Re: City not appealing....

no...4 as 2nd red of season.

fair play to didi hamann,being interviewed as i type saying the fa are victimising mario and that any other player it wouldnt have been mentioned.

i think he means minus the cup game its only 9 league points to play for without mario ..... i think anyway

yeah thats what i meant.

1 cc game and 3 league.

To be fair, you did say 3 league games.

I think losing Mario for 4 games leaving only Sergio and Dzeko available is slightly worrying. I suppose we can revert to 4-5-1 for a couple of games though.

Re: City not appealing....

He didn't say we were definitely going to take the ban did he? I took it as him just pointing out that the possible extra match was a factor they had to consider.

you are quite correct..heading edited

To be honest he was waffling so much around the subject it was difficult to work out exactly what he was getting at.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

He'll miss tomorrow presumably which, given the way they are and Atkinson is the ref, is no bad thing. Then Everton away, where they'd kick lumps out of him, Fulham at home, which we should be able to manage without him then Villa away, which is the only game where he could be a loss.

Every league game from now is more important than a league cup semi, so take the hit and move on. Mario hasn't exactly shone against the Dippers so far this season in any event, and would be in danger of being sent off again, by fair means or foul

This may seem niave but couldn't the decision to appeal be based on the truth? Mancini asks Balo if he intended to stamp? If the answer is 'yes', we shut up and get on with it. If the answer is No we fight it all the way. A mans reputation is at stake and I'd rather a decision on appealing be based on what actually happened rather than tactics (ie which matches are preferable to miss)

I've read some stuff on this forum but this?

Re: City not appealing....

How feckin daft is that? (anouncing that we wont appeal)!

Even if we are not, we have until 6pm tomorrow to decide FFS.

We should have kept quiet and left Liverpool wondering if he might play!

Sometimes the mind boggles!

We was never going to appeal i think most of us know that and if we know that then so do Lverpool - it wont change Daglish team maybe change a little how they play

Dont think Ballo was ever going to play against Pool anyway

Alternatively could be a double bluff?

 

[samharris]

So that means that Mario has admitted it then ??

cos if not then I say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to City.. Marios reputation is worth more than an extra game ban..

Re: City not appealing....

only 3 league games then isn't it?

we can cope.

fuck the FArce.

It's an appealing proposition but has anyone got a fifty foot bargepole and a tanker of Domestos!
