Good Morning Everyone, I know the biting incident has already been covered but I would like to touch upon Leeds Utd's response to the 8 game ban. Leeds statement: "Suffice to say, however, the club is disappointed with the outcome and the length of the ban given to Souleymane Doukara." IS THAT IT??? Roy Keane ended Alf Inge Haaland's career and got a 3 game ban! 18 months later he wrote a book in which he wrote that he deliberately assaulted Alfie and does not regret his actions. The league bans him for a further 5 games and a £150,000 fine (though he made millions from his book) We are talking about the organisation that 'not too many seasons ago docked us 15 points, then unprecedentedly docked us 10 more points for acting improperly during administration (to come into place at the beginning of the next season). The same organisation that banned Cellino as Chairman whilst other Chairman who similarly continue to walk a very thin line get left alone... I could go on for hours.... LUFC -GROW A PAIR AND FIGHT BACK. I dare say the Football League and FIFA have more in common than we think.
Morning all.... Cellino rattled and continues to rattle the FL's cage. You can't do that and expect them not to dish it at any opportunity. In comparison, Suarez got a 10 game ban when biting a player while playing for Liverpool.
Morning Shaks, Don't think its going to make a huge amount of difference, but have to say that the Duke is better than I thought he ws at the begining of the season.
Morning ristac, you're right there..... Suarez was really bad though. If Doukara's had been anything like as bad, we would have known about it long before
Morning all. Doukaras suspension is spot on. No place in any field for that sick carry on and I hope thats the end of his Leeds career
I have to agree, I thought the statement the club put out reflects badly on them. Should have condemned his actions in no uncertain terms and warned about his future at the club if there was ever a repeat of his behaviour
Just to lighten the mood, well it made me smile anyway... Through my work i speak to people in China daily, mostly by e-mail. They usually take a western name, and over the years there has been some unusal ones. However, today i've been introduced to "Fanny Ming", nope not an April fool
Suarez was banned for 6 months for biting. Josh Ladebie (Dagenham and Redbridge) was also banned for 6 months http://www.itv.com/news/2015-04-16/footballer-banned-for-six-months-for-biting/ Glen Rule (Stockport County) was banned for 10 games for biting Think he was lucky it wasn't more tbh!!
That wasnt Suarez first offence though, dont know about the rest. Id imagine if Doukara re offend, it would be a six month job. Doubt if itll matter. Id imagine Cellino is already working on cancelling his contract hopefully. Hed be far better suited at your gaff TC
Just seen a hoarding at the QPR ground saying "COME ON YOURs". Dirty b@st@rds these Londoners. Clayton's playing well again, wish he was still here.
