    They didn't step down in defiance of La Liga and Spain!  I just noticed what you said there...  Where did you get that from?

    They stepped down because as far as they were concerned they thought the sanctions should've been meaningless and that the club in defiance SHOULDN'T have played the game anyway.  They resigned because the rest of the board decided to play the game.

    Two high ranking directors at the board resigned yesterday for letting the game go ahead...  The vice president Carles Vilarrubí and the head for education at FCB, Jordi Monés.  They were wrong to let the game go ahead only because of the amount of people that were injured but for no other reason!  Football has no importance when things like these happened.  But the club is not a hypocrite for going ahead with the game because they were threatened from various centralist sectors with all sorts of sanctions ranging from either playing the rest of the season's domestic games behind closed doors which as you can appreciate would destroy the club to actually being suspended from playing in all domestic games (La Liga and Copa del Rey) for six months.  The club had no choice but to play the game!

    i got lost here, i was assuming that they did it due to rebellion of some sort.

    The club is 118 years of age, about to be 119 years and two years in 119 of one individual using the entity for his own future political career has NOTHING whatsoever to do with what the club has stood for throughout its history.

    Plus you seem to have failed to read the reasons as to why the game eventually went ahead...

    Read again and tell me seriously what FC Barcelona should've done!

     

    yes, i've read it, sorry for the late reply for it.    it's nice of them to have stepped down in defiance of La Liga and Spain.

    I have to edit my previous comment...  Under Joan Laporta's tenure, he as an individual used the club as a political voice and he was censured for it by the members amongst other things.  I edit this because I said AT NO MOMENT in the club's history, but I forgot Laporta had gone mental in his final two years as president.

    i'm glad you mentioned that one coz i was about to talk about it.    Yes, that's the "era" i was talking about that the Club has a sort of political stand or political representation.

     

    anyhow, for the sake of everyone involved, i just hope that the Spanish Government will try it's best to mend this tension against Catalunya ....  i should go to the politics section.

    i think everyone deplores the sheer brutality the police showed to citizens. Humans, actually. It's detestable the actions they showed. But this picture does nothing to add to your argument because of the fact everyone knows they acted out of order. 

    what i'm trying to convey here is "unity".   The votes are out, not official coz some of the Ballots were confiscated, but it's a very strong 90% Vote for YES.    I know the game has already been played, nothing more i could do, but still, they should have shown ( the Club ) that they are behind/supporting this Independence Referendum. 

    i posted that photo out of sheer anger,  i'm utterly disgusted to what they did to that old woman.  ( i should have posted that on the thread in the politics section )

    The club didn't want to go ahead with the game, but La Liga and Las Palmas did. In the end, the game HAD to go ahead or Las Palmas would have been given the 3-0 win.

     

    Get over it. You just wish it didn't happen so that Barcelona lost 3 points and your bottle job of a team would have a chance of clawing their way back into the race. It must be embarrassing at the moment for Real Madrid to have one of their so called strongest sides ever, yet be 7 points behind a "team in crisis who are heavily relying on one player".

     

    honestly man, i don't really care about where Madrid is at at the table.     My statement doesn't stem from me being a Madrid fan, i'm just a fan, nothing more.      People got hurt, this photo alone says it all

    i'm sure that injury comes from a blow from a policeman.     it's a sad day.

     

    @SirBalon  ... i understand what you mean that football is not related to any political issue, but this is FC Barcelona, we all know what this Club stands for in Catalunya.

     

    if they wanted Independence at it's truest form, then FC Barcelona should have lead by example by going against the demands of La Liga.

  6. i know you guys will hate me for this.     But Barcelona  was a disgrace when they opted to still play the game, even if closed doors, against Las Palmas.    The Club is a hypocrite.    The people of Catalunya has been brewing for years and for months ( for this Polls ) and we've already seen violence from the Police against the people days before the Vote.   And on the Day of the Vote, total chaos, police brutality at it's peak, the elderly and children and women aren't spared.    And yet,  FC Barcelona - the symbol of Catalan was afraid to get stripped 6 points if they didn't play.       Why ???

    Well the Spanish constitutional courts yesterday declared the referendum illegal. So under that ruling and considering what this government is all about, they won’t respect anything that comes out of it.

