ssn are reporting uefa are 'looking into' the incident but as far as i can see there's nothing more they can do about it. let's hope city similarly find a way to work the forthcoming financial fair play rules to our advantage ;)

"uefa looking into it" = Personal planes and cars to ferry the job for the boys bridage to a meeting. Lunch at an expensive restaurant and probably a 15 min meeting with the outcome "nothing we can do, no rules broken".

Theres nothing wrong with it at all. These sky commentators need to calm down.<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 24, 2010 7:39 pm --<br /><br />

Three match ban required for bringing the game into disrepute. That way they miss the first two knock-out stages (if they get that far)

How is it disrepute?

I dunno what the fuss is about. Bloody genius if you ask me. If we had done this in the Europa League I would be delighted.

Hopefully they don't get an extra ban, because Real might face Man Yoo in the last 16.

It was our very own Ben Thatcher that Beckham kicked. He should have got up and chinned the preening gobshite

With the form Ronaldo is in atm the Rags would be out.

How funny would it be for the fake Ronaldo to smash in a hat trick at the swamp too.

Wonder if I can get some odds on that?

Love how everyone is against it on here, yet if we did it, it wouldn't be a problem.

i was pleased they got sent off for timewasting, now lets have the same in our league, birmingham last week were a disgrace, its cheating and i wish that ref was in the prem.

I like it if City did this in Europa i'd be happy and half of you guys would be delighted.

Under these cirmcumstances, dunno! I would expect a hefty fine and possibly UEFA having the red cards rescinded and they would still be on one yellow card, and if they did that I'd say it was fair because it's just gamesmanship to the extreme and I hate this kind of shit!

How on Earth could they possibly enforce something like this? What rules have been broken? None. How can they prove it was done on purpose? They can't. Case closed.

I really don't see the problem with it. I'd be pissed off if City DIDN'T do this in the same situation.
