Aguero banned for three games (updated)

[01cravend]

Do you think he'd get banned if he tried to punch a player but missed? Of course he would, this is no different, he has attempted to elbow someone in the face, just because he missed doesnt make it excusable. If he gets banned then so be it, Kelechi has looked good in this system and is a more than able replacement.

Im hoping his good record comes into play and its only a 1 match ban.

You're putting your hope in the wrong place.

Its violent conduct so...

Found guilty = 3 match ban.
Found not guilty = no ban.

Is there any right of appeal? If so, it might get him IN the derby, even if he gets 4 matches after that!

No, any appeal will take place before the match.

Think we will appeal it if we was going to accept the charge it would have been done yesterday surely even if we was dealing with transfers

Don't they add an extra game ban as well if your appeal is turned down?

I think that's if you appeal a red card. He's been charged and can request a hearing or just plead guilty, if he has a hearing he can (will) be found guilty, but it'll still be only 3 games I think. Don't think you can appeal after a having a hearing.

This is not a player who was running alongside another and tried to sneakily elbow his man. Aguero was getting clattered through that game and this was another example. The papers show a close-up of Aguero's elbow, but look at the context as seen by this picture. The defender comes through him with his head and arms and it's Reid who initiated the challenge. What is Aguero supposed to do? He is trying to protect himself. You can make out that he was deliberately trying to hurt his opponent, but I don't think so.

Do they actually look at ALL the evidence and is everyone concerned open to scrutiny? Surely a representative of City can ask mariner, " are you seriously suggesting that while you were stood 10-15 feet away from the players concerned and looking directly at them, you didn't see the incident? " This is the basis of the charge. It's immaterial whether there's intent or contact. The ruling is IF the ref didn't see what happened. He did. Aguero is being punished on the back of a lie.

The whole issue is not whether Sergio intended to elbow his opponent, but rather the blatant inconsistency the FA show when it comes to this kind of thing... and as we all know, Fellaini is 'Exhibit A' in all this.

It was a media witch hunt.

This is the issue. People arguing against the elbow are wearing blinkers.
