Only allowing full-time whistle when ball is out of play is a great change. I'm sick and tired of refs arbitrarily breaking up promising last-minute attacks, sometimes just because people clear a cross but with the ball still in play.

They'll still find a way to frustrate us, e.g. blow when a team wins a corner... technically out of play :D

Happened to United once or twice in recent years, refs blowing up as we were about to take a corner.
 
How do UEFA reason it's 'not aginst the integrity of the competition' to allow both Red Bull clubs into the CL this year?

How are two clubs with the same owners not open to a whole host of controversy?

Mad decision. Or not being it's UEFA.

Really weird decision by them. The rules are so clear on this and yet they choose not to apply the rules on them. Rules are there for a reason and you can't just go on cherry picking what is applicable. If the rule isn't right anymore then you remove or amend it.

Really stupid as it opens the door on some other UEFA rules not popular like ban on third party ownership to be questioned more (which is also contested on European courts at this moment by Portuguese and Spanish football federations). Why should clubs follow some rules when UEFA won't themselves follow all of them through.

Bayern unveiling a new logo with some massive changes. On a side note if any football club wants to pay me to spend 5 minutes editing their existing logos my rates start at 100k.

Same blokes who did the new Juventus logo no doubt
 
Di Maria has been fined 1.76 million and given a suspended one year prison sentence for tax fraud. If a few people break their conditions there could be some very good Spanish prison football teams
 
Good appointment for Southampton.


Southampton appoint Mauricio Pellegrino as new manager

Southampton have appointed Mauricio Pellegrino as their new manager on a three-year deal.


The 45-year-old, who left his role as boss of La Liga side Alaves in May, was under consideration along with Dutchman Frank de Boer, who has been offered the Crystal Palace job, according to Sky sources.


In Argentinian Pellegrino, Saints vice-chairman Les Reed believes they have found someone who fits seamlessly with the Southampton philosophy after a disappointing campaign with Frenchman Claude Puel at the helm.

Kingsley Coman placed in custody for domestic violence

Published on Tuesday June 27, 2017 at 18:12 | Updated on 27/06/2017 at 18:47

Kingsley Coman was taken into custody on Monday in Seine-et-Marne for domestic violence before being released.

Kingsley Coman was placed in police custody Monday morning in Seine-et-Marne, for domestic violence, revealed Europe 1 on Tuesday. The young striker of Bayern Munich (21 years old) was heard for a few hours at the police station of Chessy, following a complaint filed by his ex-companion, confirmed by the prosecution of Meaux. A mundane break of the couple would be at the origin of the case. Two disputes erupted Saturday and Monday at the home of the French international, where the young woman also resided.

According to our information, this one would have stolen the codes of the player's Instagram account, before using them for an advertisement of one of its sponsors. This would not have been of any consequence. But furious, Coman, although of a very posed nature, would have lost his calm. He immediately acknowledged the facts and was released after being questioned by the police. He will be judged at the beginning of the school year. As for the young woman, she was prescribed a work stoppage of less than 8 days.
 
Looks Google translated, but from the looks of it the lass wasn't exactly a saint either.
