Aguero banned for three games (updated)

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.

It fell before the Derby, so people like Savage, Talk Sport, Sky, the gutter press go mad, and the push the FA into a corner. if they reviewed everything it would be fair but they don't. They just review what the media make into an issue, and we all know what they make into an issue. The really glaring fouls, and the incidents that benefit the armchair army they are trying to sell papers to and get listeners from etc

West Ham's goal came from the left back run and cross. A left back who should not have been on the pitch because of repeated fouling. I am not sure if Stones left the field because of his foul, but I am sure it was him who took him out. Also there was foul after foul by him on Sterling and the ref just let him go on and on.

Only saying it all starts with Aguerro himself. What you point out belongs in the agenda topic.
 
Just because others haven't been punished in the past it doesn't excuse Sergio. He's nobody but himself to blame, you can try and convince yourself it's not worthy of a ban if you want but i guarantee you'd think differently if it wasn't a City player. Inconsistency is a problem but not a reason why he should of got away with it.
Nail on head
 
The point is the referee clearly saw the incident and deemed no action should be taken, that should be the end of it. If the ref got it wrong then he needs educating perhaps improving his decision making. If we are to now analyse the decision even where it is clear the officials saw the incident then we may as well introduce replays during the game.

I fully understand retrospective action if the officials did not see the incident.
 
In fairness to marriner, if he did see it and decided no action, the media witchhunt since left him with a choice of claim ignorance and carry on or say no offence and be dragged through the shit with us. While he did take the weak option, i can see why he would say that
 
As fellini knows it's starts with himself. Difference is he also knows there's not a cat in hells chance he'll be carded let alone banned via TV.

Mariner knew exactly what he was doing.

Exactly this. It's the complete double standards, and what if Sergio didn't mean to elbow him? If he did, he did a pretty shabby job so much so that the referee didn't even see it despite looking right at the incident.
 
I just feel this should be one match ban.

3 is so excessive, not arsed about the rules. Deserving of ban, was careless. Unlike him.

I've seen two-footed challenges with more malice, and intent, and injury given yellow cards and not looked at again.
