A statement on Newcastle's website reads: "The charge relates to the players' reaction to the match official's decision, which saw Sunderland awarded a penalty and captain Fabricio Coloccini issued with a red card, which has since been rescinded. "The club has admitted the charge but has submitted an application for it to be reassessed due to mitigating circumstances."
More likely that they've had their arses handed to them, for the sixth time on the bounce, despite impersonating Barcelona throughout the match. Gotta be a sympathy vote in there somwhere
Define mitigating circumstances in relation to the incident: a) Schteve's hair cut b) Coloccini's lack of ability & brains c) the fact SAFC had won 5 in a row prior to this one Plenty to get aggy about tbf.
"The club has admitted the charge but has submitted an application for it to be reassessed due to mitigating circumstances." If a referee issues a red card and a mass brawl ensues, both clubs will be fined regardless of whether or not the decision was correct. Stupid behaviour anyway. No amount of jumping up and down or the stamping of feet has ever made a referee change his mind even when they`re sending the wrong player off. It simply doesn`t happen. Unless they`re pleading guilty but insane if course.
I think their argument might me that Collocini is an international player and doesn't make silly mistakes.. A bit of a ****e player if you ask me like..
How the FA came to that conclusion beats me, unless Blatter had a hand in it, what a joke this lot are.
McClaren is now claiming that Elliot had the ball in his hands before Coloccini knocked Fletcher over
I have never saw a decision like that overturned in all my life...An absolute shocker from the powers that be...Probably a donation going to the way of the panel members..
Mclaren talks in strange accents, his crowns outweigh his actual teeth, the man is in his Derby days flapper mode, bound for failure..
That has to be a misquote smug surely? For that to be the case Fletcher would have to be goal side of Elliot. Even True Geordie didn`t claim that one.
McClaren isn't a true anything so he can say what he wants. In reality he only went to Holland to schee the schex but the lasses didn't want to schee Schteve schoo fruschtrated Schteve went to the schcum..
Does he really talk like that? I`m going to have to have a listen. Haven`t bothered up to know largely because I think he`s a tit.
He only talks like that when he manages teams in Holland, he can put on any accent, the mans an iconic tongue twisting, letter writing fanny.. have a listen, the mans proper Edam here like..
Thanks for that. Had a listen. I was right. He is a tit. Love to see him in charge of a Russian team or, better still, chinese.
No kidding mate, the man is absolutely deranged ....... just watch the grinning imbecile in the clip off Sky. http://www.skysports.com/football/newcastle-vs-stoke/preview/341291
