Magpie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Assou-ekkotu got away with an awful challenge last night that the ref apparently didnt see. I wonder if we will hear anything about that. Course not, Arry's going through enough as it is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 El-Abd fancies Cabaye, hence giving evidence on his behalf. Simple really. Just hope theres a woman on the panel frothing at the gash for Yohan too, then I think we're fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Wasn't Brighton gonna support Cabaye at the hearing? doesnt matter. The FA can't be seen to saying what Cabaye did was OK fwiw i think its harsh, but they can't condone it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I only saw the incident properly yesterday. I promise I'm usually quite balanced about these things and I don't think it's that bad at all. There's no way they can categorically say it's deliberate.

Big Geordie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think he'll get busted and can't really have any complaints on this one. What I do have a question about is why the likes of Van Persie, Lescott and Crouch have managed to getaway with far worse over the last couple of weeks. With the last two, we know it'll be because they are England players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Pardew rages at Ray Stubbs: http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2012/02/01/pardew-unhappy-at-ray-stubbs-over-yohan-cabaye-incident-61634-30239579/ Ironically when I phoned Sky to cancel my ESPN subscription once I found out that Cabaye had been charged I gave Ray Stubbs as my reason for cancelling when the wifey on the other end of the phone asked me. Whether he deserved to be charged or not is a matter of opinion. Maybe he did but then when you look at other recent incidents which were far worse than what Cabaye did (Lescott, Crouch & Van Persie) maybe he can count himself a little unlucky. What you cannot have is a television presenter, someone who has never played the game before, demanding that the FA look into it, "The FA have got to look into that, surely" was the phrase he used on more than one occassion. He's there to present the programme and ask the opinions of the 2 professionals alongside him, not to ask the FA to look into specific incidents.

durhamunigeordie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think he will get 4 game ban, we should have just taken this on the chin Indeed, would mean that he misses the whole of February which would be a real blow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Whats the odds on E-A's tackle not earning him the same punishment? Highlighted by Sky yet bound to be ignored.

Cabaye has been acting like a hypocritical baby recently and deserves it. He needs to improve his on pitch temperament and reverse his poor form. As for Stubbs, he would have said the same for any player, and the 'not a pro's argument isn't good as he was a pro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 The system as it exists is not even a kangaroo court, it randomly seizes on "offences" frivolously selected by unqualified TV pundits with little credibility and is thereafter judged by faceless panels who may well have a vested interest in the outcome. Cabaye's case in particular seemed trivial in comparison to other actions which occured at the weekend, the nature of the challenge on him could be offered as mitigation and he has a reasonable case for claiming self defence. They'll probably just throw him to the lions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thought the incident warranted a booking for both El Abd and Cabaye tbh. No sending offs and certainly no bannings. Cabaye was badly fouled 3 times against Brighton and he slightly retaliated at one of them. No big deal.. a booking would have sufficed given the circumstances.
