Sweet F.A.
Funny how so soon after my post on disgraceful footballers another football story emerges as if to provide back-up.
Here it’s not just footballers but the very organisation which runs the sport, the F.A.
Ashley Sestanovich was a member of Grays Athletic who play in the Blue Square Premier League. He’s not currently able to play as he is being detained at Her Majesty’s pleasure whilst serving 8 years for conspiracy to rob.
Sestanovich tipped off two illegal immigrants that 11 grand would be at a roofing company. The cash wasn’t there & a 42-year-old father of a newborn was shot, he died 7 months later.
Where does the F.A. come in? They kindly agreed with the player’s appeal against Grays Athletic’s refusal to pay him after his arrest. The club has been fined £500 & told to pay Sestanovich £14,000 within 2 weeks or the club will be banned from the league.
Club chairman, Mick Woodward, said the club would not be paying the money to someone who attended 3 training sessions & played 20 minutes of a pre-season friendly due to being involved in a ‘heinous crime’. He offered to pay the £14,000 "wages" to the victim’s family but the F.A. are enforcing their decision.
If this is not yet another reason to switch support from football to another sport, I don’t know what is.
The F.A.? a bloody disgrace.

I agree with you on this subject but may I take it a step further.
The people I hate even more are the daughters of the rich, for instance, Paris Hilton and Tara Plamer Tomkinson.
They have never worked in their lives, never got their pretty little hands dirty,never had to worry about paying the bills.
They just go through life as if it was an honour for us to enjoy thier company.
They are a waste of space.
I would swear,but not on your blog site.
I hate these people.

I saw Sestanovich play a few years ago in the lower division and the boy back then was overated (came from Sheff Utd on Loan) so to be honest it wasnt a surprise to see his name in this story. It just goes to show that common sense has been completely eradicated from all walks of life. Things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get even the slightest bit better.
