Nythän tilanne on hyvä kun noi tehdään jo valmiiks "toisella kotimaisella", eikä tarvii ruotista alkaa niitä kääntään...

/* Life Begins at 35" */

Missä muussa lajissa SUOMESSA harrastetaan englanninkielisillä säännöillä??

[TimJus]

säänöthän ovat pohjoismaiden yhteiset suomi,ruotsi,norja,islanti,tanska......sääntöjen yhteiseksi kieleksi on valittu englanti jottei tulisi käännöksistä johtuvia sääntö poikkeamia.

ja muutes suomessahan ajettiin viime vuonna ruotsin tai norjan säännöillä tai siis niiden välimuodolla.

ja jos et osaa tai kukaan kavereistasi ei osaa luke noita sääntöjä, miten meeinaat pärjätä itse kisa tapahtumassa missä ainoat suomea puhuvat ovat oma tiimi..........

Eipä varmaan tuolta "kielimuurin takaa" kukaan tosissaan
taida olla tekemässä foffi-kalustoa tiimistä puhumattakaan.
Jos ei ton vertaa kieltä osaa, jää mäkkärin hampurilainenkin
tilaamatta jo naapurikaupungissa...

En minä ole sanonut että en enkkua osaa, mutta kyllä noi säännöt pitää saada myös suomeksi.

Pitäisihän ne olla myös SÄÄNTÖKIRJASSA.
