Aguero banned for three games (updated)

[Marvin]

Well this a proper dicks on the table move. Pep had accepted whatever happens happens. If it a principle thing then fair fucks with the funniest part being we could win it and he's injured anyway so will miss it regardless.

I know it's been reported that he's injured but I think he's just carrying a knock not a strain.

Just a quick point as this seems to have been misunderstood: This is not an appeal. We're just putting forward argument in the hearing.

it dosnt realy matter Marvin,we have been charged and not accepted the charges

We are contesting the charge and it goes to an independent panel possibly tomorrow

it goes to the so called independent panel anyway, that's the procedure, of course how independent they are remains to be seen but i'm sure the phone calls have already been made between them,and they are tucking into there steak dinner as we speak

Unfortunately they charged the process rules and are entitled to review even if the ref saw it

Ah. Thanks. That's that theory blown then.

i said earlier in the week imo aguero isn't injured he was needed at the appeal.

Maybe if the ref was looking at it he is deemed to have seen it ?

You would think that would form the basis of the defence. He's looking at it but is saying he didn't see it.

The other stuff such as inconsistency and trial by media wouldn't be a defence but I wouldn't be surprised if it's brought up.

I don't think we will win or he will get 1 match so he is out of the derby,good to see us not just roll over though

We could have just accepted the violent conduct charge and taken the ban without any hearing but we're not we're contesting it whatever way you or anyone else wants to word it.

It's a charge. A hearing. We just have some kind of argument/mitigation to put forward. Technically he could be let off without City doing anything although I don't know if that has ever happened. If you understand then fine.

IMHO the whole retrospective action process is wrong and is subject to interference by vested interests, this is a classic example of that. FIFA want the professional game to be has close to the amateur game as possible, and are not keen on retrospective action even appealing a red card, unless it's mistaken identity, this is purely an FA process. A fair process would be to review all incidents in every game, televised or not, obviously not possible so it should be left to the ref on the pitch. Let's face it, it was the only thing he got wrong on Sunday; the offside against Sergio was wrong, not booking the persistent fouling by the WHU fullback because didn't want to send him off and he crossed the ball for WHU goal. I also suspect he blew for HT when City were attacking whereas if it had been WHU he won't.

Maybe they've got the elusive Shrek elbow on Davis footage and Lamalas eyes gouging and asking where's the "retrospective action" on these two televised games?

Don't know if mentioned, but if a player pulls out of international games through injury, isn't he ineligible for his next club game?
