Motd2 accepting it was a red but urging the fa to rescind the 3 match ban as it wasn't intentional????

Wtf
I think that's reasonable. Offences with intent to hurt an opponent should be treated more seriously. The decision is the correct one. A straight red, but I do think it was a genuine attempt to play the ball so I can see an argument that the rules should treat deliberate intent more seriously.

Obviously if city are the guilty part, then we don't get this suggestion in the media, but that's a different discussion. There's still some merit in the argument

Totally agree with what you have said Marvin but if the ruling is a three match ban for dangerous play then that's what it is until there is a change in the rule.

I agree - the rules have to be applied until such a time as they are changed.

Evidence of what i said immediately after the incident. Sky and the rest have set the narrative in an attempt to sway the FA and let him off his 3 game ban.

They run the fucking game in this country!
 
No mention yet of our 10 game unbeaten run collecting 27 premier league points?
To be honest, I don't want the fuckers to mention it either.

They can wank Mourinho off all they want, and leave us to get on with business.
 
Oh make no mistake laserblue they see it, why it's so hard to accept or understand a ruling about dangerouse play just makes me think that it's only wrong when it does not fall within the script. Besides it deflected the result and hammering to one of the money earning elete for the media. They seem to conveniantly forget, that we had Walker sent of in a first half two weeks prior and played brilliantly for the rest of the game.
That's the other major point they're all ignoring, glad you mentioned it.
We, with 10 men for the same amount of time, didn't concede and in fact scored against one of the top 7 contenders. But we have a terrible weak defence apparently.

It can really get me down listening and watching the bias bile being spewed from the rank, dank holes that filling the media.

Best way to deal with the bollox is to just win everything, every trophy and then tell them to shove their interviews up their arses.

Completely agree with this. I'm very comfortable with the anti-City media narrative. The worse they are, the better we must be doing.

I'll be more worried/bothered when the slimy cockroaches start blowing smoke up our arses like they do the rags and Team Sky.
 
Does Mane have some weird affliction which affects his peripheral vision??

We've all played the game of football at some level, and whilst you might be running and looking at the ball, you know exactly where the opposing players are! Mane knew Ederson was coming, he could see the ball was high and 50/50, and should have backed off. Red card all day long.
Or just gone for it with his head.
 
I agree - the rules have to be applied until such a time as they are changed.
One rule change that I would like to see is if a player has to substituted due to an injury arising out of a red card offence (as happened with Ederson yesterday) then it shouldn't be counted as one of his team's three substitutions.
It's a squad game more than ever now but (again to use yesterday's example) City's tactical options off the bench were limited through Liverpool's foul play.
I know it didn't make any difference yesterday (unless your name is Ben Foden and you were hoping for a late debut) but it might in another, closer game.

A three game ban in 100% correct and what it should be. The difference being, had that been intentional he'd be looking at a huge ban, far longer than the standard 3 games, as it would have been one of the dirtiest fouls in history
 
BBC can`t get their facts right.............sloppy journalism

"Brazilian Ederson later posted a photo on social media of himself making a thumbs up gesture, with a dressing covering a cut on the right side of his face."

The image is a reverse image, he actually had a dressing covering the left hand side of his face. The fact that his club badge is back to front might have been a clue.

What we've learnt from the media this week:

1) A middle fingered gesture is just witty banter.

2) It's ok to kick someone in the head.

I wonder how many kids will get excluded from school when they start emulating the actions of their role models and how far they will get by quoting the media pundits in their mitigating circumstances statements.
 
It's fast getting to the point where I can't bring myself to read articles about us in the papers or watch us on TV.

It's becoming so blatant that I don't even think the media try to hide their detestation for us. It's become open season to vilify our club at every opportunity, with the media looking for anything and everything to try and show us in a negative light.

For starters they have taken a dislike to Pep, they call him arrogant because he refuses to change his philosophy on how the game should be played. Do the media show such venom towards those who coach and instill anti football, such as BFS, Pulis and Special Needs, do they go for the jugular of other players who behave badly off the field, as they have with Raheem, who incidentally hasnt really done anything wrong, do they have an obsession and fixation to see any of the other so called top six fail like they do with us. The simple answer is no.

It seems like there is some form of Masonic organisation in football that media and pundits all seem to be paid up members off. They daren't speak ill of the vermin, red dippers, the North London alleged big two and Chelsea to an extent. Even managers of the smaller, lesser Premier League teams seem to be involved and suck up to this idealisation, again Pulis and BFS had their tongues that far up bacon faces arse they could taste his breakfast. GPC was happy to play the role of father figure to managers of clubs who were no threat to him, but showed utter contempt to those teams and managers who had the ordasity to rival the scum.

You might ask where I'm going with this but I think it's a type of conditioning, which whiskey nose implemented with his sheer arrogance and like the pied piper carrying a full bag from Threshers he had all the media and pundit rats happily following behind him fearful of going against what he says

Not in my lifetime was his famous quote, which really did come back to bite him on his arse. A change in power took place that glorious day and that was the start of the witch hunt against a club that in all honesty, has loyal, fair and honest fans, good stable ownership, some of the finest players in the world, good community links and basically an overall set up that is second to none.

So why the hatred, simply because they think they have too in order to keep their positions in the media. The sooner we achieve a period of continual success the sooner this will change, as the Scouse and Rag pundits will be replaced by our first generation of retired players, who I hope will we address the balance

Not having this accident business. Mane jumped up & then kicked his leg above head high. Edders is 6 ft 3 & Mane 5ft 9 ish.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Sod a three match ban or even reduced, give him 10 & a written warning.

Never ever dippers fault, media now saying our man ducked into it !! Like suarez accidental cannibalism.

Agree but only if need to sub goalie, otherwise feigning of injury will take place

What he was doing was trying to flick the ball over ederson, aiming to either score or get clattered for an Ederson red. It'd be impressive intent for him to kick Ederson in the face whilst looking at the ball the entire time.

The media will always be the media. Nothing will change because a large percentage of human beings are, and will always be brain dead and believe the stuff they read. And the media know that full well.

Good Post
For what it is worth I watched with no volume and will continue in that vain, was lovely
 
For me, all this media tosh was created by Nevill and his comment about feeling sorry with what he described as harsh on Mane. Totally giving no thought to Ederson or how he was when his head, could have ended up in row Z of the South stand. The media then jump on Nevill's band wagon to detract from the hammering the Dippers were subjected to end off, and it worked.
