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

[franksinatra]

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.

I thought Mclean chose not wear a poppy? Does he do something else also?

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

It took years for us to shake off the scourge of Peter Swales, but it seems like his ghost is still within the corridors of the FA. This type of pettiness carries his hallmark.

Yeah, some doddering old 'suit' will be behind this. Gill!

Fucking hell. She’s not even arsed if we win or lose but is going out tomorrow to buy some yellow ribbon for me and the boys.

Perhaps pep should choose his cup final outfit carefully. Yellow silk pantaloons as a nod to his Catalan roots, finished off with a cream blouson, tan slip-ons and a jaunty mauve cap with yellow feather.

You are all aware that Pep will not give up on this. A fine will escalate to a ban, a ban to suspension as City Manager and probably a points deduction.
The only way out is to make the FA look stupid and multiply 1 to 10s of 1000s and give Pep a way out.

Utterly pointless action by the FA. They are beyond stupid.

Its time for the fans to let the FA know what we think of them and demonstrate anti Gill placards etc

 

[york away to this!]

Perhaps we could see whether Gill actually can breathe under water...

Gill's FA under the influence of the Eye Poker try again to destabilise City as they can not do it on the pitch and have to resort to foul means off it. The timing is planned. With all the major issues the FA should be addressing they choose this one.Why?
