Midfield off the ball talisman Gary Speed is free to start next season as his red card is now only a booking. Fans of the powerhouse star can marvel at his off the ball prowess from the very off now!

That's great news.
Speed is a key player for us, and we want as many first-line players as possible available for the beginning of the season in the hope of getting off to a good start that could set up a much more successful season than of late.

......forgot to say that I'm really amazed that his sending off has been rescinded. This shows a semblance of common sense at long last from the FA.

I'm amazed as well, it's not like the FA to do anything right...

Does that mean they should re-draw the fair play thingie?

There are a few things they should change with football rules.

The main one for me is the offside rule with the "interfering with play" bit.

How the hell is a linesman supposed to know if they are interfering with play? The rules should go back to the old way - scrap the interfering bit.

Clarky, that's depressing - Speed is a key player for us where in any other team he's just be a squad player.
