Does the window close at 6pm tomorrow?

6pm tuesday I think.

 

[Chuggy12]

6pm tuesday I think.

Is it not the usual midnight then? I usually enjoy seeing the last second deals get done just before midnight

 

[footychick]

It was usually 11 as far as I remember.
Hope we get more in by the end of the window.

Yes you are right. Keep forgetting it's bank holiday today

 

[BensGrandad]

I read it as The UK is 6pm Tuesday due to Bank Holiday but Europe is midnight Monday.

 

[Farehamseagull]

re-read my quote
the handball was gamesmanship
he was definitely taking drugs while playing in the USA world cup .............the mans an absolute cheat

As others have said the drugs didn't help his football. He was just spectacularly gifted, a joy to watch and the greatest footballer of all time until Messi came along.

Ooh, I opened a can of worms here didn't I? I recognise that Maradona was a gifted footballer, but anyone that has to resort to cheating to win cannot be called great.

 

[glasfryn]

Maradona was my first real footballing hero, alongside Garry Nelson.

my footballing hero's
Jonny Giles and Jonny Haynes both of who I saw live Haynes just once at a ripe old age.............they did not need any stimulants to play football other than just that to play football

EDIT
both could put a ball on a sixpence from the other side of the pitch

Taking cocaine and ephedrine didn't enhance Maradona's skill with a football.

and that makes what difference
all other sportsmen and women go through drugs tests and get banned and shunned if found to be taking drugs.
he is a cheat even without the drugs
I am afraid we must agree to disagree on this one

He is the greatest. He handballed it once.

He did go through drug tests. He tested positive for cocaine and was banned for over a year.

Plenty of players have had alcohol problems. Does that make them cheats?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Oh well, that's ok then. He only cheated once, so let's put the guy on a pedestal and worship him .

You said he took stimulants to play football. He was taking stimulants to have a good time. If anything they would have harmed his ability.

Sky doing the same with Henry the cheat.
