Drugs in football - 100% libel free

[Clampy]

Total waste of time. Zero revelations of interest.

And the host came across as a bit of an arse as well.

Media - all image, no content. What a shabby programme.

Love it!

Watched it when I knew it was one of Small Heath players being done for taking the Colombian marching powder I just thought I would have to take drugs to play for that lot.

I was struck by the difference in the interpretation of the term, 'inconclusive'.  It was used in the letters to the FA from the professor in charge of the labs which processed the tests. 

He said that his expectation after he wrote this in a report was that more tests would be carried out on the player concerned for him to come to a definite conclusion. However, it seems that the FA read 'inconclusive' as 'That's all right then, nothing happening here, move on,' and didn't follow up at all.

It couldn't really be that daft, could it?  Players getting away with it because of a misinterpretation of a word?

Young men loads of cash time on hands and party lifestyles ......... Are we really suprised

[Malandro]

I'll give anyone £100 if they can prove that the England team has been taking performance enhancing drugs.

[UsualSuspect]

C4 are reporting that the player is Garry O'Connor whilst at Blues- if he is the "top player" then I'm disappointed. The programme also showed Eck talking about him being off due to having an operation. To me this reflected badly on Eck. It could be argued he was a bare faced liar.

I agree

I thought it reflected badly on Mcleish but surprisingly those wearing the ginger specs on here fail to see it because daring to critisize a manager who lied about one of his players being injured because of a drugs ban means that you are not a real supporter.

[Chris Smith]

Was Graham Taylor equally wrong then for lying about Paul MGrath when he was absent for being pissed or receiving treatment for his addiction?

I reckon 99% of managers would do all they could to protect their player in similar circumstances.

You guys watch the Buck house thing too?

[Ger Regan]

It would be easier to take some people's opinions at face value if it wasn't clear that they have agendas of their own.

As Chris said, I don't think you'd have many people on here criticising Taylor for how he handled McGrath, so why all of a sudden is McLeish in the wrong for (presumably, nobody really knows) trying to protect a troubled player?

[Simon Ward]

I'll give anyone £100 if they can prove that the England team has been taking performance enhancing drugs.

OR Emile Heskey?

That turn of phrase always makes me smile too. Very Fox News-esque. "Well I'm not calling him a liar, but it could be argued that he is".

[Meanwood Villa]

Turned off halfway through having found nothing of any interest up to that point. Comments about the presenter spot on, it was very Brass Eye at times.

[Mac]

Total waste of time. Zero revelations of interest.

YESTERDAY:

Should be worth watching.

I bet you it isn't.  It'll be "isn't it shocking" but fail to deliver names.  Which surely is the point of this.

Another thing that's corrupt in our game.
