Re: Is it true Aguero can't be banned?
Aguero will be banned for 3 matches and, putting aside all City related bias, you really can't argue with that. It was late, it was 2 footed, and he knew what he was doing. A shame really as it's completely out of character for him. At least the 3 match ban won't involve the Final, even if he isn't banned in time for Wigan on Wednesday it'll still be over before we play them again at Wembley.
Somethign that seems to be being completely glossed over in the media attanetion is the catalyst for Aguero's lunge, Luiz quite clearly throws an elbow into Aguero's chest, and it clearly hits him. There's no excusing Aguero's response, and he deserves to be punished for it, but if we're using "trial by TV" for retrospective punishment then Foy simply HAS to also retrospectively punish Luiz. He threw an elbow, it's as clear as day on the replay that's what he did. Intentionally aiming an elbow at an opponent is a red card offence.
