Balotelli would make this game exciting, he would definetly clash with the man u players. As a neutral Im sad he's missing the game, for the safety of everyone, maybe its good idea he is missing this game
Because we had to appeal by 1pm the day after the game. This isn't a change in the rules or favourtism towards United; the Ferdinand situation can't be compared to Balotelli's situation because he was never sent off in the game. This meant that a panel was formed on the Monday to assess the incident, he was charged on Monday evening, given 48 hours to respond to the charge (i.e. Wednesday 6pm - 2 hours before the game) and had his hearing on the Thursday. And remember, his ban was extended because the FA recognised that United had played to the letter of the law rather than its spirit.Chippy_boy said:Just got in from work so sorry if I have missed this...
But why on earth have we appealed already??? Now the FA will meet tomorrow and turn down the appeal. 100% guaranteed.
I seem to remember duck face appealed on the day of the City - United Carling Cup game, thereby guaranteeing he played in the game and the appeal had to be heard afterwards. His appeal was turned down, but the damage was done and he played in the game.
Why aren't we appealing tomorrow or Wednesday???
clubfoot said:All media outlets are reporting he/city have accepted the red card and are only appealing the length of the ban. As we are not appealing the red card, Balo won't get a 4th game ban as it's not frivolous.
So it's either going to be a 1 or 3 game ban

There is no conspiracy; that's the standard procedure when a referee misses something and the FA decide to charge the player, and this is the standard procedure when a player is sent off and wants to appeal ahead of a midweek fixture.
