Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Hope Atletico win the final. They deserve it after knocking out Barca and Bayern. They get a lot of stick but there is no team in this mediorce PL, i'd fancy to do that.

Can't see the PL teams having much of an impact at the sharp end of the CL next year either.
It will be the 3 spanish giants and Bayern again with the likes of Juve and PSG challenging them. Maybe City can challenge again under Pep but its still a big IF, for them to qualify.

Dembele gets 6 games

Eye gouging is #officially 40% less serious than biting

 

ahhh no.... suarez racist abuse of the guy who called his sister a whore got 8 games so as demeble never bit anyone or called anyone racist names 6 matches is reasonable.

lets be fair the nibble was a 3rd offense at 10 games.

 

Your allocation for the Uefa final is going to be around 10,000. What an absolute joke! Who makes these stupid decisions.

 

It's a small ground and these finals always have a massive allocation for the corporate ****ers who miss the 2nd half having their lunch.

It will be like when Celtic played in Seville in 2003. 10 thousand in the ground and another 50 thousand partying in the city.

 

It was made two years ago...by amongst others Michel Platinum, no doubt he got a few Swiss Francs to add to his FIFA backhander.

 

3rd?

Since when does the FA take bans from other seasons in other leagues into account?

Never.

 

The FA makes decisions like a manic depressive. That's my understanding anyway, you just never know what the hell they are going to rock up with!

 

Their decisions hinge too much on what the media & supporters think of actions, in my opinion. I'd rather be nibbled by Suarez than have someone attempt to gouge my eye out or make a leg breaking tackle, but the ban for Suarez was considerably longer than any of the other offences, for some reason.

The worst thing with the Suarez case was that he was found guilty on the "balance of probability", its a ****ing disgrace that we are convicting people as racists based on probabilities. If you're making huge accusations like this you've got to have substantial evidence behind your claim, not some he said she said bullshit.

 

It's all about the he said she said bullshit, or so a man called Fred once told me

 

Classic old school song Just listened to it because I hadn't heard it in so long

 

So do you think john terry was unjustly banned seeing he was cleared innocent in the court of law?

 

He never had a leg to stand on Bobby, the court decide their verdict based on the context but the FA banned him for the words he used no matter the context and tbf he hung himself as far as the FA were concerned because he admitted using those words on a football pitch.

 

Since he was caught clearly on camera saying those words, I suspect not.

 

Huge game tomorrow!

Boro v Brighton. Winner takes all in race for Prem football next year.

Cmon the Seagulls!

 

Didnt suarez admit to saying those words though? But the argument was that he didnt mean it in that way and the fa deemed it to be racist?

 

Yes he said a word that is perfectly acceptable in the language he was speaking but sounded similar to a word that is racist in another language

As opposed to Ferdinand who was caught flat out typing racist insults in the internet but the FA (who themselves were caught sending racist emails) decided that wasn't important (and neither were their emails)

 

Well considering the fact banned suarez for 8 games for supposedly repeatedly saying something purely on the word of era while terry did it on camera and had Rio ferdinand on his case.. well 4 games.

Suarez admitted saying in Spanish a word describing a small guy of colored race once... of course Johnny big balls commolli hung his own player by claiming he knew fluent Spanish and went in the dressing room for the ref so he could get it all written down... so.... the fa took eras word as commolli and the lawyers then told suarez to say something else on person and the fa panel went great... the ref report and this guy doesn't add up.

Lesson? Don't be a fool like all those guys on cop shows. Say nothing and get a lawyer.

Clearly the courts didn't see one word as enough for their rule but shock the fa can have their own rules to govern their own game so if being harsh "SAVED" the say no campaign... it's worth it.

Both guys got their. Who ****ing cares at this point. Terry avoided the worst of hodgson era and extended his career to snag a title.

Suarez got his big dream move

Why should we sit here and worry about it.

Fingers dembele got a decent ban... poch has been shown as small time with his whine.... so all good.

 

Yeah but ferdinand is allowed to in the pc world. Only those called white and establishment are at fault.

As long of course as the are not at the top.
