mods, i think it appropriate that this thread has the title changed to "die Bomber Schweizer abenteuer"

Not without offending the Swiss court with such bad German.

See Slobbo has got Heppell a gig on AFL 360 while he is suspended. Jobs for the boys isn't confined to politics. Surprised Gerard Whately would have anything to do with it.

[SaberFang 7,151]

What a surprise, another mouthpiece on a News Limited product to defend the drug cheats. Pathetic and transparent.

In German thinking there's High German, Low German and Lazy German....guess who that's aimed at ?

Nein

Other than the locality of dialects , there are the 'different' Germans, sort of. There is High  German.; the formal German used in Education, documents , Law etc etc.. Then there's standard ( low ) German. Day to day German  and can vary a bit upon region. Then there is what the Germans like to call Lazy Deutsch... Here they invariably refer to what the Austrians and Swiss do to the mother tongue !! lol  Is a little how the French perceive Canadian French  (or rather Francais Canadiens !! )

 

( possibly  FATHER tongue  !!  )

All true. I was just extending the range of torpitude to certain Australian locations.

Is that Bogan German? Or perhaps der Doofuss Deutsch?

Then there's "Kinderdeutsch". Which is Dutch.

An interesting article about the CAS decision and why the players could not get a 'no significant fault' discount' ie to do so you need to admit it got into your system, which the players vehemently chose not to do. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/bombers-case-lowers-bar-for-guilty-verdict-says-athletes-advocate/news-story/e84c28265b4b4d984309394ea5c5199e

The article (inadvertently) highlights another epic fail by the player's legal team:  'The dissenting panelist is ­believed to be...appointed by the players to hear the case'.  Mr Jacobs, who has argued more than 35 cases before CAS said. “It is three arbitrators and it is generally a majority rule. So you can pick someone that you are very confident is going to go your way but, unless that person is going to be able to persuasively argue to the other arbitrators and have credibility, it is not going to help you in the long run.’’ 

This suggests the legal team again failed to understand the subtleties of how the CAS arbitration system actually works in practice.

Surely this would require AFL media accreditation which the AFL could not provide to a suspended player?

I agree with this guy. justice has not been served here!

They all should be serving a two year ban and not just ten months.
