Totally agree - so he kicked a few water bottles over - big deal! Is it a case of people just using this as another excuse to have a go at him because they want rid? If things were going a bit better,people would be defending him,saying what's wrong with a bit of passion.I'll go against the general consensus here and say it's ridiculous he was sent off for kicking a ****ing water bottle carrier. No damage done in the slightest to anyone. Bruce on the other hand was being actively aggressive towards Gus
Anybody @Funky able to find out if any appeal against an FA charge has ever been successful?
Isn't the whole appeals process in this sport just a waste of time, unless you're Barcelona?
Don't even get me started on them ****s marra.I think Billy hates the MOD more![]()
I've just found Poyet's likely defence in this case. Same ref, similar incident, only differance is the right and wrongs of the incident which led to each of bottle kicking incidents which surely doesn't matter in the heat of the moment.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is to get an apology from referees chief Keith Hackett over his dismissal during the Gunners' 2-1 loss to Manchester United.
Wenger was sent to the stands by ref Mike Dean in the dying moments of Saturday's match at Old Trafford.
Fourth official Lee Probert advised Dean after Wenger kicked a water bottle following a disallowed Arsenal goal.
League Managers Association chief Richard Bevan has been told by Hackett that Wenger will receive an apology.
"I've spoken to Keith Hackett and he fully recognises the situation was an error and an apology will follow to Arsene Wenger," said Bevan.
"Lee Probert totally failed to manage the situation and created a needless pressure point taking the focus away from the pitch in a big event with only a minute to go."
Well done to Mr Hackett for condemning the decision to send off Wenger as unacceptable, unjustifiable and wrong

After his sending off, Wenger was unaware of where to go and firstly moved to the Arsenal dugout and then the main stand at Old Trafford before being ushered along the touchline to the tunnel as the game concluded.
Wenger demonstrated his frustration in the final seconds of the match when his side were denied a late equaliser when William Gallas was adjudged offside in the build up to Robin Van Persie's side-foot finish.
Wenger afterwards admitted that he had kicked the bottle not out of anger at the decision to rule out the goal but disappointment at his side's failure to get the equaliser.
Arsenal had earlier taken a first-half lead in the match courtesy of an Andriy Arshavin goal, only to see United hit back to take the lead through a Wayne Rooney penalty and an own goal from Abou Diaby.
Wenger was also unhappy with Dean's decision earlier in the match not to award his side a penalty for Darren Fletcher's untidy tackle on Arshavin.
You missed the other thing Poyet will have to saythe only difference between that and Poyet is that Poyet will have to say that he was disappointed with Rodwell getting himself carded and not angry with the ref.

A Gurdian report from this year claims the success rate is at 99% in the FA's favor in the appeals system which includes Player, manager and club.
Can't find any database of information unfortunately fella.
Wes Brown is doing all right, two out of two in fa appeals for Sunderland.
That's overturned reds innit?
I was more thinking about FA charges in particular.
I doubt they've ever back tracked but something in the back of my mind says John Terry.

Top work byron![]()
Am I the only one who thinks we're better off with him banned?
Is it a media ban too?
Depends if Taricco shares Poyet's mindset or not.
I'm not sure anyone shares it other than LVG and syphilitic chimps.
