Thanks to the intrepid investigative skills of one Kiwi Grudgeathlon fan (who, let's face it, has had sweet FA to do since the All Blacks got dumped on their arses in the RWC by the froggies), the future of the Grudgeathlon has been put in doubt following revelations that Tomas has been 'pretending' to be Czech, thus breaking Grudgeathlon rule 44b, paragraph 4, subsection 8 which states:
No competitor in the Grudgeathlon is allowed to bullshit about what country he is from.
To summarise....
The charge:
Tomas is not Czech, but Liechtensteinian.
The evidence:
Tomas is playing football for Liechtenstein, possibly the only country in the world smaller than the Czech Republic, apart from San Marino which isn't really a country at all, just an excuse to get two F1 races a year in Italy.
I quote.....
Iceland, who secured a fine win at Northern Ireland at the start of qualifying, suffered an embarrassing 3-0 away defeat to lowly Liechtenstein.
Mario Frick's first half goal put the minnows in front and they had few thoughts of sitting back on their advantage.
A late brace from Tomas Bek sealed a rare win in a competitive encounter for Liechtenstein.
Story in full
Yes, I know it's hard to believe on so many levels.
Firstly, Liechtenstein win a game, secondly Tomas can play football, and thirdly he scored, twice! (The Grudgemeister does note however, neither goal was scored with his head, so are not anywhere near the quality of the Grudgemeisters strike at Kingsbury last year!)
The process:
The Grudgeathlon appeals tribunal is looking into the matter as we speak. They are taking the charge very seriously, so seriously in fact, that they have decided to adjourn to the pub for deliberations and buy their own beer, sending the message loud and clear that Bribe Pints will not sway their deliberations on this most serious matter. Tomas has until closing time to submit the necessary paperwork, and it would be in his interest if this paperwork consisted of large quantities of unmarked notes in a brown paper satchel.
The verdict:
To be announced.......stay tuned Grudgeathlon Nation
OFFICIAL GRUDGEMEISTER VERDICT: No case to answer. Dual nationality is a true sign of genius. Welcome to the club!

Cheating 'Czech.' A fair punishment would be for him to forfeit the table football. Blindfold him for the aussie rules kick and strap a 10 kg weight on him for the swim. If anyone else has any suggestions on a suitable punishment please post.
I just couldn't believe it when I saw. The illusion was shattered. My faith in the Grudgathalon has been destroyed. I won't be able to look at Tomas Bek (if that's even his real name) in the same light again. I mean 'Lichtenstein'? Is that even a place? Sounds like some kind of bratwurst Ben would have picked up on the way to Madrid.
your faith will be restored dccg, the Grudgeathlon Judiciary panel are have moral scruples that make Jesus look like a down and out junkie selling his botty in the Hampstead Heath bogs to raise drug funds
Lichtenstein was the only country which recognized my football skills and gave me a chance to play international football. As I can hold 2 passports I dont see a problem there ASBO. Lets give you all a little geography lesson. Lichtenstein is the richest country in the world (per capita). Nobody would refuse a chance like that..Even ASBO..They wouldnt want him though..However Im sorry if I hurt anyones feelings. Let the grudge begins!!!
You can all get f**ked. Especially universities, the home office and goverment regualations. The way I see it these people want me sent home. Under grudgeathlon rules being sent home constitutes a forfeit and you win Mr Bek. How much have you paid these officials to save your arse from being humiliated.
Well, it will be nice to have you home for christmas Ben, shall I get out your stocking ready to hang out for santa to leave presents in, remember to write him a letter, but as always, let me read it first so I can check all the spelling mistakes. love mum and dad
be nice to see you in the new year, come and have a drink with us
Why dont you try and find a lady who is willing to marry you so that you can stay in the country; you have the connections from last time you tried it dont you?
