Would you recommend physical restraints? We didn't release Luiz, so the Argentinians clearly made it clear that they were not going to be stopped from going. There's literally nothing we can do in that situation; while players are assets, you can't own human beings in this country any more. I'm surprised you've not heard, it was kind of a big deal when they stopped it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Did Luiz not get picked because of the quarantine rules? Given he’s been picked for everything else it would make sense. If that’s the case how did the Argentinian FA not know about the Argentinian players from the PL would not be allowed in. This is real debacle by the International teams, government and footballing bodies involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's for another thread let's not go way off topic here. No he wouldn't. No Brazilian PL players travelled. How is it off topic? You're posting about it in the Dean Smith thread so you must think it's due to him. Someone explaining a reason other than Dean Smith for them going suddenly making it off topic seems rather convenient, particularly when I've seen you posting unrelated criticisms of Smith in other threads literally today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Dave-R said: Yeah I do not think anyone has any power over the player here. If a player wants to represent there country then not much can be done. I think we have to agree to the international protocols, not much we could do having signed up to that...also its hard to curtail the ambitions of selected players, we should be proud of that, part of our progression.....we can't have it both ways....The club was put in an invidious position. They couldn't win imo. Edited September 6, 2021 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was after the European Cup semi final, when there was a “minor” disturbance during the game. Well people on the roof, pitch invader blocked a shot, game stopped for 20 minutes. Like I say minor, it was the 80s. I think it was on the Brum Mail at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't have had to mention the date and I would have known you were referring to the 80's just because the Brum mail were reporting actual news and not total **** bollocks.

We have to trust in him. As we stand, we have some choppy waters to navigate, we need our captain more than at any time, in his tenure. He needs our support more than at anytime in the job, too. I’m glad that you support Dean but (16/38)*100 = 42% 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
