A home grown player is defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
For the purposes of this rule, the season is deemed to run from the date the first transfer window closes until the final match of the campaign.
In keeping with UEFA guidelines, an Under 21 player is defined as one who is under the age of 21 on 1st January in the year in which the season commences. For the 2010/11 campaign Under 21 players will have been born on or after 1st January 1989.
Exceptional Circumstances
The 25-man squads must be submitted to the Premier League by 5pm on the day following the close of each transfer window. For the 2010/11 season the first window will close at 6pm on 31st August and final squads must be registered by 5pm on 1st September. Before then Clubs will not be required to name their squads and may select their teams from any registered players.
While the transfer windows are open, clubs may change their squads as many times as they want. However they will only be able to make alterations outside the windows if there are exceptional circumstances and the changes are approved by the Premier League board.
For example, if a club has two out of three goalkeepers injured they may be permitted to bring in a replacement under the guidelines drawn up by a specially formed working party.
Players in the 25-man squads who go out on loan to Football League clubs may not be replaced. However they may reclaim their place on their return.
Clubs do not have to name a full squad of 25 if they do not have that many contracted players and in this instance they may add free agents outside the transfer window. However if they have 25 eligible contracted players, they must be named.
Similarly, clubs do not have to name eight home grown players if they do not have that many but that would mean operating with a reduced squad.
The system will be simple enough to administer. Clubs will register their players via an online form which automatically flags up if they have named too many players who do not qualify as Home-Grown.

The new era of Liverpool under Roy Hodgson begin with the signing of Joe Cole. The supporters were delighted with the signing and the news about it spread around the world in just 3 hours through Facebook and Tweeter. The 28-year-old has agreed a four-year deal to become Hodgson’s first signing since taking over from Rafa Benitez.
Some pundits says that Cole has past his best and some believe he can bring a spark into the Liverpool team that lacks a creativity and flair players. He is a type of player who can unlocked the tightest of defense or against the team who normally “park the bus” in the penalty box at Anfield. One of Liverpool legend, Ian Rush told LFC.TV that “Joe Cole is a wonderful player and I think he left Chelsea because he wasn’t getting a regular game”.
It seems that Cole have to give way to Gerrard who plays behind the strikers as the understanding between the the captain and Fernando Torres was absolutely terrific and Cole will be playing on the left wing. If Mascherano will be leaving Liverpool for Inter, Roy Hodgson may need to play his captain in the middle of the park alongside Aquilani/Lucas and give a free role to Cole to play just behind Torres.
Roy Hodgson first incharge game will be tonight against Grasshopper after last week game against Al-Hilal was canceled due to bad weather and maybe we will catch a glimpse of Cole tricky tonight. All Liverpool supporters will hope that this signing will be one of the many under the guidance of Roy Hodgson.

We all love to watch something be it in sports or rock bands or star shows or a concert or what the hell may be. It is really quite hard to get something to watch all this and it is nothing but the so called tickets. All these events usually happen at stadiums and they will be fully crowded always.
In olden days only one mode of ticket buying was there and it is nothing but in person buying but now the situation has changed a lot. You can buy tickets from your home through telephone or through internet. Single click from a laptop/desktop can bring the famous stadium tickets like Yankee Stadium Tickets at the door steps. You can also get famous concert tickets like U2 concert tickets from home which was considered as a big achievement previous days due to long queue in the ticket counter. Sports are also not an exception to this as Calgary Flames tickets were also made easy.
There are also some disadvantages in this in terms of money. Though online ticket booking reduces the time and makes things easy you need to pay some extra money as fees to the payment gateways or credit cards for their service as fees.

