Kyle Walker banned for 3 CL games | appeal rejected (pg 16)

[Sir peace frog]

Someone upthread was speaking about his brainfarts and I thought, this aside, he hasn't made any in about 3 or 4 seasons. He's been our most consistent player imo. So like I said he has plenty of goodwill in the bank. Cancelo and Zinc/Ake should be good enough to get the job done.

except for the 14 pens in one game

Haha oh yeah. I block that game out for obvious reasons. What the fuck was that about.

 

[MadchesterCity]

Seems extremely harsh, even if it was a fucking stupid thing for him to do.

Huge loss that

He typically has 2-3 a season. Fortunately for us, the majority of his recent ones have come on international duty but there's still been a few for us, namely piss poor penalties given against.

City not going to appeal his 3 match CL ban...what a complete idiot for getting sent off like that.

Huge loss that

2 games v sporting and quarters if we progress

 

[1961_vintage]

No big deal. It's the Champions League knock-out stages so Pep was planning on giving young Scott Carson a run-out as right back for those games anyway.

Not surprised , its UEFA and anything they can influence to make it a little more diffcult will be used , we have options , Cancelo reverting to right back and we have Zinchenko or Ake who are very capable on the left.
UEFA could ban half a dozen of our players and we would still be competitive , not sure why they bother with this continued harassment of our club it has ceased to work , even UEFA are running out of idea's to stop us.

How dare UEFA ban a player for 3 games because he kicked an opponent whilst not trying to get the ball.

To the agenda thread!

Could get ugly if we get past Sporting and have to face a PSG or Real Madrid

I think we may sign a left back

 

[jimharri]

I think we may sign a left back

Well; we've got three days if we're going to do that.

ITK?

 

[paulchapo]

It was a stupid petulant challenge, just booted the bloke so I guess we can hardly argue.

City have Zinchenko and Ake. That should see them through three matches.

 

[LongsightM13]

The truly moronic thing in all of it was sending out a half arsed first team with a toxic lazy attitude in a dead rubber, when young lads could have got minutes and nobody crucial gets a three game ban

 

[SJC]

It’s deserved , it was plain stupidity.
He’ll be a big miss as well..

Give it a rest, it was a stupid, idiotic and totally unnecessary challenge, he lost his mind and is rightly punished.

Nonsense.

 

[Nascent Blues]

The real brain fart is not 'doing him' with a sliding tackle from behind. At least then he could have 'claimed' the mitigating factor of going for the ball.
