I can honestly see this being extended to four matches. Lee will probably be banned too since we've made it so obvious it can't really be ignored. Can't see any way they'll let Bruce off though. Yes he was understandably pissed off but he's raised his hands and pushed him. Not a massive crime but the rules say it's a red card. I remember an occasion in 2008 I think when Jeremie Aliadiere of Middlesbrough gently tapped Mascherano (playing for Liverpool at the time) on the cheek and got sent off, it was extended when they appealed the ban because the appeal was seen as 'frivelous'.
he is being treated with kid gloves. i would be surprised to see Macca for the Derby game for starters. twt like. Yes he needs a break and will get one but for how long ? It should be just a one match ban for a push like that. No need to recall either. We have Faye to take over @ Derby and hopefully Macca will be back for boxing day or maybe AB will be available. I dont see either being recalled though. No. The end of the world has been cancelled apparantly. It on you tube for those who dont have tiger player access. Pretty damming stuff and proves that AB was well within his rights to do what he did. Shame that AB did not give a proper right hook to Alan Lee as Steve Bruce has been quoted as saying. Now thats well worth a 3 match ban. As it was just a push then hopefully the FA will just give a one match ban. Lee will get 3 without a doubt for that. The way you reacted over the Bruce incident was more akin to a Demented Shopper in Harrods ?
Not as many times as Shawcross got it off Fellaini (or indeed Turner did in our first year in the Prem) but they managed to keep their cool....Alex should take note!
The way that Alan Lee came out and said that he's going to get punishment purely because of his reputation rather than what happened, makes this even more laughable. I hope that when they issue the punishment to him, they make him watch that video and make him explain how that's 'self defence'. Dirty twat, he should get the same ban as Brucey.
the elbow alone shows he's not a 'whole hearted and genuine' player. put on top of that the awful play acting and to anyone with eyes, he just makes himself ridiculous.
