Guardiola fined £20,000 for wearing yellow ribbon (p140)

It’s a disgrace that the FA have charged Pep for wearing a yellow ribbon in support for Catalan independence. Funny how Fergie got away with wearing a red nose in support of comic relief for all those years.......!

Sorry for not reading all the pages, so this may have been mentioned.

So Pep is punished for a political statement, but McClean makes the biggest political statement every year - and is given special treatment to allow him to do so?

Utter clusterfuck this place.

 

[york away to this!]

Tie Pep's yellow ribbon round the FA's neck.
Pull it tight as as feck, watch them hit the deck...

Or not...

It's for kit and sponsors reasons, it is not FA approved, so they are saying he cannot wear it on the touchline, basically if they don't get sponsor cash from it ypu cannpt wear it.
Not about the politics, just that the FA get no cash from unapproved symbols, so are being arsey bellends.


Does anyone if he can wear it in non FA comp games like sunday? as it doesn't break uefa or league rules, so the EFL may not care either, just the ****s at lancaster gate

What a waste of space the FA is. Perhaps one day in the distant future they will actually break into action and do something positive to progress the sport.

I fully support Pep ... having worked in Spain in the early 80s..it was clear that their constitution is designed to shaft any meaningful vote for independence, such as we had for Scotland.....fook the FArce.... rock on Pep.. I recommend yellow for the Catalan cause or at least blue for the right of free speech...

Didn't Maureen make some negative in the press when Pep first started wearing the ribbon?, I bet he's been on the blower to Gill sticking his mardy arsed nose in.

Definitely and previously he insisted that he will not acquiesce - he's a man of principles which will embolden Catalunya even more. feck the FA
