JfR Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Don't know if this is entirely the best place for it, but I don't think it deserves it's own thread Thought it was interesting that Daryl Murphy has made it public that he served a 6 week ban last season at Forest for taking cocaine and failing a drugs test: I had always assumed that if a player failed a drugs test that the FA would have released a statement, I had no idea that it's their policy to keep quiet about it. Makes you wonder how many players suffer "training ground injuries" that are a cover for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember a TV documentary a few years ago about drug testing in football that highlighted a couple of similar ones where the club never explicitly said they were out with a drugs ban - unless the rules forced them to, I'm sure all clubs would rather handle it to avoid the bad publicity. I doubt it's only Forest....<restrains self form saying libellous falsehoods on the forum> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read once that the FA keep it quiet to protect the players' welfare. I imagine that's policy originated from the time when it came out that Jake Livermore had taken cocaine after he lost his kid. I bet this sort of thing happens all the time.

Not sure of your policy but in the AFL over here it is a 3 strike rule, first time even the club isn't notified, second time the club is notified but no public outing, third time it is public knowledge. I know from first hand experience in the late 90's that most clubs do a lot of in-house testing and if something shows up their contract is pulled till they show up clean. The testers can only test contracted players hence pulled contracts and "Hammy Strains" suffered at training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to look forward to your play off defeats when we were down the league, it used to make up for a bad season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Drawing at home to Boro ain’t play off contention form mind, just sayin’ ? Other results have gone in your favour tonight, you could have gone third, some might call that careless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot beat a shower of shyte like Boro at home, you're going to be doing well to stay top 6. Threw 4 points away this week with MWall away almost in the bag too. Need a big response against Wednesday. Draw might be alright but could do with winning after the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Was having a read about maranakis earlier. Had the drugs charge, the refs home being burned down, the current match fixing charge, rumours of a ref getting beaten up last year. Either its no smoke and all that or someone has it in for him Wonder which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
