Controversial ANC?

No!!!! It should not be played to suit us. It is older than the Euro's. We know that by signing an African player we will lose him for a month every 2 years. Comes with the territory.

HOWEVER, comma, :P I think it is unreasonable for us, the club, to be expected to pay their wages during this time, and the costs associated if the player gets injured. But this isn't just limited to the ANC, this, IMO, goes for all international football.

As far as that mailbag piece goes, Kendrick again uses the commercialism of football to support his argument. Several times he has complained about it and now he embraces it, purely because it suits his view.

Ghost, when are you going to remove Toffeeweb from your bookmarks. :P

ha ha, i should ask you the same question. ;)
 
Who care's now. They'v gone an theirs nothing we can do about it now. When we bought yak an pienaar we knew they would go!!! suppose this is what a squad is for.

By the way the ANC should be held in the summer!!!!
 

Just out of interest, why don't they hold it in the summer? Is it the weather? If so it seems a strange argument seeing as the next world cup is in South Africa, and presumably will be held in the summer.
 
Its going to be winter here if the games are in june/july which I think they are. I'm sure they could move the AFCON to please clubs.
 
It is the weather. (And isn't that South Africa's winter? I would imagine that the weather there - and presumably our members from that part can put us right - is completely different from much of the rest of the continent. Most of the South Africans I meet rave about their weather in the same way that the Aussies do.)
 

Also i read somwere that its not played in summer because of the heat....its because its so wet an the pitches get demolished in the down pours. Wether thats true or not is questionable.