    I’ll say this though... The central government are shooting themselves in the foot. Had they accepted it two years ago, it’d be done and dusted now because the known majority then was to remain. Another issue the Spanish government have is that if it were to go through and voted for independence. Then other regions with as much if not even more right would go for it too. 

    yeah.   many will follow suit and spain will crack open and fall into ruins.

    so, basically, all this hassle and demonstrations and elections/votings will be all for naught ??   What's next for the people of Catalunya after october 1 ???

    Cannabis told you how it is mate! xD Although I don’t have the chippy anymore. >:(

    Anyway... It’s totally off topic ajd very political. But seeing as Spanish football goes along those lines, I can answer you.

    Indeed there is at the moment a big uprising amongst the people of Catalonia. But not only there, but also in many parts of Spain because here we’re talking democracy and the will of the people which is something I completely stand by.

    The poll inquests done over time suggest that a majority (if one at all) would favour remaining within the Spanish state. But we can’t underestimate everything that’s been going on in the past months with the way the central government led by Mariano Rajoy have been doing things and in general dealing with the issues in Catalonia.

    Because of that last paragraph I wouldn’t know or be able to predict an outcome. But rest assured that ot would throw Spain and the whole of Europe into disarray. 

    However... The important factor here is football and as things stand, Barcelona would automatically be expelled from La Liga because of how the constitution is set. The constitution is infact what the government are basing itself on to brand any seperatist referendum as illegal and they’re right by law although wrong ethically. Barça and all the Catalan clubs would have to find a league to accept them (France have volunteered) or make do with a mini league of their own which would eventually destroy FC Barcelona as would Ligue 1. 

    yeah, i've read that the Spanish government has declared that this Poll is illegal and cops are confiscating stuffs.

    but catalunya will still go on with the Polls, would Spain respect the votings ?? or will it be another failed attempt for independence ??

    Who told you 90% of Catalans will vote for independence?  It's actually fairly even split with infact remaining being the more inclined to come out in the end.

    All the same...  They won't be able to play in La Liga under the present constitutional rules and unless they're changed, they'll have to look for a new home if independence were to hypothetically be activated.  I for one would ignore them if that happens and I'll look at my options after then.

    well sorry but i only read the news and most them are confident that majority will opt for an independence.   been reading the effects of the break up on an economical stand point ..    but you're the one who's in spain, so, you're more reliable.

  10. for me this is the one that killed the excitement of formula one - this one rule -----

     

    • Teams are not permitted to add or remove fuel from a car during a race. In other occasions during the weekend they may refuel cars but only in their respective garages, and only at a rate of 0.8 litres per second.

    during the era of hill/villeneuve/schumacher/mika/montoya/alonso ........... the cars are driven to their full potential.    and i don't really cared if the overtaking during those times can be done mostly during pit stops, but it's very exciting to see how much fuel they put against the opposition and how they play out their strategies.      Right now, it's really boring.    all you need to do is to tune in to the last 15 laps of the race and that's it.   Unlike before ( discount year 2002 and 2004 where Ferrari dominated ) when you can't take your eyes off the screen coz you never know what will happen

    Whomever the best is player is changes like the eb and flow of the tide.  Yes, Modric is the best... for now. Who is to say that in six months Iniesta goes through an unreal revitalisation and drags Barcelona to success? Or that someone new doesn't usurp that title?  For instance: overall I'd pick Messi; right now I'd pick Cristiano. Perhaps in six months I'd choose Zlatan or even Morata.

    exactly.   that's how sports goes.   as what michael schumacher has said  " ti's like a wheel, sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down"  ............ 

    just out of the blue .... this would be my all time 11 ..

    Gk - Kahn

    defense -   Roberto Carlos - Franz Beckenbauer - Fernando Hierro - Cafu

    midfield - Zico - Zidane - Cruyff - Chris Ronaldo

    forward - Pele - Batistuta

     

    my Best 11 of the last 10 years ..

    GK - Casillas

    defense - Lahm - Terry - Chiellini - Marcelo

    midfield - Xavi - chris ronaldo - Gerrard - Lampard
