Alonso and Ramos (merged)

Re: Alonso and Ramos

For me this kind of thing is worse than players diving or feigning injury, it's cynicism at its worst. If UEFA have an offence along the lines of "bringing the game into disrepute" these two need charging and add 2 more matches onto the ban so they miss both legs of the knockout round.

I agree that the disciplinary system that encourages it needs sorting out too.

Re: Alonso and Ramos

UEFA are dicks. They fine someone who tried to sell their world cup vote £6k and dish out the same fine to because a goalkeeper wore the wrong shirt in match!

Last season I think they fined Mourihno £30k for not doing a post match interview, but fine a club £20k for racist chanting.

Re: Alonso and Ramos

They should get another two match ban on top of the one they've both "earned".

Couldn't stop laughing when Ramos shook the ref's hand.

Exploiting the rules is all it is. It's the fault of the rulemakers for making it possible.

Re: Alonso and Ramos

It's not the first time it's been done, although most of the time its not so blatant. Dont see a problem with it. Imagine that you'd previously picked up a yellow for a 'nothing' challenge and your next yellow would mean you'd miss a knockout game....why wouldn't you take advantage of the law ? Ref's are too quick to get their cards out these days anyway.

They could have tried to hide it by making a rash challenge on a player, but why risk injuring someone when you can get a yellow card by time wasting.
The slate should be wiped clean after the group stage anyway.

Agree. The ruling bodies always turn to the rule book when they see fit to punish teams/players and Jose is just repaying the favour.

Cynical but legal and clever.
