Samir Nasri

Re: Nasri

Has it been confirmed that we're going to appeal? We haven't a hope in hell of winning it.

Re: Nasri

Did Bassong get a yellow for the challenge or the afters?

That tackle looks like a red to me

Nasri got a straight red which never was, So surely Bassong should get booked for two incidents, The tackle on Nasri and secondly squaring up?

Reminds me of Zabaleta against Arsenal last season he was sent off for nothing, Well for Sagna giving him a headbutt!

Re: Nasri

I would never have played him again for his cowardice against the rags but come on, today's red was a complete fucking joke.

The ref today was a complete fucking joke!

So you would let a player like Nasri never play for City again because of one mistake? That's just odd.

Anyway, I like Nasri and the sending off was a complete joke. Van Persie retaliated in a much more intimidating manner when he nearly got killed.

Re: Nasri

Funny how we started really well with Samir in the team at Newcastle and today at Norwich...

Give him a break.If he deserved the red then so be it. I will reserve judgement until later. A huge 3 pts is all that matters..

Arsenal away will be the make or break game for me

Re: Nasri

Didn't see the game as I'm visiting the other half in the London, but just seen the tackle, and it must be appealed against. Bassong did just as much and walked away with nothing but one layer of skin shaved off from above his eyebrows. Sorry to bring it up, but it would be disgusting to think that a small little head to head between two players that resulted in no physical injury, would be given the same punishment as a career ending tackle by Roy Keane that had been pre meditated for about four years. I know it was a long time ago and not relevant, but if you put it into perspective, its a ridiculous decision.

Where did football go wrong?

The yellow card that Bassong got HAD to have been for the tackle , or the ref would have had a lot of explaining to do ......

he wasn't gonna send Nasri off until the Linesman stuck his nose in !

Re: Nasri

The team has more penetration when Nasri is in the side. We need to appeal the red for sure. 3 games without him could/will really damage our season.

Poor grading on punishments.

No proper review system that would downgrade Nasri's decision on review without the need for us to appeal to a yellow or nothing.

Really although we had problems of consistency in the AFL review process you really should take a look at what we do here and take the best bits of it and implement it into the Premier league.

Don't want to sound trite or biased as I am a dinkum Aussie but we really have it over the Premier League in the way the game is administered.

It's little wonder at long last the FA dinasours finally invited the CEO and the Chief Operating Officer from the AFL to the Olympics to discuss ways of improving the draconian and out of date system you currently have.

We never stop laughing about it over here and it has nothing to do with me being a mad keen passionate City Supporter.

Re: Nasri

I should clarify that Sami didn´t merit a red card.

But what pissed me off is that he went from rolling on the ground, perfectly acceptable given the challenge, to right in Bassong´s face in a split second.

It was stupid. That´s my problem with him. It was all a bit like he wanted to play the tough guy which we know he isn´t.

Re: Nasri

I thought he was having a great game today until the sending off. It was a ridiculous decision to give him a red card. As has been said already Van Rapists' reaction last week was much worse but he strangely didn't get sent off.

Re: Nasri

it decided to hold scum like gbh keane up as heroes on the broadcasting monopoly/ near-monopoloy that funds and controls our game

and make it a non-contact sport

somewhere in-between is where we need to be

Do you know him personally or his background?

I think he showed again today that we are better attacking with him in the team than without him.

Can someone tell me the other 2 red cards he dished out? Would be interesting to find out whether they were justified or bullshit ones like Nasri suffered today.

Did he send off VK against Wolves last season at the Etihad? IIRC, it was a rebound off Joe that Doyle was going to tap in and Vinnie brought him down. That one was deserved. Can't recall the other one.

Yeah you're right and a quick google has revealed he was the one who sent off Zaba at the Emirates, again for an apparent 'headbutt'.

Re: Nasri

Mancini ......


Blues’ manager 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?