What if there was some way to tap into the ever-growing popularity of world-wide sport that could turn the gambling factor of sports betting into an investment vehicle producing sustainable results over the long-term such as equity trading?
Sports Trading was conceptualized and bridge between conventional sports betting and real-world stock trading was built.
Please note: generalizations are used in this article because sport trading exchanges can differ in nature and offerings.
What is Sports Trading?
You may immediately associate sports trading with that of card trading but until fairly recently, sports trading has taken on another exciting meaning.
Although the actual definition of sports trading may differ exactly depending on the type of exchange in question, it is essentially the act of investing in virtual sports issues or contracts (i.e. sports teams, players or markets).
Sports trading is not to be confused with sports betting (betting against a bookmaker) or some other form of fancy gambling, sports trading runs along the same investment lines as trading on a conventional stock market exchange (e.g. Wall Street).
Participants of:
- Fantasy sports games
- Stock trading simulation games
- Sports betting exchanges
will identify a commonalty with a typical sports trading exchange.Although sport trading is still somewhat dwarfed by the sports betting and real-world trading industries, there is no question of the future popularity for this concept as people from all backgrounds are coming together to trade be it virtual stocks or issues or real contracts for real money on any sports related market, offered by the online sport trading exchange.
Sports trading exchanges are developing sophisticated technology, commonly employing a proprietary trading platform and in most cases, with a Level II type trading interface.
It is typical of a global sports trading exchange to offer around-the-clock (i.e. 24/7) trading as exchange members are not inhibited with limited or set trading hours so are free trade anytime, from anyplace around the world.
Advantages over Sports Betting
Sports trading has the thrill of sports betting but without the inherit risk of gambling that sports betting produces.
Some notable advantages sport trading has over conventional sports betting are (trading exchange dependant):
- Far less risk; eliminates the ‘all or nothing’ situation
- Can still profit even from an event loss
- Capital appreciation
- Dividend income
- Not solely competing against professionals
- Greater chance of success (not limited to above reason)
- Can be invested with minimal effort
Sport trading eliminates the gambling factor associated with sports betting; traders seldom lose their total investment in a stock holding (i.e. they have the ability to trade out to prevent further loss), the sports bettor loses their entire wager with an incorrect guess.The sports trader is not competing solely against professional bookmakers whose job is to get the better of you – more often. Sport trading exchanges are about people-to-people interaction so you are pitting your skill, judgement and knowledge against fairer competition. Learn to be savvy and you end up with the edge.
Once invested, the sports trader can theoretically sit-back and monitor their investments passively; the sports bettor must normally wager every time to potentially make money and therefore, incur greater risk on each and every bet.
Advantages over conventional stock trading
Participants of stock trading already will find other useful benefits from a typical sport trading exchange such as:
- Lower trading fees due to being solely online trading
- Greater participation from a wider audience
- Not being exclusive to professionals
- Around the clock trading (no set trading sessions)
- Wider-economy independence
- Readily accessible sport information for all
- Global trading stock exchanges
The global online sport trader is conveniently afforded time-zone irrelevant trading from an online trading environment that typically does not shut for trading.With the world-wide following sport increasingly enjoys (activity is seldom subject to prevailing economic factors that affect conventional trading exchanges) and the substantial amount of publicly available information not subject to a privileged few, sport traders can finally compete on fairer terms with other traders.
Online sports trading on virtual trading exchanges provide a wonderfully unique cross over between conventional sports betting and real-world stock trading in essence; they combine many of the advantages of the two, in a single investment product.
The opportunities that exist on these virtual exchanges and the resulting advantages are too long to detail here but it is the hope of this article to spread further awareness and the investment advantages of sport trading because this is a viable form of investment worthy of promotion.

Ankle sprains are so common as the ankle muscle is one of the weakest in the entire human body. It is vital that you prevent weak ankles via strengthening exercises, even if you’re not into serious sports.
Stronger ankles simply means that you will be a lot less likely to encounter injuries down the road, and even if you do the damage will be less severe. This would result in faster recovery times also.
The most common ankle sprains are seen in sports that require sudden movements such as tennis. Other sports that require a lot of jumping can put strain on the lower leg as well and also increase the risks of ankle injury. Having strong ankles if you are into these type of sports is very important.
Studies have shown that using ankle supports such as tape, can drastically reduce the occurrences of ankle sprains. However, it’s not as simple as just getting some tape and mummifying your foot, there is a proper way to wrap your ankles in tape and if you are interested you should do some research or buy a book on how to bandage your foot the correct way.
The down sides to using ankle tapes is that the tape is not cheap and needs to be replaced ever so often. They need to be washed and dried after every use and this causes the tape to lose its effectiveness after a while as it tends to get stretched. There are alternative solutions to this though as we shall soon see.
Professional grade ankle braces are now available and although they’re quite a lot more costly than tape, you’ll never have to replace it. They are extremely comfortable to wear inside your shoe and don’t take nearly as long as tape to put on. All you have to do is slip your foot in, strap it up tight, and put on your shoe and you’re ready to go.
The Aircast and ASO ankle brace are just two of the many brands available on the market and both of these are top of the line and come in many different models for different types of sporting activities. What they all have in common is that they’re extremely quick to put on, add a much higher amount of support for your ankle and also reduce the risks of serious ankle injuries that take a long period of time to recover from.
Foot supports such as the ASO braces are important but don’t forget that you will need to also do ankle strengthening exercises such as heel lifts and rope skipping (just to name a few). Don’t only rely on the foot supports alone for your injury prevention. This is especially true if you’re serious about your sport because once you have pulled a ligament, your ankle will never be the same again.
