Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Isn't that assuming with have the same team and approach?

 

Yeah a 15 stone athlete deliberately performing a move even combat sports have banned is perfectly safe

 

1-0 Barca. It'e gonna be a roller coaster ride, this one!!!

 

I never said it was, it was you making the stupid assertion

 

Suarez doing the opposite of Walcott and scoring an early goal

 

Nothing stupid about what I said, but you jumped to Man Utd's defence before looking

 

You seem to be arguing the same point.

 

So?

 

Made Stirling my Fantasy captain cos of two games this week and that **** pep has dropped him!

 

Shut up you daft twat

You claiming a stamp on the head was somehow less dangerous than an elbow was solely driven by your bile spewing United bitterness, nothing more nothing less. As you've just further demonstrated lol

 

I just want #consistency but even when banning both players the FA need to be seen to favour Man Utd

 

Like they did with Ibrahimovic's stamp?

 

****ing same.

 

Its got **** all to do with bias, you could claim bias if they didn't charge Zlatan.

What the **** does it matter to United that Mings got a bigger ban?

A 3 match ban for an elbow is standard

 

A 3 match ban for a stamp is also standard

Has anyone been given a straight 5 match ban before, or are the FA just making things up as they go after Zlatan was caught #bangtorights by every media outlet on the planet?

It matters because Man Utd, and every kid in the country, has been told by the FA they deliberate violent conduct retaliation is more tolerable than something that may have been accidental.

It matters to Man Utd because now every headline leads with "Mings banned for 5 games for stamping Zlatan" which their sponsors are very happy about.

 

Didn't Ben Thatcher get a 7 match ban or something for his elbow on Mendes? Though accepted that was closer to assault than any other elbow I've seen on a football pitch.

 

Accidental

Stopped reading there, go give your head a wobble and let the bile subside mate

 

That was a forearm smash and he was lucky not get ****ing arrested for it

 

If was intentional he did well to land on his head while looking the opposite direction and being pushed by Rooney

On the other hand there is zero reasonable doubt over the elbow being intentional, so the FA making an example in this case is insane

 

2-0 game on
