Aguero banned for three games (updated)

[JoeMercer'sWay]

it'll be like this all season unless Pep gets us playing so well that the system can't even stop us, or another dossier finds it way into the relevant hands. The way United and co. have started out this season makes me think it's going to be like 2011/12 all over again with us battling to just keep in touch with their antics. No matter how well we've played we've never been allowed to get away in a season, even our best years have seen us just doing that to keep in touch with somebody else getting all the favours.

No, City imposed their own punishment but then the FA threw the book at him with an 8 game ban. If it was a 'clear' case of violent conduct no City fan would be complaining but anyone can see it was anything but clear cut which makes the fact the FA panel had a unanimous decision astonishing. Basically Sergio is unable to protect himself when being clattered by a 6ft 4 defender. It is a complete and utter joke.

Last season we had the Spurs 'offside' when we were flying at the start of a season, now it's a ban for our main striker. Disgusting.

Give over. He threw a fucking elbow with the intention of hurting someone. Forwards are well used to defenders clattering into them from behind but they don't throw elbows.

This thread is embarrassing. What others have done, what the media have said is all irrelevant. Aguero was bang out of order and rightly is banned. He should be copping it from all of us for making an idiotic mistake, not defended by any which way possible.

I'd say it was a yellow, but I wouldn't have argued too much if he got a red. What annoys me is that for a challenge which the ref clearly saw, and chose to take no action, and for which there was no contact by Aguero, the FA choose to act.

What constitues seeing an incident though?

Playing devils advocate if the referee watches the replay and believes Aguero looks at the man and then swings an elbow that could be completely different to what the referee saw in 'game time' without the benefit of slo mo and numerous camera angles.

Im not sure what is considered as seeing the incident by the FA

Of course he is lying because he protecting himself. If he never saw the actual incident the he should not be a ref as he has problems with his eyesight

He missed the west ham defender also doing foul after foul

Some may argue he does not want to send players off but that leads to inconsistency in the game.

This is the man who couldn't tell the difference between Ox-Chamberlain and Gibbs from about 5 yards away.

But he's saying he hasn't seen it because he's being told to because us having Kun in the derby is an inconvenience that the rest have found a way to get rid of.

2010/11? Certainly brought back the memories of Kompany's tackle in the Derby. The only reason that season was so close was down to refereeing and the FA. Must have been worth 6 points minimum. This will be the same again

Fuck it. Hopefully Nacho will put three past the scum and then get sent off in the last few minutes for starting a brawl with the cunts.
Onwards and upwards.

A city fan forgets we won the league in 2012.

The above was just one instance, I'd say it was worth at least 10/15 points minimum. They wouldn't have been close on merit.

I think Pep plans to play with no real striker anyway.

He bought a lot of wingers and no striker.

Although its not a new tactics I suspect Peps s in love with it.

If anything he can just throw in Iheanacho. He's more unpredictable than Aguero.

And you certainly wouldn't get a definitive answer from them anyway. There are so many inconsistencies in their actions that you have to believe that they come to the answer that they want to achieve , irrespective of what the evidence shows.

It's done so we have to deal with it.
We have plenty of options and firepower to win still.
At the end of the day we can shout its unfair all day long but Kun knows he would be taking a risk and hes been punished.
Pep will still put out an xi to win.
