Sorry mate it was you who implied we were big and you were not! by the way we are big in Manchester which is all that matters.
of course he meant it,he looked down to see where Parker was before he stamped,then pretended to been concerned
Looking at this clip, there is no doubt in my mind he wanted to kick Parker. That kick backwards before he lands is totally unnatural. The element of doubt is less than 1%. I cannot believe that City will even bother appeal on that basis. But this is no consolation to Spurs who should have been playing against 10 men and also should be 5 points behind instead of 8!
Doses anyone think the the F.A. aren't being a little bit two faced about this.After all didn't they appeal a 3 match ban for Wayne Rooney after he deliberately kicked out at an Montenegro player in 1 of the qualifing games. Saying that a 3 match ban was harsh. So how can they ever give a 3 game ban to any footbal player no matter what club he plays for, even if it is deliberate. The pharse pot, kettle black springs to mind, when dealing with the F.A.
I never mentioned the size of anyone marra. What you up to over here mate? Haven't came across many Mancs (barring in Banus last week when the match was on and I was the only non-Manc...)
MONsmush, it would still be 5 points, the difference before the game was played was 5points and we assume the game would have 2-2 which was the score when it happened.
The lad is guilty should not have kicked out, take the 4 match ban learn from it and dont do it again. But there looks to be diffrent rules after the FA to take no action with Crouch after he nearly takes Jonas Olsson eye out unbelievable.
Classic...His agent say's he could be forced out of English football because of unfair treatment.Shouldn't go stamping on peoples heads then.Just a thought. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16711526.stm
i dont think his leg movement is unnatural.. if you look at his other leg it gets tangled with parker and the momentum and movement of his body means from a balance perspective his left leg cannot do very much, instinct tells your body to get a load bearing foot onto the ground in any instance of unbalance, im still 50/50 but id give him the benefit of the doubt i think. his attention is never focused on parkers position on the ground
Kevin Radcliffe the ex everton captain said on 5live last night,any player will tell you that the stamp was deliberate
I honestly don't think that anyone who watches it a number of times would/could disagree with that...
