Sergio Aguero - 2016/17 performances

[MadchesterCity]

1- Nobody is 'calling for a ban'
2- An elbow was thrown
3- The fact it didn't connect is completely irrelevant. He lashed out needlessly out of frustration.
And 4 - We'll cope without him. Nacho is a special player.

Our only saving grace, as others have mentioned, is that the ref bizarrely seems to be looking right at it. I can only assume that somehow he's missed it as it was a definite red card offence.

If Aguero gets off ill be delighted but majorly surprised.

Rag

Strictly speaking it's violent conduct but I think most people would regard whether the opponent is hit or not as relevant. I'd say it should have been a yellow.

If you officiate by the book all the time then you would be disciplining a lot of players and we have already seen more premeditated acts than Agueros this season which have been ignored. You can't do it for some incidents and not others. The ref should either get to ref the game, or you do everything. This a kangaroo court by squealing frightened Man Utd fans

Not violent conduct, no contact, no intent, nothing to see!

He escaped a ban for worse tbf..Here's to hoping

 

[ChicagoBlue]

It is ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that Reid hits Aguero in the left side of the head with his right fist AS Aguero swings his ARM (no elbow to the head OR throat!).

This is a NON-EVENT in the course of a game, and happens almost every time someone goes up for the ball. Reid got caught in the neck (again, NOT THROAT) by Aguero's forearm. Marinner saw it, knew it was nothing, and let it go. Six of one......

And, lest anyone think I do not have some experience with this, I have two fake teeth in the front of my mouth (Leeds Youth vs Wigan Youth, 1980) to prove that I am intimately familiar with the situation and so I take particular interest in such events, especially ones that are so well documented.

I find it laughable that Costa should have been sent off TWICE (once in each of the first two games) and got nothing.....because he already had a yellow card! I find it interesting that the rules were suspended for Ben Thatcher, yet Costa nearly breaks the leg of the keeper and doesn't even get a yellow?

The standards are a fucking joke, and for Chelski and a United fans (Rooney elbow to the head as he sprints across the pitch against Wigan(?)) to be screaming blue murder is the usual Raggish hysteria we are becoming increasingly used to in the media.

Fuck em, fuck em all....the future is blue and there is not a damned thing they can do about it!

Tomorrows papers running with Aguero definitely getting charged. Marriner and his officials have apparently confirmed that they missed the incident.

Trial by slow motion it is....

We have to accept it though. He shouldn't have done it and we should count ourselves lucky we didn't go down to ten men yesterday on top of the forthcoming ban.

Well marriners fucked then aswell.

Or Kung fu.

Showing your age, old timer.....

He is a fucking liar as he was looking straight at it

 

[Machiavelli]

This is a ridiculous interpretation.

The truth is obviously that Aguero was preparing to - and crucially had formed the intention to - deliver a karate kick to Reid's head. Aguero then strained his calf whilst preparing the kick and had to settle for a mere elbow to the temple. A six month bad is about right, with points being docked for this game and all games in which Aguero scored before this game.

Anyone who says this is anything other than twice as bad as Ben Thatcher's forearm smash knows nothing about football.

Or Kung fu.

Banning us from all competitions until Pep leaves seems about the right level of punishment for such thuggery.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

It's funny how these rag cunts are creaming themselves in the hope that Kun is gonna be out for the derby. This is because they now know we are the better team by far and they need all the help they can get. God I fucking despise em!! Just hope we go and fuck em up big style. Arrogant fucking twats!
