FA Chief Martin Glenn in trouble for equating the Star of David to the Swastika and Robert Mugabe...this man runs football in this country?!

The whole organisation needs scrapping and starting from scratch - Can't be any worse than what's in charge now.

They seem to misstep at every opportunity.

"But things that are going to be highly divisive, and that could be strong religious symbols - it could be the Star of David, it could the hammer and sickle, it could be a swastika, anything like Robert Mugabe on your shirt - these are the things we don't want."

If you misquote it and take hammer and sickle out it does sound a ****load worse, but I think he's been taken out of context.

Still a silly thing to say but.

[Kenneth]

Yep, pretty shoddy reporting.

He did **** up though you need to be on your game if you are going to refer to the Swastika and the Star of David in the same sentence. Not just casually throwing them about as divisive symbols. The fact that he included the Star of David in with the soviets, nazis and Mugabe and calling all of them divisive is not all that flattering. He to throw in a few other good logos to balance it out.

Do they only have idiots at the FA?

The iconography behind the Swastika is interesting and actually peaceful, it was/is a Hindu symbol of peace before the Nazis got their hands on it. He should have talked about that.

Just watched the highlights of the RB Leipzig vs Zenit St. Petersburg Europa match.

Check out the freekick at 1:51. Very inventive!

Reus has just signed a 5 year contract with BD

All gone crazy at PAOK - AEK in the last minute. PAOK had a huge goal disallowed and it's gone mad and their president has gone on the pitch to confront the ref and kick off at journos. Crowd are still there an hour after the game has been stopped, AEK players gone in and PAOK just kicking a ball around.

On another note, there's been huge problems with fixing out there for years, Olympiakos had a gang of "little brother" teams who just rolled over for them, now it's been busted to an extent, a few people got jailed or suspended sentences and they are struggling to win a league they usually piss.

Going to be great when it all comes out over here and the jail sentences follow.

[Darkon]

It's actually a tad worse than that. The president tried to take a gun out to threaten the ref, but was stopped from doing that.

[EwarWoo]

Holy ****! That's some next level ****.

Banned for life surely?
