Sion hv now been docked 3 points 4 each of the 12 Swiss league & cup matches any 1 of the 6 ineligible players appeared in. They had been 3rd in the Swiss top flight with 31 points prior 2 the sanction.

Sion described the decision of the SFV as a "cowardly act''. The club hv the right 2 appeal against the sanction in the Court of Arbitration 4 Sport, & a statement released by the club following the SFV decision read as follows.

"FC Sion was informed by the press of the decision of the Central Committee of the Swiss Football Association 2 bow 2 the blackmail of FIFA & collaborate on the injustice facing the club, by pronouncing a deduction of 36 points in the Super League championship.

"Tis process condemns the team irreparably 2 relegation. Tis decision is mainly an intolerable affront 2 equity in sports, but it is no surprise 2 (Sion), who did not expect any courage on the part of the SFV in the face of FIFA.

"Considering tis cowardly act of the SFV, FC Sion is even more determined 2 defend its interests & ethics in sport of football by compliance with court decisions, both civil & sports.''

The SFV said in a statement on their official website: "The central board of the SFV has withdrawn 36 points fr Super League club FC Sion. The board has therefore met the requirements of FIFA fr December 17, 2011."

FIFA had demanded on December 17 tat "all matches in which the relevant players participated shall be declared forfeit or 3 points shall be deducted respectively".

Celtic were reinstated to the Europa League in August, & SIon hv pursued a lengthy legal action in various Swiss courts against their ban, attended the Court of Abritration 4 Sport b4 FIFA became involved & made their threats.

Platini sceptical on video technology
December 31, 2011

UEFA president Michel Platini has insisted video technology "is not 4 football'' & tat its introduction would rob the game of its popularity.

Platini's counterpart with world governing body FIFA, Sepp Blatter, has suggested technology could be introduced in time 4 the 2014 WC as his organisation continues testing possible systems.

But Platini, European football's most influential figure, reaffirmed his opposition 2 technology in an interview with France's L'Equipe magazine. "Video is not 4 football. Human (adjudication) is better,'' he said.

"Football became popular thanks 2 its human values. If tat becomes a commercial value, it will lose all its popularity.''

Technology was pushed back up the agenda when Frank Lampard's goal was disallowed in England's WC defeat 2 Germany in 2010 despite the ball clearly crossing the line. The expected benefit of technology would be 2 reduce the frequency of such incidents affecting results, but Platini argued tat is part of the game's appeal.

He made reference 2 Germany goalkeeper Toni Schumacher's awful challenge on France striker Patrick Battiston during the 2 countries' WC semi-final in 1982, in which Platini played, alongside the infamous handballs by Argentina legend Diego Maradona & France striker Thierry Henry which led 2 England's elimination fr the 1986 tournament & prevented the Republic of Ireland qualifying 4 the 2010 event.

"Football has also based its popularity on injustices,'' Platini continued. "You can remember them & talk abt them in the bars. You can talk abt 1982, France-Germany, it was an injustice like the hand of Maradona or tat of Henry. The notoriety also comes fr negative things in football.''

Sir Alex: We want to win it
February 12, 2012

ManU manager SAF insists the club will be playing 2 win the Europa League aft questions abt their desire 2 be in Europe's secondary club competition.

United were surprisingly knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage, with SAF saying tat a place in the Europa League was their punishment. UEFA president Michel Platini was angered by those comments, though SAF said they were taken the wrong way.

Now the United boss says he will be playing a strong side when the Red Devils take on Ajax in the Round of 32 tis week. It will be the 1st time the 2 sides hv ever met in a competitive match.

He said: "We definitely 1 2 win tis tournament. I am treating tis seriously. We're going 2 hv a go. The thing is 2 look 4ward 2 it. It's still European football, it's still a good standard of football.

"The great thing is tat we don't hv a game on the Saturday, so I can play my strongest team - & I will play my strongest team. It's a bit of a bonus 4 us. It's amazing tat in 55 years' involvement in Europe, we've never played each other.

"The name of Ajax still has tat aura abt it. They r not having a great time @ the moment & their directors hv resigned, but I think playing against United they'll be well motivated. Like ourselves, they hv always produced good players & played good football.

"They hv a great stadium & great pitch. Hopefully we can get thru. If we do, we play Athletic Bilbao or Lokomotiv Moscow in the next round, so tat would be a challenge, but then it takes u 2 the quarter-finals & 1s u get tat far u say 2 yourself: 'let's go the whole road'.

"I'll treat it as I treated some of the group games in the Champions League, but be a bit more careful with the number of young players I play in these games. It depends who we've got the following weekend in the Premier League."

Milan, Barca face first serious tests

AC Milan & Barcelona, having cantered untroubled thru the group stage, finally face testing opposition tis week as the Champions League resumes following a 2-month winter break.

Titleholders Barcelona, who averaged 4 goals per away game in the group stage, should find the going alot tougher when they visit Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, the scene of their last defeat in Germany.

Milan host Arsenal on Wednesday & will be painfully aware tat their last 3 participations in the tournament hv ended in the last 16 @ the hands of English Premier League opposition.

APOEL Nicosia, who visit Olympique Lyon on Tuesday, & Zenit St Petersburg, who host twice former winners Benfica in the freezing Russian winter on Wednesday, r the only newcomers 2 tis stage of the tournament.

The remaining 4 ties will be played on February 21-22.

The line-up 4 the round of 16 has a familiar look with 8 of the teams having reached the same stage last year.

France, Spain, England, Italy & Germany r represented as usual, joined by clubs fr Russia, Cyprus & Portugal, instead of Ukraine & Denmark last time around.

ManU were the only 1 of the fav who failed 2 make it past a group stage which has generally become a formality 4 the top sides with frequent 1-sided contests.

AC Milan & Barcelona faced each other in the group stage but were untroubled by Viktoria Plzen & BATE Borisov as they both qualified with 2 matches 2 spare.

Barcelona r unbeaten on their last 7 visits 2 Germany, their last defeat coming against the same opponents in the 2000-01 season.

Leverkusen, although unimpressive in the Bundesliga, won all their home games in Group E as they qualified @ the expense of Valencia.

Serie A leaders Milan lost 3-2 @ home 2 Barcelona in the group stage, with both teams having already qualified, & Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger has promised 2 follow Barca's example by attacking @ the San Siro.

"You always hv 2 push 4 a goal when u play away in the 1st leg becos it gives u a cushion 4 the 2nd leg," said the Frenchman whose side eliminated Milan @ the same stage 3 years ago & r in the last 16 4 the 12th season in a row.

"We will try 2 score, of course - we always do. The system rewards the audacious away fr home."

7-times champions Milan subsequently lost 2 ManU in 2010 & Tottenham Hotspur last year.

Benfica, with a largely South American team, r likely 2 face temperatures well below freezing when they visit Zenit St Petersburg.

The Russians may be rusty, however, as it will be their 1st competitive match since the winter break.

In the other tie, there is a vast gulf in experience betw Olympique Lyon, who r in the last 16 for the 9th time in a row, against APOEL, the 1st team fr Cyprus 2 reach tis stage.
