Italians have right idea

Catania have lodged an appeal against their 2-0 defeat against Inter on Sunday, after the Italian league leaders included Marco Materazzi in their starting line-up.

Materazzi had pulled out of Italy's friendly clash with Portugal last week, but he then played for Inter just a few days later, which is against league rules in Italy.

I wonder if the Premiership would ever consider enforcing such a rule. It’s a rule that for one makes perfect sense and obviously benefits the national team, in that players are more reluctant to pull out, unlike in England.

Let’s hope that the Italian football authorities carry out on their rules.
