Aguero banned for three games (updated)

For me he threw his arm back in annoyance with the intent of giving Reid a smack - yes he may have missed, and yes he's usually a very honest & lovely bloke on the pitch but he reacted to Reid holding him in a way that is quite simply a bannable offence in my eyes. If I'd seen an opposition player do that I'd expect the same result (yes I know this isn't always the case). So I'm of the opinion that I can only really blame Aguero for this, although if the ref has lied about seeing it then it's also very poor on his behalf no doubt.

Having said that, have some faith in Iheanacho guys, big loss having no Aguero but we have a very good back up player to come in remember who can cause havoc of his own. Big chance for the lad to show what he's all about. If we get a win away in Trafford without our "star" player that will be some statement.
 
We've been here before with Mario, Adebayor and even swp. Always trial by media .

Consistency is all we ask - let's see how often this happens to Rooney or elbows himself . They get away with it all the time . Let's see where the media spot light falls in future .

Think we all know the answer though. Brushed under the carpet with that bomb and the foxes drugs .

And one more this - shit bag lying cvnt of a ref - coward

Watch the Rooney elbow at Wigan and Fellani on Zaba.

No charges. Far more contact and intent.

Consistent? Fucking funny you.
 
Right decision in the end, not sure why we appealed because saying the ref is shit, which may be right, isn't an adequate defence.

We'll beat that lot without him so will be even sweeter.
 
Not really sure that anybody is surprised by the decision - this is entirely standard for the FA and their inept officials.

Despite the massive inconsistencies of similar offences being ignored , once the Rag loving media got involved, the outcome was inevitable .

And therein lies the problem, the FA are not known for having a consistent bone in their proverbial. I agree no corruption but a definite bias, Utd players get away with murder and have done so for years - A one match ban would have been the right compromise. How many of us have seen Rooney berate the referee a few inches from his face with foul and abusive language, caught on TV, only to get away with it? Either way we will be fine, and I suspect Pep will revert to pan B,C, D or E in his absence. It's great having a top manager isn't it.
 
Fully deserves the ban and he can blame no one but himself for doing it. That said, it proves just how incompetent Marriner is when he can't see something that is 5-10 yards away from him without any obstructions.

What does annoy me most is the lack of consistency in things like this. Lamela v Liverpool on Saturday gets away with an eye gouge which shows that it's just trial by media as always. If you weren't watching the game, you probably wouldn't even know what he'd done. Haven't seen it anywhere in the media since it happened. Aguero on the other hand is everywhere.

We're still more than capable of beating them lot without him. Thought he had a quiet game against West Ham yet we still created several chances. Don't think he'll start Kelechi, more likely to go with Sterling/Nolito and play without a striker.
 
how many on video watch from now on every single fucking game united play and that **** fellaini who does this every single game i seen him play
manchester city should be be right on it and come down on the media but bet your life skysport/bbc will not use any video replays to hurt united this season
 
So the next time the usual suspects gob off obscenities in the ref's face, will he be able to say he didn't hear it?
 
Its an absolute sickener and the inconsistency infuriates but I have no doubt Pep, based on Agueros fitness record, will be well prepared for this eventuality.

Hopefully this sense of injustice will galvanise the team and as fans make victory even sweeter
 
Like others have posted, inevitable. Outcome might be right but the FA make rules up as it suits.

Which is exactly the problem. We have seen Costa get away with incidents this season, and Fellaini, Rooney plenty of times in previous seasons.
