No more Sevilla or Getafe matches sounds perfect.

No but there's footage of it now. Marca are saying he's throwing himself up as opposed to her picking him up, but it doesn't really matter. The fact that Rubiales camp are latching on to that part in attempt to discredit her is just a distraction from the kiss. None of what preceded it gave him permission to do that.

They are obviously real. But there is a chance that all this was part of some elaborate sexual fantasy enactment. Therefore we can't judge what happened and should remain silent.
Is this supposed to be funny? Because it's not

The Spanish FA bit is even more ridiculous cause it's all to protect a single dude. No Spanish sides to play international football just to protect a single guy no-one outside the FA's executive cadre seems to like. It's beyond ridiculous really - how important can any single person think they are?

I agree - it's all a sideshow but just interesting as some were accusing of doctored images etc which seems not to be the case

Imagine being Bellingham or whoever, moving to Madrid in order to win the champions league only to find out your entire league has abandoned Europe all cos some feckless suit you've never met doesn't understand consent

Could imagine there would be more lawsuits!

And maybe it would push more men's teams/players to take a stand

He must have dirt on them. To me that is the only explanation that makes any sense.

It’s in Motril.
Told my wife when we stopped off there that Motril is the place you retire to if don’t save your money. A right tip of a place, compared to Nerja, etc.
You are not wrong! :lol:
It is on the way between Malaga and Granada, but that’s about all there is to say about it.

That seems unfair, tripadvisor says the 2nd top attraction there is the pre-industrial museum of the sugar cane. And a random vineyard is #1

I dunno, I think it's more about not bending to a mob calling for someones head, whoever that someone is.

And the standard keeps on falling.
You don't know what my views are on the whole situation. We probably agree more than we disagree. Silly of you to make a post like that without knowing what my view is on the whole situation.

I thought I was bad!
You are.

Lads, feel free to engage me in a discussion rather than make silly posts like these. Sounds like you've already made up your minds though.
