This is a bantam-brained league and middle-heavyweight brains simply cannot be tolerated. 2) They infringed the foreign player limitation rule by fielding 3 Sassenachs. This rule must be enforced rigidly or before you know it hordes of highly-opinionated Czech ladies already massing on our easternmost borders according to my satellite will muscle their way in drinking our hard-earned beer and taking all the plum QM jobs which are our children's heritage (if we are sober enough to have any of course).
