He is getting 3 games without a doubt imo and the contesting is just our way of telling them they are cunts with us no doubt using the opportunity to ask for an explanation as to why they are able to overlook several instances of elbows being used whilst bringing cases against certain players and clubs so readily, especially on the back of what was a trial by media. I would also hope they ask that Marriner is kept away from our games for a while the blind/dishonest fucker!
Deserves to be banned but how many have the Rags got away with? Fucking elbow central over there.
I'd love us to get away with it on a technical and he bangs a last min winner in.
so what is the rule ??
i always through when you put in appeal they can increase the punishment
(With his elbow and the ref misses it)
There's probably still more posts about it on redcafe.125 pages! Good Lord, we've seen our arses over this. Christ, if he gets a ban this could end up bigger than the Isco thread....
What are you on about man. It is a legitimate appeal which may not be successful but if it is, it does not follow that some kind of crusade to stop City winning the league will ensue.I think Aguero will still get banned, and the Prem will just fuck us over to the nth degree in the Derby to punish us for trying to actually fight their pre-prescribed plan for the whole occasion.
We should have just quietly accepted it and then battered them in the game when they'd let their guard down thinking it was won.
I think unless we've got the evidence to bring down the entire Prem unless they play ball with us, then we have to realise that they don't want us to win the league and that we have to be more clever about picking our battles.
They'll want revenge if they have to overturn this and they'll take it on in the game which is much worse.
This nipper has the angle they reviewed in post match or MOTD I think.
Around 3.25
(his negative colour scheme in the original clip actually makes for a clearer view - wonder if the FA have considered using this)
You'd think so. ONn what grounds could they give him a one match ban?It is either going to be a 3 match ban for violent conduct or no ban at all.

How exactly are they going to "fuck us over to the nth degree in the Derby" to punish us for exercising our legal rights? Are you saying that they will attempt to fix the result in the Rags favour?
Does this ..erm...work for everyone?
He went down clutching his forehead to begin with. The very same forehead he used to head the ball with 'after' the alleged incident.You've got be fucking joking?
You mean apart from the video where he clearly hits him in the throat, and then the player - without making an appeal to the referee trying to get sergio sent off - goes down holding his throat?
What physical evidence do you expect any football charge/appeal to have?
This... Just thinking about old style forwards, Jordan, Ferguson, shearer etc... They would miss three quarters of the season if they played nowadays...He went down clutching his forehead to begin with. The very same forehead he used to head the ball with 'after' the alleged incident.

It's not a bloody appeal.
