Bird hasn't been convicted of anything yet - the other two have been. HTH.

SL is on the decline for now on in with players like Carney, Bird and Croker been refused visa’s. People will stop watching the game over here for that alone. No longer are we a league where anyone can join - a working class league that is full of forgiveness and sorrow.

We are a snobby league that only accepts those who manage to keep a clean slate from childbirth to SL. This of course doesn’t apply to certain British players. But things have now changed for the worse.

no, but the fact he has a court case looming over him would give some indication that the application would be rejected pending the result of said court case.
