City Vs Spuds Post Match Discussion thread

Why wasn't Ledley King sent off.

Bobby couldn't find his cards. Must have been in his other coat.

It´s a straight red by the letter of the law

Sadly the FA do nothing to instill consistency in interpretation
You simply don´t know what will happen from one game and one ref to the next

A total fookin shambles

I bet the ''he shouldn't have been on the pitch to take the penalty'' argument will be trotted out shortly.

commentators said it at the time

Craig Burley seems determined to have Lescott and and Mario banned. Could have done with that twat commentating when Evra elbowed Micah in the cup game.

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

Look on the bright side; Edin will get a run in the side when Mario's inevitable ban kicks in.

:(

Tevez will be back by then ;)

Why wasn't Ledley King sent off.

And that would have changed what, we won and we have no reason to complain when Balotelli clearly tries to stamp of Scott Parker. But as they say, winning ugly is a sign of champions

Fuck me, someone is smiling down on us, after they got it back to 2-2 I thought we were going to throw it away, brilliant result.

Watch the meeja go nuts about the stamp now though, not intentional IMO....cant say the same for Lescott :o

It could have been "typical city" but wasn't.

Mind you what other club could be 3-0 and one red card down against spurs and come back to win 4-3?

 

[CELTICRORY]

Delighted

SkySports News replay now of the Balo incident 10 times an hour in slow motion with body experts on discussing how his body shouldn't have made that movement until Balo rightfully gets the 9 game ban he deserves... it's a fuckin joke.

Parker should have already been off the pitch for a booking for his "tackle" on Richards in which Souness said it was a fine challenge, despite the fact that he takes Richards out with his trailing leg yet all Webb does is smile about it. Then (before aswell) and after that, he takes player after player out (Silva from behind at least once) yet it takes him til about 6 tackles before he's finally booked.

Then we have Walker throwing Balo down and doesn't even get a warning, Balo does nothing on Assou-Ekotto and gets a yellow... for his first challenge.

For me the incident with Balo and Parker was nothing, and no point does Balo's face or head look down, he's spinning whilst falling and tries to stay on his feet. To show it umpteen times in slow motion and have Neville say he should get retrospective action is a complete joke. Then to have Souness say that Webb shoudn't be a referee if he's not deeming that a red when you look at recent tackles that have got away scott free... but there's no media bias against City after all is there?!?

Balo will get a 3 game ban for that now, as SkySports will ensure that the FA do it by speaking about it as often as possible.

I am fucking buzzin!

 

[baldybouncer]

We're just a dirty, cheating, lucky, shit team, don't deserve to win anything and should not be allowed into any European competition for 10 years!

That'll save you all from reading the meeja shit for the next few days.

so what if the ref missed the "stamp" its about time we got a big decision in a game. if savic hadn't made that mistake, spurs would have been out of the game completely. well chuffed not celebrated a goal like that in a long time. great result against a top in form side, without vinnie and yaya. hope arsenal win now to shut the media up for a week. but no doubt the big talking point tomorrow will be mario. red ronnie and brazil on talkshite will have a field day. FUCK THE LOT OF YOU!!!!!! CTID
