Should have shown a few of them yellow cards on the day. What is the point in a fine to a team as rich as City. The league should start docking points. I for a first offence, 2 for a second, etc. The teams that mass around the ref to intimidate would soon stop.
Never gonna happen mate, the main instigators carry to much power within the game these days, its like when they dish out fines to the likes of Maureen for continuous disrepute charges, the fines mean **** all to the mega millionaires. But they had to even things up because the mancs got fined for it at Chelsea.
Man Utd had 6 players surrounding, City had 2, so City will be charged £6700, or did the FA let Man Utd off yet again with a standard charge for something where the standard charge was "clearly insufficient"? BTW why have Man Utd not been charged again for the fight Carrick started in the tunnel against Middlesbrough? #bentasfuck
Only if it's a valid attempt to win the ball, which milners clearly was as he was about 2 inches from getting a toe on it, despite some pundits thinking otherwise.
If he intentionally knocked Sterling's foot millimetres away from the the ball he's a ****ing genius!
Doubt he intended it to be that close but he probably did deliberately kick his foot away from the ball.
watched the highlights and it looked like an entertaining games. firstly i was hoping you cocks would win as i had you in my ff team' my prediction league, money on a draw/win and an outright win. you ****s ****ed up 3 of those. onto the incidents: saw the youtube for yaya wouldnt have given a red personally but easily could have been. however in todays rules of the game and considering some of the reds this season he should have gone the lucky ****. no hightlight of toure on windy so cannot comment manes penalty shout from penalty. wouldnt have given it myself' otamendi is behind but more to the side and it was just one of those unfortunate incidents but could easily have been given. one of those happy if for you but unhappy against you. no penalty from me milner on sterling stonewall penalty. no contest milner yellow only in new rules of the game clichy on firmino. wouldnt have given it personally but in todays rules its a pen. clichy gets to the ball first but its a high foot on a player who has control of the ball and thats a foul anywhere else on the pitch. penalty. barcelona would have got away with it as for some of the misses incredible. lallana what a clown. aguero silva kdb and sterling all missing sitters. firmino is such a greedy cock. shooting from stupid places with the worse one right at the end where hes running away from goal and shoots well wide when he coulda crossed to lallana. also missed a pretty simple 1 on 1 draw pretty fair in the end
Fair enough on those. In regards to the clichy pen, in my opinion the pen was more for jumping into firms back. your right he does win the ball and it's possibly high foot, but what happens after is clichy just barges his body into the back of Firm which forces him down. Now if the only way he could win the ball is to jump into back of Firm then think that's a clear foul. The Toure one makes me laugh because people (not you btw) say yeah it hit him on the chest but he was laying down. Take the fact he was laying down away and stand Can up. Toures foot is knee high, studs up. If that's into his leg it's a red every day of the week, yet because Can is on the floor half sitting up its not classed as a dangerous play.
lol that is true but ****ing even the best finishers in the world would find it hard to score from where firmino shot. onto a moving ball moving away from goal from a pretty tight angle from around 15 yards away and he cant even go far post either for at least a rebound
What I found extraordinary about this, and I posted this at the time, is that @ ten minutes after Toure somehow escaped with a booking for his red card offence against Can, he then grabbed Oliver by the ****ing arm, and to such an extent that Oliver had to yank his arm away from Toure to continue after the ball. Now than, didn't this new diktat say that manhandling the ref was an instant red card, never mind another yellow that would have been a sending-off anyway? As I say, I was astounded when it happened, and the complete lack of any comment whatsoever fro Chuckle 1 and the half time punditry team doubled the apoplexy on my part, I can tell you. I'm sure Tobes was 'at the bar' (or in Barbados) when that happened too.
It was simple enough a pen, whether he touched the ball or not. Bit like saying that if you did an overhead kick from an incoming corner and kicked the ball away from an attacker's face just as he was about to head it - 'Oh that's okay, he got a touch'. FFS, Chuckle 1 just went mental there - Clichy wrapped his leg around Geronimo the get to the ball, then kicks it away from chest, and all this is done from BEHIND the player. Christ, you're not even supposed to tackle from behind someone's legs, even if you do touch the ball, never mind their torso. Complete brainfuck by Neville there, and that's without even factoring in the barge too that you refer to. As for Toure - well, as Martin Luther said, 'Here I stand': never in a ****ing month of Sundays is that not an uncontrolled, reckless lunge, and the more I see it, the less I will ever back down. Okay, he got away with it - it happens. Not my point though; what I can't take is the complete lack of analysis and criticism of the ref on the scale of the Milner- Sterling incident. It was just as pivotal to the game, and more so too, in my book.
