Guest Andypendek Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 that's bad form, if it's true. but it does allow him to be selected for tonight, and tbh that's a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think FIFA are doing this to p*ss off clubs who ask for special dispensation. The Intertoto appearance isn't part of the decision, due to it straddling the two season, so all they have to decide on is whether they are willing to waive Cousin's 17 minutes as a sub on the opening day of Ligue Un. With modern technology, it's clearly very simple for all relevant board members to have a chat, which wouldn't take 5 minutes. They could have made a decision within an hour. Instead, it's gonna be one month to get a decision. They're clearly at it and are taking the p*ss. They want to look important and they want to p*ss off those who ask for special dispensation by keeping a player in limbo for a month, doing neither club a favour. They make the SFA look professional. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR 1,480 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 "Official text" confirms this. Also states he can play tonight...remains to be seen whether Walter agrees or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
britishempirexi 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Have they given a reason for it being postponed? I don't understand why it has taken so long in the first place. Obviously making an example of the clubs appealing for special dispensation. If they feel that strongly about it they should just say no. They would have a cheek to say no after so long now eh? I doubt WS will risk playing him incase he gets injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandSuckMaster 1,775 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Lets get Cousin and Novo up fron tonight and give them a wee shock as they would never expect that pairing. I know we will most likely only go for 1 up, but why not go for it and see wht happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersDude90 1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I do fully expect to see him up front himself, as has been the case the rest of the season. Its actually funny watching the players faces, esp Naismith, when he plays a fass for cousin to run on to, and he doesnt...the wee man gets so annoyed with him hehe Anyway, not sure if the move will go through, but i dont see how delaying it and delaying it is gonna help anyone.

bearsrus 12 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 if he's here, he must be selected for tonight, cos pana, no matter what people think, are a quality team, and the way we've been playing recently, we need all the quality we can get, he's by far and away the most obvious choice for a euro tie and wether or not he wants to be with us or not, he's a proffesional and should give 100%, so i say, start with him for at least an hour and if we need to change boyd or novo are there, cos if we're serious about this game, we need to have the strongest team fielded.

blueben_d 40 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 he can play tonight, but he could have played in all our other games since he signed for fulham. He wont play because if he gets injured the deal is scuppered. If we were desperate for a striker then he would play, but we aren't we still have at least 3 strikers to pick from. I'd be very surprised to see him play - especially as we will have prepared all week for having to be without him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulboy 2,521 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 there should have been no grey area in this transfer situation. You've either played for 2 clubs in a season or you haven't. This is Fifa's fault for letting mascherano sign for Liverpool when he had already played for 2 clubs and they will now start to get more and more clubs asking to sign players who have already played for 2 clubs in one season where are they going to draw the line now ? if you have played less than 20 mins it's ok or 30 mins or 45 mins or a whole game ? They make up the rules then just bend them when it suits. If It had been east Fife that wanted to sign Mascherano they would've been told to stop wasting Fifa's time but coz it was one of europes big clubs they bent the rules.
