It's all over the Benfica blogsphere, but if you haven't run into it, here is a snippet of an article that the London Times ran in yesterday's edition.
Strange kind of justice
It was good to see Uefa’s tough line on FC Porto held for all of a week. Banned from the 2008-09 Champions League for trying to bribe referees in domestic matches during the 2003-04 season, Porto were as good as reinstated on Friday after the sentence was thrown out on appeal. The disciplinary committee will now review the case. And justice will surely be done for, as Michel Platini, the Uefa president, rarely tires of pronouncing, wealthy English clubs are the real cheats. Maybe Manchester United should spend less on players and more on referees.
Friend Blog Benfica Up Front has a good post on the FPF's comical display as credible entity, in this whole case.
