Magpie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 'And with the arrival of a Brazilian manager, Chelsea are hoping fans will employ the Latin-style twirling motion when they swing the scarves above their heads during the game, unlike the stretch-above-your-head effect some other teams use.' They'll be handing out an instruction manual next!!!! http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~1393663,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeye Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not really the point though is it? This season is supposed to be the season of respect for refs and all that yet the chelsea players surrounded Halsey while Terry argued as well. Players are supposed to leave the field immediately. If it had been Joey barton who did that "tackle" do you think he would have been let off? Absolutely not - not that any of that is relevent of course!

The red card for John Terry's rugby tackle at the weekend has been withdrawn and he no longer faces a three match ban!! Was never a red car to be fair. Under the laws of the 'professional foul', carvalho a few yards away, was level and heading across as the foul was commited, so Terry wasn't the last man.... but in reality, you can't tell me Terry knew that Carvalho was there, but he certainly knew what he was doing when he dragged the player down as he was goin past him having been wrong footed. If it had been Joey barton who did that "tackle" do you think he would have been let off? Absolutely not - not that any of that is relevent of course! I thought the same thing about Guthrie's challenge, and deserved red card. While he has been rightly criticised for it, can you imagine what the reaction would have been ahd it been Barton? Even just for the challenge, let alone the resulting fractured leg! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridman Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Pretty sure I read somewhere that cards couldn't be downgraded, so the only way for Terry not to get ban is for the FA to rule that he didn't deserve a yellow card? How the f*** was that not a yellow card? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Even more unbelievable is the next news story down on their site. The red card for John Terry's rugby tackle at the weekend has been withdrawn and he no longer faces a three match ban!! Was never a red car to be fair. I disagree. Since when has a full and deliberate rugby tackle on someone running past you an into a good position not a red card, regardless of covering defenders? It was the cynical nature of the challange that makes it a red for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 To the letter of the law it's not a red, but those sorts of tackles should become a straight red imo. It's like when a player is breaking away and the opponent deliberately trips him, no intent of playing the ball, just to stop him getting any further.

cubaricho Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Was never a red car to be fair. He lunged in at the guy in an attempt to stop him from breaking free - yellow. He tackled the guy to stop him from breaking free - yellow. He was effectively the last guy (Carvalho wasn't close enough) - straight red. I don't see how it ever got rescinded.

Come on, it was a red card, but never a 3 match ban sorry. It was a professional foul, and although Terry wasn't last man Robnho would have been two on one with Jo. But this doesn't mean he deserves a 3 match ban, its one thing to get three match for breaking someones leg and another thing to prevent a team from going two on one and getting a 3 match ban. And to be quite candid i don't care about the FA rules! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 There's nothing about being last man in the rules. The rule is about stopping an almost certain goal - which if you're the last man to beat and you take them down, is effectively the same thing.

pinkeye Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Mark Halsey has not been given a Premier League match to referee this weekend, instead he has been given a League 2 game. The reason given was because he stated in his report that he gave Terry the red card for serious foul play, the FA panel recinded the card because, in their opinion, it was not serious foul play. If it had been awarded for a professional foul the card would have probably stood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "challenge" had happened anywhere else on the pitch it would only have been a yellow. Why are people on here so bothered anyway, seeing as most of you think Terry is shit?
