Guest Geordiesned Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Will he play vs Blackburn if he appeals? Appeal decision will be made by then. You sure? It only says he has till tomorrow to decide whether he wants to appeal... Not sure on this one. Certainly in Balotelli's case it was made clear that if he HAD appealed then he would have been available for the Carling Cup Semi-Final as the appeal hearing would have been held after the match.

JH Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 The FA say they try to have all appeals heard and final decisions made before a team's next domestic match (to avoid them appealing just to have a player available for the next match). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wally_McFool Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Will the doddering inconsistent old cunts at the FA charge and ban Van Persie for elbowing a Villa player yesterday? Wouldn't surprise me if they ignore it for fear of upsetting Arsene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's also shite that he misses 3 League games for an offence made in the FA Cup. It would be fairer in all cases if punishment meted out came in subsequent FA Cup ties or whatever competition the offences are made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What really fucks me off about this is that there have been far worse incidents this season and fuck all gets done about them. I'm of the opinion that Cabaye was being naughty there, which would warrant a ban, but Lescott gets away with much worse. Why aren't refs pulled over controversial incidents, yes they are only human but so are footballers. Footballers and managers can get punished for their mistakes and they are made an example of. A truly bad ref incident ends up them taking a championship game for a week. Ex refs are forever defending current refs saying its a difficult job, well relatively so is being a footballer, footballers are on the same pitch as the referee and has to make split second decisions. No doubt in my mind Cabaye made an error in judgement in lashing out but I feel hard done by because Lescott got away with his as did Crouch. IMO Webb did not want to admit missing two major incidents, surely there are people in the FA who disagree and should be able to question his reasoning.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 All clubs who have players banned by the FA's 'Trial by TV/Media' method should send a DVD of the huge number of similar incidents that haven't been punished by the FA and ask them to explain themselves.

Guest VaVaVoom Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Like its been said....It is shocking how inconsistent the FA are with these things. At least they are consistent in being as inconsistent the the officials they employ. If we were to appeal...Which i think would be futile, its worth the thought that the club should compile a video with ALL the other incidents which have went unpunished and ask the question of the FA. As for Cabaye's ban itself i have no problem with it. He has got away with a few nasty incidents already this season and lets be honest he has been shite for a while. Man United game aside. Needs to use this time to watch a lot of PL games and learn from them. The club should be providing him with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 So two years in a row we have gone out of the FA cup to lower league opposition, both times offering completely pathetic performances and both times the misery has been compounded by losing a key central midfielder for three games.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Didn't realise Lennon gave evidence on Shearer's behalf at the appeal hearing. Can't see El-Arsehole from Brighton doing the same, he was happy enough to absolutely clatter Cabaye from behind before going crying to the referee. Back then I think most players especially your British players were real men rather than fannies which most players seem to be today. Of Course what Shearer did was despicable but Lennon was man enough to shrug it off as a heat of the moment thing. Lets not forget the 'abuse' Shearer also used to get from defenders, but again he never moaned. Players today are fannies. Cabaye should have seen red as he did kick-out and was lucky not to make much of a contact. I doubt he set out to kick someone in the head deliberately however, I just think he kicked out in a petualant act of frustration and a player just happened to be close to his foot at that time which makes it look worse. If the FA are to retrospectively punish these kind of things whenever they occur fine, but I doubt that will happen, and therefore I cannot support their decision to ban Cabaye even though technically he deserves it for kicking out.

midds Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Shouldn't have reacted at the end of the day. Was petulant but can't complain too much. It's the inconsistency of the FA that's the frustrating thing. You can smash someone in the face with your elbow or try to gouge someone's eye and nothing happens. It's a lottery and needs to be addressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
