Fellaini Headbutt

[Prestwich_Blue]

Lets be honest, who amongst us us hasn't wanted to put the nut on a Stoke player at some point?

As per usual the provocateurs get away with it. In the Derby there were a couple of very sneaky elbows by Utd players trying to wind up City players.

Why didn't Moyes take Fellaini off? It was obvious he had lost it. You could say he needed his height on there, but ref had 3 chances to send him off

Wouldn't have made a scrap of difference - the 'holier than us' brigade from MotD, SSNakesTV, every sainted hack from Wapping to Fleet Street would have been emailing the FArce for a ten match ban. The same fuckers who were strangely quiet on the Rooney elbow to McCarthy's head, and the FArce episodic prostitution, trekkin' across the continent to get the FatScouseGit off a kicking charge!

Shawcross was fouling him though

Moyes is responsible for Everton's overly physical style of play

Here were two teams who add at least another 25% on every tackle. I'm surprised that Stoke City Rugby Football Club v EFC doesn't end up being abandoned 'cos they're down to six Stokies and seven Toffees. Fellaini was being grabbed, roughed up, wrestled, Shawcross two arms in a loving embrace round the Belgian's torso at every corner, and I think Marouane had just had enought of Halsey's ever-growing incompetence and decided a little home-grown was called for. But, as I pointed out on another thread, headbutted by Fellaini must be like getting headbutted by the cushion off yer sofa.

Especially as Fellani gave away a penalty against Dzeko for something similar.

Also referees have to take some of the blame here IMO. I'm not condoning what fellani has done however why do referees never punish the players who constantly leave the sly niggely challenges in.

If a player who has been kicked and wound up all game reacts and whacks someone he gets a ban and gets slated for not keeping his composure. And if he doesn't react then it goes unnoticed.

Somewhat telling that over 10,000 people have already swapped him out of their fantasy premier league teams...

I had just put the lanky twat in my team, what a waste of a transfer, and he was shit so got hardly any points.

Charged with the headbutt but ref said he saw the other two incidents and deemed them not violent....??

3 match ban - utter joke.

Dare i say,had it been Joey or Mario......

 

[citytill1die84]

Joey Barton wants to fucking complain 3 match ban is a joke.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Fantastic management by Moyes,he took the heat right out of the situation and subsequently kept the punishment down to a facical minimum.

Perspective

Barry gets a one match for swearing.....

Common assault only gets 3 matches.......

Deary me. If that had been a city player doing that, well we all know exactly what would happen
