Translated from Arabic using google translate:- Recruitment prevents Mido from attending the "consolation" substantial Recruitment conditions caused prevent striker Ahmed Hossam Mido former Zamalek and English club Barnsley, to attend the funeral Mahmoud El Gohary former head coach of the national team. He asked one of the masses, Mido through his own account on the social networking site "Twitter" about the possibility of his presence from England to participate in the funeral of the fundamental yesterday or solace tomorrow, Mido responded that if he came to Egypt at this time will not be able Mgardtha only after reaching the age of thirty. The 29-year-old Mido, is scheduled to be thirty-General on 23 February next year, and thus His presence to Cairo will prevent him from being with his English club for a period of 6 months full. =========================================== Maybe its just me, but is this last bit saying that if he goes back to Egypt before he's 30 he cannot come back to England for 6 months??? Earlier it seems to be saying there's some clause in his contract which is preventing him from going to Egypt for a funeral?? Anyone any the wiser!
To paraphrase.... Mido would have loved to gone to his mates funeral in Eygpt where he could have porked out with impunity on as many shwarmas, mataboks and fallafels as he could stuff down. But that also he has found solace in 8 Ginsters a day washed down with 6 pints of (Halal) Guiness. PBUH....
