Yeah seems a bit odd for Barcelona to allow that clause then whine about it when Atletico don't trigger it.

I think its their understanding of the contract v Atletico's

Barca's is, the clause started the moment he signed for them and has reached sufficient minutes played for the deal to be activated in the first part of his loan spell.
Atletico are saying the clause kicked in only this season and now being superb bastards about his time on the pitch

Nice seeing Barca fucked over on a loan deal though.

Especially as he came on at "their" timescale and went on to score the winner.

I'm laughing my tits off at Barcelona getting shafted.

I can finally report another win for Charlotte FC! Despite Christian Fuchs showing once again that even MLS is beyond him now, we held on with 10 men against NYCFC for a 1-0 victory.

Still basically out of the playoff hunt, but overall the season continues to be a success in terms of building a good foundation for year 2.

 

[BillyDee]

I hope things continue to get better, for Fuchs sake...

Rangers game v Napoli moved to Wednesday and away fans not allowed due to limitations on policing for the game.


Rangers fans won't be allowed to attend the away tie

 

[Kenny]

Looking like games will be on next weekend. Only ones in doubt will be in London due to the police being busy elsewhere

How massively disrespectful.

 

[Kenny]

How massively disrespectful.

True. The Queen wouldn't want us to have to watch Haaland destroy us just 2 days before her funeral. No thought put into these decisions.

 

[sycophantia]

Hope that's true, been looking forward to this game for ages for various reasons.

The comments at the moment are games can go ahead but if they can't be put on safely (i.e insufficient police) they can be called off.

 

[Kenny]

[Kenny]

Man U v Leeds and Chelsea v Liverpool will be off this weekend.

Brentford v Arsenal probably off as well

 

[Kenny]

Brentford survive.

7 games go ahead this weekend (Brighton was already off)

 

[The Bear]

Ridiculous. The met have said there will be no issues if asked to police any games.

Ridiculous. The met have said there will be no issues if asked to police any games.

Clearly they are issues though and the PL and police etc been in talks before announcing. UEFA for example wouldn't allow a game to be called off without good reason. They only allowed Rangers to move their game by a day for their policing issues

 

[PuntsWolf]

If they are not working on football where else are they going to be? Is it because they are having to do overtime on Monday so get the weekend off?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If certain games have issues with policing why not move them behind closed doors? Not like we haven’t had a bit of practice at that shit.
