The big issue here is the ridiculous rule that if the ref has 'seen' it, it can't be reviewed. It's high time the fucking FA realised that these things need to be reviewed. Someone needs to take retrospective action on potential career ending tackles - but I won't hold my breath.

It's not an FA rule, it's a FIFA one. I've no clue what the FA's position on it is, but they can't change it unilaterally.

He's another one for the 'jelly and ice cream' list. The senile, ticket touting old ****. Surely Charlton and Pisscan are going to go soon. Looks like I'll be piling on the pounds over the next few years.

Can you point me to the FIFA rule? I'm fairly sure it's an FA rule as La Liga have no retrospective action and the MLS have full retrospective action. Not only that, Ben Thatcher?

I personally don't blame the refs. They can't be expected to see everything. As I said in another thread, I firmly believe they guess at a lot of their decisions, or they use a built in prejudice, based on newspaper articles and other media bullshit. Any match going fan can see that ref's give decisions on how much reaction a player gives to a tackle - all the rolling around etc.

Some of the recent ones v us:

1. Sane - at full speed was difficult to see, even the commentators missed it, as did I. The replay showed a fucking shocker though.
2. Diaz - the ref's view was blocked by Barry (so God knows why he even gave a Yellow - well, he gave it for Diaz (honestly) rolling around, and our player's reactions). On replay though you could see it was a shocker.
3. Kane and Alli - shockers both, and again even worse on replay.
4. McLean - the I rent was there, and even if he didn't catch the player, it needs looking at.

The big issue here is the ridiculous rule that if the ref has 'seen' it, it can't be reviewed. It's high time the fucking FA realised that these things need to be reviewed. Someone needs to take retrospective action on potential career ending tackles - but I won't hold my breath.

totally agree about the reaction getting the decision, and I think Pep has told our players to make more of a meal about it this year because of that

I would love to see a video compilation of the dangerous tackles against City players this year

Not easily, I'm out and about today. I just read that recently. Will try later if that's ok?

I mentioned this a while ago but it's more and more evident by the week. The rags top brass, Charlton and his buddies used to be constantly captured by the media applauding each goal , revelling like pigs in shit every achievement by bacons teams, lauding over the swamp like some sort of roman emperors as they smashed everyone into the turf . You never see them anymore, where are they now their club needs their support? Executive glory hunters

There's an article in the DT this morning highlighting the 'tackles' we have witnessed over the last few games. The general thrust seems to be that referees need to do more to protect players. Well what about applying the laws and issuing red cards for what the entire world can see is a sending off offence!

to be fair to the video, it clearly states the attitude of mickey taking and disrespect was a 70s attitude that Nevin was aware of in his playing days and that has been consigned to history in the modern game. The headline is a little misleading (probs to cause a stir) but Simon Curtis can't have watched it to tweet that response

From the FT today:
"BT shares fell to a six-year low on Friday after it reported a loss of 5,000 pay-TV customers in the third quarter as the telecoms company announced weaker-than-expected results."

Ha! And yes I'm one of the 5,000 thanks to their depressingly negative coverage.

Ha ha I am also one of them. When they asked me why I wanted to cancel I just replied 'Robbie Savage'.
 
I notice Wenger thinks money has made various leagues predictable.

In City´s case it is the way that money is invested that is the key. We plough profit back into football whereas Arsenal´s owners do not.
The key word being invest rather than spend so perhaps he is the problem at Arsenal because they certainly have the money.
