Bale to be banned for playing for Spurs?

[nightgoat]

Presumably it's fine for Phil Jones to be withheld from the tournament given how tired he is after all those games he played at Euro 2012.

Levy will take him to the cleaners if he trys to pull this shit

levy be sitting in his office looking at that fat oaf saying "come at me bro"

red nose straight up said what players they were aloud to take giggs was one and cleaverly was another i think

Of course some people's hero Gary Lineker has had to throw his two cents into the mix.

I follow Lineker on Twitter and the more he tweets the less i like the bloke! seems to have an opinion about everything! Also makes up quite a lot of Jokes which are imho not funny at all.

So why is it fine for Man Utd to dictate who can be picked but not us?

cause Fergie is a ****

It's all a load of typical hyperbollocks from the tabloids. Bale won't get banned...Spurs have done nothing wrong...and Blatter will continue to be a ****.

Is it against the rules for a player to say he refuses the invite?

Because surely that's all this boils down to. But we probably tried to be more polite by blaming his fitness.

I think he genuinely wanted to play in it, however it sounded as if he had some slight problems with his back, and seeing as this lead to some major time off last season the club quite correctly decided to pull him out. If it turned out not to be as serious as feared, well, that's neither here nor there.

In all honesty I wouldn't have blamed him for rejecting the offer, considering the small section of Welsh fans that decided to boo him when playing for Wales for having the audacity to reveal his willingness to play in the Olympics.

I love the way the Welsh players in particular are comparing this to a World Cup, knowing their chances of appearing at one are slim. It's the equivalent of a youth tournament!

iirc bale really wanted to play for team GB... the reason he wasn't selected was due to injury right? i am sure if there was a chance he would be named for the team, he would have gone for it.

Blatter is at the GB womans game at the moment, must be checking if the shorts are tight enough.

That's sort of the idea of twitter isn't it, having an opinion on everything and twittering on about any old thing? basically have a thought - tweet it

Yes i suppose it is but he just seems to come across a bit dickish! I follow loads of people and they dont seem to have the same effect. I'm not quite sure how but he just manages to irritate.... I may even unfollow him. I know he will be upset ;-)

Presumably he's still the biggest tit there.

 

[king26]

just blatter and media crap

 

[Dare!]

This is just silly. Blatter needs to get a grip and resign ASAP.

 

[Ribble]

Has anyone pointed out that the Olympic football final is a week before the season starts yet? No?

Bloltter.

 

[nightgoat]

The BOA don't seem all that bothered by it.

End of.

I found it pretty surprising Bale dropped out after spending a couple of years trumpeting the tournament and prepared to run the wrath of the Welsh. I can also see that Pearce, Giggs etc would be pretty pissed off but it is entirely possible to be too injured to front up for a major tourney but ok for some measured on field time in casual pre season football.
