Fiorentina sack Delio Rossi
Oh s*** :blink: I know one Finnish ice hokey coach who was sacked from Russian KHL team for bullying players, and then about year later the same team hired him back :huh:

A few months ago, I applied for Le Mans accreditation. A few weeks back, I got this email from ACO
We have taken note of your accreditation request for (MY NAME) for the 24 HEURES DU MANS 2012 which is recorded on our accreditation website.
However, your file is incomplete, thank you for sending us the missing parts within 10 days. After this deadline your accreditation will be refused:

=> Requests must be on publication’s or agency’s headed notepaper, must bear the director’s or editor’s handsigned signature, bearing the name and the first name of the people to accredit together with their job title.

=> The photocopy of their 2012 press card

=> For the media having already covered the event: send by E-MAIL or POST the photocopies or originals of the articles / photos / web pages of the 2011 edition.
=> Websites should provide statistics of the previous year (12 months).
=> If applying for the first time: send us by POST an original copy of the publication.

YOU HAVE 10 DAYS TO SEND US
THE MISSING DOCUMENTS

ANY LATE OR INCOMPLETE APPLICATION FORMS

.
So, I emailed back (albeit quite late) saying that as we are web, we can't exactly send stuff in the post. Ie, help.

Today, I get the same email as above sent back.

Seriously, f*** ACO. There's a Mini festival at Brands the same weekend :thumbsup:

I hope this game won't affect them negatively against Chelsea.

Go Bayern :D

Manchester City did it in the most dramatic way with 2 goals in extra time. Unbelieveble.

0:0 at half time. Not that surprising. I 'll blame Gomez if Bayern loses this game :zz:

Bayern was well and truly robbed. Bad football financed by Russia oil got away with the title. Cruel world!

Robben made Netherlands lose the final of WC. He was the reason behind the disappointment of Bayern. Useless player, they should fire him.

Gomez? Is that a player really? he can't control the ball :zz:

Di Mateo: Coach of the year. I am happy for him.

I don't get the 'Bayern were robbed' attitude. Defending is equally as important as attacking. Robben stuffed his penalty, Gomez missed several sitters, Olic missed a glorious chance. They had no strategy against Chelsea.

It isn't the prettiest football, not by far. But just because it isn't the Barcelona tiki-taka doesn't mean it's bad football. On the night, Chelsea deserved it.

Chelsea didn't even defend well, just look at the tremendous amount of chances Bayern had. The whole game was under control right from the beginning. Chelsea's offense was a joke and suffered from the Catenaccio. They had no chances at all and were lucky to score after their only corner.

Since 2001 no German team has won an international title, despite standing in a World Cup final (2002), an European Championship final (2008) & three Champions League finals (2002;2010;2012). Just one chance left in 2012...
