Samir Nasri

Re: Nasri

Mancini ......


Blues’ counterpart Roberto Mancini admitted Nasri deserved to go for his rush of blood, but Bassong should also have been dismissed in the skirmish minutes before the interval.


“Both players came forward with their heads, so if you are going to send off one, then you have to send off both, not only Samir,” said the Italian, who is already facing a Football Association probe for post-match comments towards referee Kevin Friend following the Boxing Day defeat at Sunderland. “Samir said he touched his head, okay, but the other player has done the same. The linesman has a big responsibility also, because it was not a good decision, it is incredible. You want to send off both players? Then, okay, the referee was there, he saw everything. The linesman was behind (the players), he could not see.

“We will appeal, sure. I am disappointed with Samir, and he will pay his fine, but the decision was not correct. Samir did a mistake, okay, but after why when the other player did the same thing, does he send off only one? There are two rules for different teams, and I hate this in football and cannot accept this.

If he is going to appeal the red surely it would help if he himself made it clear he didn't feel it deserved a red?

Have to agree , what Mancini says at the outset there , about Nasri 'deserving' the dismissal , is somewhat confusing when you consider that the club intend appealing ........

he could have taken his head off the way he vaguely nodded a centimeter in his direction

that could have been two deaths and two headless corpses lying on the pitch in as many weeks

no laughing matter

Didn't really make a good defence there did he?

Re: Nasri

I think we may be using RVP's incident at Swansea in our appeal.

Think hes a bit worried about getting deported by FA for adverse comments.

Wont do any good.

Blah, blah, blah, "both refs dealt with incidents at the time and as per our policy, we don't re-refereee games unless it involves a City player"

Result, 4 game ban.

If we appeal then he'll get a 4 match ban for frivalous appeal, just got to take it like always, when we win the league at least we know it's because we're good!

Re: Nasri

Always likely to get sent off for it, but it's a stupid rule. A contact sport in a high pressure environment, little altercations like that are normal, the ref should just calm them down and get on with the game. It's not like it's dangerous.
