Born2Bru Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) On Twitter, from Official PerthSaints on Frid evening. http://www.fifa.com/...6444/index.html "The Turkish club Eskisehirspor, whose nomination was proposed by the supporters of Scottish club St Johnstone following a Europa League second qualifying round tie. During the game in Turkey, a St Johnstone player became injured as Eskisehirspor went on the attack. This attack resulted in a corner, but as it had come about when the opposition were down to ten men, Dede of Eskisehirspor gave the ball back to St Johnstone." I am sure many fans will remember this as we were shouting at the ref to stop the game. Dede actually just kicked the ball over the bye-line. I don't know who instigated this nomination, but good on you. Edited December 22, 2012 by Born2Bru eseses and McD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1962 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 This was discussed on here and I wrote to Fifa to fund out about nominations. I wrote about this incident and the relationship that had developed between the clubs and supporters and mentioned the videos people had posted. I didn't make it to Turkey although I saw the game so had to go on what people had said and the videos people had posted. I got a reply but they were asking for lots of evidence which I wasn't able to easily get so I thought that was the end of it. Not sure if me writing was considered a nomination or if someone else made some sort if an official nomination but if if it was my e mail it was a We are Perth nomination. eseses and Born2Bru 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born2Bru Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Uzbekistan Yes, I eventually found it from the FIFA website, but not on the live feed. See that Messi won Ballon d'Or for fourth time in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
