Sergio Aguero - 2016/17 performances

The whole retrospective banning system needs a proper overhaul (and for the record I do think Sergio tried to elbow him).
If they want the referee's honest opinion on incidents then they should be taken to a room immediately after the match to rewatch the match and write their report on what they did/didn't see without having any contact or input from any 3rd party. Then that referee report is final and it negates any perceived influence by the media. Because that's the main problem here - it isn't whether Aguero should be banned or not it's the fact there is a perception that it is being influenced by the media.

In rugby league they have a video referee for tries. The process is that the referee gives a decision on the pitch - try or no try - and the video ref has to have absolute cast iron proof to overrule it. If he isn't 100% he goes with the ref. It should be the same in football with retrospective bans as well as appeals against red cards that are actually given on the field. To overturn an on-pitch decision it has to be cast iron with no margin for uncertainty.

If Aguero had been shown a straight red he could have no complaints and any appeal would fail on the grounds there's enough evidence to back up the referee. Conversely he wasn't shown a straight red and I'm not sure there isn't enough doubt - no matter how small - that it wasn't a red to escape a retrospective ban.

The issue of whether Sergio was in the wrong is separate to the issue of whether he should be banned and likewise they are separate to the issue of how retrospective bans should be handled.
 
The hypocrisy of it all gets on my tit ends.

Not content with assaulting a fellow pro, he then thinks it is fine to gob on him for faking it.

As for the ref for Aguero v Reid, if he didn't see that on the day then he needs to put his referees outfit on a hanger in a cupboard and take up another hobby.

what a filthy excuse of a human being doing that to a fellow pro,why in gods name are these wankers worshiped by the media

If that had been the other way round, aguero would not have fallen down clutching his face, there would have no outcry or calls for Reid to be banned.

I see worse tackles, far worse, in every single match on city players, and the likes of silva have suffered most.

They just brush it off, pick themselves up and get on with it, and no city fan expects red cards every time someone clatters a city player - and a lot of them are clearly intentional or at least irresponsible, with the opposite manager having clearly briefed his players to play rough.
I can`t even be arsed to respond other than this.
 
Why did Reid put his hand to his right eye? I just can't see the connection there? Did he just get confused in the moment? Or was he trying to COD people? Was he being intentional? I guess we'll never know ... maybe we should just accept it as the ref did when he allowed the game to continue after glancing back to see Reid still on the ground.
Yep, something fishy about it for sure.
 
It'll be a panel of 3 former referees who decide, appointed by the FA. All 3 need to agree that it was a red card offence for any form of retrospective punishment to be enforced. All 3 will concur however as it's pretty obvious from the replays, it all just depends whether Marriner is going to be honest and admit he saw the incident at the time or if he's going to lie and claim he didn't.
Even if they agree it was deliberate, if one says he would have only given a yellow then effectively he gets away with it.

Edit: I think that's the appeal process you've described once a charge has been issued.

In the first instance, Marriner will be asked if he saw the incident if there's no reference to it in his report. If he says no then he'll be asked what he would have done if he had seen it. If he says he'd have taken no action or issued a yellow then there'd be no further action. If he says it's a red, then the charge of violent conduct will be made. If Aguero appeals then the 3-man panel will look at it.

Why is Reid not being banned for his hand in Aguero's face? Same for same.
Seems like many on here has a death wish and absolutely wants Kun to be banned for nothing.

Cant go around condoning elbows mate, the connection was minimal but hard to argue it wasnt on purpose. If we start defending players when they do shit things we become them scumbags just outside manchester and I would literally rather die of gonorrhea
 
I think most are pissed off with the inconsistency against other teams.

Fellini, Costa,Fabregas, and Shrek get away with it with refs even laughing in some respects and there's no Sky witch hunt. They couldn't wait to ignore a good performance and win for making sure Sergio is out for the Derby.
