Judgement day in Italy...
Jul 14, 2006 | 9:48AM | BobbyMcMahon
The verdict is due very soon but Gazzetta dello Sport reported this morning that the sanctions will be:
Relegated to Serie B and docked points for 06/07 - Juventus, (docked 20 points) Fiorentina (docked 7 points) and Lazio (docked 10 points)
AC Milan to remain in Serie A but excluded from the Champions League and docked 10 to 15 points for 06/07 season.
I will not be surprised if these are the sanctions or something very close. With a 20 point ded... Read More

Ruud van Nistelrooy
Jun 25, 2006 | 10:21PM | BobbyMcMahon
As the dust finally settles after the World Cup equivalent of the Gunfight at the OK Corral another question surfaces – why was Ruud van Nistelrooy still on the bench while Dirk Kuyt started, and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink came on as a substitute?
Has van Nistelrooy suddenly become so poor that he has plummeted below Kuyt and JV of H in the Dutch pecking order?
His record during the group stage was:
Serbia and Montenegro Started but replaced by Dirk Kuyt after 69 minutes
Ivory Coast Started and scored a goal but replaced by Danny Landzaat 73 minutes.
Argentina Started but replaced by Ryan Babel 56 minutes.
So how do you go from the first ch... Read More
