[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1089087, member: 74121"] It's the length of time spent outside of Spain in one qualifying year that matters in the case of the Saffa VDB who wanted to play for Spain. I think the limit was 60 days but due to the season in Spain being shorter than Tier1 he spent 127 days away in one year. In part because at no point did anyone in the Spanish union tell the poor fellow there was any such rule. If the Spanish union pursue this argument (which I've not personally seen confirmation of), it's like comparing apples with pears as VDB was disqualified on far firmer grounds. I don't see it having any bearing on Tier1 sides (due to the longer domestic seasons and more professional unions) but flagged it up for interest. On a purely personal standpoint I'd reiterate I don't have the slightest issue with any of these guys qualifying on residency. [/QUOTE]
