Re: Week 45: Bratislava, Slovakia

I can't understand Slovak, but I guess this news says Martinak and Klizan will receive a WC. Also they mention Karol Beck(his suspension ends 31 October), Capkovic, Stancik and Semjan, maybe one WC to one of them (no mention to Ivo Klec) or they have WC to qualies

You're right, Mertinak & Klizan receive a WC.

I don't know when Beck's suspension is ending but they're saying that he should let them know wheter he wants to play by 31st October.

Hm.. Grow up man. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour

And I don't think using the word 'Gay' as an insult is particularly appropriate either; and comes across as rather an uneducated judgement.

Evidently getting 1 1/2 hours sleep and nursing a headache doesn't improve ones quality of posting on MTF..
