Patrice Evra has lost his appeal to overturn a 5 match international ban imposed by the French Football Federation for his part in France’s shambolic World Cup stint.
“The Appeals High Commission, which met today to consider the appeal by the player Patrice Evra, has decided to confirm the five-match sanction for non-selection by Team France,” said a statement on the FFF official website.
Evra has already missed two games for his country and if the ban doesn’t include friendlies, our left-back wouldn’t be able to play until June 2011.
Of course I’m disappointed for him because clearly, after being named captain over the summer, the national team is important to him. But from our perspective, the decision to uphold the ban is very good news indeed.

pack your blue white and red bag and never return paddy
Evra will might not play for France all season? Good news. For us of course. I feel for Pat.
good news for us
*Evra might not*
Damn my typos…
A deserved ban. However unhappy the players were the strike was out of order. Good for united though. Evra is one of the best in his position so we need him fresh. He also plays over 5
games every season
*50*

**YAWN**
sorry off topic, but anyone got a link to the reseves game?
Ha. Derserved my arse. You cannot give some players an 18 game, some a 5 and some not at all regardless if he was Captain. Anyway could not give a fuck. Just chuffed Evra is fully concentrated on United. Is it really till June 2011? That is fantastic.
Is anyone REALLY surprised at the strike? Domenech is a fucking idiot.
Great news!
Ah the French, at least they have won something. Feel they will be rebuilding for years from this. Sad to say, Pat isn’t as strong a shoe in as the future United Captain as I think he let himself down a bit with this mess. Still, United>France.

anderson sees to have hurt his right leg
he’s limping around the pitch
but he’s still on so maybe its not as bad it could be
CQ sacked as Portugal boss.
Willie
I seen that – would you say Mickey P is worried??
Also Anderson Off With his right Leg
well off ith his whole body
but off because of his Left leg
(why i kept writing right is down to been tired/watching tv/lech beer)
looks like Ando has twisted his ankle, shouldn’t be too serious
GHTT – I don’t think Mickey Phelan will be worried tbh, I personally don’t Querioz back at United, he’s walked out twice now and Mickey P and Rene are doing a good job, keep the status quo i say.
Get in MNU 2 SC 0
Anderson seem’s to be walking okay at the end.
Is ando ok? Should we be worried his ligaments have gone again? Sorry but I’m unable to watch the reserve game! Also anyone got any news on rio? I thought he would be in the lineup tonight?
To hell with the France NT, this is great news for us.
It seems that the anti-UTD bias comes along as part of the “FA” – Engish or French. And the frogs are doing just great without Patrice, too. NOT.
Oh, excuse me, they beat the Faroe Islands or Lichtenstein or some other powerhouse. Laurent Blanc doesn’t look so good.
On a related note, it seems that there is a groundswell to give the Ingerland captain’s arm-band to StevieGBH. I like and support that idea – maybe it will help Rio wake up, smell the coffee, and realize that the club pays his wages.
Brilliant that will be another 50 plus season for United. Merci FFF.
Gud news 4 utd,more breakes 4him.
We love you at United, Pat..forget Les Blues for now.
Ando injured again?
Alleged;y Ando hopped over a fence after the game so looks fine. Morrison had a decent game, full of tricks and a good brain.
denton – Yeah the love for Stevie me is frankly sickening. All these cunts saying how Ingerlund IS Stevie and so on. Do me a favour, the man is a cunt.
I feel sorry for Fabio. Unless Evra has (knock on wood) injury, he’ll only probably have 4-5 EPL games this season.
