Soccer Age blasts DC for not taking any action against Stoichkov. http://www.soccerage.com/en/13/l7672.html dre
At the very least, DC might have sent Hristo to a psychologist - didn't Zambrano say Mathis should go at one point? Or perhaps that was because it's not ok to screw yourself up because the club needs you - but to mess with a college kid, well, no biggie. Sad, sad. Remorse doesn't cut it. What a bad note to start the season on.
Why should we Metro fans care, I don't I think execution is the only way to satisfy most of you. The only thing left to discuss is what form of execution should it be . Seriously , we should leave it to those who can make the right decision about it.
Fwiw, SoccerAge.com is one of the major soccer news web sites. I'm glad to see that they have a social consciousness.
In that case Zambrano probably needed to see one more so than Mathis. But I like the idea of Stoitchkov going to see a shrink...maybe one named Bruno
I always disliked Hristo! Okay, then what would be the point of this forum. Anyway, I don't think anyone wants to kill the stupid a$$, I just want to see his pocket book hit.
Re: I always disliked Hristo! Maybe they'll suspend him, hopefully until June. or let the Kid do the same challenge back to Hristo and break his legs. SNED HIM BACK TO BARCA. dre once again, this post is not making sense
Considering that MLS holds Stoichkov's contract and not DC United, is DC United empowered to make player suspension decisions?
Here's Hristo's pocketbook: http://www.cmgww.com/sports/stoitchkov/siteinfo/faq.html Perphaps those who find his actions despicable should communicate their opinions to his spin doctors, i.e., his p.r. agents.
Stoitchkov Incident Under Review http://www.mlsnet.com/content/03/mls0327stoitchkov.html Stoitchkov Incident Under Review by MLS, "Our deepest sympathy goes out to Freddy Llerena and his family," said MLS Deputy Commissioner Ivan Gazidis. "Our best wishes are with him for a full and speedy recovery from this terrible injury. We are in the process of investigating the incident that lead to the injury, and we expect that investigation to be completed in the next few days. At that time, we will issue a further statement on this matter." "I’m sure that Hristo had no intention of causing any harm to the player. It was a terrible accident.” said United Head Coach Ray Hudson. read my lips , was called an accident
The soccerage article states that Stoichkov received a lifetime ban for his participation in a brawl in the Finals of the Bulgarian Cup when he played for CSKA Sofia. A lifetime ban from what? The Bulgarian league? Forever banned for a brawl? That cannot be. Bulgarian Cup finals? Don't the words "bulgarian" and "cup so close together agitate that little thing in your throat. But seriously. Banned for what?
for what or from what? From the league...but it was reduced later. In any case the next season he was with Barcelona. Convenient, eh?
Re: Stoitchkov Incident Under Review Nicely spun. What else would you expect Hudson to say? You can't be so naive as to think that's dispositive.
