Carroll's ban upheld

[Sigh]

So, what is this 'right test' that WHU refer to?

You'd have to ask them, but for the record I think it should have been rescinded and Flores punished for either the headlock before the incident and the play-acting following it, especially the play-acting, it's a scourge on the game.

It's Flores' arm under Carroll's jaw around his neck that still bothers me. He doesn't put his full weight there, but uses it to let himself down easier, putting weight in a forbidden area. Or is the neck now fair game? We're all lads, right? Sure, sure. If there's one part of my body you'd better not even come close to it's my neck, oh, and my eyes. You are guaranteed an immediate reaction. Thing is, as it's happening in a flash, what is Carroll supposed to think? "It's okay, he's using my neck as a lever but is going easy on me, I'll let it pass." I can well understand his reaction and frankly I think he did well to control himself. I'd have snapped and, in the sight of the angels, embarrassed myself. I wish I was an angel and not a man. Lots of angels on this thread.

The only good point Allardice says is that it should of been a foul on Carroll just before the incident and Web let that go...

As my dad says, two wrong don't make a right.

Just because Carroll was fouled moments earlier, it doesn't give him the privilege of thumping someone in retaliation, especially when the ref, who happens to be one of our best - except where the rags are concerned, of course - is only metres away and looking directly at you.

''thumping'' !!!

he stretched his f*cking arm, to prevent him getting past, a foul at best.

He made zero contact and caught a strand of his f*cking hair. howard webb sent him off because he wrongly got conned into thinking carroll punched chico's face

we'll find out the decision about half 5/6 tonight

If Carroll had caught Flores as he intended, he would have thumped him. It's all very well looking at it through your claret-tinted specs, Mark, but the intent was clearly visible on Carroll's face.

And this isn't an anti-West Ham opinion. If Flores had done it to Carroll, my view would still be the same.

I never had any doubt that the ban would be overturned.

Failed anyway.

 

[Sigh]

Failed anyway.

That a new name for the FA?

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Which was a more clear refereeing error the Carroll one or the Danny Rose one against us? The fuckers just make it up as they go along.

 

[nijinsky's fetlocks]

Failed anyway.

Good.
'West Ham accept this decision' - like you had a choice, you cockney whingebags.
They should have banned Nolan as well, just for being Nolan.

They should have banned Nolan as well, just for being Nolan.

And ban Allardyce from existing.

What a waste of time and money.

Well, West Ham's money, as the FA has been awarded costs.

I agree.... never a red card... yellow for the carelessness...
Seems a strange statement that... 'correct test'

I third that - not a red card for me either. Does he get a 4 game ban as it was appealed and failed or just the three?
