love lahm tbh. he's always been a great player. he's probably one of the most likeable players around.
They paid her up front, that's why they were on trial in the first place. http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1...-benzema-acquitted-solicitation-trial?cc=5901
'However, the judge at a court in Paris ruled there wasn't enough proof that the pair were aware of Dehar's age at the time.' Shocking that.
Just read that Toure isn't getting charged for his kick at van Wolfswinkel. What did City do to get all these ridiculous decisions in their favor?
btw, just on how this works. the disciplinary panel for the non-seen cases is judged by 3 referees. it's usually 1 strict ref, 1 medium ref and 1 ref who generally let's things go. they all view it seperately and all 3 must come to the same conclusion for a punishment to stand, so if the easy going ref decides it's not a red card offence, then it doesn't matter what the other 2 say, there won't be any punishment.
Thanks for the info. For the record I have to say that sounds like an incredibly stupid system on multiple levels.
It's no different at the bottom: Lose two in a row, you're in the relegation zone; win two in a row, you're mid-table.
