say that it's a fuckton easier to put up with bullshit rumours from twitter than it is to put up with your constant sniping.
I may be wrong. I'm more than happy to run a poll on this and wind my neck in if I am. Maybe I'm speaking out of turn, maybe my feelings on this are not the consensus, in which case I'll happily shut the fuck up.
However, perhaps your feelings on what this place needs to do to improve are not the consensus. Perhaps everyone else is actually perfectly happy to wade through a few twitter rumours and take an appropriately sized pinch of salt based on their preference, because they're an adult that can make their own mind up.
I know I am.
Though I don't frequent any other football sites other than this, I rather suspect that most of them - especially at this time of year - will be littered with similar threads. Before the advent of twitter, we'd all do the same thing with articles from newspapers - and let's face it, the veracity of either of those sources is not a million miles apart. You've developed this all-consuming agenda, and it's turned you into someone that most of the people from the KT era wouldn't recognise (or, possibly, would easily mistake for DJ Syd.)
What the fuck happened dude?
You used to be fun. Remember the very first days when this place opened up? Remember the thread that (if memory serves me correctly) - you yourself started back on KT: "It's Oh So Quiet . . ." - what happened to that Ross? Y'know, the sound one. The one that was a laugh?
All I've come to expect from you these days is sanctimonious or supercilious shite, and trolling the fuck out of Hansern and Mystic. It's sad - you've become a pastiche of this new persona that you've created, and it's a shadow of your former self.
To co-opt the SCM meme . . . "All you do is troll"
I can't think of the last positive or constructive thing you've added to the forum. I can't remember the last decent post. I can't think what you actually add to this place, other than unnecessary tension and a trail of threads ruined by the same old shite again and again and again.
It's boring. You're boring. Bring back the old Ross, this one's fucking rubbish.
I mean - I'm not being funny, but apart from the nutjobs, there's only been a few notable bannings in the history of this place, and when you look at who they were and why they got the boot, it starts to raise some questions.
Brendan got sacked off because he was driving people away. He was beyond acerbic, he mercilessly hounded a few individuals and he was relentlessly unrepentant. But on the other hand at least he was funny once in a while and he did keep some of the morons in check.
Ryan got banned from his own site for something similar - he's always been capable of producing quality posts, but it had got to the stage where those were few and far between and he was just picking fights with people.
Well . . . do I need to make the point explicit? Can you really say you're doing anything different - adding anything more than them?
You're stinking out the place. All you do is come into a thread and drop a dirty great turd in it, and then revel in spreading it over the next few pages. I'd rather read 100 pages of twitter bullshit than 2 pages of that.
Perhaps - and I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here - you believe that in doing so you're 'cleaning this place up' and making it better for everyone, but the reality is you're fucking shit up. No-one wants to hear it anymore. It got real fucking old about 6 months ago, and it's starting to seem like the only thing you've got left.
Tell you what - if this place and its denizens really piss you off that much, perhaps you should take a leaf out of your own book and go off and start up a new forum. You've done it once before, you can do it again.
Because if you see everyone else as the problem, but nobody else agrees - perhaps it's time to self-evaluate a little. Maybe they're not the problem. Maybe the problem is you.
I'm not sure what's happened to you lately and why you've turned into what you have, but I miss the old Ross. When's he coming out to play again?
Peace n love x
Is this the same Markmc that does be on here?@MarkmaccaMc: Those tweeting saying deal for Suarez was £63 million are talking through their arse..It was actually £63 million plus a £1.#ITK
He doesn't have the contacts he use to have.Is this the same Markmc that does be on here?
