Two things that really made me laugh:

"He caught me in the face," he said. "I went down but got straight back up."

No he did not, he caught you on your chest/throat and there was absolutely NO reason to go down at all. And no you did not get "straight back up".

But this one takes the pudding:

Potters striker Ricardo Fuller also gave his backing to the defender, adding: "Ryan is an honest lad, a hard-working lad and he wouldn't do anything to get anyone sent off, so I think he (Adebayor) deserved it."

Coming from Ricardo Fuller the biggest cheat in the Premier League who might even put Christiano Ronaldo to shame...

Exactly, if we had any real desire to win the FA Cup we'd have dealt with them at COMS, knowing full well how hard it is to go away and win their. We were woeful at home and truthfully got what we deserved from the three games between the sides.

like to know why the swinging arm that robert huth did to bellars about 3 mins later in the game which was exactly the same,never even got a mention

 

[Mr Rich]

This is a joke and you are completely wrong of course it was a sending off.

Remember what Poo-lis said last week about Stoke players being honest lads who never take a dive to try and get people sent off, when Whelan got straight back up after Viera violently assaulted him. And questioning Fuller's integrity is a joke this lad never complains at a decision and is a perfectly sporting gentleman.

probably because he was too honest and didn't go down holding his face

Well I'm sure that as Shawcross wasn't so innocent that the ban will get overturned.

I have to say lads what goes round comes round. Last week Mr Adebayor lay down on the floor pulling his own shirt. Once Faye was sent off(rightly) Mr Bayor got up with a nice handshake from lescot thrown in.

It was a red card, simple as that.

Wish some of our fans would drop their victim complex.

It was a red card, but why was it given and should it have been given?

Violent conduct?

Since when has mincing conduct been violent?
