Aguero banned for three games (updated)

The ref has to give permission for the trainers to come on the pitch.
How can he say he hasn't seen it and then let the trainers on treat an injury ?
 
The conclusions of the mini meeting held in Cheadle are as follows:-

1 He'll lose and probably get four matches but we've fired a warning shot at the FA.

2 If they fuck about with us during the derby we'll not take it lying down.

3 He probably won't be fit to play anyway.

Corrupt Bertie FA doing their best to help him put his argument forward.

Berties and their FA are shit scared of us, dreading playing us on the 10th and want Aguero to be a part of it. They won't let us win the league easy lads, you can me sure of that. It's going to stink, stink like stunk at the end of last season when Berties were given all decisions in their favour to help them qualify for 4th. Can't have baldy in the Europa, can we?

Their having mini meetings in Stockport reading through the rule books and finding out ways to change the rules so elbows can put in a solid appeal and avoid the ban.

Bertie cnuts.

Yes love it ,you can smell the fear!we don't need serge anyway to beat them ,we've got to much for them.kelechi will give it em.
 
city are just not going to appeal for appeals sake, there is something that we have taken apart with this and it's odds on we will win the case with whatever it is otherwise the ban would be accepted and we move on,we have some very clever people down at city who are paid a fortune to defend these type of cases, i'm pretty confident with this one
 
Might be wide of the mark but maybe the FA felt like they had to be seen to be doing something cos of all the media frenzy... And now an 'independent panel' will be given the job of clearing him but the FA can say it's not their decision

We must have some good lawyers or whoever fight these charges if we're appealing?

On the contrary. I could appeal and win this case. The rule (if correctly quoted on here) says they can only review off the ball incidents. This wasn't an off the ball incident, so it should never have gone to a charge.
 
It's being discussed on radio 5 now. Sam visits and Henry winter reckon that city are contesting it by taking advantage of a "loophole" whereby if the ref "saw" the incident then no retrospective action can be taken.

get your point but what is an off the ball incident and where is the line crossed, the ball was coming down on the pair of them seconds before the incident began to take place, i would say it was an on the ball incident by comparison to the rooney elbow when he ran up to the player and did what he did

Same.

I've been telling rags that from one angle aguero didn't elbow Reid and that the ref did see it but we all know how they are..
 
Handbags being swung and bitterness seeping out everywhere on ragcafe as we speak. Ringleader VanGaalEra coming out with some proper corkers on there. Bravo petal you're doing a grand job.
 
With regards to the referee seeing or not seeing it, won't they just claim the ref was ball watching and not looking at the elbow? Yeah, that's incompetent refereeing, but it may actually be what happened. Just because his head was pointing in that direction doesn't mean he saw it. If my eyes are focused on a pair of enormous breasts, I certainly did not see the jewellery on her wrist, for example. I just think they have an easy get-out.

Quite right.

The regulations also say that they can only review it if the ref didn't see it. He clearly did see it, so in law, there is no case to answer.

Anyone who has spent any time in court will tell you that a lot of defences are based around the police not following procedure.

If this was an independent legal hearing in front of a judge I'm very confident we'd win this appeal. As it is in front of an "independent commission" probably chaired by David Gill, I'm not so sure.

As a former referee, I would be watching the players in this scenario, already knowing where the ball is going to be a split second later. The ball is in my peripheral vision and it isn't about to do anything out of character. This is exactly what Marriner does.

The other point about proving he was watching the players is less strong in my view, because he could easily say Sergio's arm was restricted from his view, or another lame excuse. But I still think the charge should not have been made in the first place, and I think we will win.

On the other hand, if Sergio had been sent off at the time, there would have been no complaints from most of us.
