Unbelievable!!

I have no idea why or how but there is another African Cup of Nations tournament in January 2013. Originally due to be held in Libya but now South Africa have stepped in.
So, once again we (and others) face the prospect of losing key names for several games at a crucial part of the season.
This is an 'effing ridiculous state of affairs.... what the hell are FIFA playing at? It's bad enough holding a tournament like this during the mainsteam season every 2-4 years but to hold it in succesive seasons is just taking the pee.

i thought it was an annual event?

[BennyBoyRs]

It's every two years. The reason they are holding one next year is so as they can still do it every two years, but now to fall on an odd number year (2013, 15, 17 etc.) so as it doesn't fall in the same year as any World Cup event.

Don't panic
They have to qualify for the tournamement, Also I am sure that Hughes will ensure he has enough decent players who are not going to participate in the ACN in 2013.

Also, Vine's contract is up in June ans are a few others who are clearly not good enough for QPR anymore, i.e.Borrowdale.
