Aguero banned for three games (updated)

More to the point, surely we have some footage of our own that proves mariner was looking directly at it, and couldn't possibly, as he's claimed, have "missed the incident"

Might not help Sergio in this instance, but it would prove Marriner to be a total liar, and surely call into severe question his credibility to do the job in the future, as a result
We have our own cameras placed all over the stadium in a variety of angles to aid coaching. Maybe one of them helps us?
 
No intention no connection no ban -if there is justice in this trial by media of an on the ball incident perfectly in the ref's sight. In any case yellow card to Reid for simulation and a second yellow for connecting his hand on Kun's face.

Rags are shiteing cunts.
 
It is an incident that happens in every game. I accidentally broke a centre back's nose once. He was pulling and trying to get his arm across me. I yanked away using my arms as leverage. Forearm caught him. I didn't intend to hit him but it is a contact sport.
Reid spends half his life grappling and in this case Sergio is trying to pull away from Reid's fouling. No intent. Anyone who has played knows this.

That's my take on it too; prior to the challenge Reid was trying to wrestle with Aguero
 
Anyone else think it looks like he went to handball it and caught Reid in the mush with his forearm?

Reid made far too much of it as well, should be ashamed, and all this pretending to be injured needs punishing as well.
 
The club have access to film that we don't. I suspect the act of throwing the elbow is indefensible. However as mooted a few pages back, the integrity of the ref is to be brought into question. I sincerely hope we have a close up of a WH player asking the ref about an elbow and him replying that he saw it and was accidental.
That would be fantastic and really show the cunts up.

Maybe Bilic is making Read appear and tell the truth on the moving contact spot.
 
Anyone who's played the game will know that if you get pushed from behind your arms will instinctively go up to stay on your feet. Quite clear that is what happened here, plus, from front on, you can see there is very little if any contact with Reid. Clearly Reid's play acting doesn't help with perception of what's happened.

There are so many other angles why Aguero should get off this trumped up charge.

You got blue tinted specs on there.. Know what you mean though, there was an element of play acting there was an element of just swinging his arm blindly and he didn't even hit in the face. Hope it is all taken into account

When it's the verdict?
 
What was most telling for me is that no West Ham Player or touchline staff or crowd appealed at the time and play carried on without reaction until Reid went to ground.
So IMO it was a coming together with no violent conduct charge to answer.
The most I would accept as justified would be yellow cards for each of Aquero and Reid for grappling and that would still be harsh on Sergio as Reid was the initial aggressor.

That is bang on as well and a great point. You can tell by the players reactions for virtually all flash points. There was nothing from the Wham players.
 
If this was ibrahimovic involved in exactly the same circumstances I'm sure 99% of this board would be demanding a 3 match ban. I can't see him getting off as it would completely undermine the referee. Apart from the United game we won't miss him too much, so it could be worse.
