Aguero banned for three games (updated)

The video evidence isn't conclusive so it's not frivolous

Also means he will be fit for the derby if available otherwise doubt they'd have bothered to contest it

Or he's out for at least 4 games regardless hence nothing to lose. Hopefully your suggestion.
 
Just showed it again on sky sports although Sergio goes back with his elbow it brushes past reids cheek with no contact for me,but it's the intent which will see him banned not even if he hasn't caught him,but stranger things have happened so let's wait and see..
 
Delighted we are appealing. I presume the club asked Aguero if he intended to elbow or lash out at Reid and he responded that he didn't...which is what I believe I've seen....i.e. normal on the ball tussling that when slowed down can look wrong. I'd imagine too that Aguero is sickened by Reid's over reaction. (reminds me of RVP's public letter - what a tool!)

I'd prefer to lose and have an extra 1 game ban than to roll over.

I'd not be so principled if we had a final in the next 4 games though. :-)
 
It doesn't have to be conclusive to be frivolous.
'Conclusive' and 'frivolous' are both at their discretion.

It would be interesting to know the percentage of successful appeals / challenges.

Fuck me can't see how we are going to win this,but there you go,if they reject his appeal will it be four game ban? Anyhow fair play if they think they can win this,the uproar it would cause if aguero did win the appeal especially from rags haha..
And he wasn't fit for the derby !!!
 
There must be something in the rules that has made us go for it. Given the referees position, maybe our argument would be they might as well bring in video refs if they arent going to go with a refs decision from point blank range.

It wont be a frivolous appeal either, as that would be something along the lines of us only appealing so the ruling would be after the United game, meaning he could play... which wont be the case here.
