Rooney Charged 2 game Ban

[city-adam]

Say they give him a one game ban tommorrow...... Would this mean he misses our game?

 

[swp-dream2]

No decision due till tomorrow according to talksport.

the hearing is today therefore the decision has to be today. sounds like more poor reporting from talkshite.

May still be poor reporting, but it was also on radio five live, decision today, announced Thurs.

 

[SWP's back]

No need to take the fucking piss pal,it just pisses me off that there are so many on here thinking the know wots gonna happen and cant prove why??
Not that i know but how can he not get the ban that he been charged??

There is no way on earth that this appeal would have been lodged if the Utd lawyers who advise on these matters didn't think there was a good chance of it succeeding. Think Cleavers has it bang on with a 1 game ban to be honest.

Yeah their lawyers were right when Ferdy got banned and they appealed. Oh hang on....<br /><br />-- Wed Apr 06, 2011 11:35 am --<br /><br />

I don't think they can up it, because he has accepted the charge so there is no frivolous appeal being made. Rooney is appealing the length of the ban, which the FA will reject and uphold the original ban dished out.

Incorrect, it can still be judged as frivolous mate. Check the FA website.

If they leave the decision tomorrow then he can play against fulham as they get 3 days notice of retrospective bans.

Decision is today, announcement tomorrow. Can only imagine its so Chelsea don't goad him tonight.

I gather the rags will be told the decision today, and will then have to decide whether to tell the fat headed chump before tonight's game. Out of 'respect', the FA will not publicly announce the decision until tonight's game is out of the way - maybe late tonight, maybe tomorrow.

For the purposes of any ban, the clock will start today.

whatever ban, is served on the loathsome,despicable piece of slime, it wont be long enough, for many including myself.

I would prefer him to play, and play badly so they have no excuses when we defeat them soundly.

I don't get this - I would prefer him not to play, as this would improve our chances of winning.

Having an excuse will be cold comfort for the rags if we do them next weekend - the result is all that matters.

I'm sure they will let Rooney know asap if it 'good' news, but they will probably want to handle the timing of the public announcement carefully, as there will most likely be a backlash if the ban is reduced/overturned.

I'd imagine if he gets it reduced we will hear tonight. If it's upheld we won't hear until tomorrow.

 

[bluemoon27]

listening to the journo Mike Dennis (think thats what he is called)on ssn this morning and he was saying that the rule as been there for years about swearing and it is an automatic 2 game ban so why should it be reduced

 

[marco]

ssn just said it will not get increased above two match ban, i'd say it wont get reduced either looks like the fa are sticking to there guns on this

Was this a commentator or something official?

 

[clubfoot]

Official from the fa, not going to be increased

 

[taconinja]

I had seen that, but I misread the post as saying SSN had confirmed it wouldn't be decreased either.

 

[larderland]

any think its strange them saying it wont be increased??i dunno maybe im reading into it too mu h,dont know if its a good sign or not

Not really strange. Just means the FA doesn't think it's frivolous. If anything I would guess it's softening the blow for the ban not to be reduced either.

Staying where it is then hopefully..
