work permit fails

[I'm no cynic but...]

I'm just praying that Nacho doesn't get refused. When I saw the thread title, I thought we'd lost him.

Nir Biton was also refused wasn't he? Can't get in at Celtic so not a bad thing..

 

[Cityfan]

To say nothing of Anderson getting a permit on the basis of "outstanding natural talent", which was clearly in evidence at MK the other night.

I'm quite glad they got that one through.

didnt the same thing happen with an iraqi footballer?

Yasser Hussein?

Didn't Dunne make him cry in training or something like that?

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

McDonald Mariga, who is currently without a club.

That's the bloody one!

Cheers blue.

Cracks me up that for years we sweated on permits, and the rags got them for every muppet with half a leg.

We were done over by the three Davids (Platt, Pleat & Bassett) who were part of the decision panel, if I recall correctly.

There's a theme developing here.......they've all been shite.

Nir Biton

Nir Biton

I think Celtic are sorry he got a work permit to play for them. He appears to have sparked controversy up there over his support for the Israeli armed forces operation in Gaza.
