Visas - just the beginning? : Thu Jan 29, 2009 6:33 pm  
With the gutting news today about Crocker - it is obvious that anyone with any "previous" can forget about obtaining a visa.

OK, at least we know where we stand - we only target whiter than whites in the future.

But what about those players already here? How often are Visas renewed? Is the same criteria (ie no convictions) applied for renewal Visa applications?

Can we expect to see players already in England having to leave either part way through their contracts or being unable to renew their contracts once expired due to their Visas not being reinstated? If they've been good boys while over here does that wipe the slate clean or do all earlier convictions count even if they were not considered grounds for refusal the first time around?

My worried mind boggles...

From my point of view this stance is well over due in the UK. But will it last.? Will it be accross the board for all walks of life.?

This fine country of ours has far to many of its own criminals to cope with without extras coming in. But I fear that this will not continue.
Will Robert Downey Jr ( for example ) be refused entry next time he is going to be lorded by the great and good of the film industry.

Will Keifer Sutherland ( sp ? ) be refused entry to the UK the next time 24 is launched in the UK.?

I and no doubt others could add to that list of retrobates who have sinned around the world. Is it going to be one rule for one and one rule for the not so popular.?

How do footballers manage to get visas within hours of signing for clubs.? I think especially of those who are not world class and at the top of their chosen profession like Crocker is.

As I say if this is going to be the norm then it can only be good for the UK imo. If though its just the latest thing for the UK to do and is not the case in 6 months then its a bl00dy joke. I fear that it is likely to be proven to be a joke.

just think, half the current aussie squad have got some "previous" on their character reference whether its by belting coppers, drink driving, gettin their missus in an headlock or whatever, they will never muster up enuff goody boys to fill a tourin party again cos they simply wont be allowed to get in!!

the ashes are comin home, i tell thee :lol:

All existing and generally known ways to immortality can be divided into four catagories.
The way of the Fakir.
The way of the Monk.
The way of the Yogi.
The most honourable being 'The way of the FC'

It can be, depends on the seriousness of the offence.
